MAC Haulage!!

This post must carry a warning!! The pics are of insanely bad quality, the result of having no camera this week and having to make do with my phone camera!

Over the past couple of weeks I have picked up a few things at Mac, both while I was in London and at home.

First up are my Mac blushes. I picked up Dollymix and Ambering Rose. Dollymix on the right is a bright candy pink and Ambering Rose is pretty much what it says on the tin, its a lovely warm Amber Rose.I even got some (crap) swatches
So far the ambering rose has become a bit of a staple for me but I think it suits an autumnul look so it might be pushed to the side to make way for more summery hues.

Next up is eyeshadows. I picked up Graphology, Beauty Marked, Mulch and Soba. Graphology is a matt dark purplish grey shadow and has great pigment. Beauty Marked is a velvet shadow and is a gorgeous colour in the palette, dark purplish red with a glitter effect throughout, I don't rate the pigmentation too much though. Another velvet shadow Mulch is a golden browny bronzy colour and Soba which is a satin is a pale golden brown. So far I have gotten good use of soba and used Mulch for the first time yesterday with All That Glitters, this is a great combo and also recommended by Hele.
Next up is another Hele recommendation. I had decided to bodyswerve the Sugarsweet MSF's until Hele mentioned that she thought I would like refined and should buy it. I did try and resist but being the weak spendaholic I am, I caved in and bought it. And the verdict ..... I love it!! I have been wearing it most days and on nights out I have been really plastering it on for that Barbie sheen effect! Thanks Hele!!Now onto my fave purchases, the lippies!! woo! (from left to right; Lollipop Loving, Impassioned, Lady Danger, Red Russian)

So from the sugarsweet collection I picked up Lollipop Loving. There is a lot of hype around this lipstick and I thought I would love it as it is a light coral colour with gold and green reflex but alas I just don't think this colour is for me. I feel like my mum when I wear it yet it looks so gorgeous on other girls.
Impassioned is from the Colour Ready collection and is described as an amped- fuschia! It certainly is amped-up, its an amazing colour and a real statement lippy. Its not for the faint hearted at all. I imagine it would look great with a tan.
This next lipstick I had wanted for an absolute age! Lady Danger - a bright coral red. I love red lips and usually wear with a clean winged liquid liner. I would wear this look dressed up or casual with leggings and a cool t-shirt, in fact I did last week and it looked great! I seem to suit orangey reds better than bluey reds. (I look like i'm doing an Elvis impersonation with my lip here, lol!!) Last lipstick is Russian Red. Originally i couldn't choose between Lady Danger and Russian Red. Having decided on the Lady Danger, a week later I had to go and pick up RR! This is more of a blue-red and is a lot deeper than the above. This would be suited to a much more formal look in my opinion. I have also been mixing it up with Lady Danger which gives a great effect too.
So there is the bulk of my mac haul. Hope you liked it!
