MAC Haul!

Hey guys!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend... I am spending it relaxing in the mountains, by the fire with my boyfriend :)

So anyways, here is a recent haul of things I bought the day after Christmas at MAC! Unfortunately, I have an awful weakness for that place... I went in determined to buy solely my Studio Fix Powder and Concealer (complete staples of mine) and ended up with this... I feel like a horrible person.

HOWEVER.. The Pressed Pigments are back in stock!! My store has been sold out for weeks.  I picked up just one to make sure I liked it first.. and I am in love. I'm planning on picking up a few more soon.. which will probably be the next time I make it to the store. Probably tomorrow... Haha!

Here's what I picked up!

MAC Powder Blushes in Dame (Right) and Springsheen (Left)

I absolutely love these blushes.  They are silky, highly pigmented, and easy to apply and blend.  So far, I've been using Dame a lot more because of winter.. I think once my skin warms up in the Summer, Springsheen will be a lot more flattering.  It's much more coral than I had expected.. I just kind of randomly picked two that I liked. Dame, however, is the perfect pink blush.  Overall.. I'm really happy with both of them.

MAC Single Eyeshadows in Freshwater, Nylon, Mythology, and Pressed Pigment in Blonde Streak (From left to right).  These are just your typical shadows, very pigmented, and shimmery.  I got the three shadows to do a version of Michelle Phan's Midnight Luster eye look for New Year's Eve, and they did the trick perfectly!! The Pressed Pigment is wonderful as well.  It's a little less soft compared to the eyeshadows, but to me, that was to be expected.  The color payoff is amazing.  I really like it for the inner corner of my eye.

MAC Lipstick in (From left) Brave (Satin Finish) and Syrup (Lustre Finish).

I was looking for a nude/pink type of color and found it in both of these. I originally, in the store, thought they were really different, but upon trying them on at home, found them to be actually pretty similar.  They are both fabulous colors and I can see myself using and wearing both of them, but I think if I could go back, I would have just picked the one.  Syrup is slightly more purple in color, and actually looks like a light purple/taupe color if you take a quick glance at it.  When you swatch it, though, it turns out to be that great nude/pink combo color I was looking for.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!

XOXO
