Haul: Mac cosmetics

I'm currently in my home town and we have Mac there!! Of course I had to make a visit and purchase some new goodies ;)
My goal was to find some lipsticks, lip glosses and lip pencils to use for the wedding. In my head I know exactly how I want my lip color to be, but what lip products to use to get that... I don't know yet.
I want my lips to be nude - but not Creme de Nude - nude. Not porn star nude... I want some shimmer to the color and more to the cold/blue neutral undertones, than orange and brown.

So this is what I got:




Picture on the left is outside, no flash. Picture on the right is inside with flash.










When I got these lipsticks I was thinking of combining them with lipliners to get the perfect color I want. So these are more of a great base color.
But here are some bad qualitypictures of them on the lips - just as they are.



















The pictures are taken inside, with flash, so they don't really do justice to the true lipstick colors. This is slightly over exposed.

I also got two lipglosses; Ample Pink, Oyster Girl, a lip pencil; Dervish and Mac Prep + Prime for lips.












I'm loving the Ample Pink because it's such a beautiful neutral pink to wear all on it's own. Oyster girl is perfect to use on lipsticks you want to lighten and brighten up!

The eyeshadows I got was two staples and one new.
This is my second Satin taupe and third Brulé. - Those are holy grails for me. The third one: Twinks is a color I've been thinking for almost two years that I already own!? How could I have missed this color?? It a gorgeous burgundy brown. I love it!










So that is it!! :)
Thanks for dropping by! :)

Beautiful lipsticks! Love Fabby and Syrup. I also have the Ample Pink Plushglass, I put it over Angel and Snob, but it´s drying-out my lips ;( But maybe it´s just me, I´m addicted to lipgloss you know ;) and so my lips are always dry without!

Who doesn't love some hauling? Thank you for sharing, M. :) Love the colors, and it would be nice seeing the lipstick used for some full face shots as well. :)

I love your haul!!! My faves from your haul are Fanfare and Twinks, I need to find them right now! I'm looking forward to your looks with these colors, they are very pretty! :)

Oooh, pretty! :)
I think Fabby would be great for the look you 're going for...!

Fanfare looks more bold, but it's such a stunning pink, I think I need to add it to my wishlist! :)

Dødsbra og gratulerer.
Jeg hadde en aldri så liten haul selv og fått beskjed om at de nu er shippet fra statene. Jeg fikk tak i 9 øyeskygger som lancome er i ferd med å avvikle.
Bare nøytrale til under 10 doller hver.Gleder meg til de kommer.

Some of the Mac lip products I find drying too. I haven't worn this enough to say that it does that on me too.. I hope not :(

Shamini:
You will, sweetie :)

I fell for Fanfare for the coral-y color to it! Such a pretty color :)

Fanfare is such a perfect pink for Summer. A cross between pink and coral :)

Resham:
I agree!:)

Anita:
You are very welcome :)

kirstyb:
Awww, so glad you finally found them then! :) Thank you for following! ♥

lillelambi:
Så gøy! Det har blitt en favoritt foundation å bruke for meg :) Veldig lik Mac i dekkevne, hvis du er kjent med den?
Hvis du ikke vil at den skal dekke så godt, så er den enkel å tynne ut ved å påføre den med en våt svamp f.eks.
Nå nærmer det seg for begge!! Woohoo!! ♥

These lip colours are exactly what I've been looking for! My favourite is the Fanfare. I may have to get that for myself.

Du, jeg twitrer ikke, men kommer til å lage en bloggpost ja, siden jeg er i ferd med å gå over til matt formula og kaster/gir bort alle øyeskyggene/lebestiftene i frost.
