  MAC Eyeshadow Review ♥ (#Expensive Pink)
_
Hello everyone~~!
Today, I will review an eyeshadow from MAC in shade #Expensive Pink!
This is my first MAC eyeshadow ever and you probably already saw this eyeshadow in my haul post~ I only bought it because I felt like spoiling myself and I always wanted to have a MAC eyeshadow haha.

I wasn't sure wether to get expensive pink, soft brown or soba but I decided to go for this because it reminded me a little of the NARS Orgasm Blush and I still wasn't sure if I should invest that much money in a basic matte brown eyeshadow (maybe next time !!).


MAC Eyeshadow in Expensive Pink
- A highly pigmented powder that applies evenly and blends well.

Price: 19€ (16$ in the US)
Ingredients: Talc, Zinc Stearate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Isostearyl Neopentanoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol,Phenoxyethanol, Silica, Mica,Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Bismuth Oxychloride, Carmine, Chromium Hydroxide Green,Chromium Oxide Greens, Ferric Ferrocyanide, Manganese Violet, Red 40 Al Lake, Ultramarines, Yellow 5 Al Lake, Blue 1 Lake
1.3 g / 0.04 US oz
Available in 120 shades!



Packaging






















MAC Expensive Pink (Veluxe Pearl)


The eyeshadow pot looks pretty sturdy and easy to carry around because it's really small. Like mentioned above, the shade expensive pink has this really nice golden shimmer? which reminds me of the well known 'Orgasm' Blusher from Nars ^-^ ♥ I think this colour looks soo pretty and would be perfect for spring or even for a daily and glamorous makeup look ~



Here are some swatches (no primer)

To be honest, the colour doesn't look pink at all, it's more of a peachy-gold color and you can make it look more vibrant by applying several layers and using a primer so it's quite buildable (I didn't use a primer on the swatches)


MAC Expensive Pink on my eyes (no primer)













It was extremely hard to catch the real eyeshadow color on my eyes but this is the closest I could get to >.< It looks a little more peachy gold in person and the small gold shimmer particles are more obvious too~!

One thing I noticed is that it starts to crease into my fine wrinkles after 2 hours (no primer). It's not that obvious after 2 hours but if you look reaaally closely you will be able to see that it has creased >.< I'm super disappointed because it was an expensive eyeshadow and I think that I can expect it to stay on my lids for at least 3 to 4 hours with no primer! There are many cheap eyeshadows that stay longer on my lids than this one! I'm not sure if its the same with the other eyeshadows from MAC. However, it does stay on my lids almost all day if I use a primer but it seems to faint into a really sheer gold shade at the end of the day.

The pigmentation is really, REALLY good and I love how this colour looks on my eyes! It looks really fresh and exotic haha.



    What I like about it
- pigmentation
- gold shimmers ♥
- buildable colour
- easy to blend
- huge variety of shades (120 shades!)
- small packaging (easy to carry around)

What I don't like about it
- creases if you don't use an eyeshadow primer
- expensive
- not a lot of product (1.3g for 19€)



Overall Rating:
I like MAC eyeshadows so far and would repurchase a few more in another colour (soft brown, soba, honeylust *-*). The pigmentation is great, I love the huge variety of colours they have and I think they're great for beginners!

However, If you don't have a lot of money and would need to save up to get it.... just go with a another brand.. To be honest, There are many eyeshadows for a more affordable price and you really don't need to pay like 10$ more for an eyeshadows that is a littleeee bit better than cheap ones (just my two cents). Go for these if you have enough money, want to get a colour thats hard to find or want to spoil yourself with more expensive makeup~~!

  Small winter haul ♥ (A'Pieu, Missha, Aritaum, Kiko,...)
_
Hello everyone!
It has been ages since I have blogged anything because I felt so stressed out because of school and I've been pretty disappointed with my results ;-; I feel like going back to blogging regulary to release some stress~! I hope no one is going to be annoyed lol

This post is going to be a haul post where I show you some beauty products I received a few weeks ago. I noticed that I never really do any 'haul' or 'favourite products of the month' posts so I thought it would be nice to do these once in a while since I see so many beauty bloggers doing posts like that very often and I secretly want to make some too


So here's my haul ♥


I ordered many korean beauty products in december and january but most of it arrived in march @_@ I bought some eyeshadows from Kiko and MAC because I wanted to spoil myself a little and the Kiko eyeshadows were on sale lol.

I'm just going to show you each product close up and tell you a little bit about it

This cushion took sooo long to arrive! I think about 2 months? I was so happy when it finally arrived. It's the Missha M Magic Cushion from the Missha x Line collaboration in #23 and I just couldn't resist! The packaging is sooo cute omg ♥ I haven't tried it out yet because I still need to empty my Doraemon cushion. I'm not sure if I should write a review about it because there are already plenty of it

And this is the A'Pieu Air Fit Cushion in #21 from the A'pieu x Doraemon Christmas edition ♥ The packaging looks too cute haha I absolutely love it *-* But it took 2.5 months to arrive so it wasn't even Christmas anymore and I was like ??? lol??

I also ordered the The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer!! This is actually the second concealer I'm buying from The Saem! It's a reaally good concealer and I highly recommend it. I bought  #1.5 this time because #2 was wayy to dark on me but I regret not going for #1 because #1.5 is slightly too dark too T_T

This is my small eyeshadow haul lol. I bought a MAC eyeshadow ahhh!! It's actually my first eyeshadow from them ever!!I usually never buy anything from MAC because it's soo expensive here ( I think one eyeshadow is 23USD?). It ws so hard to pick a shade but I finally decided to get #expensive pink because it kind of reminded me of the NARS Orgasm blusher~ The Kiko eyeshadows were on sale and were so dirt cheap haha I couldn't resist getting two of them, the Infinity+ sparkle line is so pretty! ♥ And the Aritaum Mono Eyes eyeshadows were on sale too hahaha xD I got shade #47 Steal Away.

SHIN CHAN Hand Cream ♥_♥ I had to get something from the A'Pieu x Shin Chan collab because I used to watch Shin Chan almost everyday when I was a child, totally loved him xD It smells really nice and I recommend it if you're a Shin Chan stan too. I also got the Foam cleanser from this line from Jenny *-* ♥ Thanks!!

This liptint is really pretty!! I got Aritaum's Colour Lasting Tint in shade #10 Wild Coral because I needed a real orange liptint to mix or just wear alone and this one is perfect for mixing with other lip tints or when you want a 'real orange' coloured lip tint! It's like I said before really orange and 1:1 the same color as on the packaging *-*

I got these lenses sponsored from klenspop.com and I'm probably going to review them soon because I always feel bad for taking such a long time to finally review them >-<


So that's it! My haul is quite small and I feel so petty for posting this but I really wanted to post this and share it with others! I want to get back to blogging and post whatever I feel like posting! In the past I always used to only post review after review but I get so tired of doing this >-<! More personal/travel/makeup tutorials to be posted soon . . .


Tell me if you want me to review any of the items, I will try my best to review them soon~! Thanks for reading my post ♥




Have a nice day everyone! ♥
