Mac Haul / Review

MAC Prep + Prime / MSF Soft & Gentle 

I was having a wander around Brown Thomas in Galway a few weeks ago when i spotted the MAC counter and made a run for it! (literally). I have been lusting over these two for months, trying to decide whether they were really worth the money or not and since my lovely boyfriend decided to treat me so i jumped at the chance! :)

MAC Prep & Prime in "Radiant Rose" 

I have only been using this for a few weeks and i'm already in love! If you are looking for an amazing under eye highlighter i would highly recommend giving this a go! I do the ever-so-famous upside down triangle under my eye area, two strokes on my forehead, down my nose and a dot on my chin. I use either a BeautyBlender or a triangle foundation sponge to press it into my skin for the best effect. I use this as my last step in my make up routine, i find it brilliant for after i do my eye make up to clean up fall out, and to just generally brighten after my foundation. I have went through so many highlighters and i have never came across one as good as this. I really can notice a difference after i apply it. I set it with a white brightening powder for the best and most long lasting effect. I feel like my foundation routine isn't complete without it, my new holy grail i think! :) Most definitely a repurchase! 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in "Soft & Gentle"

I was a bit hesitant to get this one as i didn't really know if it was all it was cracked up to be but i said i'd give it a go. I use this after i have already contoured and done my blush, i dust a light swipe above where i put my blush, down my nose and on my brow bone. If i have lipstick on or even a gloss i put a dab on my cupids bow, which gives your lips a bit of a fuller look. The only downfall i have with this product is tiny trickles of glitter go everywhere! i don't mind a bit of shimmer but glitter all over my face is a major no-no! I like the dewy effect it gives, especially with flash photography. When i went in to my this they had just released a new MSF but it had alot more pinky undertones, which in result would of just acted as a blush and not a highlighter. I would definitely try another shade but one with not as much glitter!
