MAC and Sephora Haul

Hey Everyone! So today I'm putting up some of the stuff I bought from MAC and Sephora over the past couple weeks/days. I actually never went to a MAC store before, I mean I bought their stuff online like the fluid line and the brush cleanser but that's about it. I decided to look around though and I think I really really love MAC now haha. They have very nice products and compared to name brands at Sephora they are actually cheaper, except maybe their brushes and lipgloss. Anyways, I like how the shop is set up; usually I don't like a sales person following me around or anything, but they don't do that there. They ask if you need help and then go on their way so you don't feel so pressured to buy anything. Ok, enough rambling let's get on to the haul.

Swatches will be at the end of the haul pictures.

Let's start with MAC stuff first:
  $18.50
Fleur Power Blush- this is a nice dark pink that is good for an everyday look, if you put it on sheerly it looks very nice.

$26

Mineralize Skinfinish Natural- This is nice for a light coverage and you can use it to set liquid foundation or just by itself.

$14
MACS Viva Glam in Cyndi (limited edition)- this is a redish orange color and its great for summer.

$14
MACS Viva Glam in Gaga(limited edition)- a bright pink, its hard to wear but you can tone it down with a nude lipgloss or a darker pink lipgloss.

Now onto Sephora makeup:
 $44(For entire set of 3 items)
This is the NARS So Famous Set: Comes with blush, lipliner and the multiple
* I do not have the multiple because my cousin and I split the cost so she got the multiple.
-She did say she LOVED the multiple though and I think it was in Deep Throat as well.


NARS Deep Throat Blush- this is a nice pink as well, it is lighter than the picture though so it's a nice everyday color as well. I think it would look nice on any skin tone.


NARS velvet lipliner in Bettina- this is a lipliner, sort of feels like a lipstick, I don't like it too much because it kinda defeats the purpose of a lipliner and kinda just blends in with the lipstick you're wearing. So I wouldn't spend the money for this lipliner.

$42
The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Deauville/Light 4- I originally bought the Sheer Matte, but I didn't like how it worked on my skin and I heard a lot of reviews about the Sheer Glow so I returned it to get this one. I really like this one better, it's easier to blend since it doesn't dry as fast and has a nice matte finish even though it does say "glow". I do think this is a tad lighter than my skintone but I think it looks good with my MAC powder since it makes it a bit darker.

$33
NARS Makeup Primer- Omgshhh, I love this primer. It is very easy to apply and feels like you're wearing water, honestly. So it isn't oily like other primers.

$25
Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer in Light- very good concealer! Especially for under eyes, it has buildable coverage for your scars and "tattoos" (I don't have any to try it on though haha).

$24
Dior Show in Black (waterproof)- This is my favorite mascara so I had to pick up another one. A lot of people do not like waterproof though because it clumps, but it works fine for me and I like my mascaras to be waterproof since I always seem to smudge my eye makeup.

$10(for mini size)
Benefit's BADgal Lash in black (mini)- I did not love this product actually, I heard that it was really great, but when I tried the mini it was very disappointing. If you were to purchase the $19 full size I would say its a waste of money since it did not give any volume to the eyelashes and made mine go flat. I will keep this mini size in my travel bag though just for touch ups.



Here are the swatches:

So hope this helps you guys in the future if you plan on buying any of these products.
