MAC haul

Mac Haul

Hello everyone, recently i had two makeovers done by mac for two events and that means of course i bought some products so today I'm doing a mac haul so i can show you what i bought!

I thought i would tell you a bit about the mac makeovers i had incase any of you were thinking about having it done. Both times i paid for a makeup in 60 and they were £30 each but you get to buy £30 worth of makeup at the end so technically the makeover is free, it lasts an hour and you everything from prepping to the actual makeup. I went to the mac in southampton and the ladies who done my makeup were so lovely and made me feel very comfortable, they ask questions about your skin and what products you normally use to ensure the right type of makeup is used and also what they think you will like. They then ask how you want your makeup for the specific occasion whether it be a subtle look or a strong smokey eye with a high coverage foundation, they also ask what sort of things you are wearing so they can get the most out of the colours they use, This really helped them understand exactly what i wanted and i was so impressed with the outcome i would definitely recommend to anyone. Probably one of my favourite things about it was the pro chart you get with a list of all the products and equipment used and a diagram of where the makeup is put on the face, i really liked this because it meant i could recreate the look and if there were any products i liked but couldn't get on the day i could go back and know what i wanted because its all written down.

Anyway on to the haul, the first things i got where lip products, i got 3 lipsticks in honeylove, velvet teddy, cosmo and a pro longwear lip pencil in nice 'n' spicy. As you can see from the pictures they are all very similar nudes but with my skin tone i find it very hard to find a nude that suits me so when i get one that looks nice i end buying a few in similar shades. Honeylove and velvet teddy are matte finishes and cosmo is an amplified. I then bought nice 'n' spicy because i thought it would go nicely with all 3 lipsticks meaning i wouldn't have to buy separate ones.

The next products i bought were for the face. I bought the studio fix foundation in NC15 which is one of my all time favourites so i had to buy myself a new one whilst i was there. I also bought another pro longwear concealer in NW20 which is a slightly darker colour because the one i already had was a bit light so i use it for highlighting under my eyes. The last face product i bought was the mac mineralise skin finish in 'soft and gentle'. The lady who done my makeup the first time used this and i fell in love with it, its the perfect highlight shade for the cheekbones and I've used it every day since.

The last things i got were eyeshadows, i got two single pro pallette refill pans in swiss chocolate and omega and a 9 shadow palette in amber times nine. I got omega for my eyebrows and the swiss chocolate is great for in the crease when doing a brown smokey eye. The amber times nine palette is perfect for travelling as it can create loads of different looks. I will leave all the links to the products below and the prices.

They're all the products i got and i can't wait to try them all out, of course mac isn't the cheapest makeup brand and i did buy these over a few weeks but i did some research to see if they were good so i would definitely recommend doing that before buying anything. If you would like me to do a blogpost on my makeover please leave a comment below and also i would love to know what your favourite mac product is!
Thank you for reading
Lots of Love
