Help me spend a $100 at MAC

[Loveleighe]

I have a g/c to spend at MAC that i got for christmas and I don't just want to buy anything. But I need help decided what things i do want without going in there and spending $500 and then calling a day. So the limit is $100 which means I can buy about 5 or 6 items. the real limit is actually $125 but the $25 for is for more foundation. I need your suggestions.

About my makeup routine....
I wear a full face of makeup everyday. I am very much into bright colors and flamboyant looks but for my basic everyday i usually wear bronze, chocolate, khaki, gold combos. I'm trying to stay away from shimmery eyes they are starting to bug me and i feel like i'm in a rut so i'm not going to do them for a while.

I don't wear lipstick, lip liner, or blush. Although I'm up for it i just never do for some reason substituting lipglass and bronzer instead.

I also never fill in my brows, i groom them slightly. i just got into the habit of leaving them alone out of seeing how some ladies f* up their own pretty good. But I absolutely love a strong brow like brooke shields or the russian red look from the originals collection.

I'm a range between NW 43-47 i usally wear 45 but my perfect blend is a mix of all 3. I have green eyes, and my hair is colored red ( 6RR, 7RB,7 BC) and cut into a pixie cut. I have a full face with big high cheek bones and dimples it's oval shaped.

ok so that's all i could think of that would help you help me so let's hear it. If this isn't the right place for this please move it accordingly.

If you like bright colors, you should definitely try to get your hands on Parrot. There are some other good non-shimmery (or light shimmer) neutral e/s in the Originals collection, too. For me, I love playing with lips, especially if you stick with neutral eyes. You could get a few fun lipsticks or glosses.

The reflects glitters look pretty amazing, as do the originals.

Why not try getting a few of the Matte2 e/s? They have decent color payoff and there are enough of them to where I'm sure you could at least find one thing you like.

I can understand the brozner instead of blush for your coloring, but I think all ladies should rock some lipstick at some point or another. Make a day and hit the store up, see what works for you, and perhaps get a lipliner to match.

Ooh! Ooh! Don't forget to ask for some free samples

. I love those. I'm such a cheapskate.

I'd hold onto to it until A Mei, Heatherette & Fafi (unless you don't like LE packaging).

I second Parrot. I just got it today and I love it. Get some of the aqua LLL to go with it.

I recommend more than anything going there and getting a makeover so they can try several things and you'll see in advance if you like something before you buy it.

Have fun! I'm so jealous.
