My MAC Collection




My MAC collection is very small when compared to some - how I wish I could have 30 MAC lipsticks all in a neat little container in an Ikea dresser, but sadly I don't! Forgetting that though, I am pretty happy with the few products that I have, so I thought that I would do a little collection post for you all.

MAC is always one of those brands that will always be mentioned when you ask on Twitter what eyeshadow or lipstick you should try next, and to say that they are a very popular and talked about brand would be a major understatement.

I'll start off with eyeshadows first! I'm a big fan of neutral eyeshadows, and I almost never stray from that, meaning it's no surprise that my two MAC eyeshadows are both brown toned shades. I spoke about Sable in my "Top 5 Winter Eyeshadows" post a couple of weeks ago, and as I said then it is a bronze shade with a burgundy tinge from MAC's Frost eyeshadow line. The pigmentation isn't amazing, however it does last all day with little fallout!

My other eyeshadow is Satin Taupe which is a light, possibly silver toned, brown! The pigmentation of this one is definitely better than Sable, and you get less fallout, so I'm not sure what happened there considering Satin Taupe is from the Frost line too. Strangely I've never paid that much attention to this shade, maybe because it isn't a whole lot different to other eyeshadows that I had previously!

Now for my three lipsticks! You've all got to admit, at one point or another you must have swooned over MAC lipsticks - the simplistic black packaging just looks very sleek and pretty, and there are some gorgeous shades.

Creme Cup seemed to be hugely popular in 2013 and was mentioned on a lot of blogs, which definitely swayed me into buying this shade! It's a nude pink shade, and whilst some people call it a "blue pink", which is a shade that apparently makes your teeth appear whiter, I've never personally seen any difference. This is a MAC Cremesheen finish lipstick, which is quite self explanatory - a lovely creamy feel to the product with a glossy finish! I do find that Creme Cup can be a little drying after a while, but a bit of gloss can sort that out easily.

Another shade that everybody seemed to go mad for in 2013/early 2014 was Coral Bliss! This is very much a glossy coral shade, and I would say is more of a summer shade. Even though this is a Cremesheen lipstick, the pigmentation is actually very strong, but still has that same creamy gloss finish! I rarely find that this can be drying too, so that's a bonus.

My favourite of the three lipsticks has to be Peach Blossom! I did a whole post on this way back in April 2014, where I basically declared my love for it, and whilst there are new lipsticks that I really like, this is definitely still a favourite. As I said in the post, this isn't a peach shade as the name would imply, more of a light pink shade with an ever-so-slight peach tinge! It has a lovely creamy and smooth formulation, since this is also from the Cremesheen line, so you get a long amount of wear without being drying.

I definitely do need to invest in some new MAC products as my collection of five seems pretty pathetic, so please let me know what your favourite MAC products are to hopefully give me some ideas!

What does your MAC collection consist of?

  2. I wasn't really into Mac, I guess I prefer cheaper alternatives. I purchased Creme Cup though, and it's one of the best lipsticks I own, seriously, need to have a cheeky little trip to the Mac counter, and finally get the lipstick in 'Brave' xx

  7. you have an amazing collection. The colors are gorgeous, I see a theme running through your shades lol. I have surprisingly never tried their eyeshadows (eventhough i have been wanting a few for a few years now) I'm mostly drawn to their lipsticks (as I think, most beauty lovers) Sable and Satin Taupe are lovely and very wearable for any look! Thanks for sharing

  13. I love your collection, Creme Cup was my first Mac lipstick and the only one that I'm nearing the bottom of, it's such a pretty shade. I too don't really see the 'blue toned' teeth part.

    Lots of Love,

  20. Satin Taupe is one of my all time favourite eye shadows I love it! :) I also have Creme Cup and that's a really pretty lipstick. I think MAC do eye shadow and lipstick really well, I've not tried much else from them though
