MAC Cosmetics

Gorgeous burnt orange shade on my fair skin. Perfect for fall.

Love this shade. Perfect pick me up to my pale skin and as long as you apply balm first it wears comfortably. I don't know my mac foundation shade but I'm normally ivory or warm ivory in other high end brands if that helps.

I've avoided MAC primers in the past because back in the day they weren't very good. Well, I'm sure glad I gave this one a try. It's my new HG eye primer. And I've already used up two tubes within the past two years, so I'm not saying that lightly. My previous favourite was NARS Pro Prime. I still like that one too, but it's so expensive considering how fast I go through it. This MAC one has better packaging (but be careful, because it has a large opening and it's easy to squeeze out too much), and it's much better value for money. For reference, my lids aren't particularly oily or dry, and I really just need my shadow to last all day. This certainly works for that.

MAC Turquatic smells like a mix of Davidoff Cool Water for women and D&G Light Blue. I like all three perfumes that I just mentioned, but I prefer Turquatic to the uber-popular Light Blue. Turquatic has a fresh musky scent that I think adds a fresher, sexier quality, while Light Blue sometimes gets a little masculine on my skin. This fragrance is PERFECT for summer... It's fresh, light, young, sexy. I think the price is fair and the packaging makes the perfume easy to carry with you. My 20ml bottle is about the size of a deck of cards, so it's super easy to pack during summer vacations.

Such a popular color. This was a gift item and too orange-red for my complexion where blue reds work better. Not for me.
