I've managed to start up a little MAC collection in the last few months. I brought my first MAC product with my Christmas money and have since brought a few more products.
So today's post is going to show you my little MAC collection.
The first product I brought was the MAC lipstick in 'Velvet Teddy'. I feel like this is a staple in everyone's MAC collection, and everyone seems to have it. So it seemed like a good start. Velvet Teddy is basically the perfect nude, 'my lips but better' shade. It is quite a dark nude than a pinky nude and I love it. All the MAC lipsticks smell pretty good, a vanilla, lipstick sort of smell. They also taste pretty good too. Lipsticks that don't taste good really put me off wearing them.
The lipsticks cost £15.50 each, which I personally think is quite expensive, but honestly worth it for MAC lipsticks. Their matte lipsticks, as Velvet Teddy is a matte, last so long and can even last through meals and drinking.
The second item I brought from MAC was a 4x insert palette. This can hold 4 eyeshadows and has very sleek, simple packaging that looks sophisticated and elegant. This cost £5, which is cheap, but also not cheap when you think about it, as the palette doesn't come with any shadows. You have to fill the palette yourself and the MAC eyeshadows cost £10 each. I think this is ridiculous for a single pan eyeshadow, that is no bigger than a 2p coin. But I brought a shade I really love called 'Addiction'. This was my next MAC purchase and is a gorgeous deep red shimmer shadow. The pigmentation is great, but honestly I've had cheaper eyeshadows that are just as good. And I also know you can buy cheaper shadows that fit into the MAC pans, from brands such as Makeup Geek, Morphe and NYX. I do really love the shadow I brought from MAC, but I do recommend you do your research into a shadow you are looking at buying, as they are v expensive.
The forth and so far (but hopefully not for long!) final product I brought from MAC is my new obsession, It is currently my favourite lipstick, MAC's 'Mehr' lipstick is a gorgeous deep, rose pink that is just my perfect pink. I did my research before going into the MAC store and this shows just how much I wanted this lipstick; I was able to pick it out of the MAC lipstick stand instantly!
This also cost £15.50 and is a matte lipstick. This lasts even longer than the Velvet Teddy lipstick and literally stays on for several hours and doesn't dry the lips out, which makes it a great lipstick to wear to college.
Overall I love the MAC products I have brought so far and can't wait to buy more. I think MAC lipsticks are my new obsession and something I can't wait to make a collection out of! I know the price of MAC products are high, but start slow and build a mini collection up gradually. That's my best advice!
