So i turned 18 the other week and was very kindly treated to some vouchers for some of my favorite stores Mac & Debenhams, so this week i thought i would go out and treat myself to some new make-up goodies!
My first stop was to the Mac store, my Mac store is quite small but the staff were very helpful and helped me pick out some lovely items , including choosing the right foundation for me as well as giving me a nice little makeover. So here's what i picked up ...
Mineralize Concealer (£17)- After applying my foundation i asked the assistant what concealer she would recommend and she suggested the matching concealer to the foundation, so she tested it on my face and like the foundation is was very light and worked very well as a highlighter and really made the applied areas brighter and you only need a tiny bit of it and in this i was shade NW15.
Rebel Lipstick (£15.50)- Now i have wanted to get this lipstick for a long time after seeing beauty gurus like Tanya Burr talk about it, i think it is a great way to get a vampy lip without it being 'too much' and i think i will get the most wear out of it in the Autumn/ Winter months.
All That Glitters Eye Shadow (£10/13) - With some vouchers that i received at christmas i was able to but myself one of the 4 pan palettes, i currently have the Bronze eyeshadow in the palette but wanted to continue to fill the palette. I have been looking at All That Glitters for a while after seeing many bloggers and youtubers talk about it and when i tested it in the store it was a lovely neutral/shimmery shade. I think it is a good idea to buy the palettes as they look really nice especially the new ones plus you save £3 when you just buy the eyeshadow in the pan rather than in the plastic pot.
Pro Longwear Blush in Rosey Outlook (£20)- Whilst the girl was doing my makeup she applied a bit of blusher to finish off the foundation and i really loved the way it looked on my skin , so i asked her which blush it was and she got it out for me i haven't heard of this shade before but it is a lovely soft baby pink colour that looks very natural on the cheeks.
Prep + Prime Skin Base Sample (Usually £21)- Before applying my foundation the girl applied a little bit of primer onto my face which is something i don't usually bother with, but after seeing how how my foundation stayed on for during the day (plus the weather was really warm) i will defiantly start trying out primers and it was lovely of her to give me a sample to try out at home.And with this you only need a pea sized amount to cover the face , so i am sure this sample will last me a while and give me a good idea if i would want to purchase the full size version in the future.
So that is all of the goodies that i got from my Mac visit, i was so grateful that my friends got me the voucher because i would never go into MAC and have a splurge as even though there products are top quality there are a lot of good drugstore dupes out there, but it is nice to have some luxurious makeup items in my makeup bag :). I am off to the states next week and have already got a long list of items that i want to have a nosey at so if you know any items that you think i should pick up whilst i'm there please write them in the comments!
