MAC Eyeshadow Palette

Following my Swindon Beauty Haul, I feel like I should do a collection of my MAC eyeshadows. 

I started my MAC palette in November, I know I have a lot, considering that's like four months. BUT. Three of my eyeshadows were bought from a outlet centre. And the rest of them were bought from my sister who has a MAC pro card so she got it cheaper. She gave some to me for my birthday and christmas, and my mum used the card to also give me some. I'm a lucky gal! 

Top Row: Yoghurt, Naked Lunch, All that Glitter, Honey Lust, Amber Lights

I couldn't swatch yoghurt because it wouldn't show up that well, but it looks beaaautiful on the eyes.

Second Row: Patina, Charcoal Brown, Mystery, Satin Taupe, Club and Black Tied.

My favourites are Naked Lunch, Charcoal Brown, Satin Taupe and Club! 

I absolutely adore my MAC palette and get so much use out of it. I use all the shades so I do get my moneys worth. Overall, I really rate MAC eyeshadows and I'd definitely recommend them!

Top 5 Beauty Favourites of 2014

Ooooh, the big one, the yearly favourites!

I feel as though 2014 has been the making of me in terms of beauty wise. Sure, I used a foundation the odd couple of times and I quite liked the mascara that was a fiver. But this year I grew my collection massively, especially in regards to Benefit. Benefit was the first high end brand I wanted to buy from. I would steal my sister's "They're Real" mini mascara whenever I had the chance. Now, I own a hella of a lot from there and I own MAC and Urban Decay. Lipsticks were never a main priority for me, and now I can't stand to be apart from my collection. Without further or do,  let's get into it!

Benefit The Porefessional Primer
I had never even used a primer until this.. how crazy! When I first went to Benefit, the lady put this on me. Of course I'd heard about it and the reviews were crazy, but could it really work? Did it actually make my pores look smaller, my skin smoother? YES! I absolutely love this primer, as a girl with oily skin and a lifeguard on a boiling hot poolside, I feel my makeup stays on a lot more. And I love it!

MAC lipstick in Hue
You know that lipstick that you wondered what you did before you had it? This is mine. This is my go to, everyday, perfect, nude. I thought "Yeah I'll like this" but I didn't expect to be obsessed with it. Which I truly am.

Benefit Coralista Blush
If you had told me at the start of the year, that I was going to buy a blush for £23.50, I probably would've laughed, hit you, and told you to jog on. But yes, I took the plunge and bought the beautiful box. It's without a doubt the nicest blusher I have ever used, it even has a nice smell. It looks so natural but so effortlessly gorgeous at the same time. Aaah, i just love it!

L'oreal Collection Exclusive Lipstick in Blake's Red
This year, I went out and reached for a red lipstick. Every girl needs one in her lipstick collection, I don't care what you say. I had MUA's Shade 1 before and yes it was nice for a quid. But this, is perfect. It's matte which screams for me to buy, as I am a matte girl. It glides onto the lips and just looks bloody gorgeous on. I hear it is a dupe for Ruby Woo by a MAC by the way.


L'oreal True Match Foundation
Late to the game I know, but I don't give into hypes very easily, e.g. Benefit Porefessional ;) but I thought hey ho, let's buy it. And I'm so glad I did! It's a matte finish, mediumish coverage, and a perfect skin match for me. I'm in N2!
