MAC in a box :)

Recently i was just browsing the MAC website, as you do, and something popped up telling me that unfortunately the website was not working fully and so i couldn't actually place an order, but if i subscribed by email, they would send me a message when the site was up and running again AND give me a free Haute and Naughty mascara with any purchase. Of course i was going to take advantage of this offer, as that mascara is worth £17.50. So once they sent me an email saying that the website was fixed, i had another look for a while before i found what i wanted to get.

Now one of the things i have to say about the MAC website, is that it is very, very difficult to tell what the colours are like. When you shop at a MAC store, you can swatch the products and try them on, but when your shopping online, you might as well be blind. But luckily i knew that somewhere on the wonderful internet, one lovely blogger would have swatched the colours i was interested in. I decided i wanted a coral/orange lipstick for summer and after looking on the site for a while i discovered Ravishing and once i had seen the swatches, i ordered it.

True to their word, MAC sent me a mascara too, which im not opening yet, as i want to finish my Benefit Bad Gal Lash first. But here are pictures of what they both look like:

As i said, im not opening my Mascara yet but i will do a review once i have used it etc. But onto the lipstick, which is described on the website as : Clean light peachy coral and i think it definitely is, but a bit more orange. The swatch on the website did not put the colour to justice, because it really is a pretty colour which is perfect for summer. It really is a beautiful orangy coral colour, i just cannot wait to wear it with a tan!

Lots of love

Laura
