I got new Mac...surprise, surprise.....HAUL!

    Just a quick share with you my new Mac products! Now, I have been good lately and not bought anything in Mac, so good in fact my lovely Mam treated me to these goodies....God, she is great!

     Three new shadows for my collection, a creme colour base and my first 217 blending brush (giddy with excitement about this brush...)

New Goodies!

The 3 shadows I got were;

1. Retrospeck; a sparkly light gold, gorgeous on the lid.
2. Espresso; a matte brown, perfect brown smokey eye colour.
3. Smut; a dirty grey/brown colour, love this, perfect when u want to add don't want to add black.

Creme colour base in Pearl. Absolutely gorgeous cream highlight. It is a light yellowy gold that blends down to a sheer white, love this, gives that perfect 'wet' face look. After this one, I definenetly want to try out the Creme Colour base in Hush. I love highlights, I think they are money well spent, especially in Summer.

Creme Colour Base in Pearl.

    And then my brush. I am so excited to use this. It has to be the most commonly used brush in all youtube beauty videos and blogs. I feel many more of these bad boys will be in my kit in the very near future....

    And that is it for this haul.....I am currently on a beauty spending ban...no more buying unnecessary makeup that I don't need but if someone else buys it for me I'm not going to say no....

Benefit's Watts Up!

     I know what your are going to say, another bloody highlighter...I'm sorry but there are my obsessive product! I buy them in excess and really they are the perfect summer product for summer (even if this is the crappiest summer we've had in I don't know how many years).
     Benefit's 'Watt's Up'. Now I've heard are great deal about this and it being so brilliant, so naturally I had to pay an obscene amount of money for this. And if I'm being honest, it defo is NOT worth it! I mean it's a cream highlight, colour is actually quite nice but the product itself, BORRRRRING!

    The product is lovely and all but the concept is pretty crap! It's a stick highlighter, a cream to powder formula, that comes with a sponge applicator on the other end. The concept is apply the highlight and you're suppose to buff it out with the sponge end. Worst idea ever. The sponge is brutal so you have to push the product around with your fingers and then this moves your foundation. The colour is lovely and the end result is a gorgeous, 'wet' looking highlighter face but it is just way too much effort me.

    Another point to make, it's waaaay to bloody expensive for what you get! It retails at €34.50, and for me way overpriced and you would defo get another highlight for cheaper and less effort! Obviously this is only my opinion, I mean many beauty junkies out there love 'Watt's Up', but this beauty junkie thinks product will be thrown by the wayside in my makeup bag.....
