I'm feeling a little fragile today after a very late night and a lot of Rose consumption (is it just me or does Rose give the WORST next day headache's! Argh) but I wanted to share with you my purchases from the new MAC Fashion Flower collection. As you can see I've also found a place indoors with light and a white background to photograph on. My photos are now starting to look a lot better and I don't have to run around my garden with make-up under one arm and camera under the other.
On paper both the Semi Precious and Fashion Flower collection's really excited me but I just wasn't amazed by either when swatched by others. The Semi Precious mineralize eye shadows sound and look amazing in but the supposed fall out just made the product a bit useless in my opinion. I can't get to a MAC store easily at all so for limited edition items that are likely to sell out quickly I have to do my research and just go for it. Makes things a little trickier.
I decided to purchase Ever Hip lipstick (reprobate from Liberty of London collection so you might already have it) and the Light Sunshine beauty powder.
First of all, how pretty is the flower pattern? I am such a sucker for pretty girly pink things so this powder is right up my street. Although it did hurt my heart a little to swatch this and watch the little flowers disappear. As you can see above Light Sunshine is a light pink shimmery beauty powder, it's very pale but this is perfect for my skin (not sure it will be quite right for those with darker skin tones). It's a great little highlighter though, sorry it doesn't really show up very well in the first photo below.
Apologies that my nails look a bit mank, I'm wearing Model's Own Nude Beige and photographed from behind it just makes my nails look a bit dirty.
The second purchase I made was Ever Hip lipstick. I ummed and ahhed about whether to go for this or Mlle but decided after a little researching that Ever Hip was one of those lipsticks that has a lot of hype surrounding it. I am so glad I made this pick, the lipstick is amazing! It's a gorgeous peachy colour that I never would have thought I could pull off but I adore it. It's a creamsheen finish so it's a gorgeous glossy lippie, they are very quickly becoming my favourite MAC lipstick types. I've just had a look and it's sold out online but if you can find it in your nearest MAC store then you definitely should pick it up. It's been one of the most exciting lipsticks I've found in a long time.
I'd love to know what you guys picked up from this collection. I'm tempted by a few of the eyeshadows in the Fashion Flower collection but think my wallet might cry. I'm now off to carry on my Harry Potter movie marathon, I'm trying to watch all of them again before I go and see the new one. I definitely need to get out more! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend.
xoxo
