Mac Haul | Makeup Kit Buying and Treats!

Mac Haul

Mac Myth Lipstick

Mac Paintpot Soft Ochre

Pan Eyeshadows in Brick Red, Bitter, Aqua

Sumptuous Olive, Omega

I feel like I haven't bought anything from Mac in ages (probably a lie) and I've been wanted to try some staples for a while. I also had this Mac eyeshadow palette that I never used or brought in my professional kit. I could never see the point in carrying this around because it wasn't full. So this is my new mission. Me being a bit lazy, I never actually got up to check how many shadows I needed to complete it so at the time I just bought 5, another 3 more to go. I'm trying to add some more bright or unusual shadows to this palette as I already have a full neutral Mac palette. (Recommend me any favs!?)

So firstly the staples, well everyone's but mine as this is the first time I've purchased Myth and Soft Oche. On first impression I rate Myth 7/10, it is super, super pale so alone it was quite hard to work with as it showed the dryness in my lips, but with a gloss over the top it looked lovely! I am obsessed with nude lips at the moment. First impressions of Soft Oche is 10/10, for a start paint pots are one of my favourite products from Mac as they work so well for me! Always a must have step in creating any look. Soft oche combines concealer (as I'm pale) and a eyeshadow base which is next level!

On to the eyeshadows I bought;

Brick Red, Omego, Sumptuous Olive, Aqua and Bitter.

I used Omega today on a clients brows, who was super fair with bleached looking brows, this was the perfect colour. I felt I have been lacking a shade like this to cater to a very natural blonde to use really subtly or build it up.

A fairly shameful Mac Haul..

 

Hello my lovelies, I know it's been a long, long time, far too long! Sorry life got in the way, a lot has changed in my life in the past few months and a lot of changes are still to come but I can only say for the better! I hope you are all still doing well :)

 

I know this post is a lot but I can assure you it has been gathered over the time that I've been away, it definitely wasn't all purchased at once and some were gifts, leading me on to my first two products..

 

 

I received these from my brother this Christmas (seems like so long ago, he did well didn't he!) The lipstick is one of Mac's most popular, Cream Cup, I'd been meaning to purchase this for a while but I had Angel which is quite similar (more pink, less nude) and was waiting until I'd finished it but it was as if he'd read my mind! This lipstick lives up to it's hype 100%, perfect for everyday, go buy it! Moving on to the eyeshadow, palette this was from the Christmas collection so I'll not say not say too much about it saying as its limited edition but as always they are amazing eyeshadows! (includes Taupeless, Satin Taupe, Love Spice, Spellcaster, Blackslip) 

 

 

 On to things I've purchased myself; above are blue brown pigment and constructivist paint pot. In love with this pigment it's a 'duochrome' pigment so in some lights it looks an amazing blue green and in others a lovely warm bronzy brown. Such an original Mac product that I don't think I have seen before so I think it's definitely worth forking out the money for it. On the other hand give constructivist a miss, it creases like crazy and blends away to nothing, fail.

 
Favourite face products of the moment, studio fix powder in c2, studio fix fluid in nc20 and studio finish concealer in nw20.They all work amazing together and I can't fault them, yet. A great combination if you get a shiny t-zone through the day and need a bit of help keeping that at bay.

 Completely unnecessary purchases but I seen a makeup artist wearing a really red, warm smoky eye and it made her blue eyes look amazing, hence why I bought cranberry eyeshadow (honestly think it's my favourite eyeshadow ever now). The other mineralize eyeshadow in Winter Pursuit was just another 'that's sooo pretty I need that' purchases, it's nice on the eyes but I do think it looks prettier in the pan than what it actually translates on the eyes.

 
Lastly Fling brow pencil which I know don't know how I lived without, if you have blonde hair, buy this immediately, the colour is perfect! The lip pencil is In Synch, I haven't used it much yet, this is a recent purchase but its a lovely nude, peach!


I think I just rambled an awful lot, need get back into blogging... but I hope you enjoyed this post!Please follow my blog for more! I promise.. haha thanks xox
