MAC Haul

During a lovely little New Year's Eve brunch, a girlfriend of mine mentioned that she wanted to run into H&M to look for an LBD for her plans for the evening.  On our way out of Lloyd Center, we passed the new MAC counter in Macy's, and it was all downhill from there.

MAC Viva Glam VI

While I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I feel like I'm always searching for a good, everyday lip color; nothing too bold, but definitely the ol' My-Lips-But-Better shade.  I am getting braver with lip colors, but it's still on probation.  Anyway, I asked the makeup artist what she would recommend, and she pointed me in the direction of Viva Glam VI.  It's a beautiful plummy, rosy, work-appropriate shade and I'm excited to have it in my collection!

 MAC Rebel

MAC Lip Liner in Burgundy

The friend I was shopping with also wanted to pick up a new lipstick, but she was a little lost as to what color she should aim for.  Red lips make her feel a little self-conscious, so the artist tried a few purple-ish shades on her and we finally landed on Rebel.  Being the highly suggestible girl that I am, I had to follow suit and try it on myself.  We paired it with the MAC lip liner in Burgundy and I was sold.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Perfect Topping

Slowly but surely, I'm becoming more brave when it comes to makeup.  I started adding bronzer to my beauty routine earlier this year, and I've recently gotten the itch to give highlighting a try.  This is from the new Lightness of Being collection, and as beautiful as it is in the pan, it's even more gorgeous on the skin.
