Christmas MAC haul, Recent Favourites (AKA I'm back!)

So I haven't been posting much this winter because this winter has basically sucked. Didn't feel up to posting at all and didn't want to do any FOTD's because my skin had been freaking out due to hormones and stuff. Hopefully it should all balance out soon!

I didn't expect to get anything in the way of makeup this Christmas but my sister suprised me with a $100 MAC giftcard. :D!! So we immediately went out and picked some stuff up.



We've got Ladyblush blushcreme and two new e/s at the top (Brule and Sable, the two on the bottom of the quad I already had, Naked Lunch and Brown Down). This quad has become my go-to palatte along with the Tan pigment. Then I got a new Paint Pot, Groundwork. The pigment sample is Blue Brown which I feel kinda meh about at the moment.




And here are some of my favourite products for this winter so far!

-Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof mascara. I like this, it's a solid choice.
-NYX Slim Eye pencil in Black Brown
-MAC eye kohl in Teddy
-MAC Paint Pot in Groundwork (SO PRETTY on the lid with All That Glitters over)
-MAC Pigment in Tan. This has become an HG for me. It looks absolutely perfect with my green eyes. Stunning colour.
-MAC Quad with Brule, Naked Lunch, Sable, and Brown Down
-TooFaced Papa Don't Peach blush. This seemed like more of a summer colour but it really gives a gorgeous glow to the cheeks.
-MAC Blushcreme in Ladyblush. I apply this with a small kabuki brush and buff it in, then blend it and soften it with my foundation sponge. So pretty.
-Revlon lipgloss in Life's a Peach
-Davidoff Echo perfume and L'eau D'Issey perfume. These make me think of spring, very good for cheering me up when I'm down!




I'm still alive!

Hola!

I've started another blog in addition to this one, but instead of all things beauty I will be blogging about all things food! I bake and cook a great deal so I figured I might as well share come of my adventures and misadventures regarding my kitchen and I. So if you are interested in that, go to http://cookingwithbeautymuse.blogspot.com
