Mini Mac Haul!


On the look out for a new coat to keep me warm in this freezing weather I went shopping today. I'm not really a sale shopper, I hate the jumble sale look of the shops and my brain just switches off with all the chaos but I was hoping to find a good bargain in somewhere like Reiss. Unfortunately I came home empty handed.

After a few hours traipsing round and several gingerbread lattes later I decided to put a smile on my face and go to Mac. I got a few goodies which I'm happy about but again was a little disappointed because about half of the stuff I wanted was sold out or had been discontinued!

Anyway heres what I picked up:

Lipstick in Snob, Slimshine in Long Stem Rose and a Paint tube in Bare Canvas.


Blush powder in Dame and an eyeshadow in Naked Lunch.


Swatches

On the far left is Dame blush powder which is a peachy pink, I originally went in to get Well Dressed after seeing it on fellow blogger Lollipop26 but I was told by my MA it had been discontinued. Just checked on the net and you can still buy it online.

Below Dame is Naked Lunch, I love this eyeshadow and I can't believe I never bought it before. It's a really light baby pink frost, it looks almost soft gold on my hand.

Snob is in the middle, this colour looks gorgeous on, I bought it for my friend for Christmas and after seeing it on her I had to have it. It's a really girly bright mauvey pink!

The furthest right is Long Stem Rose which is a slimshine lipstick, I really like these and have a couple more, they are moisturing on the lips and add gloss. This is a soft baby pink on the lips with a hint of shimmer.

Hey holly..what do you think of bare canvas? I have it in the paint pot..still a little undecided about it yet though! I've stayed off MAC so far this Christmas but there's an outlet store on that sells MAC, Bobbi Brown etc on the way to college so might have to pop in there when I'm back in next week. Byebye bank account!!

omg Well Dressed has been discontinued? This is my HG blush and in the UK it can still be bought online and not in the 'goodbye' section or anything. I hope it sticks around online or i'm gonna have to consider buying backups =( xox
