MAC Posh Paradise Paint pots

I have recently purchased the MAC paint pots from the Posh Paradise collection through an Ebay seller named achandco. The Mac counters in Australia are selling these paint pots for AUD$35 each but I managed to get them via ebay for USD $21.50 each (+ $6 shipping for the whole lot). Well, it's certainly a rip-off to buy from Australia when you can get it cheaper else where.

Anyhow these are the 3 shades I bought:

Idyllic : Mid-tone copper bronze (Very pigmented)

Genuine Treasure : Reflects antique gold. (There is a mixed reviews about this one but I do like it. It is a gorgeous color. The application is very smooth and does not have the gritty feeling of the glitters. It is quite sheer but you could add on more for intensity. )

 Half-Wild : Mid-tone purple (Very pigmented)

Left to right: Idyllic, Genuine Treasure and Half-Wild

True to it's description, they are indeed very long lasting and I've worn Genuine treasure several times and has not smudged on me. So definitely worth the buy!

Comparision between Nars- Albatross highlighter and Giella Eye M Glam

I have been asked about the differences between Nars Albatross and Giella Eye M Glam highlighter. Well, the differences would be:-

Nars Albatross -

•  Pressed powder Highlighter blush
•  USD$27 (http://www.narscosmetics.com)
• Mainly for face usage as highlighter (but I suppose there's no harm using it as highlighter for eyes)
• Shade is more of whitish gold tone with extremely fine shimmers.       

Giella Eye M Glam -                         

• Finely milled loose powder highlighter
• USD$35 (http://giella.com) A little goes a long way so a jar will last a LONG time!
• Can be use on eyes, face and any part of body to brighten, highlight and lift.
• On the website, it stated as it gives a golden glow. When I swatched it, it's more of a rosey gold tone on me and it has more shimmers to it. However it blends out beautifully on skin.

Below are the swatches:-

Unfortunately the camera didn't pick up the color of the highlighters on my cheeks but I do hope this helps with your search of the highlighter that you want!
