MAC Haul!!

It would've been rude not to do a bit of shopping when I was in London last week......right?! Especially after completing 'frugal February', I was so ready to make some purchases and where better to start than the MAC counter in Selfridges.


So what goodies did I get?!....

Kissable Lipcolour in Enchantee
Lipstick in Speed Dial
Paint Pot in Painterly
Fluidline in Added Goodness
Studio Fix Fluid in NW15 - Yes I am that pale!! :)
Blot Powder / Pressed in Medium Dark - This is the shade that was recommended to me...being an NW15 I'm kinda wary about it
Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
 
I'm so excited to start using these!!

And I'm not finished with MAC just yet...I NEED Viva Glam Nicki in my life!!

I also popped to the Urban Decay counter in Debenhams. I love my Super Saturated high gloss lip colour so much (review here) that I wanted to have a look at the other colours and ended up with Lovechild, one of the more recent colour additions.

Think I got the spending bug out of my system...for now ;)

Benefit Fawn Over Me Eye Shadow

I'm pretty predictable when it comes to eye make up....nude, neutral, naked palette....  I reach for quick and easy colours for daytime and alot of the time just darker nude and neutral colours for nights out.  So it's obvious why this colour appealed to me.



Fawn over me is a powder eyeshadow in a light golden beige colour with a shimmer finish. The eyeshadow almost has a creamy feel to it and bleands really well (with my various other neutral shades anyway).  It's a  lovely colour to use as a base, I have tested it without a primer and it didnt crease although i did feel it lost alot of its colour throughout the day so I recommend using a good primer or paint pot first.



Fawn Over Me is right up my street and I've been using it alot recently either on its own or with my naked palette. Benefit velvet eyeshadows are available at Benefit counters nationwide and online priced at £13.50

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Chance

I've been lusting over Chanel Coco Shines for some months now and have finally bought one!!  Chanel packaging is always so simple yet so elegant. I love having this lipstick in my make up bag and not only for its appearance.


Being a bit of a pink addict, I went for the colour Chance which is a cool pale pink, very girly!  On application, the sheer pale pink colour is light and can be built up for a more intense pink.  After a few hours wear the pale pink and shine disappear but I find my lips are left with a deeper pink stain.



I think these are great in all seasons, in summer because the colour is sheer and natural and in the winter months for the lovely hydrating qualities. There's also a wide range of colours available so you could choose a different one for each season!  Overall I'm a little bit obsessed, I've almost forgotten about all of my other lipsticks these past few weeks!! Need to mix it up....
