Small M A C haul

Hey there!) 
Me&my BF celebrated 3rd anniversary of our relationship this Saturday. So I got a MAC gift card as a present (yep, I have the best bf in the world who always asks me what I want to get for a holiday and never buys things I wouldn't like). I live in Europe and prices are unbelievable so I didn't get as much as I would if I lived in America. Anyway, here's what we have:

My Real Techniques Brushes (Face Expert, Setting, Blush & Shading brushes)

So I finally got those famous Samantha Chapman's brushes and I was SO excited to tell you about them. First I have to say that before using them I used to apply my makeup with my MAC, Estee Lauder and some other brushes. But now I would really skip most of my old brushes as I find that even MAC brushes are a bit scratchy for my sensitive skin. And RT brushes are soft like heaven. So let's take a closer look and find out what I like/dislike about these brushes.

Urban Decay N A K E D Basics Palette

Hello there)

I've never been a fan of any palettes as I always find there are too many colors that I won't actually use (too many warm-toned colors in NAKED, too much shimmer in NAKED 2) but what I have to say about this palette - GO AND GET IT! 

Honestly, this is the best eyeshadow neutral palette I have ever used! Now I can't even imagine my everyday makeup routine without it. 

MAC Vanilla Pigment (swatches and review)

Vanilla Pigment from MAC is very famous and all I can say: no wonders! It's so pretty and it has such a beautiful color - something like a silvery, cold gold. Looks amazing on skin!

Here's how it looks like:

Chanel Rouge Allure #27 (Excentric)

Chanel Rouge Allure in 'Excentric' is one of the most gorgeous lipsticks I have ever owned! It applies like butter, never dries your lips and leaves a nice glossy shine. But the color is what it is most famous for - it's a really dark bluish purple color with cool undertone and depending from lightning it can look from vine-red to violet. The color is truly eccentric and classy!

First swatch (daylight):

MAC Shy Girl Lipstick (swatch + Review)

MAC Shy Girl is a great nude lipstick that is perfect for skin that has warm undertones. It is pale, beige and pink color. Depending on lightning, it can look from apricot beige to pale pink, but I would describe it as warm nude anyway. 

        

          

Mint nails - Maybelline Mini Colo Rama №95 (Green Park) Swatch + Review

Hi there! 

So I wanted to dedicate this post to my favorite mint nail polish. First, I need to confess that I'm not actually fond of regular nail polishes at all, I prefer Shellac instead. But I really like the color of Maybelline's "Green Park" - despite the name, it's not actually green. It's hard to tell from the pictures but it's a cool pale mint color which is really hard to find. Not too green, not too blue - just the perfect shade for me.
