MAC Haul

The other day I went to the mall with my husband and son. He said he wanted to get me some mothers day presents, so of course i was super excited. I mostly bought clothes from forever21. Then he said he was going to take Nicolas down to the play area and he left me alone to shop for whatever I wanted. I totally took advantage of this and bought some clothes and then since MAC was right in front of the forever21 store i bought some MAC makeup. I had never tried MAC makeup before except for a nail polish. So when i went in there, i had no idea what i wanted to get exactly. Then i saw the foundation powders and I saw the mineralized skinfinish powder and i thought i should definitely get this. Ive heard some great things about this powder from YouTube beauty gurus. I bought one, the lady in the store told me which shade would suit me better, it was the shade medium dark.

Shade: Medium Dark

Then i looked around for some concealers. I have really bad under eye circles and the concealers i have don't really work that great. They cover most of it but i always have to go back and apply more after. So i bought the studio finish concealer with SPF 35 in NW25. The lady showed me which shade would work better for me. They were both really nice and helpful.

Shade: NW 25

I went home with my new loot. The next day I used my foundation and concealer for the first time and they were amazing! I love the skinfinish powder because it is very sheer, it doesn't look cakey at all or like your wearing a ton of powder. It gives you a natural look instead. I also love that its made with minerals because that is better for your skin as a whole. The concealer worked very well at covering up my dark circles. I didn't even need to apply it a second time. My eyes looked fresh and there were no dark circles i sight. I love that the concealer has SPF 35, It was very surprising that it was so high since they usually just put an SPF of 15 or 20 in makeup. I'm glad though because sun damage is no joke, specially in your eye area. After trying these out for about 2 days I went back to the mall to get some summer shoes. I also went back to MAC, I couldn't help it. I got four eye shadows in a little compact. They are so beautiful. I got two bright color shades and two neutral shades. The shades are: idol eyes, lucky green, woodwinked and star violet. The lady's there (sale reps) were super nice and helpful.

I used these eye shadows today to create this look:

For some reason this website wouldn't upload these pictures the way i had rotated them

To create this look I used the woodwinked shade from the MAC palette on my lid then I applied star violet at the end of the lid and unto my crease. I blended the crease out and then i took the shade virgin from the naked palette and put that as my highlight color. After that i used a brown eyeliner, lined my upper and lower lashes trying to keep the lines thin. I applied mascara. I also put some of the star violet on the lower half of the bottom lash line. Then to finish the look I just applied some bronzer under my cheekbones to contour and blush on the apples of my cheeks. I also used some of L'oreal's Color Riche balm in the shade plush plum. That was it, hope you all like this.
