    Previously Depotted MAC Eyeshadows

    I've just finished depotting all my MAC eyeshadows as I had collected quite a few over the years.

    Look in a Box: Gothette

    Ok so here's how I entertained myself today. The eyes were out of one of those Look in a Box sets that MAC do, I was lucky enough to pick one up at Gatwick airport the other week. Less than £30 and you get three eyeshadows, a blacktrack fluid line and little brush, a lippy and a mascara (all...
