Around Christmas I'm not a fan of ordering everyone's presents online I love going out, buying things in person and managing to soak up the Christmas atmosphere at the same time. A few weeks ago Debenhams had a little reduction on all their beauty and fragrance products and I'd finally had enough of my half empty quad (easy to do) so I made an order to complete it but of course no MAC order is that simple so a few extra things may have landed in my basket and when it arrived yesterday I knew I'd have to show you all as soon as possible!
I already had a quad with two shadows in it but everytime I went to buy another I got distracted by other beautiful MAC products and forgot - therefore before Christmas I knew I'd have to finish it off, opting for Cork and Woodwinked - two very popular shades and for good reason. I don't want to go into too much detail but I'll be doing a post on my finished quad with swatches soon so keep an eye out for that post ;) For ages now I've also been reading blogs / watching youtube videos and the two that appears everywhere is that of MAC Omega and Charcoal Brown so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and ordered an empty duo palette to fill.
This may seem a bit of an odd one but I haven't any sharpeners for my lipliner and I'm definitely not going to use my eyeliner one so I decided to pick up this little one which looks so cute and will probably be used to death. There was a sample of MAC's zoom fast black lash included as well and surprisingly I haven't heard all that much about their mascaras so I'm eager to try this out too! The last two things I bought and probably my favourites are two lipsticks: Russian Red because I have zero red lipsticks in my collection (well apart from an orange-red but that doesn't count) and red always comes in handy around the Christmas months when you want a simple but traditional makeup look.
Also I opted for Please Me, a stunning pink which I'll be able to wear everyday, it's not too pale that makes me look washed out so it's a winner. The two of these lipsticks are matte but as you know I quite like matte and they have the typical MAC vanilla scent so I'm in love with them already. I'll probably review them in a few weeks as well once I've used them enough so keep checking back ;) It may not seem like a massive haul but my bank balance would have to disagree, I hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reading, Jenny xo

Can't wait to see your reviews of the eyeshadows! I'm getting a Mac quad for Christmas, I managed to hint to everyone to buy me an eyeshadow for Christmas so hopefully I'll end up with four! x
