MAC Counter Mini-Spree!

The other day, I went meandering through Macy's and somehow ended up where I always do... the MAC counter. I usually don't buy department store makeup frequently, and when I do, it's usually just an eyeshadow or a lipgloss. However, this time I became jaded by the fact that I have a job now so I decided to go on a mini-spree. Now, this was my first and will be my last MAC spree. My bank account will thank me later.

Anyway, despite me going broke on this addicting habit, I decided to share my spree with you. This is called a "haul" across the online makeup community. People make YouTube videos dedicated to showing the world their latest makeup purchases, often from the latest collections. My "haul" isn't on any limited edition collections, but on some tried-and-true staples that every girl needs.

I got 2 eyeshadows in Sumptuous Olive and Woodwinked. Both have Veluxe Pearl finishes, which are soft and luxurious (very similar to the texture of NARS eyeshadows). Also, I decided to give Mineralize a try with a blush in Love Joy. Finally, to top of my makeup ensemble, I got Plushglass (my first one) in Big Kiss. Everything I got looks great in combination, so I'm very happy with my purchase. The colors are classic and wearable (I don't splurge on bright colors, only bronzes, coppers, golds, browns and other natural tones).

I swatched everything so you can see how they look. I applied the shadows and blush onto Urban Decay Primer Potion.

I am wearing Plushglass in Big Kiss. This is said to have a plumping effect and it definitely works! My lips look bigger than normal here.
Well.. now I can say I did a haul post!
Regardless, I will have a look with these new colors posted soon!
