MAC is a funny old brand. It has such a huge following. I suppose this is partly due to the price range, it’s expensive enough to feel special but not so expensive as to price people out. Ok so the new collections every 15 seconds can be overwhelming (not to mention cheeky) but they have some fab products. I was tagged my Amelia from Bloggin' It Off to do this so thanks Amelia!
How long have you been using Mac?
Honestly less than a year. I used high street or high end makeup before. MAC wasn’t really on my radar.
What was your first Mac product?
Azalea Blossom Blush Ombre. Why oh why did I not get Ripe Peach?
What's your all time favourite Mac product?
Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick. Must buy backups...
What's your least favourite Mac product?
MSF natural
Do you own a Pro Card?
Nope
Your Mac foundation shade:
Hahaha MAC don’t really do foundations for neutral skin tones so I’m kind of in between. NC is waaay too yellow. NW is ok (but needs setting with a yellow- neutral powder). I’m in between 15-20.
Your favourite Mac-Foundation:
The Pro Long Wear sample was the nicest I’ve tried so far.
Eyeshadow:
Smoke and Diamonds
Lipstick:
Again Viva Glam Cyndi
Lipgloss:
Viva Glam Cyndi
Liner:
Don’t have any!
Brush:
187 little duo fibre brush. Love it for cream blush or super pigmented powder blush.
Nail Lacquer:
I only have Rain. It’s nice though.
Pro Product:
Don’t have any!
Comment on the following Mac product; Have you used them? If so, give feedback.
Prep + Prime Skin:
It’s nice enough but it isn’t the kind of primer I’d usually buy. I have a sample which I’ll review soon.
Full Coverage Foundation:
Never tried it.
Studio Sculpt Foundation:
Again never tried it.
Face + Body Foundation:
Never tried it and honestly doesn’t sound like my kind of foundation.
Mineralize Satin Finish:
See above.
Studio Fix Fluid:
Not tried it yet though I have a sample.
Hyper Real Foundation:
Never used.
Select SPF15 Foundation:
Never used.
Studio Tech Foundation:
Never used.
Studio Fix Powder:
The finish was fine but I was matched to the wrong colour. I looked awful....
Studio Stick:
Do they still make this? Never tried it anyway.
Hyper Real Pressed Foundation:
Never used
Beauty Powder:
I like these. The fact they generally are sheer doesn’t bother me as my skin is so pale anything shows up.
.
.
Sculpting Powder:
Never used
Shaping Powder:
Never used.
Loose Blot Powder:
Never used
Pressed Blot Powder:
Never used but it’s on my wish list.
Mineralize Skinfinish Natural:
Gives me sad face. Doesn’t nothing for my oily skin. Looks a lot less cakey than many other pressed powders can though.
Mineralize Skinfinsh:
Gorgeous in the pans but I don’t use mine enough. I’m not one for overt shimmer during the day.
Bronzing Powder:
I don’t use bronzer.
Powder Blush:
I like the couple that I have though Bite of an Apple is quite hard to blend. I’m looking forward to getting some of the peachier shades.
Blushcreme:
Not tried them.
Mineralize Blush:
Nice but potentially too shimmery depending on the shade. I actually wore Dainty at my wedding!
Gel Blush:
Never used
Cream Color Base:
I tried one at an event and like the texture. I may purchase in future.
Studio Sculpt Concealer:
Haven’t tried it.
Select Cover Up Concealer:
Again I haven’t tried it.
Select Moisture cover Concealer:
I hated this when I first got it but now I think that might have been because the skin under my eyes was a bit dry. I quite like it now. It isn’t amazing and I probably won’t repurchase (the coverage isn’t quite enough for me) but I’ll finish the tube.
Studio Finish Concealer:
Not tried.
Studio Stick:
Not tried.
Lip Erase:
Not tried but I’m curious about it as I do have very pigmented lips.
Tinted Lip Conditioner:
Not tried but it’s on my wishlist.
Lipstick:
I do like these. My favourites are the lustre finishes.
Lipglass:
I like these though they are a bit thick and sticky.
Dazzleglass:
I prefer glitter on my eyes, not my lips.
Cremesheen Glass:
Never tried it.
Lip Gelee:
Again never tried it. I’m not really a fan of these kind of squeezy tube glosses though.
Solar Bits:
Never tried it.
Nail Lacquer:
Only have one. It’s ok but I prefer Barry M.
Shadestick:
Never tried it.
Paint:
Never tried it.
Paint Pots:
Never tried them but they are on my list!
Eye Shadow:
I do like their eyeshadows but I don’t think they are as amazing as people say they are. Good quality for the money but I prefer the texture of things like Urban Decay or NARS.
Pigment:
Blue Brown is just phenomenal! I only have the little Christmas vials but I do love ‘em.
Glitter:
I like them and I know they have some fairly unique colours but I wouldn’t use them enough to justify a full sized jar.
Eye Kohl:
Never used but I’m planning on picking up Feline and the metallic one when Champale comes out in Jan.
Chromaline:
Never tried.
Fluidline:
Used it once at a MAC event and honestly prefer my ELF one.
Liquid Last Liner:
Never used.
Lustre Drops:
Never used.
False Lashes:
Never used them. I’m rubbish at applying falsies so I stick to the cheap eBay ones.
ProLash Mascara,Zoom Lash Mascara,Plush Lash Mascara, Dazzle Lash Mascara:
Never tried them. To be honest I haven’t heard great things about them.
What has been your favourite Mac collection to date?
Since I’ve been buying from them probably In The Groove.
Which Mac collection, in your opinion, do you think was disappointing, if any?
Fabulous Felines. I wanted to love everything but it was only ok.
What products do you think Mac are missing?
I think MAC have a pretty comprehensive line really, especially when you take the pro line into account.
Wow when you look at my answers it seems like I’ve never stepped in a MAC store! I can promise you I have, on many occasions. I just don’t think that MAC is the be all and end all. I will be picking up two things from the Champale collection but I’m not crazy about any of the upcoming collections to be honest. That can only be a good thing for my purse!
