MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Lightscapade

 I didn't think this would work for me, but it's so gorgeous I still had to have it. I was so surprised that it actually did end up working for me, putting to rest the myth that it's only for lighter skin-tones. 
 I showed it to my sister and she loved it so much without even having swatched it first that she bought it less than an hour later. She is NC30 and on her it pulls pink opal. She wore it today on the inner corners of her eyes and on cheekbones - it looked so gorgeous!  On my NC40 skin it pulls more champagne. Wearing it below over Sephora Microsmooth Blush in Tea Rose Tickle.

MAC Hey, Sailor! Haul

 Hey everyone! I attended MAC's Hey, Sailor! event today and here's what I got. I really wanted the 2 blushes as well as Crew but none of them worked for my skin tone. I ended up getting: Red Racer (of course), Jaunty e/s, and Sun Dipped Pro Longwear bronzer (this one's for my lucky sister). After swatching Red Racer at home and under normal lights (MAC didn't have its' usual bright lights pointed to the makeup to make it look magical), I realized I should have gotten a backup. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait till the 24th when it "comes out" so I can get more. It's the perfect Sonia red. Jaunty is a absolutely gorgeous pale pearly gold.

I thought of NARS Cyprus as soon as I opened this up at home but luckly it's not a dupe.

Red Racer, my new tattoo (;P), Cyprus, and Jaunty.

MAC Cherry Lip Liner

      Cherry is bright and perfect for Ruby Woo, Russian Red, or any other blue, orange, or neutral bright red. For a more brownish red or a brick red I recommend MAC Brick (matches Viva Glam I perfectly). I wore Cherry today with Brave Red and it suited it perfectly. It stays in place in my experience and doesn't bleed.

Love,

MAC Brave Red

                                 Brave Red (Cremesheen) is a long lasting and opaque neutral red with a creamy finish. Has a tad bit of shimmer to it which is not noticeable at all once applied.

My top ten favorite MAC shadows

Hi everyone! I love, love, love MAC's neutral shadows. I like my looks simple, do not like wearing a ton of different shadows just not my thing, 3-4 max (4th one being a black shadow to line my eyes so that might not count). What I love about MAC is that their neutrals are great for the fuss free looks I like so much, especially with their great duochromes.

My top ten are:

1) Patina- Antique gold with pink duochrome

2) Vex- Light greyish beige with pink duochrome

3) Vapour- Light pink with blue and violet duochrome

4) Ricepaper- Light golden champagne

5) Crystal Avalanche- Shimmery pure white

6) Brule- Nude (satin finish)

7) Soba- Golden brown with pink shimmer

8) Retrospeck- Champagne with silver microglitter

9) Naked Lunch- Light neutral shimmery pink

10) All that glitters- Shimmery peachy pink

Same order as above

MAC Honour

LOVE how MAC packs their products.

Blush in Honour (frost). This is more of a neutral highlighter than a blush. This is a must for my NC40 (and up) sistahs. 

Thanks for looking! :)
