The Haul.

Alright, so when I went to Mac, I'd planned on buying a Mineralize Skinfinish/Natural in my skin tone, a slightly darker one for contouring, and a Mineralize Skinfinish for highlighting. I also wanted to try out a blusher as it's something I've never worn before. So I get there and ask the assistant/makeup artist person about the skinfinish naturals, and she gives me a shade which I thought would be WAY too light for my skin. I trusted her judgement though so the first thing I bought was the skinfinish naturals in light.


Then, instead of a darker shade for contouring, she recommended a Powder Blush. I'm liking it, but I'm still going to go get my skinfinish instead and use the blusher just as a blusher and not for contouring. It makes my face too red.

Again, instead of a mineralise skinfinish for highlighting, I was recommended a different product. It's a Cream Colour Base, and can be used in a variety of ways. I'm actually loving this and will continue to buy it.

I also wanted a concealer, and I ended up buying the same one I had had in mind anyway. It's the Studio Sculpt Concealer, and I'm liking the coverage it gives, though it is quite thick and takes a good bit of blending.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I already had a foundation from MAC. On talking to the assistant though, I discovered it was completely the wrong one, so I bought a Mineralize Satinfinish foundation while I was there. I got it in an unexpected colour for me (NC15. The NC colours are yellow toned, and I am not) but this one matched my skin perfectly. My NW18 Studiofix fluid was actually looking a bit orange on me, which is odd, but I'm pleased to have something better!

And finally I bought something which I've wanted for AGES and I have to say I'm loving it. It's Fluidline gel eyeliner in blacktrack. Love!
You can see I've been using it a lot!


So, after all that I'm loving what I bought, but I still have a bit of a list of things I want to buy. First it'll be a Mineralize Skinfinish Naturals in medium, then who knows after that. If I ever win the lottery, I'm buying out that whole shop!
