M.A.C Fluidline

I LOVE M.A.C fluidline! I use it when I want a well defined eye. It is ultra smooth and I can easily apply it with one stroke of my brush. Smudge proof. Lasts forever. 6 Shades. What more could you ask for?

M.A.C fluidline is only $32! I know, pretty pricey for an eyeliner... But M.A.C fluidline isn't just any eyeliner ladies, it is one of a kind and lasts so long! Definitely worth its price in my eyes.









The six shades are:

1. Rich Ground-Reddened Coco with frost

2. Dip Down-Deep dark flat brown

5. Wave Line-Navy Blue with low level gold pearl

6. Macroviolet-Deep smoked violet with red pearl

To apply the M.A.C fluidline, I use my M.A.C 211 Pointed Liner Brush which was $37. I love the shade Blitz and Glitz because it has a pearly tone, rather than a solid black. Definitely try these ones out!

M.A.C eyeshadow palettes

There are two different types of eye shadow x4 palettes available from M.A.C, which are just gorgeous! Each palette comes with four versatile colours, perfect for that dynamic smokey eye look. And for $75, these palettes are reasonably priced, considering the high pigmentation of the shades, making them last longer!

SHOP AND DROP: EYESHADOW x4

This violet inspired palette is perfect for brown eyes, as violet compliments the gold and just you know, makes your eyes 'pop'! I have brown eyes and I personally use purple tinted eye shadows as a base colour and then add a neutral colour over the top. But I'm not such a 'bold' gal, so if you are, GO ALL OUT and use the really bold colours!! It's all about experimenting.

This palette comes in 4 contrasting shades of violet: Sugar Stack, Hypnotizing, Power Boosted and Shop and Drop

My favourite shade to use is Hypnotising because it works so well for an eye shadow base and it is only a subtle shade of violet-grey! If I'm doing a smokey eye look just with this palette, I use Hypnotizing as a base, Power Boosted in the crease and Shop and Drop along the lash line. I only use the slightest amount of Hypnotizing and Power Boosted because they're so pigmented! I then use Sugar Stack to highlight the inner corners of my eyes slightly, or even on my brow bone to give definition!

COLOUR ADDED: EYESHADOW x4

This palette is for those who are lovers of yellows, blues or purples! You can even mix the shades together to create a perfect combination! I love this palette because it's just so versatile because I can create so many different shades of browns, blues, teals, violets, you name it! And the cream shade works perfectly as a highlighter!!

The shades in this palette are completely different from each other: Laudry Daze, Colour Added, Pre-Packaged and Self-Serve.

My favourite shade in this eyeshadow palette is Laudry Daze because it is a perfect highlighting colour, even though it is pretty bright! I just use a touch of it in the corners of my eyes and it brightens my whole eyes up! Try it, it works beautifully! If I want a base colour from this palette, I mix a tiny bit of Self-Serve to the Colour Added to create a lovely golden brown. If your a teal sorta gal, then mix the yellow with the blue to create your perfect shade!


I love these eyeshadow x4 palettes and recommend that if you have a little extra cash, BUY THEM!

M.A.C Makeup Brushes

M.A.C Makeup Brushes: probably the most well used brand of makeup brushes, but is it the best?

Well, yes and no. I mean, I love M.A.C and have quite a few of their brushes, but I also love other brands which are cheaper and similar quality, such as Sigma.



So what are the Pros and Cons of these brushes:

PROS:

There is an enormous range of brushes, and I mean enormous! You think of a brush, it will be there. This is a huge advantage on their part, as many people will buy all their brushes from M.A.C because all the brush types they want come in so many sizes and types in one shop! The brushes are extremely high quality and I recommend trying them out!

CONS:

These brushes are fairly expensive! And if your only a teenager with not much money, because you either don't have a job or have a low paying part time job, the idea of buying one foundation brush for $88 can seem quite overwhelming! So, I recommend maybe trying out the cheaper M.A.C brushes or using cheaper brands such as Sigma, until you can comfortably afford to spend that well earned money on M.A.C!

M.A.C cosmetics

To start off, I'd just like to say hi to everyone out there who loves makeup like me hehe :)

But the main point of this post is to review M.A.C cosmetics!!!
(As requested by shelly)

M.A.C cosmetics...

Well where to begin, where to begin..

M.A.C is often regarded as the best makeup brand. I hardly know why, as there are other brands that are just as good as M.A.C and are often cheaper! In saying this, I must take into account that M.A.C isn't a terrible brand, it's just not the best brand because of the prices of the products which sometimes aren't so good...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that M.A.C isn't a good brand! I absolutely love M.A.C eyeshadows and own too many to count myself hahah. They are extremely pigmented and come in a huge range of shades! Who would'nt like them??

M.A.C brushes are also awesome!! Well only if you have the money to purchase them! The price is pretty steep! But look at it this way, the price is well worth the quality. My favourite M.A.C brush is the 188 small duo fibre face brush. This brush just works so well as a stippling brush to apply my foundation! I just love it!!

I also love the M.A.C fluidline! It is so easy to apply and you can vary the thickness of the line, depending on the brush you use. But it just flows so well and lasts forever! I strongly recommend purchasing this product

Their foundation though? Not as good. M.A.C foundation is often regarded as the best foundation and so many young teenagers only purchase it to fit in because it is viewed as the 'best' brand of makeup. It can look caky and is very expensive! $60?? If you ask me, just a tad bit too expensive for a foundation, especially if you're going to wear it everyday because it will run out so much quicker.

M.A.C brush cleaner is amazing though!! $20 for the brush cleaner!! bargin!! M.A.C describes, 'this one product will clean, disinfect and condition the brush fibres so that brushes will last longer.'
pretty true in my opinion! My brushes have lasted over 2 years now! and many more years to come!

Thats all for the review on M.A.C cosmetics because the list of products by M.A.C is just far too long and this post would go on forever! But feel free to post a comment on what other M.A.C products I should review or even just your opinion on M.A.C

until next time,
