Weekend Haul

This weekend I picked up a few new things from the MAC collection release of a Tartan Tale. The Holiday collection was less than impressive, only the Pearlglides actually striking an interest in me. Both blushes seemed dupable and pretty close to other colors already in my collection like NARS Gina (a dupe for My Highland Honey) and Rock and Republic's Kinky and Smashbox's Radiance (both dupes for Her Blooming Cheek). I only walked away with one Pearlglide in Petrol Blue- a stunning navy with blue sparkle, and The Faerie Glen lipstick, a creamy nude. I aslo had to pick up a few things for my Halloween costume so I got three Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liners in Air Guitar, Metal Head and Baked. These glitter liners are absolutely perfect for adding glitter to a look without the messy fallout. The payoff is excellent- all you need is one or two swipes for rich color and the full size tubes are huge (these things will last forever!).  I also ordered an Obsessive Cosmetic Lip Tar in Hush, which is my new favorite lip to wear. Not only is the color amazing (a light nude/pink) but it stays on for hours! Pictured below are swatches of the products and my Face of the Day using Petrol Blue eyeliner and The Faerie Glen lipstick.

  2. @Sandy- Innocence Beware leans a little cooler, a little more pink while the Faerie Glen has a touch more brown in it. Hope that helps!

  4. I really didn't like this collection either. The only thing that caught my eye was the Fairy Glen lipstick, but I have so many already. Hopefully it will go to the CCO, so I won't feel too guilty about getting it. Great PICK!

  8. I'm loving the lipstick!

    I saw some of the Tartan Tale items, and I'm not really interested either. Also the whole plaid pattern seems a bit stereotypical >_<"

  9. I think a lot of people would agree about the MAC collection and to be honest i'd probably be tempted to buy an item or two just because of the packaging - I adore tartan :)

    Everyone seems to be buying lip tars at the min - I like the colour you've chosen, it looks so pretty and girly
