Recently, I went into MAC...



I try to be sensible with the products I buy, especially if they are on the pricey side. I recently popped into MAC and whilst I was so so tempted to get a few more things, my bank account will not allow it. Maybe next month?


So I bought a new concealer, the Studio Finish in NC30. I usually wear the Pro Longwear Concealer but that darn pump is the most annoying thing ever. I try to squeeze a teeny tiny amount out and you get a huge blob. I love the texture and finish of the Pro Longwear but the pump just ruins everything. I've used the Studio Finish twice and after reading a few reviews the word 'drying' does pop up quite a lot. It is quite dry, but I finish when I used my finger instead of a brush, it's a lot easier to apply. 



I also bought an eyeshadow in the colour Brun. I think I saw this a while ago in one of the Pixiwoo videos, it was used to fill in the brows. Now, I'm big on brows. I love dark, arched, thick eyebrows, the only thing I have is an arch so the rest I have to create. I usually use Benefit's BrowZings in dark but recently I realised that in flash photography it reflects an orangey/red colour which just looks bizarre. So since then, I've been used Brun as a base and then Browzings on top, mainly on the arch and end of my eyebrows. 


Last but not least, I bought a highlighter! It's the Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle and oh my! It is beautiful. I used to use the Bourjois Illuminating Touch (it's packaged like their blushers and eyeshadows) and it's also amazing but I prefer this one for now. It's super shimmery, I would say it's more gold than bronze and a little goes a long way. I use it on my cheek bones and blend up towards my eyebrow bone. It's also huge, so it'll last for ages. 


And that's it for my first post. I'm enjoying this! (It took me ages to take and edit those photos, how does everyone else do it?!)
