MAC madness!

I can honestly say I had mixed emotions when I arrived home after going shopping last week, as I am afraid to say I spent to much money, especially in MAC (sooner or later I will put up the other bits I got but for now just MAC) Anywho I went in there solely to look at concealers and powders, as I have dark circles around my eyes and had heard that MAC's concealers work wonders. Also a powder as my T-zone tends to get very greasy in the day so a good powder I was willing to invest in. However when I asked the lovely lady to hep match me up to a shade, I was transported to a chair in front of a mirror, and this is where all the problems began...

Firstly she helped me find my concealer, and she came back with the Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade 'NC20', which suited my skintone and had a good coverage to cover up my horrible dark circles. Concealer...Check!

Then came the powder, and she came back with the Select Sheer/Pressed powder in shade 'NC20', which again looked just how I wanted and I've found had a lovely cover and helps to keep my grease at bay. Powder... Check!

Now this is where the problem began, because as I was explaining the dark circle situation she told me about how orange and pink tones help to conceal the green and blue tones in dark circles, which I knew about but was unaware that they did a product to cater for that need. But of course they did! Off she went and back she came with a highlighter in the shade 'Bright Forecast' which is an orange highlighter and has hugely helped in ridding some of the blue from my eyes and due to the good coverage stays for longer too. Another good product, but now my prize was slowly rising...

And finally I had seen a couple of paint pots I was dying to try and when I finally found them and swatched them I fell in love. Painterly is a nudey/light pink colour, perfect for every day just giving some extra coverage on the eyes and some colour, and Rubenesque is a gorgeous golden pinky/peach, lovely for a warmer tone and gives more depth and warmth to the eyes. I'm in love!

So its safe to say I spent way to much money in MAC that day but the products will last me ages so its all worth it. A defiinate recommend would be either the concealer or paint pots, they're lovely and great products, just close your eyes and brace yourself when they ready you the final price!
