My MAC Halloween Day Haul

2nd November, 2009

I’m oiling like an oil rigg these days so I had enough and decided to hit up the MAC store to finally try out MAC Blot pressed powder in Dark. I really like it. Anything is better than using a paper towel (pressing it over my face removes my makeup) or several blot sheets (which gets expensive). I really should try the loose powder instead because I think I’d like it better, but for portability reasons and to not mess up my purses by mistake, I went for the pressed powder. I am not using the powder puff it came with because I can imagine it getting really dirty and oily and just plain nasty. Gross. Price: $21.00

I also picked up a mineralized eye shadow from the Style Black collection, which I said I wasn’t going to bother with but when I saw Gilt By Association I had to have it. I thought I would have gone for Blue Flame because I love all MAC blue colors on me. I am not a purply girl, but I will wear purple so I skipped Young Punk. I think I may go back and get Cinderfella because it’s so me. Gilt By Association just looks the best out of the four to me. Price: $19.50

Lastly, I picked up two permanent eyeshadows. The first one I picked up was MAC Plumage which is a dark blue whale type of color – that’s the best way I know to describe it. Moby Dick like. It is a matte color and it went well in my crease when I paired it up with MAC Silverthorn (LE) on my lid.

I also picked up the ever lovely MAC Antiqued which is a burnt orangey color…it is a great jewel tone for sure. It is a veluxe pearl which means it’s easy to work with and it has some shimmer in it. I love this color for when I want to tone it down, like today. It was a rainy mess outside so instead of coming home looking like a racoon from the usual flashy colors I wear, I decided to bust out some MAC Antiqued, MAC Patina and MAC Dark Edge (LE) as a “Fall Seasony” look today. Price: $11.oo each (pan)
