Hello you lovely lot,
I always get a pump to go with it out of habit.
P.s. if any of you know of a lovely brush roll please let me know as I'm in dire need of a new one.
Today is a great day because I've just purchased some long over due MAC items. It's sort of a to me from me Easter gift. The sight of my goody bag below makes me smile instantly, so although my bank balance may now not feels so cheery I am:
Everyone needs nudes and earth tones in their eye shadow palette, but I think I take this concept to the extreme. If I'm completely honest I'm a kind of play it safe girl. I don't tend to flirt with bold colours, they just don't appeal to me. One day I'll be more adventurous, promise. Here are the eye shadows I purchased today:
Brule
Naked Lunch
Sorry about the lack of swatches, they weren't showing too well on my phone camera. Will add them when my new camera arrives. On a side note both of these are beautiful shadows and I'd say key staple colours to have in a palette. If I could recommend only one, I'd narrowly say Brule. Brule is a matte colour whereas naked lunch is more sheer and shimmery. They're both everyday shadows. Great on their own for a simple look or great teamed with others to make a more sophisticated eye.
I used to work from Mac pots, so as I'm making the switch to pans I had to buy myself a trusty mac palette. De-potting here I come!
This holds 15 shadows.
The actual product I went in for was the Studio Fix fluid foundation as I fancied a change from my regular foundation. I got this in shade NC15 however, when I start to tan up I will be swapping to NW15. If you're unsure about if you're NC/NW and what shade you should be using ask the staff in store.

Then I picked up another 190 foundation brush, I have no reasoning behind this other than I love it so much and it works well with the foundation. (Even the MUA in MAC said so herself.)
And, that's it. :)
And, that's it. :)
So a fond farewell

I know, but I'm never normally this bad. :/ I was like that for ages with naked lunch too but, made the plunge yesterday. I think it's so pretty, but not in a WOW!I'm here way. It's kind of understated.
