MAC Haul

I have taken a few cheeky trips to MAC recently, so I thought I would do a collective haul and share what I have picked up and what my thoughts are on them so far.

Before going into the stores, and I really do recommend this, I researched what products I wanted so I have a vague idea of what I would be getting as MAC stores can get pretty hectic.  

The first thing I knew that I wanted was the MAC Face and Body foundation, of which I had heard a lot of reviews and raves about. I was stuck between the colours C4 and C5 but ended up getting the C5 as it matched my forehead and chin the best and I will be reviewing it soon. This cost me £22 as I got the smaller bottle.

I also got a Mineralize Skin Finish in the colour medium dark, and this was £24. I have worn this a couple of times so far and I really like the finish on it!

The rest of the things I picked were four lipsticks which are priced £15.50 each. These lipsticks that I will be talking about are all neutral nudish colours and are suitable for everyday wear.

The first one I picked up was Twig which is the perfect pink for my skintone. It is a nude pink, but more on the pink side, and looks perfect with any look. It goes really well with the MAC lipliner in the colour Soar.

I also bought the colour Taupe which is the perfect shade of brown, it can be worn lightly for an everyday look or built up to increase the intensity for a bolder look.

The next colour is Mocha which is also another nude/brown colour but has a slight brick undertone. It is slightly  brighter and adds a pop of colour to lips but is still wearable for everyday.

Finally, my favourite, I bought the iconic Velvet Teddy! This is the perfect "my lips but better" colour and I have been reaching for it almost every day. It is the perfect mix of brown and pink and I am in love it.

The colours may look similar but I promise they are different! (Especially when applied to the lips)

MAC has the best lipstick colours, and I can't wait to expand my collection. Thanks for reading and I hope you've enjoyed!

L'Oreal Nude Magique Blur Primer Review

I always use this product in my posts and is definitely my favourite primer at the moment. I picked this up in a previous haul, which you can read about in a previous post and I instantly fell in love with it so I thought I would review it.

There are two shades - light to medium and medium to dark, of which I bought the latter shade and it is priced £9.99 in Boots, so a little on the pricier side but I still quite affordable.

The primer is flesh coloured but does not leave any colour on the skin after it has been applied. It is silicone based and feels makes the skin feel so smooth once it has been applied and provides an even base which makes foundation application all the more easier and more long lasting.

After applying it, it doesn't feel like I have anything on my so it is very lightweight and is also slightly mattifying so gives a satin finish, which I personally love as it looks the most natural.

The product description states that it has micro blur technology which has "light reflectors" that has an "optical blurring effect". This means that it blurs pores, and although my pores don't completely disappear, it really does make a difference.

I use my fingertips to apply it as I have found that is the easiest for me, but anything can be used - a brush or even a sponge. I have also found that a little goes a long way so the 25ml of product should last.

As I have said, this is my current favourite primer and I have been using for a few months ago so I definitely recommend it. Hope you've enjoyed!

PS: I am so sorry that I have been MIA for the past 2 weeks or so -  I have been busy with university deadlines and exams. I will hopefully be back in the swing of things soon as the holidays hit in 2 weeks time!
