Mac Haul!

Hey guys! Wusuuuuuup!!! So today I went to the mall and I promised myself I wouldn't go into Mac because I've been spending money like crazyyy but I did and because of my crappy/ nonexistent willpower when it comes to makeup I got 2 lipsticks and 1 eye shadow from them. But that's still not bad, right?


The first lipstick is Captive which is a Satin lipstick. On the website it is described as a pinkish plum color. (I was going to upload pictures of the tubes of lipstick but the colors turned out looking differently than they do in reality so I just posted the swatches which look pretty accurate!)
The second lipstick I got is in the color Del Rio which is also a Satin lipstick. I really like the texture of those. It is just a muted plum brown. I also see a bit of peach put into the mix.

Swatches:




Little Review:

The lipsticks are very creamy and nice. Even if the colors aren't what you are personally looking for, the quality is awesome. I also like the price because compared to other high end brands, 14.50 seems pretty good to me. I also like the smell. I grew up watching my mom put on Mac lipstick so I love Mac just in general but their lipsticks and shadows really do speak for themselves.



And lastly, the shadow I got is in the color Greensmoke. It is this really pretty metallic green with silver sparkles. I actually thought it would be darker or more pigmented when I bought it. In actuality the name is pretty self explanatory. It ended up being the prettiest smoky green. I love those shadows where you just put it on your lid with a brush and it looks like you spent hours blending it out when, in reality, you only spent 5 minutes. This is one of those shadows. I recommend trying it if you want to try out colors but don't want to go out there too bold.

Overall: LOVE IT!

  3. @Wawa I actually think red lipstick looks good on everyone! It probably looks awesome on you. I love it when someone does a daring red lip. Everyone's into nude colors lately.
