...actually make that two oldies but goodies. The other day I had time for a mini haul before catching the bus home from work, so I popped into Boots and then to Mac. I picked up a couple of items which have been around for a while and which I have wanted to own for yonks - and now I do!
It includes a Starry Eyed glitter liner (mini) in Mad Mad Love, which is a pinky lilac glitter liner (swatch below), mini Mirror Mirror lipgloss in Don't Hate Me (pinky lipgloss bordering on clear - but lovely texture) and a mini Lash Injection mascara in Black. All contained in a pink satiny bag. All in all well worth the £20 if you ask me!
From left to right, the shadows are the Day look, Classic look and Fashion look - and the glitter liner:
The other item I picked up was a Blushcreme from Mac in the shade Lillicent. How gorgeous is this?! It's a pale pink with a hint of peach. On my NC25 skin it looks so natural. Combined with the day look from the palette above, I look polished but not overly made up. These two items are my new favourite look :) The Blushcreme also looks good on the lips - a peachy nude. Would be great mixed with some balm.
It's covered in lots of tiny, super soft bristles. You pour some cleanser on it and massage your face with it. I tried it out yesterday and loved it. The scrublet is so soft and yet so invigorating. My skin tingled but in a nice way, and there was some gentle exfoliation going on. It was the same sensation you get from body brushing - a rush of circulation - yet gentle enough for the face. Love it!
As for the cleanser itself, I didn't think it was too special, but the scrublet could be used with any cleanser. It has a sucker on the back so it sticks to the shower wall. There was also a Gel Wash and a Scrub in the range, each with these little facial brushes.
I recommend them, if only for the sensation you get when you massage your face. It's really invigorating in the morning. Try it out (they are even on sale at the moment in Superdrug for you UK girls :)
