MAC Haul

Well yesterday I decided to take a trip over to Bluewater and visit the MAC store in House of Fraser.......My excuse was I had some vouchers for xmas......! Plus who really needs an excuse to visit MAC anyway????.....

I was interested to see the new "Warm and Cosy" collection although there were not many products that were exciting me from looking at other beauty blogs. But my purchases were


The MAC "cuddle" shade stick (in the white case)......This is a really lovely product, very creamy and easy to apply, I hate these shade sticks when there dry and you almost have to scrap them across your eye...this is not like that atall and I was tempted to buy "teddy" in this range too which was a lovely metallic brown colour, but I resisted!!!

Next up from this collection was the MSF in comfort, (above) I didnt think I was going to buy a MSF but I loved this one, it was duly applied by one of the MAC artists and i was sold!!!.....it's a really lovely brown with flecks of gold might work better on darker skin like mine, could be to heavy on fair skin......

r>Now I was going with all intentions of buying a couple more eye shadow singles, and vanilla pigment that I had heard good things about from follow bloggers.....but after looking at vanilla it was going to give a very similar end result as the "cuddle" shadestick and out of the two I felt I would get more wear out of the stick!.............After looking at the rest of the pigments I decided I would try a couple more, the colours are really beautiful, I decided to try "Golden Olive" and "Blue Brown" I would never have norally picked up the blue brown but one of the girls working there had it on and it looked GORGEOUS!!!......she had on a base of "Blackground" paint pot which I have and then layered the pigment over the top, it looked stunning!...will maybe try and do a pic of it on my eyes for this blog.

Lastly I have been on the hunt for a good concealer now for some time, and believe me have tried loads, high end to drugstore and still nothing that really works!!!......so i thought I would try out MAC and decided on the MAC moisturecover in NW25 this was applied to my eyes in the shop and WOW!! it really seemed better than anything I have used before, but I will report more on this as i use it....

>Anyway money spent now im poor again...but heh these purchases make me happy......
