MAC Haul
I recently decided to treat myself to a little shopping spree at my local MAC counter, and thought id share the pieces that i picked up.
I had meant to grab a pro longwear concealer too, but totally forgot! I was so annoyed with myself when i got home. Just means ill have too visit again soon, oops!
But anyway here's the bits and bobs I got.
First up is the Perfect Topping skin finish. It's a gorgeous blend of different shades of highlighter to create the 'Perfect Topping' (haha). The blend of colours also give a CC effect, so help to cover any blemishes or uneven complexion. This is only a gentle highlighter, so it doesn't give an overpowering glow. Just a hint on the cheekbones for a healthy look.
A staple in any beauty bloggers collection is an amazing red lipstick. And i think I've found my favourite. after hearing great things i decided to try the Ruby Woo lipstick. Its a true red colour with blue undertones (great for helping to whitening the appearance of your teeth). Although the finish is a Retro Matte, it doesn't dry out the lips like other Matte finish lipsticks do. It is incredibly long lasting too, as i only had to reapply once though the night, although it does have a habit of transferring so be careful!
I've committed a beauty blogging sin here, as i forgot to take photos before i used it Oops!
I picked up a Painterly paint pot, which I've had my eye on since i saw it in one of VelvetGhosts videos on YouTube. Its a creamy eye colour which goes on smooth and dries on your lids. It doesn't crease or dry out and creates a great eye shadow base. I love this colour because its perfect on its own for a nude look, or as a base for smokey eyes. It also conceals any blemishes or complexion imperfections.
The last thing i got is just more of a housekeeping item, not as exciting as new makeup! Its the Mac brush cleanser. I love this for cleaning my brushes between uses, It cleans, disinfects and lengthens the life of your brushes. It also helps to reduce the drying time needed. Spot cleaning your brushes between uses also helps to prevent breakouts as the bacteria is cleaned off. Although i still deep clean my brushes every 2-3 weeks depending on how much heavy makeup ive been using.
Everything is available on the MAC website. Here.
