MAC Haul/Swatches - Prolongwear Concealer, Foundation & Cut A Caper Lippie

>> Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Hey ya'll! I was pleasantly surprised this morning to receive my MAC package that I ordered Sunday night, Im so happy they had a free overnight shipping deal for cyber Monday! Quick vent: I hate shopping malls, I only go when its a MUST!...something about the crowds and unruly children annoys me so bad! Dont get me wrong, Leah Luhv da kids but it bothers me how some parents let their children walk so far away from them! I always see some child walking unattended then I get scared and think, "omg! someones gonna snatch him! I gotta alert the authorities" then I see a parent wayyyyy down the aisle pushing an empty stroller. Im not a parent but if I should be so blessed one day I swear my kids will be walking arms-length from me until theyre like 15 lol. Vent, ended. Moving on...

Ive been waiting to purchase the ProLongwear (PL) Concealer and Foundation ever since I went to MAC last month and a MUA applied it on me. It lasted ALL DAY! Unfortunately both the concealer and foundation in my shade (NW25/30) was sold out :( I still have a lot of my trusty old ColorStay but Im beginning to become increasingly annoyed by the no-pump glass bottle. I knew I wanted to order it online but I wanted to wait for friday so I can get the PINK FRIDAY lipstick. Did any of you get PINK FRIDAY??? If so, PUH-LEEEEZEE direct me to your review. I have Snob and Pink Noveau...not to mention a million other similiar color lippies so Im going back an forth whether I should buy it or not...is it worth it??? Of course, it was sold out...BUT to my surprise, as I was ordering the Concealer & Foundation online Sunday, I found that they re-stocked Cut A Caper!!! Ive been wanting it so bad since I missed out on Jazzed! Cant wait to wear it and I will update w/ a FOTD soon :) Here are some pics, swatches & Review


MAC Prolongwear Foundation in NW30, $29.50
Finally found my color match!!! Ive read many reviews on this saying the coverage is full but IMO its has light to medium coverage. It dries on a bit dewy but can easily be mattified with a finishing powder. I love MATTE finishes so I always shied away from this but fell in love when the MAC MUA first applied.
 See how well it blends, you can tell where I applied it on my skin where its a bit shiny
MAC Prolongwear Concealer in NW25, $16.50
I initially wanted the Studio Finish Concealer because it was water proof but then I thought...Its not like I dip my face underwater on a daily basis get sweaty easy. Perhaps Ill buy it in the summer. The are the same price anyway except that the PL Concealer yields .06 more product, and comes in a pump! Youre more at risk for wrinkes using your fingers to apply makeup due to the constant tugging.
 You can see more color of the foundation here, the pink undertone is so evident! Hopefully this still works on my face...Seeing this makes me think I may be NW25. I get lighter during the winter months
 MAC Lipstick in Cut A Caper, $14.50
Im so happy I got this! I just checked online and its sold out already. To me this lipstick is EXACTLY how it is desribed on the site - a midtone peachy pink...moreso on the pink side. Its so pretty! I must stress though that this is VERY VERY SHEER!!!! The swatches are taken after Ive applied it with like 5 or 6 strokes! Nothing that cant be remedied with a little concealer or lip erase though

Did you do any damage this past Black Friday/Cyber Monday??? I would really like to know because I usually dont shop during Black Friday and Im curious if the deals are really worth it...

Hope ya'll are having a wonderful day today! Thanks for reading loves :)
