I always love a good Haul post, I love seeing all the lovely, dreamy products others get and adding them onto my wish list. So I went a little crazy in Mac recently & thought I would share the stuff I bought with you. Sometimes makeup counters can be intimidating for some people when they don't know what they are looking for so hopefully this post gives you a little inspiration.
I thought I'd have this blog done quicker than I thought so bold of me , I have had these products two or three weeks now so I can really give you my opinion on them.
These are the products I bought:
'Give me sun'
This is one of Macs mineralize skinfinish bronzers. I had heard so much about it and needed it for myself! It gives the most gorgeous natural sheen to the face. Such a beautiful sun kissed warm coloured tone which would look gorgeous on almost any skin tone. I use this as my contour powder what I really love about it is it doesn't dry out the skin at all because its a mineralize powder. This makes the dream contour powder because there is nothing worst than a cakey contour as it makes the face look dirty. I have been using this powder everyday since I got it. I love it and would definitely recommend it.
My poor harmony blusher I normally wear as my contour has been thrown a side since I've gotten this. Although I still love harmony just need a change.
(If you want to read more about my usual/old contour harmony powder also by mac. Just have a look back through my blog posts)
Harmony is a more suitable contour for blondes like myself as it is very ashy. Give me sun would work for almost every skin tone so its a more versatile product in that sense.
Price: €30
'Pro long wear foundation NC35'
So originally, I wanted to try out a new foundation because its been over two years I have been using my pro long wear foundation. So I bought the 'Studio fix foundation' in NC20. Which surprisingly was a prefect colour to match my skin. Pro long wear foundation is slightly lighter in colour in comprasion to studio fix, so if your a studio fix usual looking to try out the pro long wear go up a shade or two. I was happy with the texture and coverage of the studio fix, although it is a bit heavier than my prolong wear. In the shop they tried it on my face, my face a few hours began to feel irritated and a broke of slightly. Due to this, I brought it back because I didn't want to risk doing damage to my skin. I think its because the Studio fix was heavier on my face and maybe my pores couldn't breathe, I'm not sure.
I brought the studio fix back and swapped it for my lovely, dreamy old reliable holy grail of foundation which is NC35 pro long wear. I am so in love with this foundation, It served me right trying to change it!
For me, its just the right amount of coverage. For day time I will only use a small drop on top of a generous amount of moisturizer and then other times I build up the coverage. Its not a dewy foundation, yet I wouldn't call it matte. It does however keep any oily areas under control. Sometimes for a dewy day look ill mix a tad bit of my Inglot sparkle dust 02 in with it to give an all over glow. This foundation stays put for the whole day, yet is very easy too remove without damaging your skin or leaving it feeling heavy.
I love love love this foundation.
Price: €36.50
Vino Lip liner
So I love a good dark , plumy purple lip. I bought this lip liner to go with my Mac 'Diva' and 'Rebel' Lipsticks. Its a bit of a daring statement lip, which I love. Its not for everyone. But if you do own and purple lipsticks this linner is essential to get a lovely clean crispy line around the lips.
Price: €16.50
Boldy Bare Lip Liner.
This has to be my new everyday go to lip. Boldy bare gives your lips such a natural peach hue matte look its just gorgeous. It a prefect nude lip which a touch of summer. I love wearing this lip liner on it own. It just enough colour to define your lips without over powering them. It fab, you must must must get this!
Price: €16.50
Peach Blossom
This is one of macs creme sheen lipsticks. It gives a love gloss to the lipstick and smells fab. It again is a gorgeous peachy colour nude. Can be worn on its own but I love to pair it with the boldly bare lip liner above. I also like it with my soar lip liner also from mac.
Price: €20

Sketch
So this is my irst ever mac eyeshadow. I know how have I lived. When I was in store the really love girl who was serving me told me it works out cheaper to buy one of the palettes and stick the single shadow into them rather than buying the potted shadows. So that is what I done. The 16 holding pallet is 18 euro and then every shadow you buy then is 10 euro. Instead of buying the potted shadows for 16 euro I am pretty sure.
Anyways, I got this gorgeous sketch eyeshadow. Its a gorgeous purple colour deep almost grey toned.
Price: €10
Rapid Black eyeliner.
This is one of those products where you fall head over heals for in the shop and when you bring it home your like 'mehh'. I thought this was the best product ever because of how easy it was to use and it is. Such a good eyeliner to get good precision with, But unfortunately it falls down colour wise. It is not black enough for me and doesn't even stay on that well. Big disappointment. Wouldn't recommend it ladies. Such a waste of my money.
Price: €30 (wasted!)
Well I hope you enjoyed reading this, as much as I enjoyed buying them!
