Things i've bought from Mac lately..

Just a typical shopping post to show a couple of things i've bought from Mac over the weeks, nothing too special, but you never know you may just see something you really love that you would like to buy for yourself!

Firstly Baby Sparks dazzleglass, a beautiful bubblegummy pink with flecks of glitter that the majority of the time look a gorgeous blue colour I always lean more to lipstick than lipgloss and shockingly this is my first dazzleglass! But i picked wisely because its absoloutly lovely.






Even though its winter now, i'm getting more and more in to bronzers as i go along! Now, i don't think Mac are too famous for their bronzers, infact im waiting for Nars Laguna to arrive which i feel like i've been waiting for forever, but since im on an adventure to find the perfect bronzer for me, i didn't think a Mac one would hurt. I got Mac bronzing powder in Solar Riche, it's a pretty golden brown with a slight hint of shimmer in it and it looks GORGEOUS on. I found that this teamed with a creamy golden highlighter (I used Topshops) gives a healthy golden glow, it makes you look really radiant, and this is coming from someone who is as white as a sheet!





Last of all, another one of my favourite Mac products, their lipsticks! I got Shy Girl, a peachy orange nude (Somewhere in that category hehe!) with a cremesheen finish! I wish i could say that there was a little more to this lipstick, don't get me wrong it is beautiful on but i'm still sort of a bit meh over it. It's not going to be a one that i take much pride in wearing (unlike my beautiful Myth!) Just something ill put in my bag and go with, depending on what colour makeup im wearing! I'm really sorry about the pictures of the lipstick too, my house is extremely poor for light and i'm not so sure that the pictures are true to its colour.





Thats it for now! I hope you enjoyed my little shopping post! For some reason i've really decided i don't like to use the word haul, i'm not sure why i just find it a little bit annoying and sort of..american?! I would love to you what everyone else has been buying lately, it takes me a couple of pictures or a video on an item for me to feel the need to rush out and get it myself!

So there were one or two Mac products that i had wanted to try forever, which were the paint pots and the 'hue' lipstick. I also needed to pick up some more foundation as i had ran out and was using a Clinique one which was way too dark for me, and lastly, Tanya Burr recently posted an amazing makeup tutorial for halloween using these exact eyelashes, i thought they added so much to the look and finished it perfectly, so decided i was going to see what they looked like for halloween too.

For some reason i had also been under the illusion that Hue was a cremesheen lipstick from Mac and was really dissapointed and let down when i wondered why it was so sheer when i put it on! Silly me turns out it was a glaze, after grumping around for a minute or so i realised in the end that i quite liked the wash of colour it gave when you put it on!

'Bare Study' paint pot, its so lovely and shimmery!

 



Swatches of Hue and Bare Study



I can't wait to see how the paint pot works as a base with eyeshadows over it and how it compares to the eye primers i have! In future i would also love to try out the 'Blackground' paintpot!
