MAC Haul! Whisper of Gilt is back!

Good afternoon my sweets! Today is a great day! Not because it's Friday - but because today was the day my MAC delivery came and I have been waiting and waiting for it so desperately! 

Of course I couldn't wait to tell you all about one of the products I bought so as soon as my delivery came I was on it taking pictures for this post as I wanted to upload the post ASAP (by ASAP I mean 4 hours after my parcel was delivered).

If you're a MAC junkie you will remember Whisper of Gilt which was a highlighter that everyone loved but it was limited edition and was discontinued. HOWEVER, it has been brought back in this years MAC Christmas Collection in the Nutcracker Sweet Copper Face Compact along with Extra Dimension Blush in Pleasure Model which is also STUNNING. So if you never got your hands on Whisper of Gilt before or you're running out - now is the time to grab it! Check out the swatch of Whisper of Gilt at the bottom of this post it's insane! I'm so grateful that my friend works at MAC otherwise I would have had no clue that this product was out!

Along with the Nutcracker Sweet Copper Face Compact, I also picked up the Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara. I purchased this because Jaclyn Hill raves about how good it is for lower lashes and I hate using a chunky mascara wand for my lower lashes because it can be quite messy, so hopefully this will be amazing!

If you know me you know how much I love orange eyeshadows, anything orange or warm brown and I need it. Rule is such a beautiful eyeshadow it's a bright orange but a bit peachy too! I can't wait to get this on my lids!

Recently I've been seeing a lot of makeup artists use the MAC 109 brush for foundation! It seems to give a flawless finish so I picked up this brush so I can give this a go!

Last but not least I purchased the MAC Warm Neutrals eyeshadow palette. This is a palette ready made with 15 full size eyeshadows. Obviously I had to get the warm palette! I haven't purchased any MAC eyeshadows in a very long time so I'm excited to try these colours which I've not used before! Plus the palette was reduced from £65 to £49.50 which is a bargain for eyeshadows that are £10 each individually!

I was also very kindly given a sample of the Pro Eye Makeup Remover, I've never tried any MAC skincare before so I'll see how I get on with this!

MAC, Morphe and NYX Haul

Good morning! I do love Friday mornings, purely because I'm lucky enough to have Friday's off (even though they're usually spent catching up on college work). I was looking at my makeup yesterday morning and realised how many new products I've bought recently that I haven't yet talked about! There was too many to put in a single haul but here are a few of my favourites that have made it into this post.

So I'll start with the Morphe Gel Liner in Slate. I use the MAC gel liner in Blacktrack but it's started to go a bit dry and crumbles when I apply it (not glam) so I invested in this Morphe one just to try it out! I'm so impressed with it because it's so creamy and so black which is exactly what I wanted and it's cheaper and works just as good as my MAC one! I thought that because the liner was so creamy that it would transfer onto my lids but it didn't so i'm very impressed with this liner! 

Of course there had to be a brush involved! I'm always on the hunt for new brushes and when I purchased the Morphe E23 brush I knew I probably wasn't going to get on with it as a blending brush. The best tip I can give is that natural bristles are better for blending eyeshadows than synthetic bristles. As this is a synthetic brush I knew I would find some use for it, what I like using this brush for is applying and blending out cream eyeshadows, the bristles are thicker and can properly blend out the cream seamlessly. 

I'm a sucker for lip pencils especially MAC ones but I picked up two of these NYX lip pencils in the shades nude pink and nude truffle. Nude pink is good to pair with nude pink (no comment) lipsticks or applied all over the lips and a gloss on top looks good too! The lipliners are a bit dry they're definitely not my favourite but they're good for the price that they are. 

Next up are my new MAC lipsticks! I don't know what it is but there is definitely something that excites me about a new MAC lipstick! The shades are from left to right Stone, Whirl, Kinda Sexy and Brave. 

Stone is a cool toned dark brown, matte lipstick. Very 90s, I'm so on that vibe. 

Whirl is a mauve matte lipstick, which kind of has a brownish undertone. I love this lipstick it's a statement but still a nude shade. 

Kinda Sexy is a peachy pink nude matte lipstick, peachy toned lipsticks are not my thing but with spring coming up I'm determined to make myself wear these colours because they're so beautiful!

Last but not least is Brave which is a perfect medium pink satin lipstick, again perfect for spring coming up!

My MAC lipstick collection has more than doubled since my last MAC lipstick collection post so if an updated collection post would interest anyone feel free to comment and let me know. See you soon!
