MAC In The Groove Haul

I had the most fantastic time last night. I was lucky enough to have a ticket to a MAC Technique evening. Basically we turned up, got a foundation sample and a glass of bubbly (ta very much!) and watched an hour long demo by some wonderful makeup artists. After that we had an hour with a whole load of brushes, products and very helpful MUA’s to just sit and play. The ticket price went towards any purchases thankfully so I didn’t do too much damage to my bank account.

I didn’t think the new collection was out until today but the stand was up! Here is what I treated myself to from In The Groove:

Togetherness Mineralize Eyeshadow Trio


By Candle Light Mineralize Skin Finish



Comfort Mineralize Skin Finish



Petticoat Mineralize Skin Finish

Stereo Rose Mineralize Skin Finish


I may yet go back and get a couple more eyeshadows. I wasn’t blown away by the lip products and I was already planning on buying a lipglass from the permanent line so I abstained.

Whilst I was there I also picked up Viva Glam Cyndi as every other time I’ve been there it’s been out of stock. I was tempted to get Gaga too simply because it’s for charity but I know I’d never wear the colour. I’ll just buy another Viva Glam lippie another time (I have V which I love).


I also got a lustreglass in Love Nectar simply because I tried it on during the ‘play time’ and loved how it looked.



Finally I picked up a 239 brush as one of the MUA used hers to apply basically EVERYTHING with great results.

Swatches and reviews will follow. If there is anything you’d like to hear about first let me know! xx

  5. Looks like a great haul! The eyeshadow looks like similar shades to the topshop one I got. Maybe we can review and compare?

  7. Glitter and Love - Such a shame you couldn't come! If they do one again you really should. All the girls were so helpful x

    Kelly - I'm not sure I like how sticky it is but it's just so darn pretty! x

    Kat O - I'm loving by candle light as a highlighter. It's lovely and shimmery with no chunky glitter. And the brush bizzarly is my new favourite concealer brush! x

    Cotton - I'm in danger of trying to collect them lol x

    Anna - That's a fab idea! I'll be popping up a review in the near future. It will be great to compare :-) x

    Missy Ellie - Good choices! If you don't have Petticoat it is beyond gorgeous. I would reccomend! x
