I had a pretty good idea about what products I wanted, knowing I wanted a few lipsticks, a concealer and a foundation.
I tried a couple of the foundations out, eventually choosing Macs Studio Fix. I liked that it was full coverage, which perhaps is an odd choice to make in summer, but the medium coverage one I tried (the mineralized one I think) I felt that it made my skin look greasy. I bought a pump to go with my foundation for about £3 because I hate foundations without the pump. I don't understand why almost all cheaper foundations come with pumps, yet high end ones don't? Anyway, in the duty free, my foundation was £17.50.
I also bought the Pro Longwear concealer. I really don't understand why this comes with a pump, yet the foundations don't. So far, I'm really enjoying using this, but it's hard to get the exact amount you need. This cost £12.50 in the duty free.
Lastly, the three lipsticks I bought were Girl About Town, Rebel and Heroine. I've only worn Girl About Town upto now, as the other two are more winter lipsticks. These were £12.50.
I was also lucky enough to receive a sample of Macs Prep and Prime in the post. That was waiting for me when I got back.
I hope you enjoyed reading my post. What was your first ever Mac purchase?

DeleteLovely choices! I adore Heroine, it's one of my fave ever lipsticks. I think my firs MAC item was lipstick in Myth which is totally the wrong shade for me! Www.Emlota.Wordpress.Com xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I went to a counter because a lot of shades people hype about didn't suit me at all! xx
