Mac. Naked Lunch & Satin Taupe

Swatches (Satin Taupe (left) Naked Lunch (right))

If I remember correctly these two e/s were the first ones I purchased from Mac.

They both are gorgeous and compliment each other well.

For everyday looks I usually have Naked Lunch as a wash over my lids since its quick and simple to do.

Whereas if I'm going out for dinner etc I will add Satin Taupe to my crease just to add depth.

Mac eye shadows in general last me ages so in my opinion they are definitely worth the investment.

Mac Ladyblush

Mac Ladyblush Cremeblush

I've had this little treasure for quite a while (and seemed to have made quite a mess of it!).

Its a gorgeous pink colour which gives a nice flush to the cheeks when applied.

The texture is nice and smooth and easy to work with.

I have very dry skin so cream blushes are great for this.

I apply it with either my fingers or my Mac 188 brush.

What do you guys think to Macs cream blushes?

I've seen this on quite a few blogs and I really liked the colour of it. I didn't intend to buy it but today I was in town and I popped to my local Mac counter in Debenhams. I swatched it on my hand, 'ummm' and 'arrr' about it and left the shop to have a think. When I was outside I couldn't stop looking at my hand, the colour was gorgeous. I pootling around Zara and I came to the decision that yes I did indeed want it.

I went back to Mac and asked the mua if there was any left and she said yes but only a couple, (hooray).

So I left with my new little blusher.

One of the reasons that I wanted this was because I don't actually own anything like it.

The colour and formula is great and I seriously can't wait to wear this when I have a tan.

What do you guys think to it?

Mac Face and Body Foundation

This foundation is utterly amazing.

I had to wanted to try it for ages, I mean like a year, but always put off ordering one. I bought my bottle back in November 2011 when I went to London. It is only sold in free-standing Mac stores so I jumped at the chance when I was in Carnaby Street. The mua put it on me and I knew there and then I HAD to get it.

Its around the £25 mark but in my eyes it is totally worth since you are getting 120ml (typical foundations are 30ml). So this bad boy will last you forever.

My shade is C2 if you guys were wondering. Its a smidge darker than my pale face atm but its perfect for when I use my face tanner. It really doesn't matter if this isn't a perfect match to your skin. Since it just blends right in. No big orange streaks.

Usually when I wear other foundations I can feel them sitting on my skin and I'm so paranoid that people will notice I am wearing it. However this is not the case with F&B. It honestly feels like a second skin, so light! When its first applied it is very runny, as you can see, but when working into the skin it transforms into a paste and coverage can be built up, which is fantastic!

All in all this is fabulous and I will totally be buying another one when this one runs out

(without a shadow of a doubt!).

Have you guys tried Mac's F&B?
