New in from MAC

The other day I went to MAC to buy a couple of things. Here's what I got!

Mac Blot Powder, Mac Speed Dial, Mac Pro Longwear Compact

First I needed to purchase another one of my favourite powder, the Blot Powder. I use the shade medium in the winter, medium dark in the summer and the dark one to sculpt my face, so this time I picked up the medium dark one. It's the perfect powder for me: it's light and weightless, totally invisible and keeps my makeup in place all day. It's not at all drying but controls shine well, making me comfortable to face long days without the need to touch up. If I'm not mistaken this is my fourth one!

The second thing I had my eyes on was the new Pro Longwear SPF20 Compact Foundation. I love the regular Pro Longwear foundation, which I've had numerous samples of, and I'm interested to see if this one it's as good or even better, because a compact foundation may always come handy, especially for traveling.

Last but not least I had six empty products for the Back To Mac program, so I had a look at the lipsticks and came home with Speed Dial, a cremesheen finish. It's less bright than what you see in the photo, but it's a bit brighter than the majority of my lipstick so I thought it was worth picking up.

I'll let you know what I think of the new foundation and maybe show you a photo with the lipstick too ;-)

L'altro giorno sono andata da MAC per comprare un paio di cose. Ecco cosa ho preso!

Mac Blot Powder, Mac Speed Dial, Mac Pro Longwear Compact


Per prima cosa avevo bisogno di comprare un'altra confezione della mia cipria preferita, la Blot Powder. Uso la tonalità medium in inverno, la medium dark in estate e la dark per scolpire il viso, quindi questa volta ho preso la medium dark. Per me è la cipria perfetta: è leggerissima, totalmente invisibile e fa tenere il trucco tutto il giorno. Non secca la pelle per nulla ma controlla bene la lucidità, rendendomi tranquilla nell'affrontare lunghe giornate senza il bisogno di ritocchi. Se non mi sbaglio è la quarta volta che la ricompro!

La seconda cosa che avevo in mente di comprare era il nuovo fondotinta Pro Longwear compatto. Mi piace molto il fondotinta Pro Longwear fluido, di cui ho avuto un buon numero di campioni nel tempo, e voglio scoprire se questo è altrettanto buono o anche migliore, visto che un fondotinta compatto può fare sempre comodo, specialmente per viaggiare.

Infine avevo sei prodotti vuoti per il Back To Mac, così ho dato un'occhiata ai rossetti e sono tornata a casa con Speed Dial, dal finish cremesheen. È un po' meno forte di quello che vedete nella foto, ed è più vivace della maggior parte dei miei rossetti per cui ho pensato valesse la pena sceglierlo.

Vi farò sapere cosa ne penso del nuovo fondotinta e magari vi mostrerò anche una foto in cui indosso il rossetto ;-)

    1. Hi Divya! It's a gorgeous shade, but I'd recommend you to google some swatches to see its true colour... It's one of the few brighter lipsticks I'm comfortable wearing! x

  2. I would love to try the Pro Longwear Compact foundation - it sounds like it would be great to double up as a concealer too xx
