MAC Surf Baby: Full of Grace Sun Tint

MAC's new Surf Baby collection came out with 3 lip balms called Sun Tints which contain SPF 20. I picked up the one called Full of Grace which is a soft sheer rose and the "darkest" color of the three. In all honesty the only reason I didn't get the other two is because they're all pretty much the same sheer color when applied. I just thought it would've been a waste of money to all three. Also, these are VERY sticky. I'm actually thinking about returning it and getting something else because I just can't stand how sticky it is. I wanted it for the SPF because I burn very easily in the sun, but I don't think it's worth it.

MAC Surf Baby: Strange Potion Lipglass

MAC's new Surf Baby collection consists of 4 new lipglasses, but I only fell in love with one of them and that is Strange Potion. It's a soft coral pink and is an amazing POP of color item. I think this is going to be a very flattering color on a variety of skin tones.

MAC Surf Baby: Eyeshadows

MAC's new Surf Baby collection came out with 5 new shadows. I picked up 3 of them in Saffron, Swell Baby and Surf USA. Saffron is a deep coral caramel. Swell Baby is a mid-tone grey. Surf USA is a frosted teal. All three of these are beautiful shades. The collection also contains Short Shorts which is a frosty white champagne and Sun Blonde which is a dirty yellow gold. I didn't feel that Short Shorts was unique enough to purchase and although Sun Blonde is very unique and I have nothing like it, I just pictured it sitting in a palette and never being used....I might go pick it up tomorrow though lol.

MAC Surf Baby: Refined Golden Bronzing Powder

MAC's new Surf Baby collection consists of 2 bronzing powders and this one is in Refined Golden which can be purchased through their permanent line in regular packaging. The color is a beautiful light bronze with golden flecks. It's absolutely beautiful and gives the skin a nice golden sheen.

MAC Surf Baby: My Paradise Cheek Powder

MAC's new Surf Baby collection consists of this beautiful cheek powder called My Paradise. It's a beautiful coral/peach color with a gold hibiscus flower. The gold is just an over-spray and disappears almost completely with one swirl of the brush, but it's just gorgeous. The color is flattering on many skin tones and is perfect for the summer.

MAC Haul: Surf Baby Collection

As many of you may know, MAC's newest collection, Surf Baby, came out today!!! I don't know about you, but I am a MAC fanatic. I own just about everything MAC has in their permanent line as well as many, many, MANY limited edition items. I could probably buy a house with what I've spent on my MAC collection lol.

I only picked up 7 pieces from this collection, as only 7 items called to me. You're probably going, "What? No pigment stacks?!?!" Yes, I know shame on me, but the colors just seemed like colors of pigments I already own or atleast shadows I already own. So I passed. I got My Paradise cheek powder, Refined Golden bronzing powder, Saffron, Swell Baby and Surf USA shadows, Strange Potion lipglass and Full of Grace suntint (which is beyond too sticky).

~Love the pearl white packaging~

Haute Look Haul: LORAC Cosmetics

For those of you who don't know, Haute Look is a site that sells high end designer labels for a HUGE DISCOUNT. They sell makeup, clothing, jewelry, sunglasses, vacations, etc. You name it, they most likely sell it. I love shopping on Haute Look for high end cosmetics because I can get them a huge discounted price. My recent Haute Look purchase are these 4 items by LORAC Cosmetics. I got each product for $1.99 when they normally cost about $20 and up. Great deal!!! I got 3 shadows in the shades GODDESS, BLACK, and LUSH. I also got a On Screen Duo (cream liner and highlight color) in FAME & FORTUNE. I totally recommend checking out Haute Look for some really awesome deals!
