Mac Haul

Something a beauty blogger can't resist is Mac, and I definitely can't. Even if I just buy one thing, I still feel the necessity. I actually bought these things just after Christmas, on a post Christmas shopping trip were I hit the sales. However unfornately the sales were disappointing so I trotted over to Mac as they never disappoint and walked away with two products which I have wanted for a while. I should probably see it as a blessing that the closest Mac is around a hour away. I thought I would do a haul as one everyone loves to be nosy and two who doesn't love Mac.
 The first purchase I made was a lipstick in the shade Sunny Seoul and is a cream sheen so essentially is creamy on the lips. I would call this a typical me colour- one day I may be adventurous- its a lovely mixture between a coral and a pink. A lovely colour for everyday wear as the finish is very natural and isn't opaque so if you prefer a shade which gives off a lot of colour this isn't a shade I would suggest. I absolutely adore Mac lipsticks and this is another shade I am glad to add to my collection, perfect for the Summer.
Another thing which I have wanted to try for a long time is Mac eye shadows. Everyone raves about them, I just couldn't ever make my mind up on whether to get them or not. I mean firstly there is so much choice down to the colour range and size of the palette and of course the price as they aren't exactly the cheapest. However I decided to bite the bullet and buy a quad, as you able to fit four eye shadows which isn't an unmanageable amount however is more than a duo would offer. After finally making this decision, I decided to pick up one shade Wood winked. Woodwinked is a lovely shimmery brown which is comparable to the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and on bronze. So far I am impressed with the quality of this shade and can't wait to fill this palette. I think the empty spaces encourage me to buy more- always a positive and negative.

  3. I don't own anything MAC which probably surprises you but I am always looking out for dupes of a high end beauty product, is that odd? I'm currently holding a giveaway on my blog, it's not much but it'd be great if you could enter :)

  5. I've been eyeing the large size pro palette for a while - I love the clear lid :) The smaller ones are really cute to me, haha. I heard that Woodwinked is a really popular shade!

  10. I've never bought anything from MAC (that probably makes me a bad blogger aha!) but I would love to try out one of their eyeshadows. Woodwinked looks stunning, and I think I also see having a quad that's not full yet as both a good thing and a bad thing.. hehe.
