My MAC Collection

I just wanted to start this post off by saying that in no way am I bragging about the products that I own from MAC.
I just simply really enjoy looking at what MAC products other people own and I thought that maybe you all would like to see as well! 
I don't really own that many in my opinion. But to some of you, you may think I own a lot, or you may think I don't compared to some peoples collections! 


So anyway, this is basically an over look at all of the MAC products I own right now.







(I have a couple more products on the way, which are Hibiscus Kiss and RiRi Boy)










Face
Breaking it down into categories (sounding very organised haha!), I thought I would show you my face products first.


I use the Studio Fix Fluid in NW20. 
This is such an amazing foundation! It is a medium to full coverage and can definitely hide any blemishes and redness.
I also use the Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium.
This has got to be my holy grail face powder! Even using it with other foundations it just makes your face look flawless and it does last all day without fail my skin will usually never look shiny! The best about this product is that although it can be a little pricey, it's more than worth it because it seriously lasts me about a good 4 months!

Blusher

From left to right, these blushers are:
'Peachykeen'
'Dame'
'Mocha'

Peachykeen was my very very first product that I bought from MAC! I do love it, but it's just a very bright colour and you seriously only need the smallest amount with it!

Dame is a little bit more wearable, it still is a little on the brighter pink side but honestly, it just looks lovely on the cheeks.

Mocha is the one I tend to lean for most as you can see by the massive dent in the blusher! It is more of a subtle colour and looks a bit more natural than the other two blushers.



(I got a little bit confused which way around I put the products when I took the photo's so the swatches aren't the same way around as what the first photo is, whoops!)

Paintpots
On the left we have 'Painterly' and on the right is 'Soft Ochre'.
Painterly was my first painpot, just for the simple fact that it was raved about so much on YouTube as the best colour base for eye shadow. But, although I do really love it, it doesn't really mach my skin tone very well considering it is meant to be the one that is most 'like skin'.
My favourite however, which is the one I will use 9 times out of 10, is Soft Ochre. I just feel that it is a much more natural look on my skin, especially as I apply it all over my lid, and if I don't apply eye shadow very high, then you cant even really tell that I'm wearing the paintpot because it is such a good skin colour match for me.


Eye Shadow
From left to right:
'A Natural Flirt'
'Pink Venus'
'Star Violet'
'Embark'

I tend to use A Natural Flirt along with Embark during the day for more of a natural look, or I will use Pink Venus instead of A Natural Flirt just to add a little bit of colour.
I will usually only wear Star Violet if I'm going somewhere on a night time, either somewhere like clubbing or a party, just because I think it's so dramatic that I don't really dare to wear it during the day. Although I would probably say this is my favourite shadow because it just really makes my hazel eyes stand out amazingly!

Lipstick
Ahhhhhh, the lipsticks! My most favourite item from MAC to buy! Anyway to the point...

From left to right:
'Girl Next Door' (Lustre)
'Snob' (Satin)
'Creme Cup' (Cremesheen)
'Speed Dial' (Cremesheen)
'Viva Glam Nicki' (Satin)
'RiRi Woo' (Retro Matte)


I enjoy using all these lipsticks, I would say though my favourites would have to be Speed Dial and RiRi Woo.
Girl Next Door doesn't have much colour payoff with it being a lustre, but it does just add a little pink colour to the lips.
Snob can be drying on my lips, and it really can look awful if I don't moisturise my lips because it can pick up on all the nasty little cracks in my lips which, lets be honest, does not look flattering in the slightest!
Creme Cup is just a colour which all I can basically describe it as is my lips but better. It is almost the same colour as my lips but just makes them look so much nicer and healthier!
Speed Dial is a more of a brighter pink, but not too bright. I like to use this when I want a little colour to my lips but nothing too drastic!
Viva Glam Nicki is a very bright pink. I wear this now and again, but it's not one of my everyday lipsticks.
RiRi Woo. Where do I even begin to describe my love for this lipstick?! It is just such an amazing red on my lips, and I will never stop wearing it! You can read my review on RiRi Woo here.

Highlighter
I honestly think these will probably last me my entire life!
On the left is 'Soft and Gentle' and on the right is 'Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte'
Soft and Gentle has tiny tiny glitters in it, which I like to use if I'm going out anywhere, again, like clubbing or going to a party as it really highlights the top of my cheekbones. 
But, on any normal day that I wear makeup I will use Veronica's Blush because it is just so beautiful! It just looks like a healthy glow on the face and doesn't look too overpowering which makes it more amazing!
Unfortunately Veronica's Blush Pearlmatte was from the Archie's Girls collection and is no longer available from the MAC website.
