MAC Cork Satin Eye Shadow

Hello Readers!

Yesterday I went shopping with a couple of my friends, to have a look around the sales! It was rubbish where I went! I only picked up one item, which was this eyeshadow! And that wasn't even in the sale!

When it comes to make up, I usually wear a very neutral look on my eyes, so I go for brown eyeshadow. I used to use the milk chocolate colour from the Sleek Storm palette, but I have seriously hit pan! I wanted to try and find an alternative for that colour, and I think I have found it! :D





This eyeshadow is from the satin range, and the texture of it is so smooth and soft! You get 1.5g of product, for £11.50. I think this is good value for money, as the colour pay off is really good. My other MAC eyeshadow, Idol Eyes, the colour pay off is not so good. You have to really work with it to get a decent amount of colour.



My flash made this swatch look more golden, and shimmery. It is in fact, a matt colour. :) I put this colour all over my eyelids, and then put a more shimmery brown colour, from my Sleek palette in the crease and blend it up.

Rating 4.5/5

Mini MAC Haul.

Hello readers!

Wow... 2 posts in one night... Impressive! On sunday I went shopping with my mum, and whenever I go to Debenhams, I always want to check out the MAC section Now I'm not one of them girls who only buy high-end make up, I buy what I want to buy! What seems nice, and what has good quality! Whether its the £1 MUA eyeshadows from Superdrug (which have amazing pigment, and I love) to £22 foundation! I just buy what I think is good!

But, with me, and a freshly paid bank account, in a MAC store... Never a good idea! I dont know what it is.. I can never leave there empty handed!

On this mini splurge, I bought 2 items, a single eyeshaddow, and a Lustre lipstick.

The Eyeshadow:

The colour which I picked up is called Idol Eyes
It is a silver shimmery colour, with a hint of lilac. It has quite big chunks of glitter in it, so might not be everyone's choice. Unfortunately, it is not one of MAC's most pigmented colour, therefore you wouldn't be able to wear this colour on its own, you would need a primer underneath, to help bring the colour out.

MAC single eyeshadows retail at £11.50 each, and you get 1.5g of product.






(Sorry about the bad swatching, my camera on my phone cannot withstand its shimmery-ness!)

Idol Eyes eyeshadow: 3/5


The Lipstick:

The lipstick which I picked up is from the Lustre range, and is called Lovelorn. To me, this is the most beautiful shade of pink! It is so girly, and so classic!

MAC lipsticks retail at £13.50 each, and contain 3g of product. According to the MAC website it is "a blue-toned emotive pink". I just love it!

I love the packaging, it is just so sleek! The lipstick itself has a slight vanilla scent to it.











By far, this is one of my most favorite lipsticks!
Lovelorn Lipstick: 4.5/5

Let me know if you have tried any of these products!

Lots of Love
