MAC Haul

I was very tempted to check out the MAC Naturally collection and buy some stuff from it...however I was really disappointed with the Mineralize Eyeshadows...they just seemed a little boring to me..and I love wearing them on nights out or special occasions...but this collection had dull eyeshadows in my opinion.

HOWEVER!!!!
I did discover that MAC have added a few old mineralize shadows to their collection...upon which seeing this I was in SHOCK....therefore I just had to get my hands onto them. So does anyone remember the MAC Style Black collection? This was back in 2009 I think...and MAC released these amazing Mineralize Eyeshadows..4 of them infact. I only managed to get two of them. 'Cinderella' (A mineralized black with silver pearl) and 'Blue Flame' (A mineralized black with blue pearl). As far as I can remember these were sold out instantly and I missed out on the other two colours...which I was SO SAD ABOUT. BUTTTTT MAC have bought these back! All four shades from the Style Black collection and a new Green shade to add called 'Smutty Green' (Cream/Warm Green/Black veining) (LINK) I was just so happy to see these in the store and now I have completed my collection!

I picked up the Gilt by Association (A mineralized black with gold and bronze pearl) and Young Punk (A mineralizd black with pinkish and purple pearl) I didn't get Smutty Green as I already have that colour in another mineralize eyeshadow that was in the Venomous Villains collection. It is safe to say that I am extrememly happy with these purchases. I had wanted these colours for so so long! 

So the first swatch is of Gilt By Association  and the second is of Young Punk . (By the way...I used the Diptic app on my iPhone to take these pictures. It is so genius!)

I also got a Lipstick as I am really in love with them at the moment! I bought an Amplified Creme lipstick in Cosmo. I am really loving the pink nude shades right now and I wear them every day. So this is just another addition to my collection. It is a really long lasting type of colour and it feels so velvety on the lips.

Oh and my Dad was abroad recently and I asked him to get me a Estée Lauder Pure Colour Lipstick in Crystal Baby. I have wanted this for soooo long too! It always seems to be sold out in the stores here. I just needed a light pink that would go with everything and this was the colour for me. It does look similar to Cosmo but it is pretty different...it is more sheer with a peach undertone when applied to the lips.

Anyway that was my Haul. I am totally in love with these products!
What is your opinion on Mineralize Eyeshadows? Are they really worth it? I for one love them so much and prefer them to pigments. :)

Hope that you are all well!
