Shop MAC, Cook MAC & Viva Glam Nicki

The day Shop MAC, Cook MAC and Viva Glam Nicki launched online I was feeling smug on Twitter saying that I wasn't going to buy anything. Oh how wrong I was! 


From the Shop MAC, Cook MAC collection I picked up one of the Tendertones in Purring.


This smells deliciously fruity! I can see why people love these. I don't normally like balms in pots but I can make an exception for this. It's moisturising, glossy and sheer.


I also bought Innocence, Beware!



I thought this would be too light for me but when I swatched it I thought it would be fine. It's a creamy pinky-peachy-nude. I've tried it once since buying it and I like it so far. 


To counteract the fact I bought another nude lipstick, I had to buy a bright pink one, right? 



Say hello to Viva Glam Nicki! I read countless posts on this and had decided that I didn't want/need it but I totally caved when I was in the store. It is crazy bright on me but I kind of love it. Maybe this will be my next library lipstick!


Here are a couple of swatches:


L-R: VG Nicki, Innocence, Beware! 


Have you picked up anything from the new-ish MAC collections/releases?

P.s. I was going to post a 'weekly make up' post today but I think those are getting a little boring so I'm going to take a few weeks' break from doing those. I've bought some really nice new products lately so I'm finding it difficult to limit myself to specific products!

  2. Ooooh you got Nicki! I'm very tempted to get this next time I'm in a MAC store - not sure it's the perfect pink for me as I gravitate towards blue-pinks but can't resist the brightness...I think this will really suit you, lovely colour for summer (and the library of course) x

    1. It is quite a warm pink but I don't think it'll look bad on anyone as long as it's paired with the right make up and you wear it with pride, which I'm sure you will!xx
