My Top 5 Favourite MAC Products

So following my general top 5 favourite products (HERE) I decided I would do the same but with MAC! 

Most people that know me know that I am just slightly obsessed with MAC, I just rate the brand really highly and I love the quality of their products. 

My first product is one that I wasn't too in love with when I first bought, but now I am madly in love with, and that is the Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle. 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle

This is a powder highlighter which leaves the skin with a gorgeous healthy glow and is picked up a lot by sunlight, making you look radiant and gorgeous! I apply this to the tops of my cheek bones and on my Cupid's bow. 

Next one is the lipstick in Lady Danger. 

MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger

This is a bright orange-red in a matte finish. What I love about this is that though it is matte finish, it doesn't dry out the lips, it actually feels quite moisturising. It is such a bright colour which I love! Definitely not one for the faint hearted. 

MAC's 217 Blending Brush is the most amazing brush ever as you can do so much with it.

Now generally I just apply and blend my eyeshadow with it, however you can also use it to apply highlighter, concealer, to contour... I suppose anything! You can only really use a natural hair brush, like this, with powder products, however this actually handles really well also with cream products too. 

The eyeshadow in the shade 'Expensive Pink' is definitely MACs most unique product that they sell.

It is a gorgeous coral pink with gold shimmer and it suits every skin tone. I love how wearable this is for both day and night. Its gorgeous! 

And my final product is another lipstick in the shade Russian Red. 

Again a matte finish, it is a blue-toned red which is perfect for a retro look (I used it in my retro glam makeup tutorial HERE). Alike Lady Danger, this is VERY long lasting, especially when worn with a lip liner underneath.

Beauty Products of the Day! -- Saturday 13th April 2013

Aloha lovelies! I thought I'd share with you the things that I've used on my hair/face/body today and I've decided I'm going to try and do this most days or at least a couple times a week!

TRESemme Heat Defence Spray Now I used this before I blow-dried my hair and before I straightened it. I also used the TRESemme Shampoo and Conditioner before but I'm not sure what they are called... But anyway, it stops my hair being extremely frizzy, makes it easier to handle and protects it from the nastiness of heat.

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave In Conditioner My hair was really tangeled today when I got out of the shower, so it made it a lot easier to comb my hair through with this in it. It softens my hair and smells AMAZING.

Nivea Creme -- I used this as my moisturiser today as my skin was very dry this morning, however it has infact made it quite oily!

Revlon ColourStay Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin in Sand Beige -- my favourite foundation, you all know that (I mention it so much).

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in 02 Light -- my favourite concealer - you all know this too!

MUA Pro Base Concealer Palette in Natural -- I don't really like this palette much as a concealer, but I used the darkest shade as a slight contour because it is too dark.

MAC Lustre Drops in Pink Rebel -- I used this as a highlight on the tops of my cheekbones - it's gorgeous.



Rimmel Stay Matte Powder -- now I don't have an image with this because 1. the writing has all came off and 2. It smashed so looks a tad messy!

MAC Fix+ Spray -- The usual makeup setter - I think everyone has this. I also use this on my hair too to make it feel softer.

MAC Eyeshadow in Brun -- Again, the usual. I use this all the time because it is a really great colour for me.

Sleek MakeUP Au Naturel Palette -- I used the shade 'Taupe' all over the lid, 'Toast' in the crease and 'Nougat' as an inner corner highlight. I then used 'Noir' over the black gel liner...

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black -- to create a cat eye. It is very smooth and easy to apply.

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara in Extra Black -- This mascara was used first to thicken my lashes.

Maybelline The Falsies Black Drama Mascara -- I then used this mascara to lengthen the lashes.

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Red Dynamite -- You don't need to spend lots on lip liners - this one cost my £3 and it is very good, very pigmented.

MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger -- I think this has to be my new favourite lipstick... Sorry MAC Russian Red!

Marc Jacobs Oh Lola! Perfume -- I mentioned this in my disappointing products post, only because it doesn't have great longevity, however I still love the scent.

Soap & Glory The Daily Smooth Body Butter -- for the super duper dry skin on my poorly post-surgery hands.


Ooookaay! A slightly different post for you there -- hope you're all having a lovely day whatever you are doing!
Lots of love xx
