September Haul

It's been a while since I last pampered myself with makeup and nail polishes. MAC was offering 20% on limited items that were launched from Jan-August this year. I haven't bought anything since To The Beach so I decided to check what LE items they still had in store. There were plenty of eye shadows from In The Groove, All Ages, All Races, All Sexes and Spring Colour Forecast.

I was thinking of getting the mineralize blushes from In The Groove. They're so pretty! I had Band of Roses and Hang Loose on my list. I was happy they were still available! I left the store with Band of Roses (it's so pretty!) and All's Good Beauty Powder Blush. I didn't get Hang Loose because the colours don't really show up on me.

I finally got myself a Nars Albatross. I haven't tried it on yet but it does look like a great highlight colour in the pan! It's really similar to MAC Vanilla.

And... My Trans Design ordered arrived a few days ago. I've bought are from China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection - Foxy, Ingrid, Goin' My Way?, Bogie, Emerald Fitzgerald, Riveter Rouge and Hey Doll. I really like this collection, it's perfect for the autumn! Bogie and Ingrid are my most favourites.

Swatches to come.

MAC Hipness vs Nars Deep Throat

I picked up MAC Hipness from To The Beach collection without knowing it's actually a very close dupe for Nars Deep Throat which is one of my everyday blushes.

When comparing the colours in the pans, they don't look similar, at least not for me. Hipness is more of a coral pink shade in the pan while Deep Throat is more peachy pink. However, when you swatch them both next to each other, you can't really tell the difference.

I swatched MAC Peachykeen next to Hipness because I always think it looks quite similar to Deep Throat but it's a slightly darker shade compares to Deep Throat. I'm a NC35, by the way. My photos were taken under natural light.


If you already have Nars Deep Throat, would you go for Hipness?
