Actually, I almost didn't get anything at all: I'm so used to us getting the collections way after the US that I wasn't expecting it to be released before a couple of weeks. I randomly discovered last week-end that it was already available, and some of the items were already out of stock on the Mac french website (which I can't use for order but I do use for reference).
So, I knew I had to do a quick move - the Summer mineralize products always being my favorite Mac collection of the year, I didn't want to miss it.
I sent an e-mail to a friend of mine who lives in Paris, I knew she was going to haul for herself as well, and she kindly agreed to take care of my wish-list.
We met yesterday in France for some serious makeup shopping (other post coming on that) and she brought my stuff; here's what I got:
(the items on the left are Blackberry eyeshadow and a B2M lipstick)
Since I had to pick the items without having seen them in real life, I actually found inspiration in Lollipop26's haul.
I got I like it like that lipstick, Happy Together blush and 2 eyeshadow trios, In the Groove and Soften the Mood. Here's a close-up of the powder products, for your eyes only:
Although all the eyeshadows and blushes looked very pretty, I feel like I got the ones that are the most unique in regards to my collection. I didn't pick any MSF because I have several already, as well as other similar products, and I find I don't use them enough to justify the purchase of a new one.
So, what did you guys get from this collection? Or did you pass on this one?
I got By Candlelight & Stereo Rose MSFs and Hang Loose blush. All are pretty, though I wish Hang Loose had a touch more color. I got it to use on the apples of my cheeks, which I can, but to get enough color
ReplyDeleteI have to go quite heavy (or use it over something).
I also found By Candlelight to have a bit too much color to use as a true highlight on my superpale skin. I already had Perfect Topping (which also fits into that category for me) so I really should have returned By Candlelight, but...well...you know!
@ Jessica: lol, I know. I saw By Candlelight in real life yesterday, they still had it in stock, but I have Perfect Topping and Porcelain Pink, I felt it was too similar.
ReplyDeleteI posted mine yesterday. I got the Stereo Rose, Jazzed, Hang Loose, and Soften the mood eyeshadow. Great hual xx
ReplyDeleteI agree..the eyeshadow colors are not particularly unique but are very pretty and wearable in this collection. Very nice haul. Thanks for sharing!
