Mini Mac Haul

It was my payday the other week, and since I've left school I've been working a lot more than I used to, so I thought I would treat myself with all of the money I've been making. Obviously a mini Mac haul was the only way I wanted to treat myself, so I just decided to make a little post to show everyone what I bought myself.

Studio Fix Fluid

Swatches of Soar lipliner,Velvet Teddy and Cyber

Studio Fix Fluid
I've only heard good things about Mac foundations and how they always give such a good full coverage. I nought the shade NC15 which, surprise surprise is the palest shade they make, and the colour matches my skin perfectly and gives me a glow.  Although I love this foundation as it perfectly covers all my spots and uneven patches on my skin, I find it quite hard to apply as it can be very time consuming to blend it into the skin and it can leave slight patches on the skin if it's not applied properly.  I've only tried it out two or three times so I will have to try it again before I decide whether to keep using it or not.

"Velvet Teddy" Lipstick
The Velvet Teddy Lipstick is a classic that I have seen and heard about on every blog or youtube channel I've looked at and it is always the first shade to be sold out on the Mac website. However on my pay day it happened to be in stock and I decided it was meant to be, so bought it to see if it could live up to the hype. Its a dark nude shade and it doesn't look as though it would suit someone as pale a me but I was surprised by how much I love the shade and it suits me. It's also a matte shade which means that it really could be worn everyday and it would work with a lot of outfits easily.

"Cyber" Lipstick
I've actually had this lipstick for a long time now but it's from Mac so decided to add this into this Mac post. This lipstick is a very dark shade of plum which has slight red undertones to it. It's such a gorgeous dark colour, however I would say that I've found it quite hard to apply the colour evenly across the whole of my lips and there after often areas of my lips that pick up more of the colour than others leaving them looking quite patchy.

"Soar" Lipliner
This lipliner has become known as the shade that Kylie Jenner always uses for her matte nude lips, and I decided to try it out as she always looks amazing wearing it and it's such a good make-up look on Kylie. It's a creamy lipliner in a light purple/ nude shade that can be worn as just a lipliner with a lipstick, however it can also be worn on it's own and be used to colour the whole lip in. This shade is so beautiful and I can't wait to be able to wear this all the time in Autumn.

Make-up Favourites

Recently I've been experimenting with buying many different brands/ items of make-up to try and find what works best for me and whether I could ever find any perfect products. I've found some amazing new products recently so I thought I would make a list of a few make-up products that I don't think I could live without.

My favourite make-up items

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer
I've been searching for a new primer recently as I previously used LOreal Studio Secrets which is around £14 a tub, so I've been looking around for primers that are a bit more affordable. The Instant Pore Eraser primer is very lightweight, it smooths out all of my pores without feeling like its clogging my skin and it's more affordable as it is only £6/7 for a tube.

LOreal True Match Foundation
I think this is the best foundation I've ever used! It covers everything on my face and hides all of my flaws whilst giving my face a bright glow. It is a medium to full coverage which i prefer, however I could see why many people would not want this in a foundation. I use my Real Techniques make-up sponge to apply the foundation and it leaves my skin perfectly smooth and it lasts all day.

Sleek Full Fat Lash Mascara
Sleek is quickly becoming one of my favourite make-up brands. This brand is so affordable yet they easily have some of the best make-up that I've found. My lashes have never looked as long and full as when I use this mascara and people are always asking me which mascara I use. Its easy to apply and gives my lashes so much length and volume.

Bourjois Rouge Editon Velvet Lipstick- Nud-ist
I'd never tried a liquid lipstick before so I thought I would take a risk and buy one to give it a try. I chose this dark pink/ nude as it looked like the shade that could be the most wearable day to day. This lipstick is amazing, it applies as a liquid but quickly dries to a matte finish which will hold on you lips all day without fading. The shade of this is so gorgeous as it is slightly darker than a typical nude colour.

Bourjois Blush Pot- Rose De jaspe
This is such a cute blusher for people like me with pale skin! Its a lovely pale rose pink colour, that works perfectly for me as I'm so pale I'm basically a ghost (I also like the packaging because I'm weird like that and the bow is so cute.)

Seventeen Brow's That! Brow Kit
My eyebrows are easily my favourite part of my make-up to do, and when they look good they are my favourite feature. The Seventeen Brow's That! eyebrow kit contains an eyebrow pencil, wax, setting powder and a highlight which I use to outline, fill and set my brows, however the highlight is a bit too glittery for my brow bone highlight, so its not used that much.
