So this past weekend me and my friends paid a visit to the MAC Pro store in London and of course even with best intentions in mind, a small haul was made!
If you're not aware, the MAC Pro store is just off Carnaby street and if you were expecting a big store you will be disappointed, its tiny in there and gets very busy (Its not a pleasant shopping experience!)
So the reason we went to MAC Pro in the first place was for this blush in Taupe, which is a Pro exclusive. To cut a long story short, my best friends, hairdresser's, sister is a make up artist for the likes of Girls Aloud. She recommended Taupe as the best contour shade and one she uses all the time. So naturally we both had to get one!
You can see why its perfect for contouring, being more grey toned its much more subtle and buildable. No orange cheek stripes here!
To prove I went with good intentions in mind, I took a bag of 6 items to Back to MAC (If you take back 6 empty MAC containers to a MAC store, you get an eyeshadow or lipstick for free!)
So I got Girl About Town lipstick. This has been on my list for a while but seeing as I recently picked up Nars Schiap and MAC Show Orchid, I didn't really need another bright pink lipstick straight away but as it was free I couldn't say no!
This is a gorgeous bright but slightly darker pink shade. My other best friend who came with us picked this up first and we both fell in love, so again we ended up getting two!
Magenta Lip Liner was another item I had on my list but never quite got round to picking up. I have been wearing and absolutely loving MAC's Violetta lipstick lately. In fact I wore it for my work Christmas party, I might recreate the make up and put some pics on here. Violetta is a gorgeous purple but I didn't have a lip liner that went with it and being such a bright colour I really wanted one. As I was browsing the lipsticks I saw this out of the corner of my eye and shrieked! Again my friend (who is also a Violetta fan) fell in love too and again we picked up two!
This was a complete impulse purchase, we were trying out all the blushes and again me and my friend both fell in love with Something Sweet and to continue the running trend we picked up two again! I really really love this colour, its the perfect neutral peachy colour and the newly formulated cream blend blushes are so much nicer then the old cream blushes, which were horrible and sticky. These aren't sticky at all, in fact out of everything this is probably my favourite thing I picked up! Highly, highly recommended.
