MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow Dupes


MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow is one of the best seller's of their products. It's a gorgeous brown described as a 'taupe brown with silvery bronze shimmer'. It is a beautiful colour that would suit any complexion.


The most perfect dupes that I found for it are:
  • Max Factor's Earth Spirit eyeshadow in Burnt Bark
  • Make Up Store eyeshadow in Velvet.
Both have a very similar (almost exact) finish/colour pay off as the Satin Taupe. Although, the Make Up Store Velvet is slightly darker than the Satin Taupe.


I have all my MAC eyeshadows depotted, therefore it looks very small in comparison to the dupes here. However, it does not take away from the fact that the MAC shadow contains very very little of the actual product: 1.5g vs the Make Up Store's 3.5g and vs Max Factor's 5g. Which is a substantial difference in the value you get for the exact same quality.

MAC Lip Pencil in Subculture Review




MAC describe Subculture as underground pink. This shade is a very neutral colour that goes well with my pale pink lips and does not interfere with any colour I may put on.

MAC Lipstick in Patisserie (Lustre) Review




MAC describes Patisserie as a sheer creamy neutral pink. It's a lovely shade of pale natural pink. Very wearable for everyday.

MAC Nail Polish Frost in Hi Lily, Hi Lo Review

With Flash

Without Flash
Hi Lily, Hi Lo is from an old MAC collection. It's an old time favourite of mine, and is still going strong. :) The colour is a pale lavender, and you only need two coats to get a full colour.

MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder Review





This is the finest setting powder I ever came across. It sets any foundation beautifully and helps it last the longest. Superb fine setting powder, love it!

MAC Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack Review



I could not be more disappointed with this liner from MAC.. Yes it is super easy to draw a perfect line, but then how perfect will it come out when there is almost no pigment in this! This really does remind of a bad marker I had in school that's dry out, and makes that screeching noise when you're trying to draw something... Ugh, this has to be on my list for MAC's worst products ever!

MAC Powder Blush Satin in Equilibrium








I don't have many blushes from MAC, so there was absolutely no excuse for me to leave this one behind! Plus it was exactly what I was looking for, something nudey and natural for a daily wear, and something that you absolutely cannot over do, and voila! Equilibrium!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle Review


I love this highlighter! It looks absolutely gorgeous on! 

The few things I don't love so much are the packaging, it really isn't great. The blush is sort of dome shaped, so when you pick some up with your brush, there's little specks of shiny stuff flying around everywhere. It just looks kind of messy in the package too, when you first open it. This is probably due to the powder not being as fine as it could possibly be, I'm thinking Bobbi Brown Shimmerbricks here, which are so so finely milled.

Other than those two points, I still love and use it. The glow you get from this is very natural, and beautiful.
