{Make Me Up Monday} M.A.C. Surf, Baby

It's been a while since I have visited my favorite place at the mall....the M.A.C. counter.  Of course, I was welcomed back with open arms. LOL

With summer weather in it's full glory, I decided to try to find something new I can use for the summer.  I barely wear, if any, makeup over the summer months.  A smidge of gloss, a touch of mascara and I am out the door.  With the blazing sun and humidity, I rather wear as little as possible.

I decided to take a look at their new Surf, Baby line and found exactly what I was looking for.  Being extremely obsessive about soft, healthy, moisturized lips, their suntints with SPF 20 was the perfect choice.  I purchased "Full of Grace".  It has a hint of a rose colored tint.  And I mean "hint", if someone wants something with more pigmentation, then I would not recommend this product.  I purchased this more so for the sun protection factor, and for the fact it feels super moist.  Most lip protections I've tried in the past go on very waxy or feel incredibly greasy.  Not a good combination when using it in the heat or by the water.  What I found incredible about this was when my MAC consultant demonstrated even emerged in water, it will not wash off easily.  Perfect for use at the beach or pool!

I most definitely recommend giving the M.A.C. Surf, Baby suntints a try.  I happily have added this to my summer make-up bag.

{Make Me Up Monday} MAC Venemous Villians of Disney Collection

The day I was anxiously awaiting for had arrived!

Cruella DaVil

MAC launched their Venomous Villians of Disney Limited Edition Collection.  I am sure I have said it many times before, but I am a huge fan of MAC cosmetics.  Yes, you do spend a little more than your average drugstore brand, and Lord knows, I love to save a buck here and there.  But since being introduced to MAC cosmetics by my sister several years ago (she gave me a very generous birthday gift of an array of eyeshadows and a lipstick), I have become a believer that sometimes, you get what you pay for.  I adore the fact that with MAC cosmetics, a little literally goes a long way.

I stopped by my local MAC store several weeks ago to get a new fall shade of lipstick and was told by my MAC girl, Ebony, the launch for the new line would be on October 1st.  She then invited me to reserve my spot for a makeover and try the new products, no purchase necessary. (Right....like you can go for a makeover at MAC and NOT buy any products, :) )  Of course, having seen the line, I happily obliged.

All of the colors were amazing.  I did tend to gravitate towards The Evil Queen.  The makeover was beautiful, as always.  I then carefully made my selections.

Which two items are not the proud new additions to my makeup bag?

In particular, their lustre lipstick shade, The Prowl.

Great autumn shade!  I will be treating myself to this beauty this weekend!
