Mini M.A.C haul/review!

A few days ago, my roommate Paris and I did a mini Mac haul at Nordstroms and we came back with some amazing products! I'm awful I know, but it was my first time at the makeup counter (I usually buy online) and it was a really fun and unique experience... I highly recommend it. 

So originally I had gone in for a good eyebrow pencil but at the end of the day I left with no eyebrow pencil at all, but lipstick and foundation instead. 

MAC Up The Amp Lipstick 

I am not a very bold person, I tend to want to blend in and be more natural, so when the artist pulled this out for me I was hesitant. Bright pink lipstick would never be my thing. Or would it? 

Long story short, I tried it on and instantly fell in love! This shade is AMAZING. I have dark brown hair (yes I dyed it again) and pale skin and the lip color just added so much. I definitely would not hesitate to buy this product again. It applies nicely and lasts all day long. 

MAC Studio Tech Foundation 

I am a picky person when it comes to foundation. Before I purchase any type of foundation I will look up reviews weeks ahead of time and compare because a good foundation is really hard to come across, at least that works good with my skin. 

However, I took a leap of faith with this foundation because Paris could possibly be an expert in the area of makeup and she recommended I give it a try because it is her favorite. The Studio Tech Foundation covers up uneven skin tone and leaves a flawless, airbrushed look. Seriously. That's what nearly every foundation brand guarantees but this one really does do the trick. I highly recommend this foundation if you want a wonderful airbrushed look.

Makeup for glasses.

I wear both glasses and makeup in my everyday life and I assume that quite a few other people to do. Wearing a bunch of eye makeup and glasses together can be a tricky task though, as sometimes it can make your eyes look very tiny. Here is the way that I do my makeup to hopefully make my eyes pop more and look bigger. 

1- Moisturizer. I use Vaseline Intense Care, Aloe Soothe. It is great stuff and very light. 

2- Foundation. Revlon 24 Hours Colorstay. Natural beige 220 is the product that has fit my price needs and my makeup needs. 

3- Concealer. I love the Bare Minerals, light 1. I have pretty pale skin and that is the color that blends in the best. 

4- Powder. For the powder on top, I use the Bare Minerals light powder. Bare Minerals has yet to disappoint me with their products. 

5- Eye Liner. I line the upper lash line and the lower lash line (lightly) with L'Oreal espresso line gel. I've used a lot of is different types of eye liner but there is nothing quite like the gel. It works so much better than the pencil or liquid liner. 

6- Eyeshadow. Most of the time I go without eyeshadow but if I want to get all fancy then I use just a simple brown Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in the outer corners of my eyes and lightly underneath my eyes to soften the liner. 

7- Mascara. My favorite part! So far my two favorites for mascara have been Bare Essentials Big Tease and L'Oreal Voluminous Original. Both of those work wonders! 

8- Eyebrows. I love fixing my eyebrows up a little and the best product I use for that is the European Wax Center Milan Eyebrow Blend. It looks natural and just adds a fuller look to thinned out brows. 

9- Bronzer. Last but not least, the best makeup trick of all. Bronzer is great because it takes so little to do so much and even the cheaper bronzers work great. I just use New York Color Sun n' Bronze. Super cheap at Target and is amazing.
