Douglas Haul & Review of Mac Lip Liner Boldly Bare + Mac Blush Peachykeen

This douglas haul (german makeup store) is a little bit older (it's really not like I am doing a haul every week, honest to god) so I have used the products for quite a while now! The phone case pictured is actually from claire's and I am so in love with it, I have a huge weakness for cute phone cases... and since I own an Iphone 6 literally all the cute cases fit...
But this post is actually about 2 of the makeup products I got from this haul:

As you can see I got a chubby stick and 2 NYX products also, but I won't review them now!

The Mac lipliner in the color boldly bare is something I've been wanting for quite some time, since I've seen it on Gigi Gorgeous (huge fan of her), and I finally invested 16,50€ for it. Which is quite a lot in my opinion for such a product but lets first see if it owns up to that price.

The blush is something I've gotten on the whim because I just love peach-coloured blushes and "peachykeen" also had a nice shimmer to it so I bought it for 24,50€!

First the blush:

I amped up the details on this pic to make the shimmer come out a bit clearer on it, it's a cooler toned peach color, very natural looking with added shimmer particles! I was very excited to swatch it but then this:

YES, that is actually a swatch, even swatched twice, I don't know why this particular Mac blush had to be so bad with pigmentation for me, maybe I got an old one but it's very hard to swatch it. Well it is very natural because of that but when applying I really have to use a lot of blush for it to appear on my skin... I still like the color but it's the second blush from Mac I bought that I didn't like so I'll stay away from them from now on (other Mac products work great!).

The lipliner is another story though:

The Mac lipliner are pretty popular so I did have some expectations, especially since I only owned like 2 lipliner before this one and rarely used them. This one has vitamin e and helps keep your lips hydrated!

From the swatch you can tell that it's a very subtle colour, a kind of nude-brownish shade. Though this swatch doesn't do its justice, it actually makes the lips look wonderful and even fuller!

I love this product and have been obsessing over it, I usually use the lipliner almost by itself, I apply it on my lip line and then smudge it a bit with a clear chapstick, as to not make it look to harsh and just spread the nude color of it evenly. It's a bit darker than the shade of my lips, which is really good for conturing. It has a very good hydrating formula and stays on pretty good. 

I simply love it and tried to take a selfie with both products, but the lighting is not that good (have to take my canon out pretty soon I guess):

That's quite an amusing selfie actually.... and it shows my signature face. I had to apply a lot of the blush to make it visible like that though.

The lipliner is holy grail material and will stay in my makeup collection forever! The blush not so much though unfortunately...

Btw I added the statcounter this week out of curiosity (and blocked my own visits on it) so it might seem it has few visits but it counts individually and is pretty new also- so don't judge haha

MAC Paint Pots

From a Douglas Haul some time ago I got this wonderful little thing: the MAC Paint Pot in Painterly! It cost me 20 € for 5 g and at first I was skeptical about paying such a high sum of money for a mere eyeshadow that is actually my skin color. But it is actually more!

It is also an eyeshadow base, and a damn good one at that! It has a creamy texture that melts perfectly on my skin, doesn’t feel too heavy but it lasts so so long! I sometimes just use it bare as an eyeshadow for very natural looks to make my eyes pop and look more awake! Here’s a comparison pic:

Needless to say that it makes eyeshadows of all kind more intense and long-lasting. But I really really like the bare eyeshadow, too, how smooth it looks on my lid and everything AND it is totally non-creasing. Too me the difference is big because I like a matt finish that makes my eyes look fresh! A very good investment!

J.S.Douglas Söhne Powder Spray

Some things that I buy are just pretty and fun and have no other purpose. This is one of them, the J.S.Douglas Söhne Vitamine & Shea Oil Powder Spray. I bought it for 10 € and plan on filling the flacon with perfume once it’s empty!

I have no idea how this thing you have to squeeze there is called but it’s so cute and like a real old-school perfume! Inside is gold-glittery powder that is even scented lightly and with vitamines and shea oil. I think i could use this on my face for a big flashy event because it is way too sparkly for day-time occasions! Here is how it looks sprayed on my arm (it’s kinda difficult to capture with a camera but it honestly glitters A LOT):

This is a very luxurious product to me, without being too expensive! And very girly, too! I bet this will look great on my drawer….

Douglas Online Haul

Douglas is great, when ordering online I get 2 free samples of my choosing and a little gift extra, this time I got even more and a 5 € coupon for Douglas! I feel spoiled haha Here are some of the things I wanted to get for a long time (and I will review everything!):

The stuff on the left was for free: A Clinique Age Defense BB cream, a sample sized Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in raspberry, a Vera Wang Princess Perfume Sample and a Shiseido Restoring Cream. I only chose the perfume sample and the gloss, everything else was added as an extra present!

Now to my buys:

J.S.Douglas Söhne Vitamine & Shea Oil Powder Spray, 10 €

Mac Paint Pot Painterly, 20 €

Mac Fixing Spray, 20 €

Yves Saint Laurent Crème de Blush, No 9, 40 € (why is this so expensive??)

I am very curious about the items and will try them right away.
