MAC Stolen Moment Extra Dimension Eyeshadow |
Today, we’re taking a break from Japanese Makeup Week to talk about MAC Stolen Moment Extra Dimension eyeshadow. MAC just released quite a lot of Holiday 2012 products – I think there are three separate collections. I bought just one item, Stolen Moment eyeshadow from the Glamour Daze collection.
Stolen Moment is packaged in standard MAC packaging. The pan appears to be the same size as a regular eyeshadow, but it actually contains less – 1.3g, while a regular MAC eyeshadow has 1.5g. It also costs more; $19.50 for an Extra Dimension eyeshadow vs. $15 for a regular eyeshadow ($12 for a pro pan). MAC’s price increases have been talked about a lot in the beauty blogging world; I for one find myself buying less and less MAC the more the price goes up! That said, this is a fantastic eyeshadow, and for me, it’s worth the steep price.
Stolen Moment is described by MAC as a dark taupe, and I agree with that description. It is a really lovely color, a mix of purple and grey with a hint of brown. It has a high-sheen, shimmery finish. the texture is great – soft, smooth, and pigmented.
I have several recent taupe acquisitions – Stolen Moment, the taupe from the Majolica Majorca palette I reviewed yesterday, and Addiction Flack Back (which I will be reviewing later this week). I swatched them all together, along with MAC Moth Brown and Urban Decay Mushroom. I was very pleased to see that each shade is noticeably different – no dupes! Here are the swatches:

Overall, I would definitely recommend this eyeshadow – even at the inflated price. It’s both a great color and a great quality product. And, even better – it’s not sold out everywhere yet! I found it available this morning at -->Macy’s -->. It is sold out at MAC online and at Nordstrom (my preferred place to buy MAC), but you might still be able to find it at a counter.
