Recent Mac Hauls

So it has been a few months that I have been away and have taken granted of my blog. I have went through several hardships these few months and I have landed on my feet and I'm taking off running. This post is long overdue and I thought I would start with my most recent purchases from the numerous MAC collections that they have come out with. I am going to show them collectively and give the names of them but nothing detailed such as swatches or a review on them yet. I want to start doing reviews on single items so that I can be more detailed with pictures and commentary and not to just rush through. Without further adieu lets get started:

This is a compilation picture of my most recent Mac hauls for about two months. The collections are MAC Me Over, Posh Paradise, Matchmaster Foundation, and I went and viewed the Mac Fall Colour and Style Driven collection at the MAC Pro store. Some of it is just random pick ups that I wanted to try out.

These items I picked up from the MAC Pro store and I also looked at the newer collections such as Mac Fall Colour and Styledriven. I also picked up a sample of the Matchmaster foundation in the shade 9.0.
    1. MAC Green Gel Cleanser- $10.00 I am in need of a good face cleanser
    2. MAC Oil Control Lotion- $15.00 for my extra oily skin to sample
    3. Mac pro Chromaline in Primary Yellow- $17.50 use as a base for some eyeshadow colors
    4. Mac Chromographic Pencil in Marine Ultra- $15.00 for my lash lines or water lines
    5. Mac Lipglass in Chai- $14.50  this is the perfect nude lip for me, Me likey
     6. MAC Matchmaster Foundation in 9.0- I'm dark with neutral undertones Puuurfect!

Now these are from the Posh Paradise Collection and I purchased these from Dillard's. I was very excited about this collection because of the paint pots and to be able to have a variety of colors is amazing. I only got the ones that I thought were unique and would not compare to the NYX jumbo pencils. (in order from top left to right and bottom left to right)
    1. Mac Paint Pot in Half-Wild- $17.50 (Mid tone purple frost color)
    2. Mac Paint Pot in Hyperviolet- $17.50 (Deep violet frost color)
    3. Mac Paint Pot in Genuine Treasure- $17.50 (Reflects antique gold frost)
    4. Mac Paint Pot in Treasure Hunt- $17.50 (light pearled yellow frost color)

This haul right here is from the MAC Me Over Collection that I really didn't care for too much until I did a few swatches of some items. I am actually thinking about taking the Fluidlines back because they seem to really irritate my eyes constantly while on as well as the lack of their pigmentation on my darker skin.
     1. Mac Fluidline in Dark Diversion- $15.00 (darkened plum)
     2. Mac Fluidline in Midnight Blues- $15.00 (blackened blue)
     3. Mac Eyeshadow in Outre- $16.50 (mid toned mustard matte color)
     4. Mac Lipglass in Curvaceous- $14.50 (light gray pink)
     5. Mac Lipglass in Social Light- $14.50 (neutral pink w/ pearlized pigments)
     6. Mac Powder Blush in Equilibrium- $19.00 (may be a neutral blush for me maybe?)
     7. Mac Pro Longwear Foundation sample in NW50- (way too light and yellow toned)

This haul was a very random haul from when I was just looking around and decided to try these new items out. I heard good reviews about these items as well as testing them out went pretty well.
     1. Mac Fleur Power Blush- $19.50 (pinky peach color)
     2. Mac Lipglass in Lychee Luxe- $14.50 (peachy orange coral sparkle)
     3. Mac Lip pencil in Currant- $14.00 (darkened purple plumish color)
     4. Mac Pigment in Rose- $20.00 (rose with copper sparkle frost)

Okay that concludes this compilation of hauls and I am trying to start doing this 2-3x a week to keep posted and actually start providing good information on different products that I use. Any request you can send to my email or just leave a comment. Thanks!

CCO: MAC haul

Ever since I found out about a local CCO in my neighboring areas I have been crazy about buying MAC cosmetics. I normally go here and buy the majority of my MAC products because the price is unbelieveable. I am now really into fixing up my whole makeup collection and learning the best ways "for me" to apply and do makeup. I bought a few things specifically because I am loving the way purples complement my complexion. Here we go!

This palette is called In The Gallery with a price of $24.50 and these colors are very pigmented and they are soft and some mauvy purples which will make a perfect smokey eye. I like the fact that it is a day to night compact with lighter colors as well as a deeper mauvy color to kick it up a notch lol : P






This color is called Violet Trance with a price tag of $10.25 and is a very strong electric purple and caught my eye right of the bat. Now this color looks nothing like the color in person at all but I guess this will have to do until I swatch. It was so vibrant and rich in color that I couldnt leave without this baby. It was more powerful than was I went looking for but I think I could blend this baby really good and tone it up or down.

This hot pink barbie lipglass color is called True Babe and was $10.25 and I didnt plan on getting this one but when I tried it on me and my sister were like "get it gurl" lol and I felt like I could really pull this one off. It has such a nice creamy texture to it and the color doesnt overpower my feature and I think this one is a GO.

Now this baby is a beauty and I had been looking at it since I first found out about this CCO and I finally broke down and bought it. This is the MAC 183 is a flat buffer brush that was a whopping $28.00 but was well worth it. It feels amazing and I feel it will get the job done for giving me a nice buffed, finished HD kinda look. The bristles are really soft and dense enough to put in some work. This is actually my first MAC brush and hopefully not my last but I am getting ready to order some Sigma brushes lol.

Now I promise to not come back a year later like I did lol but Im settled now and I promise to give you the hauls that were missed on here really soon, a years worth lol. I will also do looks on these products as well as reviews. See ya later and it feels good to be back : )
