Where I go to school, we don't have a MAC store or counter nearby. This breaks my heart every day. Thankfully, MAC has an online store that has become my only link to my longtime obsession. I recently got an email that MAC was having a free two day shipping offer and I jumped at the opportunity to pick up a couple of things I've been lusting after for a while. I received them yesterday and immediately took photos for a blog post while they were still fresh and clean in their packaging.

| MAC Paint Pot in 'Bare Study' |
This Paint Pot in 'Bare Study' has been a favorite among beauty gurus for a while. I've seen countless swatches online and make up looks using it and decided that it was something that I needed for my collection. I already love the MAC Paint Pots but I only have 'Soft Ochre', so I wanted one that I could use for more than just an eye shadow base. What I've heard about this Paint Pot is that it's a really great product to just swipe on the eyes and go. It's a beautiful, peachy, champagne shade that adds a really subtle sheen to the eye.

| MAC Lipstick in 'Kinda Sexy' |
I'm typically very picky about lipsticks, especially neutral shades. I have a really hard time finding a neutral, every day shade since most are too light, too nude, or to pink. I have pretty pigmented lips so most nude shades look really weird on me. I've found some good neutral lip shades like MAC 'Shy Girl' and NARS 'Barbarella', but I wanted something a little bit more dusty rather than peachy. I recently saw some beauty gurus rave about 'Kinda Sexy' and after looking at some more swatches online, I decided to give it a try. I purchased this thinking I'd most likely return it, since I'm so picky. But as soon as I swiped it on my lips, I fell in love. It's a matte lipstick, but surprisingly, it isn't drying. It's a neutral, dusty rose shade that is basically a "my-lips-but-better" kind of shade. It's a good change of pace from my usual peachy, coral lip. I wore this in my most recent 'Outfit & Face of the Day' post.

I love their products, especially their powder foundation
ReplyDeletehowever when it comes to their lipsticks I think that they don't last very long when they're put on, so I stopped buying them:/
yours has a really pretty color though:)

Yeah, I know what you mean! I definitely feel like their lipsticks slip and slide on me sometimes. But whenever I wear them with a lip liner, it usually has better staying power!

Great products! I've been wanting to try the paint pot in Soft Ocre, because Kandee Johnson ALWAYS uses it in her tutorials! lol I really like the one you swatched, it's nice a shimmery :)

It's a really great eye shadow base if you have yellow undertones! I think you should give 'Soft Ochre' a try! It's such a staple in my collection.

I love the nail polish you have on, so beautiful. About MAC, here it's very expensive, I hope soon I will be able to afford it.
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cool blog here. Do you want to follow each other, I would love that.
