Duty Free MAC Haul
6:38:00 pm
While travelling to Scotland recently, walking through the airport duty free make up counters was the only treat. The bright lights and mini prices always lure me in home or abroad. The mua at every counter always seems to have more time to help you and really do make the experience a good one. I purchased from two counters and will post my purchases from each one seperately.
Mac was my first stop and thanks to the lovely make up artist helped me choose 2 lipsticks and one lipgloss. I have wanted to try Mac lip products for so long so when the chance came and at duty free prices, which worked out at 20% off I couldn't resist.
I indulged in Angel, one of their frost lipsticks, a beautiful pink. Hue (mainly because that was my grampa's name spelt Hugh though), a subtle nude with a more of a peachy undertone.
These two were brought to my attention by Maria Sparkle, her blog is one of my favourites, you can see why HERE.
Last but not least Ample Pink one of the fantastic plushglass lipglosses which leaves a slight (very slight) tingling sensation. The make up artist assured me that the lipgloss would work well with both lipsticks and she wasn't wrong. I love all three of these and Angel is fast becoming my 'go to' lipstick. The smell of both lipsticks and lipgloss is beautiful, the delicious scent of vanilla is the nicest iv smelled from a lipstick.

At the moment thats as far as my Mac collection goes, but this is where you guys come in, I need your help! Im 21 within a matter of weeks and my darling boyfriend is treating me to a make up lesson at the Mac shop in Birmingham along with a very exciting budget to buy what I want(excited). So what do I need girls and boys, is there any Mac products you could not live without, any lipsticks that you feel area staple in your make up collection?

Mac's eye shadows are out of this world- I was converted to mac nearly two years ago and would never go back!!! I know you'll be the same! Xx

ReplyDelete-Fix+, great for 'melting' your powder into your face so you dont look like you dipped your face in flour
-Any of their primers!, they are all so great
-217 brush, so amazing for blending eyeshadow
-I use Studio Sculpt foundation, I tride Studio Fix Fluid and it broke me out and oxidized like the devil.
-Blot Powder, seriously if you have oily skin you NEED this!
Happy early birthday, cant wait to see all the things you get!
OMG Fix + sounds amazing:) actually everything does!! I need the blot powder like yesterday wow :)

I love the Mac paint pots, they keep my eyeshadow on all day with no creasing whatsoever they blow UDPP out of the water with staying power. Also the fluidline is fab too its super easy to use and lasts all day.
