Mac Haul

Every so often its nice to indulge a little and since a couple of weeks ago I got my University exam results for second year and they turned out to be a lot better than I expected (thank goodness) I thought what better way to celebrate than treat myself to a few MAC goodies. 

Although I love MAC makeup I've only just started collecting bits and pieces every now and again - student budgets aren't exactly the biggest! However everyone, their mother and their cat I'm pretty sure raves about MAC's mineralize skin finish in Soft & Gentle, thee perfect highlighter and for whatever crazy reason I hadn't actually got round to purchasing it until now - shock horror and when the package arrived I was over the moon and ever so excited to try it out! 

A lot of mac products have been given a revamp lately (well they're packaging has) and this was in the newer style, its a bit odd not having the traditional packaging as this doesn't have a clasp - a little annoying if you're in a rush and trying to open things but nothing much can be done about that. I'm pretty sure this will keep me going for years with the products dome shape holding a heck of a lot of highlight. I'm pretty sure everyone has seen swatches or read about a billion reviews about the MSF so I'll not keep rambling, this is more of a haul than a review but who knows in the future I might post one, keep your eyes open! What else can I say, ts just the most gorgeous shimmery colour and superbly pigmented, love at first swatch basically. 

Way back I also purchased a quad and since then had forgot that I only had one eyeshadow sitting in it all on its lonesome and decided it was time to purchase a friend for it. I love neutral shades and it was a no brainer that I wanted to add All That Glitters, an all time favourite of practically everyone to my collection. When I was taking the photos of these two I actually realised that the eyeshadow is very similar in colour to Soft & Gentle just less highlightery of course!

P.s what mac products are well loved or a must have in your collection? 

Mac Mini Haul;

Before I went on holiday I decided to make a cheeky purchase at MAC, no one can resist! In fact I'm pretty sure I bought the items just because it was free shipping aka an excuse to buy something. Since joining the blogging world everybody and their cat owns a MAC palette or is in the process of creating one and as I didn't think I would have patience for a 15 pan palette I decided I'd give a 4 pan palette a whirl instead - just to get me started :)

This haul literally is 'mini', I only bought three items, one lipstick, the x4 palette and an eyeshadow to start off my collection. As all MAC products are drool worthy I found it hard to restrain myself and narrow down my selection to just a few things, in the end I picked up 'Nylon', a beautiful colour well known for being an inner eye highlight. My eyes never look too awake in the morning (neither do anyone's really) and so I'm hoping this'll change that, no more zombie eyes for me. If I'm honest I'm just really excited to start filling up my palette - this was my first MAC eyeshadow and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. 

Lastly on a whim I picked up a lipstick from MAC, again something that previously hasn't been in my collection - its just so hard to justify so much money on one lipstick when I rarely stick to one and end up buying so many others to alternate with. The shade I picked up was 'Hot Tahiti', not an overly popular shade but not one that no ones heard of - a lovely in between. The colour itself is unlike any in my collection and I really can't wait to wear it soon.... lets be serious I'll probably have a review up in no time ;) Anyway that was my mini haul, sorry I'm only getting round to posting it now :) I hope you all enjoyed it!
