My "finals and papers are done!" haul!

[radarlove]

I had a pretty tough semester school-wise, so I decided to treat myself. I am so excited about this haul. I am building up my eyeshadow collection - I have 9 MAC shadows now! I bought some of these thanks to recommendations from you lovely folks!

MAC has really impressed me. I've always been into NARS, Stila, Bobbi Brown and other high end brands. But MAC's eyeshadows are the most reliably awesome and they have such a huge selection of colours. They also make mixing and matching really fun and easy! Plus they are cheaper than some of those other brands and in many cases are of higher quality - I think I'm a MAC shadow convert for life!

Anyways, here's my haul:

All in the packaging! 5 shadows and the 217 brush!

Copperplate, Woodwinked, All That Glitters, Sable, Ricepaper

I love them all, can't wait to try them out! Thanks for looking!

Wow those are really great starter colors!

Are you new to mac? Do you know about the eyeshadow pans and the 15-pallette?

 

[radarlove]

I do know about them and I'd like to get a palette. But I'm too scared to depot =/!

You can buy eyeshadows in pot form or pan form. In the pan form theres already a label and a cute little magnet attached in the back so you can easily place them inside the palette + its $11 vs $14 and you can Back 2 MAC them as well!

Its very very easy to depot if you dont have a flat iron i would use a candle

Thanks for your help! Can you buy pan shadows from any store or just pro stores?

We have a pro store here in Toronto but I have 3 counters closer to me so I'm lazy, haha.

Nope you cant go to a counter [the ones that are in the department stores], you can only get them in a pro or freestanding store [freestanding = mac's own little shop at the mall] or if you dont have a pro or freestanding store near you i think you can call through the mac pro number!
