MAC Pigments & LUSH Big Shampoo Video
Hey there!
Here’s a video about how to get big hair and some swatches of some MAC Pigments that I am recently getting into.

Welcome! My name is Kelly and Vampy Varnish is a cruelty-free beauty blog.
Golden Olive is absolutely gorgeous. I don’t have any MAC pigments. Wish I could wear them, but I’m allergic to bismuth oxychloride and I think pretty much all MAC eye shadows contain it. Could you check if it’s an ingredient in Golden Olive for me?

HI Glockoma,
Unfortunately I don’t keep the boxes that include the ingredients (I think) so I don’t know. You can try Googling it or calling them to find out though.
This was pretty cool to know! I always like your hair, and I have the exact same type! Very fine, but LOTS of it! (Although I’m brunette) I need to cut my hair, because I’ve been too poor for a salon visit, my hair is down to my shoulderblades! I usually have it your length! But when I did have a bob, the best thing that always worked for me was TIGI Catwalk Root Boost!
And the HD filming looks FABULOUS! I like the warm glow of the room too!
HI Mariah,
I had a bob for so many years, it really works so well with my hair type. I never tried that TIGI stuff though.
It’s funny but the lighting was SO yellow I had to tone it way down in iMovie. Don’t know if it’s because of the different camera, or because this was at night and I usually film in the day but it was very different looking!
VV, not sure if you want us to comment on the blog or on You Tube, so I’m just going to comment here. Thanks for the video! I have the complete opposite hair (thick, curly, & lots of volume) from you, so I’m not sure how much I’ll take away from that section of the video, but I did think your hair looked awesome! Are you liking the LUSH Lemony Flutter? That’s one of my faves from LUSH. My other favorites are “Breath Of Fresh Air” toner & “Angels on Bare Skin” scrub & “A French Kiss” bubble bar. On to the MAC pigments, they look so cool. I have never tried, so I would like more info about how they actually work (are they just jars of loose powder or what). Obviously, I could head on over to MAC to figure this out, but that might have been nice to include in the video (or a subsequent video if you swatch more of them). I LOVED the cornflower blue color on you! Do the pigments crease at all??
Hi SB Sweetie,
You can comment either place
I do like Lemony Flutter and plan on doing a LUSH video actually.
The pigments are loose powders, milled very fine. They are very opaque and don’t crease on me, as long as I use a primer underneath. And you only need the smallest amount!
I am so glad that you like Big. It has done wonders for my hair.
I also love pigments. The only full size pigment I have is Deckchair and I probably have over 50 pigment samples that I have gotten over the years.
BTW, I looked for the TT pencil you talked about in your last video at Sephora this Friday. I almost got it but when I swatched it against UD’s Covet, I realized that they are almost identical colors so I didn’t get it since I own the UD one.
marisol´s last post…Disappointed…
HI marisol,
I can’t believe how pigmented the pigments are (duh that sounds lame hahaha)!
I don’t think I have UD Covet yet so that’s good to know!
I absolutely LOVE your hair! I have the same hair type (fine but lots of it), and I have a hard time getting volume without hairspray. This looks fantastic though, so thanks!!
Hi Breanna,
Yep that was my issue also, if I wanted volume at the crown it was all about backcombing which got a little annoying after awhile! Thanks!
Your hair looks great! I was wondering if there is en expiry date on that shampoo? And omg I must have watched the beginning of your vid at least 10 times because I get getting interrupted and had to start over each time! lol!

Hi Tasha,
Yes it expires in July 2011, so it’s good for about a year.
