MAC Haul - In The Groove (plus other new goodies)

Yes, you would have noticed by now that this is in fact my second haul in three days, but I didn't have time to go and have a good look at the In The Groove products when I went into the MAC store in Westfield, London where I originally bought two superglasses. I just went in to the store, had a quick look at the superglasses, bought the 2 that caught my attention the most and walked straight out. So, when I went to my local MAC store this morning, the In The Groove collection was my main focus point.


I had previously looked on the MAC website collection but nothing really caught my eye and made me think 'I HAVE to have that.' And when I went to the store this morning, I pretty much had the same reaction. However, there were those few products (obviously the ones I picked up) that I thought 'yes, I HAVE to have THAT!'


I have to say that I wasn't really too impressed with the eyeshadows or the blushes. The eyeshadows all had some type of taupes/browns or just plainly neutral colours really, which I'm quite bored of because having my skin tone, I tend to have a huge collection of all the neutral colours because they keep me in my 'comfort zone' when it comes to make up. The blushes however, were just colours that were either too light for me, or just colours that I wouldn't know how to work with on my skin tone - so I steered clear.


Here's a list of all the products that I picked up from the 'In The Groove' collection + pictures:
1. Mineralize Eyeshadow Trio - Togetherness
2. Frost Lipstick - Costa Chic (which I didn't think was part of the collection, but it was on the display - it's not part of the collection on the website either but I think they had it on display to replace 'Jazzed' which is sold out)
3. Cremesheen glass - You've got it
4. Mineralize Skin Finish - Petticoat

I also managed to pick another superglass in - Gift Wrap:

One Year Anniversary! =D

Yerp! Today marked my one year anniversary of making videos on youtube, and I can honestly say that I could NEVER have done it without all of the support my subscribers and everyone else has generously given me!

I remember sitting in front of the camera for the very first time with my horribly ungroomed eyebrows, filming my 'Grey and purple look'. I watch it now and I actually cringe at how posh my accent comes across and I remember how uncomfortable I was talking to myself - all in the hope that people would see it and subscribe (false hope maybe?) ... I must have done something right because I did gain subscribers, so I carried on making videos and here I am a year later with 187 subscribers (I know that's probably not that much for some of you but it's a lot for me, and it means a lot to me too), and over 20,000 views on one of my videos (I still can't believe that every time I say it haha).

I have to admit that I've learnt a lot about make-up in the last year and I'm 100% sure that I'll carry on learning more, and (unfortunately for my bank account) my make-up collection will continue to grow exponentially!

For now though, I'd just liked to throw out a MASSIVE thank you to all my subscribers... and once I start my job in September I'm definitely going to be having a contest to show how much I appreciate the support from you guys! Sure, I was laughed at, and still am by many I'm sure, but it's your support that means the most to me! =D

I hope I can continue to give you videos that you want to watch (remember to send me in your requests because that's how I know EXACTLY what you guys wanna watch) and I hope that you continue watching enjoy watching my videos!

Thank you guys soooooooooo much for everything!
