MAC "to the beach" haul

As promised! this is my lovely "to the beach" by mac summer collection haul! i made the video, but for some reason the audio was lost. next best thing i guess will be this post. its not as good as a video but bare with me because my web cam isn't the best quality anyways!! so anyways, i got up bright and early for this collection because i didn't want to run the risk of anything that i wanted selling out lol. i pretty much did like 80mph to the mall, and umm didn't let anyone cross the damn st; i was in that much of a hurry lol. when i got there and looked at everything i was like....what?! things looked so different in person; womp womp! some things looked better, some things didn't look like they would look good on me. i literally tried EVERYTHING on because i was gonna buy things without making sure they looked good on me first. i had a list of everything i wanted to get; but that flew out the window the minute i noticed the peach lipstick had gold in it; and the peach lip gloss had blue sparkles. me and blue sparkles don't mix lol; and neither do me and gold lipsticks, i pretty much looked like a crackhead with it. womp womp because it looked gorgeous in pictures online. any who; i threw the list away into my purse and tried everything on one by one.

these; are the lovely things i ended up getting. i thought i was only going to get the beach collection stuff since i wanted everythinggggg from it; but since i ended up not liking everything; i strayed into some of the non limited stuff. i kept in mind that i was doing someones makeup the next day and decided to get some shadows for that; and a fix plus spray which ive wanted for the longest!! from the beach collection i ended up getting; a bronzer, a blush, two eye pencils, two lip glosses, one lip stick, two shadows, and one of the nail polishes. i was shaky about the polish because it was 12.50(i think, or just 12); but either way that's on the expensive side. i ended up getting it because i wanted no regrets when i got home. lol

i only got two of the 5 shadows becauseeeeeeee the other 2 i would of wanted(Shimmermoss and Humid) arent limited edition, so i could wait on those. i AM going to go back and get them in either the summer packaging or the regular packaging. i got "fire cracker" and "sweet and punchy". the last one, sand and sun didnt even show up on my skin, so i didnt even bother with it. Fire Cracker is a red coral color, and "sweet and punchy" is a bright yellow green. both are super pigmented and GORGEOUS! highly recommend those two for the summer. really fun colors.

nextttttttttttttttttttttt i moved on to lipsticks. i had planned to get the peach and the pink lipstick; but EGH ME NO LIKEY DA PEACH LIPSTICK! i was so dissapointed because i already had this whole bronzed goddess with peach lips look in my head, but womp womp, i had to let that go. i got the pink lipstick instead called "lazy day".

its a gorgeous blue pink!!! i have another blue pink lipstick but sometimes it gets a little too light and i end up having to put gloss over it; BUT this one is perfecttttt. i had a total barbie moment when i put it on lol and i knew at that exact moment that me and "lazy day" were made for one another lol. oh and umm how cute is the tube?

i planned to get all 3 lipglosses because they looked fierce in pictures; but the peach one had blue sparkles in it and it did NOTHING for me at all; so i got these two; "Easy Lounger" which is a light baby pink with silver tint sparkles, sheer by the way. and i also got "Splashing" which is blue pink; but not as sheer as the other one, more of a lipglass(yes, lipglass, as in high pigmented lipglosses from mac). i thought twice about "splashing" because i already had the blue pink lipstick; but it was so pretty that i couldnt pass up. you can NEVER have too many lipglosses lol thats my policy!

i HAD decided against getting the nail polishes because 12 was wayyyyy too much for nail polish. the most i do it 8 for OPI's and thats because they are damn good, and even though mac ones are too; i just didnt want to dish out so much for these. once i got there all that changed; i HAD to have this color. its more of an avocado green in person, it is just gorgeous and i've never seen another color like it. i pictured it on me and i decided i couldnt leave with out this "in the buff" nail polish, no matter what the price!

even though i didnt want to get any more bronzers; i decided to get one because the color was so nice, and the packaging lol. im a sucker, yes!. im actually very glad i got this though, i tried it on at the store and fell in love with it. it looks very natural, and so summery! i got the darker one of the two because its summer, i tan, and the other one wouldnt show up as good as this one. if your darker skined i suggest passing up on these; because they are very light, and the darker of the two just made it in with me.

i saw pictures of the "float on by" eye pencil and fell in love with it right away, it made my list the second i saw it online. the other color i wasnt too wow about(Rosemary and thyme); but when i saw it in person and tried it on my skin it looked amazing. i decided not to skip on it even though it was 14.50 because i knew i wasnt gonna find another color like it, and if i did, it wouldnt be the same. i rather not run into the risk of going out and looking and having this pencil sell out, so i grabbbbbbbed it! they are both so gorgeous! float on by is a really pretty aqua blue color, and rosemary and thyme is a rich olive gold color. the eye pencil decorations are adorable as well lol.

its very similar to the decoration on the bronzer. im a sucker for this line in general, i really debated being a good girl and not blowing crazy money, BUT its summer and you only live once lol, so i went for it. im not crazy about every single line that comes out, but theres something about this summer one that i just loved.

here is a shot of the two eyeshadows outside of the packaging. gorgeous right?

(fire cracker on the left; and sweet and punchy on the right)

moving on from the beach line(because everything that i didnt get isnt worth talking about lol) i got my fix plus FINALLY!!! i actually used it on my prom look, and im going to ask ivanna how her makeup lasted throughout the night. this stuff is so multi use its crazy, i love it already! this is a MUST MUST MUST specially in this hot summer weather. if you guys dont know what this is, or what its for, im going to do a post on it very soon! i actually had fix plus used on me when i went to mac to do my makeup for prom and let me tell you guys i went to sleep with my makeup on(i know, very bad!), and the next day when i woke up it looked like i JUST had it done. i was so amazed; i think thats when my love for mac really really began lol.

i got the blushie!! im a sucker for baby pink blushes; and umm blushes in general lol. this one is called "hipness"; and its....hipness lol. i love it. goes on so pretty! and doesnt give you that blobby overly pink cheeks look. its a little darker than pictured btw. im telling you, i was amazed at how different things looked in person. so, i dont suggest online shopping unless your a comformist and are sattisfied with what ever you get.

since i thought i was going to get wayyyy more stuff from the summer line; i decided to get 3 new shadows for the makeup prom look i was going to be doing. i forget the names of these by heart; i know the silver one is "silver ring" because i had been eyeing it for a while; the other two, if you really want to know just leave a comment and ask; or i'll include the names in a later blog. all 3 colors are gorgeous and so multi use.

At the end of my shopping, i was extremly satisfied! i loved every single thing i got, and even though it was good money, its money well spent because i truly enjoy working with makeup, and i feel like its never money badly spent when it comes to something for myself. i truly deserve everything i get myself, specially after these past rough months! so for sure i was happy! a little let down that i didnt get my peach lipsticks but pink was the next best thing lol. DID YOU GUYS GET ANY MAC TO THE BEACH?!!!
