Must Have MAC Eyeshadows

I have A LOT of eyeshadows, but my MAC babies are some of my favourites, despite how beat up the poor things look.

Nylon is described as a pale gold with icy shimmer. This is the most perfect highlight colour you will ever find. It makes your inner corners look amazing and your eyes wider and more awake. It's the only MAC shadow I've hit pan on because I literally use it every single day. I'd definitely say it's more white on the skin than gold, so it's flattering for all skin tones. If you were only to buy one shadow from MAC, I would tell you to buy this one.

Patina is described as a taupe brown with golden pearl. This one is beautiful all over the lid on its own or as a part of a look. It's slightly warm but not so much that it looks orangey like one of my favourites Time & Space does. Another perfect everyday shade.

Mulch is a red-brown with bronze pearl. It's almost a chocolatey brown but is definitely quite warm. It brings out the green in my eyes to a craaaazy level and I absolutely love it. It's beautiful through the crease or all over the lid in a smokey eye. Love.

The Spring Blush Edit

I'm not generally a blush person, I stick to my bronzy glow. But in the spring I think it's nice to add a bit of flush to my already red cheeks (woe is me). Anywho, these are my all-time blush favourites.

Not sure how you could not know about the Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot after all the buzz over the holidays, but I absolutely adore it. It was limited edition, but if I could recommend one for you to buy, it'd be Rockateur because it's the perfect in-between colour, not too pink but not too taupe. I also adore Coralista, but it IS different in the palette, so I still get use out of this one. By the way, if you've never smelled a Benefit blush get your butt to Ulta right now and sniff, HEAVEN.

Another corally favourite is elf's Candid Coral which is supposed to be a dupe for NARS Orgasm. I think it's a tiiiiiiny bit more coral, but for $3 who can complain? I recently found Gotta Glow in Marshall's and it is the perfect highlighter, honestly you need it. On the slightly crazy side is Sleek's Life's A Peach which looks neon in the pan but is a beautiful, natural looking orange on the skin. I was surprised by how amazing this made my skin look.

Then there's the can't-go-wrong shades like MAC's Well Dressed and Tarte's Dollface, light pinks with a slight sheen that make you look like a million dollars. Well Dressed is my go-to blush on a regular basis.

Drugstore Haul

I went into Walgreens today to pick up some shampoo (Head and Shoulders Crisp Apple because my poor scalp hates season changing time) and I walked out with a hole in my wallet.

If you read my most recent post you'll know my poor nails have suffered and are weak and peely. Boooo. So I picked up essie's Millionails Treatment. It's meant to help with peeling so hopefully my nails will be strong again soon. For some reason the Sally Hansen Triple Shine Polishes were $1.29 so I grabbed the ones I liked the look of. First is Shark Bait, a light beigey nude which doesn't have too warm of an undertone, so good for my skin. Deep End is a dark purple, surprisingly I only have black-purple nail polishes and lilacs, being my favourite colour I'm happy to have a royal purple. Slick Black is absolutely GORGEOUS, it's a black base with silver and multicolour shimmer. It reminds me of butterLondon's Chimney Sweep, but less metallic more shimmery. Last I got Watts New, which is kind of like a deep wine colour that leans slightly more purple.

The Rimmel Scandal Eyes Pencil in Taupe was also on super sale so I snatched it up to recreate some taupe smokey eyes a la Linda Hallberg. On a whim I snatched up Maybelline's somewhat new Fit Me Matte + Poreless because I've heard a lot about it, I love the original, and 110 Porcelain looked extra light for a drugstore foundation. I'm a bit bummed because it's on sale at Ulta, but nevertheless I am excited to try this out. It supposedly contains micro-powders that blur pores so hopefully it will look flawless!

Have you picked up anything new recently?
