MAC Cosmetics are hands down my favorite makeup products out there.
It's true I'm not very adventurous with what I put on my face...I like things simple and classic. My everyday makeup usually involves some tinted moisturizer, powder, blush, and mascara. If I have time, I add some winged liner (my favorite look). However, I don't have the steadiest hands after my morning jolt of caffeine! Yikes.
Today, after the CRAZIEST of Saturdays in the cafe (thank you "Big Taste, Calgary"), I took my tip money stash and went straight into MAC. I know it's bad, but sometimes a girl needs to shop to feel better...not a great habit to have.
I wear black for work fives days a week so there's not much point in clothes shopping, but I CAN wear whatever makeup I want.
With the assistance of a very helpful MAC employee, I put together my very own custom palette. This was a first time for me, and I'll admit I found the color selection daunting because there are SO many colors to choose from! But I told my trusty helper girl I wanted a neutral-ish palette to give my blue eyes extra pop...and that's exactly what I got.

I am sooo happy with this palette. And the girl who helped me showed me exactly how to apply the colors with the brushes I already have at home, perfect. It always drives me nuts when sales people try to sell you extra things you don't really need. Boo.
On another note, I also purchased the Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade for highlighting. It is a beautiful product and great for highlighting your upper brow, temples, and cupids bow. You don't need much either, so I expect this product will be lasting me a LONG time.
