MOTD: MAC Fall 2013 Trends

Welcome back! 

Sorry that I've been M.I.A for a few days...I'm still feeling sick and it's especially hard to write blog posts feeling like this. I also started a training position at work this week so I've been a little busy. I am still working on my September Favourites and hope to have them up by tomorrow. For now, I have another MOTD for you all using all MAC products. 

If you're interested in this look, keep reading for a list of products used! 

MAC Retro Matte Collection for Fall 2013

Hi ladies! 

As promised, I have another quick blog post for you today on MAC's most recent collection. MAC launched the MAC Retro Matte Collection for Fall 2013 last Thursday, September 12th in stores, and I had the chance to pick up a few items.

According to MAC, "Inspired by Ruby Woo's overwhelming popularity and one-of-a-kind texture, MAC introduces new bold shades in its 'Reteo Matte' finish. Eye-catching colours like Dangerous and All Fired Up create a look that's fiercely feminine. MAC also premieres Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in a vibrant colour palette, giving this long-lasting and transfer-proof pencil an exhilarating makeover" 

I must say, I own Ruby Woo and it is a fantastic lipstick formula! It doesn't appear to be as drying as most matte lipsticks, and it is so incredibly vibrant and bold. Needless to say, I was excited to hear that MAC would be launching 7 new colours, with some of them being permanent! Below is a list of shades that MAC released with this collection:

Small MAC Haul: MAC Pro Longwear Collection for Fall 2013

Hi!

I stopped by MAC the other day to check out the new MAC Pro Longwear Collection for Fall 2013, which includes Pro Longwear foundations and concealers in new shade additions, as well as Pro Longwear Paint Pots and Eyeliners that I believe will be permanent! *I use MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer on a daily basis (it is my favourite under-eye concealer of ALL time, it is amazing and I have repurchased it over and over again) I wear shade NW15 FYI...

MAC released 12 Pro Longwear Paint Pots in total, 5 of which are brand new shades! I was most excited about these because I own a few (and LOVE) them as eyeshadow bases (that can also be used as stand-alone cream eyeshadows) According to the MAC website, 

"Pro Longwear Paint Pots deliver highly dimensional colour with a luxurious finish while Pro Longwear Eye Liner defines eyes with a dense water-resistant formula that glides on comfortably and stays for 12 hours, in seven new shades from eggplant to brilliant sheer gold"








Below are a list of all 12 shades (with descriptions), taken from Temptalia 

MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pots ($24 CDN for 5 grams)

• Chrome Angel - Platinum silver
• Let's Skate - Pale pink with pearl (repromote)
• Perky - Cream coral with white pearl (repromote)
• Rubenesque - Golden peach with gold pearl (repromote)
• Layin' Low - Creamy beige (repromote)
• Clearwater - Sea foam
• Antique Diamond - Frosted olive silver (repromote)
• Camel Coat - Muted beige

Benefit Haul: New Benefit Products for Fall 2013

Hello again!

Today I wanted to share my excitement for the new Benefit products that vloggers/bloggers have been lusting over for weeks! ..... If you guessed "Rockateur" you're right!

Ever since I saw posts about it on instagram, I've been trying to get my hands on this lovely rose-gold blush that seriously rocks! I believe that this blush launched at the beginning of September at Sephora. Because I work in a mall, I was stalking the Benefit section of Sephora every day until I found it! (a little excessive, I know)

And here she is! 

Benefit Rockateur Blush ($36.00 CDN for 5.0 grams)
