I do not normally buy M.A.C. or support the company for that matter. I feel like the quality does not meet the price. I would rather buy from Too Faced on the high-end side than almost any other company in that category. I feel like the drugstore has a dupe for almost every MAC product, and some of them have better pay-off than the MAC one's. That being said, I saw that their newest collection was from "Archie". I flipped out. I loved "Archie" as a kid, and wanted something from the Veronica collection immeadiately. There are two lipsticks that I want, one red, and one a deep pinkish, slightly fushia color. Both stores at my mall were sold out of both colors. I really wanted to walk away with something, so I got the "Prom Princess" blush. I have yet to try it, but I will do a review the second I use it. I also want to check back tomorrow at a different mall and see if the lipsticks are available.
I am also thinking about a few products that I will post reviews for.
One idea is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, which I am in love with. Another idea is to do an over view of my current mascaras that I am using. Mascaras are probably one of my most bought beauty items because I like trying them ALL!
Please let me know if there is something new out that you would like some info on.
I've never tried MAC but wanted to. Maybe it was good 5 or so years ago??? There's so much competition right?
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time finding a good Matte Black Eyeshadow. I've been using Loreal because I'm used to it.
I would love to learn about some Matte Lipsticks too!
I think when MAC came out it was the place to go for good makeup, but now there are so many brands, and drugstore brands have really stepped their game up. There are a lot of independent companies that make good black eye shadows, for instance, NYX has a great black. It retails for around $4 and you can find it online at nyxcosmetics.com, or you can go to Ulta or ulta.com to buy it. There is also a awesome independent company called Glamour Doll Eyes (http://glamourdolleyes.com/) and they have a pigment called "Urban Trash" that is a very pigmented black. To me the key with black eyeshadow is a good base or primer to make sure the makeup lasts because black tends to drag everywhere. They are a cruelty free brand, and carry vegan cosmetics. I have tried to stop buying Loreal due to the fact that they are not cruelty free, but they make my favorite mascaras, so it has not been an easy transition. I will definitely be posting something about matte lipsticks soon.
