My M.A.C palette so far..

Sooo, my pallette so far! Only 5 but that's my grey smokey eye sorted! Colours from L-R are: Carbon, Black Tied, knight devine, electra and gesso. My next colours are all neutrals like browns, beiges and nudes. One line is going to be shimmer and one matte. I'm trying to build up two palettes, one natural colours and one bright colours like purples, pinks, greens & stuff.

I usually just stick to plain colours because that's all I have but I eventually want to start putting colour in my makeup for nights out and stuff because i've cut my makeup down dramatically for college these days, on my eyes all I wear now is mascara and I really enjoy playing about with eyeshadows. College is killing me lately! Anyway, I slightly forgot my palette lately which is why I don't have anymore than this, but now I can start buying slowly again yay!

Buying Fake/Real M.A.C online!

So i've been asked in the past how can you tell if it's real or fake, where to buy it from, is it safe to buy off ebay etc. So here's my honest opinion. Unless they can prove it's 100% authentic, DO NOT BUY OFF EBAY! I wouldn't buy it off ebay in the first place if i'm honest! So here's a few ways to save yourself from falling into that trap:

1. If it sounds too good to be true, it's NOT true! If you visit the mac site one bottle of foundation is around £20, if someone's selling it for around £10 it's more than likely fake! Or especially eyeshadows, a bulk of 24 for around £30 is going to be FAKE! One eyeshadow pot on M.A.C is £11.50.

2. Don't buy if it's from China, that place is a well known replica city. Just stick to your own country.

3. If they don't say it's authentic, don't buy, if it's not in the description you can always message the seller to ask, if they don't reply it's fake, and if they do reply then obviously you'll have your answer :-)

4. Check the name of the colours listed. The M.A.C site is always available for you to check colours. If it's a discontinued colour, you can always google the colour e.g. search for "M.A.C discontinued colours for lipstick" I'm pretty sure somewhere will have a list of colours.

5. Look at the packaging, M.A.C always has the dot's inbetween the letters, everything is always in a straight line, it has a sticker label for the name of the colour of the product never printed on the box, the font on the packaging, lipglosses & pigment glasses always are full, which by I mean is this (bottom pic):

See how the tubes are completely full?

6. M.A.C do not sell pallette's like this:

These instore with real colours would cost over £100, not about £20, 100% fake!

7. If you have the money, just buy from any M.A.C counter or store to make sure it's authentic.

If I come across any more idea's i'll add more, if you have any questions or want me to check the item over, feel free to ask me on facebook or formspring.

P.N I'm not endorsed by M.A.C to do this, or a makeup artist, just an avid fan of M.A.C and want to stop people buying fake, If you can't afford don't fake it. You can find good quality high street eyeshadows such as Barry M (I love these, but all loose shadows and I hate fall out), Sleek and Boujois (from my own experience)

Recent Purchases: River island, MAC & Forever 21

Forever 21, £4.80 (I think) I got this for when I travel I never have a place to store my brushes, so this is my fancy way to take them :-) It's glittery leopard

Mac brush cleanser £8.50, Cleaned my brushes with this, omg my brushes look beautiful! It disinfects too so worth the money!

Decided to start my mac pro x15 pallette!! I got this in London, pics when my dad emails me some he took, the pallette was £11.50 & the eyeshadow was £9.50 for one! Please dont think the pallette comes with ANY shadows,  it doesn't it comes with none! I already knew this but some people get a bit confused with it. It's gonna be a slow process filling this! My next post will be about buying MAC products from online, as i've been asked in the past so i'll share my thoughts. My first colour is carbon if your interested, just a matte black.

Raspberry jeans, River island £30-40? can't remember I also got these in khaki green but they're in the wash

So college, i finally chose 'smart' shoes. A pair of brogues and loafers. I'm not wearing sh*tty little kitten heels, excuse my french, I hardly ever swear. But that was needed. So I chose these both river island varying between £20-30 each.

Makeup Mania!

So as everyone who knows me well, they'll know I LOVE makeup! I am getting sick of applying it though lately, as it's hard work keep applying, taking off, touch ups everyday. Anyways I thought i'd post a few makeup looks I have either tried or would like to try in the future, all very neutral colours except about two. Plus a few Kim.K looks at the bottom, I love her makeup!

Drama! Love it!

This reminds me of Nicole Scherzingers makeup in the 'Bottle Pop' Music video, love these lashes!

This one is my favorite, it reminds me of one I did before, I love coral tones

Nighttime obviously, NO smokey eye during the day! Definate NO NO NO!!!!

Sorry she looks a bit scared, I usually do something like this for the day

Did something like this recently, I love smokey eyes on nights out :-)

My favorite/most used mac lipstick shades.

I have about 6 mac lipsticks and one lipgloss, because I just use the same shade! My favorite shade for everyday was always 'creme d'nude' I wore that for about a year and a half, but found it was close to looking a bit like foundation lips. But I recently purchased lady gaga 2 and it's the perfect shade nude for my skin tone! Well I think it would suit most (not all). My favorite pink shade is 'Lady Gaga', I bought pink friday, but still haven't even tried it yet!! And for red, 'Cyndi' it's a nice deepish red, Swatches above!

(L-R) Ravishing, Lady Gaga 2, Creme D'nude, Lady Gaga, Pink Friday, Cyndi
