MAC Customer Service

This is just a quick ramble on how i love the MAC customer service they have recently given me! Customer Service for me is important so i think everyone everywhere should be treated how i was!

Last Wednesday i was looking on their site for a new foundation  and was really wishing i could have help from a member of staff at MAC, but unfortunately i couldn't as my nearest store is in Milton Keynes which is an hour and a bit away from me or Birmingham and i just didn't have time to travel there and back. I then thought i would find an email address to see whether there  was an option for a sample or some advice. I found the email an artist button and that is what i did. You have to fill out a couple of details about your skin and makeup preferences and then write what you want to discuss. Over the weekend i had then forgot about me emailing MAC and just decided to take the plunge and buy the MAC studio sculpt and on Monday i got an email reply from Liz a makeup artist at MAC! I was shocked to even see i had a reply but the email was packed with lots of information and told me they would love to help me find a foundation! Liz then told me how to find my undertone so here is a tip for any of you if you don't know your MAC shade you simply just clench your fist - if your knuckles appear white you are an NC shade (yellow) and if your knuckles appear more pink you are an NW shade (pink) that's easy right? So after finding out i was NC15 which id guessed i was anyway i told Liz and then asked her to recommend me a foundation as i told her about my skin type. I then got another email from Liz with the recommended foundation, she recommended Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 Foundation provides medium-full coverage, she told me lots about the foundation, how i should apply this and how i could built more coverage with it.

I then sent her my address and awaited my foundation sample and it came this morning! horaayyy!! Not only did i just get a sample of the foundation the lovely girls at MAC also send me some prep + prime to pop under it. I was so happy to receive this brilliant service! I didn't think i would end up with a sample but it only took 3 days to come when i was told to allow 7-10 days! I think this MAC service needs to get more credit! They are great.

If you want to email an artist click here to do so.

Please note: Samples of foundation are available to customers who live out with a 20 mile radius of a MAC Store or Counter. Should you have access to a MAC Store or counter we advise that you pop in and an Artist will be happy to provide you with a sample of foundation that you wish to try if not I would be happy to organise a sample for you. MAC also never asked me to do this review, i'm doing it as i'm guenuiely happy with this service.

Glam Eyes!!

The other day when i bought my Garnier Anti-Dark Circle my mums boyfriend treated me to a lovely new mascara which was the Rimmel London Day 2 Night so here is my review on it.

What Rimmel say about the product: our first mascara that creates two dramatically different lash looks with just one brush. The secret is the magic double cap! Multi-tasking 2 in 1 defined length/intense volume mascara. Top cap: exceptionally defined and ultra-lengthened lashes. Bottom cap: thickens lashes with voluptuous, oversized volume. No clumps.

Why i like it? I like this product because it is actua;;y true to what iy says it does. It creates two different lash looks with in the one mascara. I was abit weary whether to buy this mascara or now as i thought it would be rubbish, that it would create a clumpy look with both brushes. How wrong was i? If i use the lengthening cap ut truely makes my lashes long and defined. If i team it with the volume cap it makes them think and dark without the clumps – very ideal for when you want your lashes to be noticed. I also think the packaging is great, very eye catching and noticeable. As well as retailing for £7.99 at Boots, whilst getting a free gift when spending over £6 on selected Rimmel products or alternatively you can get it at Superdrug for the same price without the free gift! It is a brilliant affordable high street mascara that i do recommend!

TAG: Whats In My Makeup Bag!

I have seen lots of videos on youtube of ‘tag what's in my bag’ but haven't yet seen any on anyone's blog. So i thought i’d do a post of what's in my make up bag! So ill quit talking and get on and show you what's i have in my makeup bag..

First up i have my Volume Million Lashes by L’Oreal! I highly recommend this mascara, the brush defines every lash leaving them clump free, longer and darker. A day doesn’t go by when i don’t wear this mascara. Although it is a bit pricey at £11.29 but i’d say its worth it!

I also carry my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15. Not a lot i can say about this, it does what it says. Covers my blemishes well, hides dark circles. You can buy it here for £13.50.

My recent big makeup spend was my foundation. After reading high reviews i went to buy Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation in Bone. At £26.50 i hoped this foundation lived up to the standards of staying in place and it does. For me this foundation stays in place the whole day! And that's something i want in a foundation, it also gives me full coverage whilst allowing my skin to breathe. The only downfall for me is i had foundations that don’t have a pump, and this one doesn’t but my MAC pump fits on so i tent to use that. Another product i highly recommend.

This is my black Astor  Colour Proof Automatic Eyeliner. I use this on my waterline to define my eyes even more. Great product stays in place all day! Here's a tip if you put your eyeliner under a hot hairdryer for a couple of seconds it should go softer, therefore it will set harder on your eyes meaning it will stay on for longer. Let me know if you try this and how it works for you!

These are my two Bourjois Ombre Stretch eye shadows that i wear every day, in the colours 09 Brun Nylon and 04 Flexi Brown. I wear 09 over the whole lid and i wear 04 on the outer corner, These are the only eye shadows i’ve found that don’t crease in any way and what stay put throughout the day. They come in this cute packaging that has a compact mirror in and also comes with a mini brush you can apply the eye shadow with. You can buy them separately for £6.49.

This is my Bourjois Paris Ultra Black Clubbing Liner. I can’t go a day without wearing liquid eyeliner and it took me a long time to find this one. Its perfect for me! It has a thin liner brush for getting a thin precision line that can be thickened to your likeness. The liner doesn’t crack if you wear it all day nor smudge. You can buy this for £5.99 although i bought mine at the Clothes Show 2010 at a much cheaper price.

This is the final product in my makeup bag and its the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder in Medium. This MAC product was one of the first i bought last November! I honestly can’t believe its lasted this long and obviously still has many more months to be had out of it. This powder locks my foundation on even more lasting all day. This powder doesn’t give me any shine and gives a nice natural look. You can buy this product here for £18.50 which is a bargain considering its lasted me 9 months!!
This post is a long one but i hope you all enjoy it. Please comment telling me what's in your makeup bags! And if you have any of the products that i have! :)xxx
