MAC Haul

During my recent MAC shopping venture, I decided to focus on things that I REALLY needed and less on things that looked fun and different.  I stayed away from the Limited Edition collections because it's really easy to get sucked in and if you're shopping on a budget it's better to get the staples and save the extras for when you have a little extra cash.  So this time I picked up a well rounded variety of essentials; some of which were repurchases and some were totally new to me.

The Eyeshadows:  $11.50 (Pan) $15.00 (Compact)

Shadowy Lady

Satin Taupe

Shroom

These shadows have been on my wishlist because they are great basic shades that are great for a variety of looks.  Shadowy Lady is great for creating a smoky plum eye look and Shroom is an amazing highlight color.




Studio Finish Concealer - $17.00

NW30

NW30

I've been in need of a new face concealer and this one came highly recommended.  I really liked the texture when I swatched it and the price was nice too.

Fluidline - $15.00

Waveline

I already own a couple of the fluidline eyeliners but I REALLY wanted this blue.  I love to create smoky blue eyes and this really helps blend and smoke out my favorite blue eyeshadow, Contrast.

Paint Pot - $17.50

Painterly

I wanted a good eyeshadow base and this was very close to my skin tone.  It is NOT a primer, but it does help eyeshadow adhere to the lid and makes the shadow more intense.

False Lashes Extreme Black - $19.00

Again, never tried this before but I've heard about it from other beauty bloggers so I decided to give it a shot.  ALREADY loving this formula!


Brow Pencil - $15.00

Lingering

THIS is my repurchase.  I think this is the 9th or 10th one I've bought.  It's the ONLY eyebrow pencil for me.  The formula is great, it lasts a long time and it doesn't melt off in the heat.  THE BEST!


Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation - $33.00

No. 2

This foundation is the third MAC foundation I've tried and I'm hoping that this is THE ONE.  Many of MACs foundations leave a dry, chalky appearance on my skin and one formula changes color on me.  I'll keep you posted on the results.
