MAC Haul (Posh Paradise Collection and Randoms!)

I was bad in October! I have been meaning to post these hauls for a while now but got side tracked with sparkly nail varnish and Ed Sheeran Lego House. How much do you love that video? I have it on whilst I'm typing this, how adorable is Rupert Grint....anyway onto the first of the hauls!



MAC In Anticipation Pro Longwear Lip Pencil - I think this could be from the Style Driven collection? I could be completely wrong though, MAC did have about 4 collections going on at once! A lovely bright pink colour and very long wearing, as the name suggests.



MAC Immortal Gold Nail Polish - From the Posh Paradise collection (told you there were a few collections floating around at once!).  I picked this up at the airport on the way back from my holiday with my last few euros! This looks gorgeous in the bottle, like a golden version of olive oil. On the nails I don't love it though. You can see every brush stroke and it definitely looked better when I had a bit of a tan going on. Although, staring at these pictures now is making me want to give it another go!



MAC Summer Stash Pigments - Kinda random in the middle of winter but anywho! These are from the summer collection, Surf Baby. Little tip for you, Debenhams website sells MAC make up and they tend to have a lot of old collection stuff floating around on there, stuff that's long gone from the MAC website and store. Last time I looked they had still had some Surf Baby items, Semi Precious, Wonder Woman and the Jeans/Denim collection. 
I think I only own one MAC pigment now as I sold the rest. I just find them a bit messy and I'm never going to get through one of those pots and the thought of that really annoys me! But I thought I would give these a trial as the colours are beautiful and you get just the right amount of each pigment. These pigments aren't as finely milled so you do need to be a bit careful with them, but they are definitely worth it!


 


MAC Show Orchid Lipstick - I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS LIPSTICK AND I FEEL THE USE OF CAPS LOCK TO REPRESENT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

I REALLY LOVE IT AND HAVE BEEN WEARING IT AT ANY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY!





An example of one of the opportunites...(Just before bed, hence the smudged makeup!) This was released with the Posh Paradise collection but is permanent at MAC Pro. I also saw this at the airport and my friend was like "You have to get it!" but my euros would only stretch to the paint pot and nail polish so I left it but I could not get it out my head! (I am sad like that) and the next day I headed to MAC to buy it! I really can't recommend this highly enough, this is possibly my favourite ever lipstick!


MAC Genuine Treasure Paint Pot - This is the other item I picked up at the airport and like Show Orchid I cannot get enough of it! You can already see its got quite a dent in it! This is also from the Posh Paradise collection, which I have to say had a lovely mix of beautiful colours which fitted the theme perfectly, it all seemed very well thought out. Thumbs up MAC! I have seen some bad reviews on this paint pot and it made me a little bit defensive! Its a gorgeous golden glittery cream. When you blend it out it gives a lovely golden wash of colour. Now this isn't opaque and with the glitter and sheen it kind of gives you that lived in look. The only thing I can think to describe it to, is the effect you get if you put Vaseline over your eyeshadow, that greasy rocker look. I love the look of lived in make up so I adore this. My favourite paint pot yet!




MAC Hush Cream Colour Base - I used up my cream colour base in shell and decided I wanted to try a new shade. This is a lovely peachy colour, more subtle then shell but gives a lovely glow to the skin.



MAC Improper Copper Cream Colour Base - If you have olive skin or just a tan I can't recommend this enough! This is the most gorgeous highlighter on tanned skin. The name describes the colour perfectly and I will be slapping this on until my tan fades :(
