This is how it looks like on me. It doesn't even look like an orange red, it just looks like red on me. Perfect match in my eyes. If you haven't already seen it in action, you can see it here, where I did collaboration with Tatjana from Taya My Little Beauty World. We did a modern twist on a classic makeup look. 

Which MAC lipstick shades are on your wish list?

I chose one of the very popular Mac shades and that is Patisserie. It's one of those colors that would suit pretty much anyone. If you know me, you know I really don't like pink lipsticks. This is the perfect mix of pink, orange and brown. I don't know how else to describe this shade, because it really is that mix of all those shades. Perfect for everyday wear. It also has tiny shimmer in it, which looks like it's gold. It's a luster finish, which means nice pigmentation with shine - perfect for me. Not drying at all. If you want to get one lipstick from Mac, I highly recommend this one.

It contains 3 grams of lipstick and costs 19.95€.

The next shade I decided to get is Velvet Teddy. It's supposedly the lipstick that Kyle Jenner has been wearing, while bringing back the 90s lip trends of brown lipsticks. I've always loved brown lipsticks, so this one was not a surprise in any way. It's warm orange based brown, which looks pretty dark on me. It could be someones nude shade, but my skin is too light for that. It's a matte finish, which means really pigmented and much more long lasting. I love the fact that it doesn't dry out my lips. All of the Mac lipsticks that I have are a joy to wear. I don't even feel like I have anything on. This is the shade for those, who also like brown lipsticks, but it may not be for everyone.

Both lipsticks have a very nice soft vanilla smell. I love it.

I also decided to get one of the blushes. Unfortunately most of them were sold out, but I still decided on the shade that it's very my kind of blush shade and that I know I'll be wearing a lot. I choose the Sheertone Blush in the shade Pinch Me. Sheertone finish is supposed to a more sheer formula, which can be build up. It doesn't have any shimmer in it, but it also doesn't look absolutely matte on the skin. It has a certain sheen to it. The shade is a mix of orange coral and dusty rose. It's a really pretty wearable shade. It would appeal to anyone who likes orange based blushes. It's super velvet on the touch and still pigmented enough. No fall out.

It contains 6 grams of blush and it cost me 22.95€.

I already have Pro Longwear in NC20, but it's way too dark for me, so I decided to purchase lighter shade - NC15. It's perfect for my winter fair skin. Now, it's still a little too light. It has pump and it's pretty creamy and thick. It dries to a matte velvet finish. I do find that this goes into the lines, if you're skin is more on the dry side. But I like the fact that it's medium to full coverage. It's also very long lasting and doesn't move at all, once it dries.

It contains 9 ml of product and costs 18.95€.

Here are the swatches in in the shadow and on direct sun. From left to right: Mac Pro Logwear concealer in NC15, Mac lipstick Patisserie, Mac lipstick Velvet Teddy and Mac Sheertone Blush in Pinch Me.

First I went in Douglas to buy some MAC and NYX products. Online I also saw that they had Zoeva brushes, but they didn't have them in the store. I was disappointed, because I really wanted to buy the brushes without the additional postage that comes with ordering them online.

From MAC I bought two lipsticks, one concealer and because I had that Zoeva-leftover-money I also bought one blush.

It's a Sheertone Blush in shade Pinch Me. In the pan it looks like a mauve shade, but it's actually a really nice sort of orange pink red. I can't explain it. It's a very natural matte shade. I wanted something that I can wear again an again. Very versatile and natural.

I also got lipstick in the shade Patisserie, which has a luster finish. It's a very well known shade, that is a nice mixture of pink, brown and peach. Also a very wearable my lips but better shade. I like that it's not typically pink, but looks more brown based on me.

The next lipstick I bought is Velvet Teddy, which has a matte finish. I admit, I'm loving the 90s trend of brown lipsticks that is coming back this season. I guess you may have seen Kyle Jenner rocking this MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick on daily occasions. I loved the shade on her and since I love brown lipsticks in general, I decided to get it. It's beautiful warm peach based brown, that would be my lips but better shade for darker skin tones. On me it's pretty dark.

I also got Pro Longewear Concealer in NC15. A while ago, I bought NC20, which is way too dark for me. I admit, I didn't like it under the eyes, but I do love the medium to full coverage that it gives every else on the face. So I decided to buy lighter shade and maybe mix it with the darker shade for the summer.

Douglas also had NYX products. Since I also can't get these in my country, I was very excited. I really wanted their blush in Taupe, but of course it was sold out. Such a shame. I saw their butter glosses and bought one. I did hope to find their matte versions of lip glosses, but no luck. 

I also got Butter Gloss in the shade Apple Strudel. Decision was pretty hard, because all of the lip glosses looked very pink and I am not a fan of pink. So, I went for the most peachy shade among them. It still looks a bit too pink for my taste. But hey, at least I got one. Maybe I'll find a use of layering it over some lipsticks.

I also saw that they have the Color Show range of nail polishes and got two shades for fall. One is called 549 Midnight Taupe. Names Maybelline? How refreshing to see:). It's a basic taupe shade.

Price: 2.39€

I also got it in the shade 677 Blackout, which is a regular black shade.

You may know I'm obsessed with Maybelline Color Tattoos. When I saw the golden shade called 05-Eternal Gold, I got it. It's a beautiful a bit too much yellow based gold shade. I hope the formula is just as good as other shimmery tattoos.

I also thought that there will be The Body Shop, but it was closed. Damn you. I was so excited for nothing. Maybe next time..

You can not go to Graz and not stop at Ikea. This was only my second time in Ikea, so I was excited. The problem was, that we got their a bit late, so a lot of quick browsing and walking was involved in the process. I need a whole day, to see it all and process it. I did have a list of things I wanted and I actually found it all.

This is a three piece sort of organizational insert for drawers. I am planing to keep my makeup in this.

Those were some really cheap thin clothes hangers. I couldn't resist.

I also like to hang my trousers and jeans, so I bought four of these trouser hangers. I'm always wondering, why are these not sold anywhere?!

For a very cheap price, I also got those two glass candle holders. I am planing to use them for something else. Maybe for holding the brushes or pencils. They look too pretty to just be used for candles. A bargain, if I may say so.

Price: 0.99€ (1.25£, 0.99$) click

Last but not least, I smelled the candles at the end of the store and even though I already have too much of them, I couldn't pass on this one. It smells like ice cream! Such a yummy smell.

Price: 1.79€ (didn't find it online) 

So that is my first ever haul. I hope I'll get the chance to write more of these and let me know if you even like reading such posts.
