Latest Mac Additions…

25th April 2010 : Uncategorised

A seriously long overdue post on some of the mac items I’ve recently acquired.
First up is the “Liberty of London” collection..which actually, i wasn’t excited about at all, but as i was passing a Mac shop on the day of the release i popped in just to have a little nosey & totally fell in love with most of the collection.
In the end i decided to go for things i wouldn’t normally buy (besides the Peachstock lippy which is obviously in my nude comfort zone)
I also want to add that this is by far my favourite packaging, i know it wasn’t every one’s cup of tea but i absolutely love it, weird pigeons & cute little flowers? Yes please.

Peachstock Lipstick

Have wanted this for a while, and when I saw it all pretty with pigeons I whisked it right up. It’s a very dark, peachy (funnily enough) colour which looks gorgeous with a coral lip gloss or even something a bit more milky on top. Wouldn’t recommend it to those of you with a super pale complexion however..or if you do have a pale complexion, and you can pull this off, just ignore me. Personally i think it looks better on someone with a bit of a summer glow.

Summer Rose Beauty Powder

As you can see i didn’t follow the majority of others in picking up the Shell colour, instead i went for the Pinkier one. I preferred the colour payoff of this one, and it gives a very pretty light pink/purpley glow. I don’t actually own any other beauty powders so i wasn’t sure what to expect but i love it. I also totally didn’t just buy this because of the amazing packaging..ehem.

Lipglasses in Perennial High Style & English Accents (L-R)

These really aren’t colours i would normally look at. They are slightly “out of my comfort zone” shall we say? but i have been wearing both of these lots. I especially love Perennial High Style over my Creme D’Nude lipstick. Sometimes we need to think outside the box, be a bit adventurous? I have definitely been reaching for this over my pale pinks and nude glosses, they inject a bit more colour and excitement, over both a coloured lipstick or just a nude.

Next are a few items i picked up at my nearest CCO, (one that i had never been to before & is actually, in my opinion the best) Swindon.


Eyeshadows in Nano Gold, Knight Divine & Graphology

Msf in Cheeky Bronze (perfect for summer) & Blush in Sun & Moon (This wasn’t a purchase from the CCO but i’ve popped it in here anyway) which is also perfect for the summer.

  29. Sarah

    I've been to the CCO in Swindon too! Although last time I went was with my boyfriend and being a typical guy was impatient (and only wanted to go into Ralph Lauren), hence why I didn't pick anything up!
    I did see the Studio Sculpt concealer but it was in a completely different shade which was annoying!
