MAC Girls Risk Taker Arrives at Ulta

The MAC Girl Palettes are getting a new addition this Spring with the Girls Risk Taker Palette that has arrived at Ulta.com today. As you know, MAC launched several “Girl” Palettes last year each of which contains one highlighter and either a bronzer or blush. They were a bit different for MAC as these are rectangle in size and sort of “cuter” with the packaging details. It’s also a refreshing change to see MAC moving away from quads and 8-pan palettes as over the last few years their eyeshadow and/or face and eyeshadow palettes have gotten larger and larger with each new seasonal or limited edition launch.

The MAC Girls Risk Taker Palette ($39.50) contains a bronze and pink highlighter as well as eight eyeshadows. w

Shades include:

  • Risky Business (dark purple grey with magenta/green pearl)
  • Dangerously Elegant (darkened brown with green/gold pearl)
  • Fashion Fanatic (bright red fuchsia)
  • Outfitted (light peach with silver pearl)
  • Bossing It (warm bronze)
  • Totally Fierce (peachy pink)
  • Free Ride (rosy muted mauve)
  • Totally Obsessed (light neutral)
  • Let It Rock (light gold highlighter)

It seems like pinks, berries, and dusky roses are having their moment in the spotlight for Spring and headed into Summer. I’m still hoping for a coral or golden peach come back but I’m not minding all these lovely roses in the least.

Oh and by the way if you are hoping for corals and peaches for Summer you’ll be happy to know Etude House has yet another peachy palette on the way shortly much like the Juice Bar Palette. Let’s hope it turns into something wonderful!

The MAC Girls Risk Taker Palette is at ulta.com right now.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Oy. Of all the names. Risk Taker. Is it me? Does this not look super bland to you aside from the ubiquitous PopofPink (so pervasive it should be its own word with studlycaps)? The palette design screams “we want ALLthe millennial $$”� …but those colors. And it’s not like MAC couldn’t have done something interesting. They’ve made every color in the Pantone universe by now. They could innovate, or, you know, take risks, if they so chose. And they have! But not here. Unless it just photographed like a bland dish of eggs? You think it’s actually better than it appears here? But judging by the rest of this line I don’t think so.

    Risk Taker. Wondering if the tag line is: you take risks with the rest of your life, why push it?

      Oh, yeah. Lookin for risks in all the wrong places, lookin for risks in 1000 faces. Except the m/u really is all the same, warm neutrals with pop of pink or maybe purple. S.t. I think these palettes would be better named Boring AF. I could philosophize about the whys, etc. but this is about the m/u, and it drives me bonkers that the millennial are the UPPER limit of the population that’s driving the market. Arrrrrgh!b
