MAC winter sales + Lunar Luck haul

I got a MAC winter sales + Lunar Luck collection haul to share with you today. Let’s begin with the sale items.

I purchased two more of the Aute Couture Starring Rosalia nail laquers, because I really enjoy the first two that I got. These two are in the shades Canela En Rama and Cayena. The bottles are so pretty too.

I also picked up the other shade of the Extra Dimension Skinfinish from the Botanic Panic collection which is called Royal Flush. This is a blush on me though, but it’s super pretty nonetheless. And I don’t think I’d ever heard of the Iridescent powder from MAC, but I picked up the shade Silver Dusk, and I thought I would give it a try.

I got another MAC x L Powder Kiss liquid lipcolour as well. This is in the shade Haute Pants, and it’s a very pretty blue based red. I really like the Powder Kiss formulas.

I loved the Cruella collection, and I thought about getting the 217S blending brush when the collection first launced, but MAC brushes are so expensive, so I’m glad I waited for a sale. And those were the items I purchased in the winter sales.

From the Lunar Luck collection, which was the 2022 Lunar New Year collection from MAC, I picked up the Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Lunar Lights, which is a pretty gold, and the Powder Kiss lipstick in If Wishes Were Roses, which is a very nice pink. The packaging is beautiful as well.

Lilac, green, yellow

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I decided to wear both lilac, green, and yellow on my eyes to match the three main colours of my outfit. I added a nude lip to keep the main focus on the eyes, and I really like how the whole look turned out.

Pop of yellow

Here’s what I wore Tuesday April 5. I’ve worn purple/lilac and green together many times, but I thought the pop of yellow was a fun addition.

Wasn’t sure

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. When I decided to create this blue and pink eye look, I wasn’t sure that the shades would go together, but I really think they do. And that pink shimmer on my lids is just so pretty.

Red tights

Here’s what I wore Monday April 4. I’ve had this dress for a while, and I’ve worn it many times, but I’d never styled it with red tights, so I thought I would give it a go.

A bit too much

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I really like this look except for the brows; they’re a bit too much I think.

Cocopanda haul: nail lacquers and back-ups

I think this will be the last haul from 2021 that I have yet to post; I’m so behind, I know:) It’s a very small sale haul from Cocopanda consisting of nail lacquers and back-ups.

I think it was only last year that I started getting into Essie nail lacquers, and these two shades are so good. The glittery orange one is called #757 Cupid’s Beau, and the bright red one is called #781 Bunches Of Love.

I try not to buy too many back-ups, but I know that I’ll use up my favourite foundations. My number one favourite foundation has to be the L’Oreal Paris Infaillible 24H Fresh Wear foundation (which is now called 32H Fresh Wear I think), and I use the shade 015 Porcelain. I also really enjoy the e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream in the shade Fair 120N, and the Catrice True Skin Hydrating foundation, which I use in shade 004 Neutral Porcelain, is one of the best full coverage foundations.

Lastly, I got some back up Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponges, because it’s my favourite make-up sponge, and then I got the e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless concealer brush as a free gift.

Orange, burgundy, and mustard

Here’s the make-up I wore with this outfit. I had a lot of fun creating an orange, burgundy, and mustard make-up look to go with my Winnie the Pooh sweater vest. Now that I think about it, it’s actually not that often that I wear very warm make-up looks, but I really like this look.
