MAC Haul


I recently made an online MAC order as my beloved MSF Natural was on its last legs. I use this every day to set my makeup or to even out my skintone if can't be bothered with proper foundation. I got sent the tiny sample of Zoom Lash mascara free with my order. Its an alright mascara but what I like best is how cute the tiny tube is. I keep this in my handbag for quick top-ups. I also decided to cheekily add a couple of other bits that I've been lusting after to my order.




I bought three pro palette refill eyeshadow pans in the colours Club, Brun and Vanilla. Club is a red-brown with green pearl, Brun is a matte muted blackish-brown & Vanilla is a peachy-ivory with a slight shimmer. I've always thought that Club was a nice colour but never really felt compelled to buy it until I saw Amelia Lily wearing it on The X Factor. I think shes bloody gorgeous and her makeup always looks great. I got Brun to wear as a crease colour for a natural eye, to wear smudged under my eyes and I might try it as an eyebrow colour too. I bought Vanilla because I love pale highlighter colours.

I also bought a matte lipstick in the colour Please Me. Its a muted rosy tinted pink. Its surprisingly not too drying for a matte lipstick. I would definitely make sure your lips are properly exfoliated and moisturised before using this colour as it can highlight any dead skin there. My faves for lip preparation are Lush's Bubblegum Lip Scrub and Philosophy's Kiss Me Tonight. It is really pigmented and applies very nicely. I would've taken a picture of it on my lips but I'm being lazy today and can't be bothered to actually put on any makeup, soz!



Top - Vanilla / Malt / Ricepaper / Patina / Brun
Middle - Brule / Naked Lunch / Amber Lights / Woodwinked / Club
Bottom - Shroom / All That Glitters / Expensive Pink / Satin Taupe / Carbon

The addition of those three eyeshadows means that I've finally completed my first (and probably last!) MAC eyeshadow palette. I depotted my Shroom and Carbon eyeshadows to finish it off. I still have 8 loose MAC eyeshadows so I might buy a couple of four pan palettes to give them a home. I daren't buy another 15 palette because it'll only encourage me to buy more!

  1. MAC is the ultimate on my makeup wishlist. When I officially get my first 'proper' full time job (june hopefully -crosses everything) I think I might just have to reward myself. The completed pallette looks gorgeous, I love the soft shades, the lipstick is beautiful too! Lucky girl enjoy them!

  4. I really wish I could apply and blend eye make up. It looks such a mess on me :( Totally useless, tried watching youtube videos too. I only ever wear nude then put a black flick on top or a bit of gold. Need to have a lesson or soemthing x

  5. I don't wear a lot of bright lipstick, but that pink shade is so gorgeous! I think I may need to try it out the next time I'm at the MAC counter. :) Your completed MAC palette is looking gorgeous! It's pretty much identical to mine, haha. You will not regret buying Club eyeshadow, by the way. It's one of my favourite MAC eyeshadows. Lovely on a night out. :)

  14. I love a MAC haul!
    I tried Please Me when I was buying my first lipstick but it seemed really pinky, but then on your swatches it looks much rosier, so I may indeed go and take another look at that!
    I am so desperate to start a Pro-palette but I am saving up to drive, and as everyone know niether driving or MAC comes cheap! So, I may ask for a Pro palette and some colours for my 17th! I will deffinatly ask for Vanilla, infact I would probably ask for all the colours in your palette! they're all the colours I use everyday, browns, creams and some slightly pinkier ones! I HAVE to have all that glitters and woodwinked!
    Ramble of a comment! sorry!

  15. Oh MAC- how it empties one's wallet! I have to control myself when I am in there and only buy one or two things at once else you'd spend about £100! I have only got 7 eyeshadows but as you said, you always want to fill up the palette... its funny, because I never think eyeshadows look that nice in the pan, but once they're on your eyes its a whole different story. And MAC just have so many!

  16. That lipstick is beautiful, lucky lucky you! And ooh a completed palette. I am so very jealous. Oh dear, this has made me pine for MAC terribly. The perils of living off a student budget...

  17. Good choice with club, it was recommended to me and I've been in love with it ever since! Apparently MUA do a really good dupe aswell

  18. I still haven't finished my MAC quad palette, oops! Very tempted to buy Club, it looks so pretty but I'd just never wear it hahaha! xx

  19. Oooh yeah, that's the danger with the palettes - I really want one because it'll be nice & tidy & rather than have lots of pots kicking around, they're all in one place. But noooo, it'll just make me spend gazILLIONS on Mac make-up... but it's too good! Aaargh. Inner turmoil.

  20. OMG! I am so jealous of your MAC palette. I sadly only own 4 MAC shadows (thankfully for my wallet my closest MAC store isn't so close) but I would love to get more. All these gorgeous neutral colours are right up my street! Naked Lunch and Woodwinked look AMAZING! I need these in my life... lol

    I have a blog sale going on at the mo jo if you fancy taking a nosy...

  21. I'm worried that if I start buying MAC makeup i'm not going to be able to stop (which seems to be everyone elses problem on here too...) Deffo going to invest in a couple of more lipsticks this year though. Think I'll give that LUSH lip scrub a bash too.
