MAC 'Mehr' Lipstick - I specifically went to the MAC counter for a lipstick because I had mentioned in my previous wish list post that I was looking for a colour similar to what Kylie Jenner had been sporting. When browsing lipsticks and eyeshadows I reach for the colours that catch my eye and because I was looking for a 'dark browny pink' shade I instantly picked 'Mehr' up, which is not a colour I had mentioned in my wish list. I swatched the colour on my hand and I really liked the look of it but before buying I asked one of the makeup artists to show me 'Velvet Teddy' which she then told me is out of stock, I didn't want to walk away with out a lipstick so I decided on Mehr as I thought it was closest to the colour I had been looking for, possibly a little darker but I love it. In my wish list I had also mentioned the colours 'Faux' and 'Twig' but after doing more research I thought 'Faux' was too light and sheer and 'Twig' was lighter than I was looking for too but I would possibly buy that in the future. MAC describes this colour as 'dirty blue pink' which is an interesting way to describe it. I usually don't like to buy MAC lipsticks instead I wait until I have 6 empty containers so that I can earn a free lipstick through the 'Back to MAC' programme but unfortunately this time I was 2 short of a free lipstick!
MAC 'Pink Treat' Cremestick Liner - After choosing a lipstick I asked the makeup artist to match up a lip liner. She asked me if I was going for the 'Kylie Jenner look' which I'm sure is a frequently asked question at the counter, she then told me that this is in fact the lip liner Kylie uses herself and luckily it was in stock. I'm so pleased with this liner it is so easy to use because it glides on so smoothly and it stays in place and lasts much longer than any other liner I have used. I have been using MAC 'Dervish' lip pencial for some time now which wears off very easily so I would definitely recommend the MAC Cremestick liners over the regular lip pencils which are the same price.
In this picture I am using both 'Pink Treat' cremestick liner and 'Mehr' lipstick
MAC 'Girlie' Eyeshadow - I couldn't leave the counter with out picking up an eyeshadow to fill a space in my palette. I was looking for a dusky pink colour mostly to use for a simple everyday look instead of using browns and neutrals. I probably could have picked a better colour but it was a last minute decision however I used it last night as a base colour for a smokey eye and I was pleased with the outcome. This colour is described as 'rosy-pink with subtle shimmer'.
In this picture I have incorporated 'Girlie' eyeshadow in a smokey eye along with MAC 'Quarry' 'Sketch' 'Mulch' 'Gleam' 'Shroom' eyeshadows, MAC liquid eyeliner, Barry M Lash Vegas Mascara and I used my HD Brow and Eye palette to fill in my eyebrows.
MAC Liquid Eye Liner - I always buy MAC liquidlast eye liner and I swear by it but this time I thought I would go for something different, which was a mistake. Although I am getting use to the different applicator which possibly makes for a more precise finish than the liquidlast brush, I find this liner smudges and wears off easier when worn on its own with out eyeshadow.
I also repurchased 2 of my must have and favourite makeup products which are the MAC Pro Concealer Palette and Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation.
