| Wearing my MAC Hey Sailor Lipstick and Highlighter |
Right, yes, I know, such a typical blogger thing to buy, but I've NOT bought this collection just to blog about it. I've heard a little few niggles going around about bloggers buying products just to blog about them to get hits etc. When it comes to MAC collections, I'm a right sucker. I've been buying these limited collections for years, way before I started blogging I was running off to Nottinghams MAC to pick up the latest collections lipsticks. So when this one came along, with the most beautiful packaging, I got a little too excited and placed my order the day it was released. Which, I regret. I had to wait ages for my delivery while everyone else was picking it up in store :(. BUT, it's finally here, hooray!
I bought the highlighter as I've been after a new highlighter, and this, this highlighter right up there, was my first EVER MAC buy that wasn't a lipstick. It's been a long time coming, but I finally strayed out of my lipstick obsession and bought a non-lipstick product. It's the stripy pattern that really attracted me, it's my substitute for the Chanel Horizon Blush (as seen 'here') as I really could not come up with an excuse for spending £46.00 on a blush. The colour is a very light pink, and it has a little shimmer, very much like Benefits Hervana with a tiny more shimmer ('here'), very complementary for pale girls like myself. The colours are an overlay, which, is such a shame. When the overlay has gone the highlighter will be a bit boring, but still useable.
I couldn't resist buying a lipstick too. I went for the Red Racer lipstick, it was between this one and Sail La Vil. It's a satin lipstick and unbelievably pigmented and creamy, it's my favourite MAC lipstick right now, it's the perfect red colour and consistency. As expected with a MAC lippy, it stays in perfect place until you eat or drink, then you need a top up.
Overall, I'm so happy with this collection. The packaging is gorgeous and the products equally impressive. The highlighter in Crew costs £21.50 and the Red Racer lipstick costs £14.00.
Have you bought any of this collection? Are you a MAC collection addict?
Disclosure: Bought by myself.

DeleteWow that red ! I have to wait til tomorrow to purchase anything and I know by that time everything will probably have gone at my counter :( If MAC could just arrange collections around my payday that would be great... ;)
ReplyDeletehaha that would be amazing :D they should let you reserve products for payday!
DeleteAhh, I have enough highlighters in my life, but I was pouring over the orange lipstick in the collection this morning though - can't make my mind up!
ReplyDeleteI swatched the orange in MAC and it's quite red actually, I'd love to get that one too it's very similar to red racer but with more orange undertones
DeleteI'm looking for a highlighter at the moment that will suit my ghostly white skin and isn't a glitterball fest. do you think that this might do the job?

ReplyDeletecan't stop wearing it :D
DeleteOooh your lips look amazing, I love your cupids bow, haha!! I wish I could pull off red! I also love this highlighter but I couldn't justify it - I already have two just like it, haha!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe these niggles going round, I haven't witnessed anything but can't understand why anyone would do that? Mind you, saying that, I pretty much only bought into this Mac collection because ITS STRIPY. Ach, such a fool. xx
haha! all you guys saying you love the shape of my lips is making me want to look after them properly! might need to buy an SPF lip balm, and thanks you :D I bet you could pull off a red! haha I'm the same, I got the highlighter because its stripy haha! and yeah I'm not naming but I've heard a few bits :/ never mind :D
DeleteThe highlighter looks so cute!! I'd want to buy it just because of the design. hehe. xx
ReplyDeleteThe champagne colour in the highlighter is the overlay not the colour, Its gonna wear to more of a blush the deeper you go xxx
