Hi Hi Hi!!,

So back to our scheduled programming of BEAUTY-related posts 😀

I recently picked up some new products from MAC. Although I did not buy these in Lagos, we’ve got a MAC store here so I am pretty sure you can get most of this stuff if you wanted..
Also I have never actually compared price differences between  MAC stores in Lagos and London. I will be sure to use this post as reference for when I want to repurchase. But I don’t think the difference will be THAT ridiculous, right?
The products I got are mostly repurchases of stuff I’m running low on and a few new items I’ve had my eye on for some time. Enjoy

MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC42 – £21.50
This is a repurchase. This is the fluid foundation from MAC that works best with my skin. So far I have tried, MatchMaster, ProLongwear & Studio Fix Fluid (SFF), and SFF is the best for me.
Foundation Pump – £4

I also picked up a Pump this time. Because my only gripe with this foundation was the application, so now that’s sorted 🙂

MAC Blot Powder ‘Dark’ – £20

Repurchased my much-loved blotting powder

MAC Powder Blush Matte ‘Harmony’ – £18

I haven’t found the perfect contour powder shade for me just yet. The Sleek contour palettes, I feel, come up a little ‘reddish’ on me. So when I saw one of my YouTube girlies, who is also the same shade as I am in the MAC SFF, use this and it looked perfect, I made a note to pick this up. Hopefully it turns out great.
MAC MSF in ‘Soft and Gentle’ – £22

I have had my eye on this highlighter for some time, and when I swatched it I fell in love. It gives a nice subtle glow that is also build-able.

MAC Cremesheen Glass ‘Fashion Whim’ – £17.50

I watched Sammi (BeautyCrush) and her sister Danni’s summer-tag video (here), and I found my eyes transfixed on Danni’s lipgloss. It was LITERALLY all I could look at throughout the video. She listed the products she used, and it was a Rimmel Lipliner in ‘Tulip’ and a MAC lipgloss in ‘Boybait’. But when I went in to the MAC store to swatch Boybait I found it a little too pale on me (‘dead-fish’ lips anyone?), so the MA suggested this one, Fashion Whim, which I luuuurve. Possible lip swatches of this soon. Got the ‘Tulip’ lipliner from Rimmel as well….. Must. Recreate.The.Look lol

MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder – £20

 This has been on my ‘to-get’ list for a while. Wanted to try something other than the Ben Nye Banana Powder for setting my under-eye concealer. And this is transparent anyway, so I am hoping it’ll give a lighter finish, as I find the BNPP a little heavy at times.

MAC Paint Pot ‘Soft Ochre’ – £15
This had also been on my to-get list, this paint-point as well as ‘Painterly’, but after I swatched both of them, I decided to go for just ‘ Soft Ochre’. This is just going to be a subtle base for my eyeshadows, and I will also use it on it’s own when I rock my winged-eye. Which is everyday, by the way.
So that’s my latest MAC splurge. I have picked up one or two more things since I bought these and I will type up a post about that haul too.
What items have you recently picked up or have your eye on at MAC?
