I know that a new MAC release is supposed to be a big deal, people who aren’t even in to make up get all giddy and excited over it. I don’t. The promotional photos rarely ever appeal to me, they’re totally unrelateable. So it came as a great surprise to me when I saw the promo snaps for the new Indulge Fall Collection.
MAC Prep+Prime LoosePowder
Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Kohl Liner in Nude ( Waterline )
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara
*LIPS*
MAC Lipstick in Diva
Can you believe that I didn’t use MAC on the eyes? It just goes to show how dupe-able products really are. Despite that, I still cannot wait to get my hands on Gilt Gourmet Fluidline and Just a Bite lipstick. I don’t have anything like the Gilt Gourmet in my own personal collection, so I’m devastated that it’s already sold out online! As soon as it hits the stores, I’m there. Buying ten.
In the promo photo the woman was wearing a nude lipstick – think ‘concealer lips’. I’m sure she’s wearing Smash Hit lipstick and I can imagine this looking quite flattering on paler skin tones, but I haven’t even looked at a nude lipstick in years. I feel I’ve moved past that stage now, so I painted on my beloved MAC Diva. I just cannot stop wearing this shade lately – the sumptuous, warming dark burgundy feels strangely comforting as the cold, harsh winter approaches.
In other news, I must apologise for my lack of online activity recently. I’ve been working on a couple of projects and have been struggling to find a balance although I did manage to find my way to Paperchase to purchase a diary that will keep me organised.
Me? Organised? Well… There’s a first for everything 😉
I have lots and lots to post about, so stay tuned!
