Hey Beauties!
Finally took all the photos and wore all the product that I mentioned buying in this post. I've only got two concealers and one lipstick from Mac, so I was very happy to expend my Mac collection. If there's one range of products that I love about Mac, it's definitely their lipstick. They're worth investing in.
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€.
