MAC Make-up Collection

MAC has been a staple in the beauty community for I don't know how long. It was one of the first "high end" brands I was introduced to, and I think the same can be said for a lot of people. It used to dominate YouTube as the topic of beauty gurus' videos, and I used to watch ALL of them.

It seems like it is a brand that many younger teenagers seem to flock to and I decided to go back and visit my small stash of MAC products and share them with you! It's like looking back into the beauty product yearbook.

Lets look at eyeshadows first, because that is surprisingly what I have the most of. I always forget about these but I love the combination of neutrals and browns that I picked up. Those need to get a lot more use!

I have two blushes in my collection and they are as different as night and day.

Sunbasque is a sheertone shimmer that is more peachy gold sheen. It doesn't have chunky glitter which I like but this is an amazing warm weather color. This will look good on probably all skin tones and with a tan it will be a great subtle flush.

Fever is a total Winter color and one that needs to be used with the lightest of hands. It is a matte and is described as an intense reddish burgundy. It is gorgeous but can be hard to wear if you're too light. It is so pigmented but even more so than Sunbasque, which is pretty pigmented for it's color.

I have one face powder, which is actually a beauty powder. It is called Blush of Youth and I'm almost positive it was a limited edition product. I bought it at a CCO a loooong time ago. This is a weird product because if you swatch it on your finger or put your brush in you can see the product but once it is on your face you can't see much of anything. However, it is nice for taking shine away. For as long as I've been using it though, I can get through that rose design! It isn't a must have product but I think if I could try other beauty powders I might be more impressed.

Finally, my final product is a Cremesheen lipstick called On Hold. Now in the pictures it looks like a red lipstick but it really is a bright hot pink. The website describes it as a mid-tone yellow raspberry which I think is pretty right on.  I think the swatch does a little more justice. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan because it is drying and the smell kind of sucks. However, that seems like the consensus amongst many girls, and it seems like MAC lipsticks are a dying favorite.

Powder blushes go for $21 in the package and eyeshadows are $15 in package. If you only buy the pan refills - the blushes are $17 and the eyeshadows are $12. I ended up depotting Sunbasque and a few of the eyeshadows. While it is a pain in the butt, it can be done. I have the older palettes but MAC as totally revamped and made them really customizable with inserts. There is even one that you can see through the lid and one that is double sided! Lipsticks usually go for $15 which is pretty reasonable.

Hope you guys enjoyed! I have a target haul coming up soon.
