My Foundation Collection

Hey Ladies,
I thought it would be fun to show you my Foundation collection today. Given the time of year I am sure we are all getting dolled up and hopefully here I can help some people in making decisions when it comes to what foundation they are wanting to purchase.

Top Picks - Makeup Blogs/Sites

Hey Guys!
I thought it would be fun to share some of my favourite makeup/beauty blogs with you all :)

These are in no particular order

www.temptalia.com - I love Christine's site so much!!! Christine is the only blogger (I know off) that reviews every single Mac collection and product that comes out with it. She will usually review before US date also which is great for preparation!!!
Her reviews work of a rating system, some don't necessarily agree with this however for me, when something is given full points I look twice as I trust her opinion and truly believe all her opinions are honest!! (She was also chosen to create her own Mac eyeshadow!!)

www.macshadowcombos.com - Zabrena is such a sweet heart!! out of all the blogs I reached out too she took the time to comment on here!!
What I like best about Zabrena's blog is that it is 1) original and 2) targets a wider audience of MAC lovers.
Zabrena does not get wrapped up in all the new Mac collections, but rather introduces permanent colors into her combinations so that it is much more affordable and easy to get your hands on. I also love the fact that she gives me new ideas as to how to use my already existing eye shadows!!

www.specktra.net - Specktra Is not so much an individual blog but more so a forum. Basically each collection is given a page and people from all around the world report on what they are expecting, what they would like to see in collections, new released info and links to other pages. Once collections launch people start to comment on what they bought, what they did with it etc etc. Most die hard Mac fans will be found on Specktra.

These are the blogs that I follow RELIGIOUSLY there are plenty more fantastic blogs out there.

What are your favourite blogs?

MAC Cosmetics Counter to open in Marion Shopping Centre

EXCITING NEWS!
I reached out to MAC Australia in regards to a rumour I had heard about a MAC Store opening in Westfield Shopping Centre.

IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED We will see a 3rd store shortly :)

There response was as follows

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in M.A.C
We are working on a M.A.C Counter in Westfield Marion.The counter will not be a Pro Store."

So there you have it another counter we can all get addicted too :)

Fake Versus Authentic Mac Eyeshadows

Hey Guys first Post please pass on any feedback you may have :)

I understand we all want a bargain and in Australia MAC is very expensive! we pay $33 per eyeshadow from counters.
I'm hoping this review will be helpful to some and help you all save money and get a fair, legitamate product.

I think it is a good idea for a new MAC eyeshadow buyer to purchase their first eyeshadow from the counter, this way you have a definate authentic to compare with. I also keep all my MAC boxes (a whole cupboard full) so that if I am every wary of a product i have plenty of legitimate packaging to compare!

FAKE VERSUS AUTHENTIC
The Box
*The box will have a sticker on the top lip with the name (the real have name only NO NUMBERS!!)

*The front will say EYE SHADOW FARD A' PAUPIERES above the round cut out and NET WT./POIDS NET 1.5G/.05 US OZ E on the bottom front. WATCH FOR CORRECT SPELLING

*There will be a barcode on the bottom with  a serial number below and above will have a 3 digit code i.e - A99

*The back of the box will have text on the bottom LHS

The eyeshadow

*The box will be matte not shiny! with MAC written on it the dots between ma and ac will be small!

*Inside the eyeshadow will sit in from the lid (the fakes sometimes are raised)

-*The clasp will be on the base (fakes are commonly on the lid)

*The lid will be flush, not raised!

*the sticker on the base will contain  the name and the finish i.e - veluxe pearl, frost, matte etc, all this will be in white

*The same 3 digit number (i.e A99 as mentioned) will be in black on the back

Please feel free to send me any photos or questions you may have and I would be happy to assist.
