I have something to confess to you. Something that is so very shameful that I have been so hesitant to share it with you guys. I have never owned a single MAC eyeshadow in my life. Before TODAY!!!

I'm not quite sure what took me so long, I sort of have been beating around the bush in terms of buying cosmetics, usually investing money in foundation, powders and such. To be completely honest, I actually wasn't aware that MAC was a big deal until I started to become interested in reading makeup blogs. 

But yesterday, I had a plan. I had a plan to introduce something amazing to my collection. I also had a plan to go to the mall. In preparation, I spent many hours on the internet specifically looking for what are the best MAC eyeshadows for beginners, and I had made a list of products that was smart and sensible.

When I had arrived at the MAC store, I guess you could say some of my plans fell through. I had dropped the list and had gone swatch crazy, blissfully coloring my hand with shadows until I looked like a rainbow. Before entering the store, I totally was unaware of the fact that if you purchase a $12 palette with the eyeshadows, each eyeshadow will cost only $11 instead of $14.50. So I decided to go with this deal, and ended up choosing 8 beautiful versatile colors:


  1. Black Tied
  2. Knight Divine
  3. Deep Truth
  4. Clarity
  5. Swimming
  6. Aquadisiac
  7. Cranberry
  8. Beautiful Iris

I also picked up the 217 brush, which I LOVE by the way. It is so so so much easier to shade in the outer V with this brush than a flat brush in my opinion, which makes me so happy because that means I can spend less time trying to correct and perfect the outer corner of my eye. I felt like such a little girl with my bag of MAC shadows, I wanted to go home immediately and play with them and put them in the palette! So now you can expect me actually using some MAC colors that you may be familiar with in my upcoming videos! Yay!
