Small Mac Haul ♥


Sorry for all the haulin' posts.
I was driving past my CCO this morning and they stock up on a thursday night...how could i resist fully replenished shelfs of Mac goodies?

I told myself - 'Lauren...restrain yourself and only buy one thing'
Well, that didnt work. They had oodles of new products lined up looking pretty and just waiting to be baught (:

The first thing i spotted was the Vintage Grape blush ombre. I wasnt sure weather to pick it up or not as it looks a bit too purple but there was only a few left so i thaught i'd give it a try. Its actually not as dark as it looks when on the skin. Its more like a candy pink with slight purple undertones. No bruised look though!
£13.50

I was then ready to go and pay...


... but to my left i spotted this beauty - Macs Mineralize skinfinnish in Warm Blend. I'm a sucker for MSF's. I have far too many but only own two other bronzey shades. Its a bit strong for my pale skin but the lovely woman at my CCO suggested to use a fan brush and brush it on lightly. It can also double as a pretty neutral eyeshadow.
£ 13.50


Keeping in with the bronzey/golden theme i then picked up Enough Said beauty powder blush. Its a gorgeous tan, peachy brown colour with gold shot through it. Its so pretty on and i have nothing like this in my collection.
£10

& lastly i got a Lipglass in Ember Glow. i'm all over coral lips at the moment and when i swatched this i fell in love. Its actually quite opaque and with two coats it could be quite a pop of intense colour. I dont have many mac lipglosses (...maybe about 4?) as i dont really care for them, but this one is a definate exception. Gorgeous!
£8.50

Swatches:
(terrible lighting, sorry!)
So there you go, probably my last haul from mac for a couple of weeks or so, I'm trying to branch out on other brands and i really want to try some more Cargo stuff. I'm also going to try my best not to spend money as i'm trying my very best to save up for a Mulberry Roxanne!
