MAC Haul!

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Everyone says it, but i cannot believe another year is over, i hope you all had a great 2011 though and wish you all the best for 2012! :)

Recently, i've had a slight MAC obsession, as you will see. Some of the products were gifts from christmas (the kits and the studio fix powder) but the rest i bought myself . Btw, i love the new black and white MAC bags they give you now, they're so posh! (Don't know if its just my MAC counter that has only just got these in or what? haha)

Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Left to right: Wintercool Face Kit, Viva Glam Lip Bag, Iced Delights Wintercool Lip Bag, MSF Natural, Rebel Lipstick, Spiked Eyebrow Pencil, Studio Sculpt Foundation, Studio Fix Powder

Wintercool Face Kit

I am so impressed with this kit! You get a lot for your money and they have all lived in my make-up bag since christmas and i've used them non-stop! In it you get Mocha blush, Phloof, Quarry, Brun and Dance in the dark eyeshadows, Hot Gossip lipstick, Emancipation lipglass and 3 brushes.

Swatches: Quarry eyeshadow, Phloof eyeshadow, Mocha Blush, Emancipation Lipglass, Hot Gossip Lipstick, Dance in the Dark eyeshadow, Brun eyeshadow.

I've heard that the quality of the brushes you get in kits tend to be not as good as if you buy the individual mac brushes. The brushes aren't amazing, but they do their bit, and i was more interested in the actual products. The one thing i hate about the brushes though, are the glittery handles in this collection, they look so tacky! I have been wearing Hot Gossip Lipstick non-stop and i love it, its such a pretty darkish pink colour. Its one of those colours i reach for when i don't want a nude or a really bright lipstick on, its kind of in the middle. Even without the brushes, you still get a lot for what you pay for.

Viva Glam Lip Bag.

I actually asked for this because i was terrified of running out of my pink lady gaga lipstick, its one of my favourite lipsticks ever! Its perfect for when i want a nude lip but a pop of colour. Its such a pretty pink. My old lady gaga lipstick still has some left, but as they don't sell it individually anymore, i think it would be best to get it while its there :) the other lady gaga lipstickis a very brown nude, that looks awful on me, but doesn't  look too bad with a pink based lipgloss over the top, i must just suit pinker nudes.

Iced Delights Wintercool Lip Bag

This is the perfect nude lip bag for me. I've been wanting Creme d'nude for ages. 

Its really pretty and although i won't use the lip liner that much, i will use the lipstick and gloss. The gloss is a cremesheen glass in Fashion Whim and the lip liner is called Stripdown.

 Swatches top to bottom: Stripdown Pencil, Fashion Whim Cremesheen Glass, Creme d'nude lipstick.

MSF Natural in Light, Rebel Lipstick, Spiked eyebrow pencil, Studio Sculpt Foundation, Studio Fix powder. I got the studio fix powder for christmas and its amazing! it doesn't last me on an 8 hour shift at work but i don't have a problem with reapplying throughout the day. The coverage is amazing and it takes away shine instantly though, i love it. The other i bought myself. I'm in love with Rebel Lipstick, its by far one of my favourite lipsticks ever. I only bought studio sculpt foundation a few days ago, but i love it already! I've had the MSF Natural before, but the colour was too dark for me so i only use that when i've fake tanned. This one is in light and its perfect for me. The other is the eyebrow pencil in Spiked. Its really good, it doesn't rub off on me and its a great colour for my eyebrows.

So that's my Mac Haul! Hope you enjoyed.

I hope you all had a great New Year! I'll probably post next weekend now, since i have lots of college work to do, then i'm back at college wednesday, and also have to go to work. 

Hope you're all okay!

Love Amy xx
