MAC Art Supplies Haul

I was really be sensible with this haul! At one point I thought I was going to buy the whole collection. But swatching in store makes all the difference. The pearl glide liners did not interest me in the slightest after seeing them in store. It's nothing that Gosh doesn't already do in something similar or better that is Waterline safe because the pearlglide liners aren't. (even though I know tons of people that use them on the waterline anyway!) I had wanted to get the lip stain markers but I could not  figure out how to sanitize them thoroughly for my kit. After speaking to a few people it kinda became obvious that there were really designed to be used by just one person. No point putting them in your kit. So I passed up on them. So that left me with the Greasepaint sticks.

Yeah I got all 8. I had to! I bought Dirty and Below Ground first. And then got the rest because I just could not see how I would live without them! Dramatic I know!

I love my smokey eyes. 90% of the time when I do wear make-up I wear a smokey eye and these beautiful little pens will do the job most def. I have a punk rock chick shoot coming up shortly and I plan on using these for the look. I think they are gonna be fabuloso!

 If you're based in the UK these are still available online to purchase. I haven't used these in a look yet however off the bat I can tell that they are waaaaay softer than first GPS released. They still set quite quickly but blending is going to be a little bit easier with these. The colour that took me by surprise which I certainly did not think was going to be anything interesting was "Dirty". It.is.stunning. Seriously. I am nowhere near being neutral girl but this GPS is probably one of the most versatile of the lot. You can do smokey, you can do neutral, you can do brights, you can do mattes, you can do everything! If you were to get one, I would get Dirty.

For my brown girls, Below Ground is going to service all your bronze eye'd dreams. This colour was made for you chocolate divas. Check it out. I doubt you will be disappointed. Swatches...

top to bottom: Below Ground, Dirty, Zinc Zone, Brown Now, Charred Mauve, Uniformly blue, Greengrease, Slick Black

 Look out for a few looks using these coming up shortly. Catch you guys real soon :)

MAC Art Supplies Collection

I don't get excited about MAC collections much in general these days. I'm quite happy to miss the bulk of them. However there has been on collection that has been on my radar for a little while and it's the Art Supplies Collection that is out in April.

Just as Art Supplies for Eyes invokes the vision, Art Supplies for Lips speaks to the ultimate in sensuality….Luscious lips drawn from innovative new Lipstain Markers and Pencils to use like a modern multi-media artist would – design and discover! Incorporating the concept of art tools into the world of M·A·C makeup, these pencils and markers create dramatically different lip looks. New Pro Longwear Lipstain Marker has the doodle-fun of a “pen,” but with sophisticated, light and long-wearing results. It’s all about artistic freedom!

The only thing I am really interested in are the Greasepaint sticks. I want all of them. And I suspect I will probably get all of them. I love my GPS from Style black and if I can get my hands on a few extra colours well let it be!I shall be stalking MAC for this one people! I am vaguely interested in the Lipstain markers but I am curious to know how one would sanitize them should you want to carry them in your MUA kit. If anyone has an idea please do let me know.
