Makeup Haul (MAC, Smashbox & Estee Lauder)

Hi guys :)

I've been in Manchester for a few days so I did a bit of shopping.. Yey :) I bought some of these things from Selfridges and some from The Cosmetics Company Outlet. I will give a short description on each product but I won't go into too much detail as I haven't had a chance to try any of these products out yet. Enjoy!


MAC Lipstick (Strong Woman) :


"Strong Woman" lipstick
This is part of the 'Strength' collection that was released last December. I don't know where this lipstick is available now but I got mine in The Cosmetics Company Outlet in York, England.
This is a matte lipstick and I really like this shade. I'm excited to try it cause I don't have any matte purples!


MAC Lipstick (Royal Azalea) :


"Royal Azalea" lipstick
This is a sheen supreme lipstick. I'm not sure if it's from a collection or if it's part of the permanent collection. This colour is so beautiful and opaque! It looks as if it's going to be super moisturising. I think this will soon become a favourite!


Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation :


Foundation in Ivory Nude 72
I recently noticed that my MAC Studio Fix Fluid isn't giving me as full a coverage as I would like. This foundation had 25% off so I decided to give it a try as I've heard really good things about it! I might do a review on this in the future if anyone would like one :)


MAC Lipstick (Supremely Confident) :


"Supremely Confident" lipstick
This is a another sheen supreme lipstick. It is a very pale nude colour with slight shimmer. It also seems very moisturising. This is a really pigmented lipstick and I don't have any other lipstick in this colour.


MAC Pigment (Bright Fuchsia) :


"Bright Fuchsia" pigment
I've wanted to get some bright coloured pigments for ages. This was my favourite pink colour so I decided to go with it. It has a slight metallic finish but I think it makes it pop!


MAC Pressed Pigment (Blonde Streak) :

"Blonde Streak" pigment
I love this product so much! I've been wanting to buy it for ages and when I saw it for 30% off I couldn't resist. It is like a gold glitter but more opaque because it has a light gold base. I'm so happy to finally have this in my collection!


MAC Pro Longwear Concealer :

Concealer in shade NC15
I have read really great reviews on this concealer so I wanted to see what the hype was! I don't actually use concealer everyday so I thought that I might use this to mix in with my foundation for a more full coverage. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out :)


MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow (Opalesse) :

Opalesse eyeshadow
Like the pressed pigment, I eyed this product for ages when it was in stores. It is a white based eyeshadow with blue and purple reflect glitter and it's so gorgeous! I'm really excited to do a purple eye look with this eyeshadow.


MAC Pigment (Full Force Violet) :

"Full Force Violet" Pigment
I got this the same time as the other pigment while I was looking for brighter colours. One of the girls that was working at MAC was wearing this on her eyes and it looked gorgeous! It is quite matte I think and it doesn't seem as easy to work with as the other pigment but we'll see what happens :)


Smashbox Lipgloss (Pout) :

"Pout" lipgloss
When I saw this lipgloss it reminded be of NARS 'Turkish Delight'. It is the same milky light pink colour but with a slight pink shimmer. I think this would look gorgeous over a nude lipstick to brighten it up a bit!


MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow (Blue Orbit) :

"Blue Orbit" eyeshadow
Despite the name, this eyeshadow it more of a purple than a blue. It reminds me of a more creamy version of MAC 'Stars n Rockets'. These eyeshadows seem like they will blend really easily and I will use this alongside the 'Opalesse' eyeshadow for an extra "pop"!


MAC Blusher (Immortal Flower) :


"Immortal Flower" Blusher
This blusher is from the recent "All About Orange" collection. I didn't buy it when the collection came out because it was sold out in every store I visited. It's like a cream soda kind of colour or a very light peach. It is quite powdery but I really light it for pale skin!
