My first MAC purchase!

Hey everyone! I want to preface this post by saying that I bought all these products with my own money. I am not trying to brag because my subscribers and Twitter followers wanted to see this haul.

I will link the video that goes with this post here:


I wanted to take the time to post this blog so that I am able to fully describe each product. I didn't want the video to drag on. I am going to post a photo of each product along with a swatch and full description.

This is a pic of the full haul!



Paintpots-
Left to Right- Bare Study, Rubenesque, Groundwork, Painterly.
Bare Study (frost)- Shimmery beige - could be used a face highlight
Rubenesque (frost)- Golden shimmery peach
Groundwork (satin)- Dark brown taupe
Painterly (cream)- Nude beige, this is close to my skin tone so I use it to prime under eyes before I put my concealer on.


Left to Right- Moleskin, Charcoal Brown, Cork.
Moleskin (matte)- from the Mac me over Collection. Nude brown, great for blending.
Charcoal Brown (matte)- Taupe golden muted brown
Cork (satin)- Light golden brown


Left to Right- Sable, All that Glitters, Satin Taupe, Shroom.
Sable (frost)- Plumy bronze
All that Glitters (veluxe pearl)- Golden pinky beige, very golden. Great for brightening up the lid.
Satin Taupe (frost)- Dark taupe with silver shimmers
Shroom (satin)- Light shimmery beige, great for inner corner highlight.


Sparkle Neely Sparkle! (velvet)-  From the Blogger's Obsession Collection. This is such an intricate color that I had to describe it alone. It's a deep rusty matte brown with what looks like to gold, orange and green shimmers. The website says champagne shimmers, but it's much more that. HIGHLY recommend. You can still get this online for a short time. Here's the link- http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/154/363/Eye-Shadow/index.tmpl


Left to Right- Brule, Smut, Club, Carbon
Brule (satin)- Soft creamy beige, good for a matte highlight. I'm medium skin tone and it's not showing up.
Smut- Muted black, looks purple in the pan. Also a mix between black, grey and brown.
Club- again a very intricate color, reddish brown duochrome with green shimmer. This color can be either green or brown depending on the lighting.
Carbon (matte)- Dark matte black

Top to Bottom- 217, 219
217- Blending brush, great for applying paintpots, color in the crease and perfect for blending.
219- pencil brush, perfect for applying color in the inner corner or under the lower lash line.

Hope you enjoyed! I hope you will tune in for the video too.
