mac took my money..

I popped into Mac the other day and picked up some bits and bobs. I was pretty good and didn't end up going overboard this time. I usually end up spending close to £100 most times I go in there, madness! I'm trying to spend less on make up for the next few months and just get basic/staple eyeshadows & lipsticks etc. 


Shadestick in Beige-ing

I love wearing this alone on my eyelids. It draws attention to my eyes without being noticeable so it is really nice to wear with natural make up or a base for brown eyeshadows. It is so frosty but slightly warm toned.





Lipstick in Please Me

I'd describe this as a 'dirty pink' if you get what I mean. It is a gorgeous pink that is slightly grey looking. I really like this as an everyday lip colour as it isn't as bright as my usual St Germain. It would look really good on most people as a lipstick to wear to work, especially if you have brown hair and olive skin like me.

Eye shadows in Satin Taupe (left) and Blanc Type (right)

I bought these eyeshadows because I thought they would look great for everyday make up, again. I have wanted them both for ages, too. Blanc Type makes a great highlight and it also works great as a base for brown eyeshadows. Satin Taupe is a lovely frosty silvery brown, and not orange looking like quite a lot of brown eyeshadows can look like.
