MAC | So There Jade

It's no secret that I am sucker for any cosmetic color that is teal, mint blue, sea foam green, or any other variation of that sort! So it was no surprise when Tanya Burr (how many times can I drop her name in my posts?) used this in a tutorial or mentioned it somewhere and I skipped to the store to get it. The color I am talking about is So There Jade, a Powerpoint Eye Pencil from M.A.C ($15). It's a seriously smooth gliding formula that needs just a swipe or two to become an opaque mint/teal color. I'm pretty sure Jade is a more green color, but ... technicalities, haha! 
I probably should have reviewed this in the summer time as we now seem to be getting into darker plums, reds, and berry's. I say we should but we don't have to, haha! I still really love to use this now as the weather can't make up it's mind and we keep switching back and forth from warm and cold! I've seen some people create lovely looks by covering their whole lid with this liner, smudging the edges and adding a bit of a deep blue in the crease. My personal favorite way to use this is lined on the upper lash line and then the lower lash line with heaps of mascara! The color is light enough to give you some vibrance in your eyes and make you look more awake (who doesn't love that?!) and it's still a fun pop of color without being a WHAM-BLAM-THANK-YA-MA'AM sort of look!

So what do you guys think? Was I late in the game reviewing this? Or something you may check out anyway? ;)

Mini M.A.C. Haul

I've been a bad, bad beauty addict. I spent the day in the city with my sister and her friend. I was hoping the Heavenly Creatures collection was out in stores but ... yeah, I'm not sure why I thought that. Either way I ended up in M.A.C. and started playing with the pink shadows and next thing you know I've got a mini haul!


Here's what I got:

M.A.C. Powerpoint Eye Pencil in So There Jade ($14.50)
I have been playing with this color for about a month or two now every time I walk into a M.A.C. store. (quick side note: not too fond of the way they display their eyeliners/lip liners; hardly anyone seems to notice them!) It's such a beautiful summery, teal/turquoise color. I couldn't not have it!

M.A.C. Eye Shadow Pan in Shroom ($11.00)
Shroom is the color that almost every M.A.C. fanatic has in their neutral stash. I didn't think I need another highlight color with having Urban Decay's Naked palette along with their 15th Anniversary palette. I swatched this color in the store and it's so pretty! It's not a stark white color and has a little pinky tinge to it which I loved!

M.A.C. Eyeshadow Pan in Pink Venus ($11.00)
 I don't have any pink eyeshadows. None, whatsoever. So right then, and there, I decided it was time for me to own one. I chose Pink Venus because it's the perfect shimmery/summery pink. Paired with Shroom and it looks so pretty and girly!


Hope you guys enjoyed this haul! I'm still lusting over a bunch of shadows from M.A.C. I know, bad, bad Jess. I'm supposed to be good and saving up for my trip to Boston quickly approaching (next week!) but I had to break for these two which I will no doubt be bringing along with me!

Is there anything you guys are lusting over right now? Let me know, I may start lusting after it, too! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
