Estee Lauder/MAC Cosmetic Sale...

Alright so this is a little late, but here is what I got from the Estee Lauder/MAC/Clinque cosmetic sale last Friday:

 

1) I got a couple of MAC blushes/bronzers because I've used them before, and love the quality of the product! 

I got this shade of powder blush for $12! Actual price: $18.50

Here's an idea of of the other shade I got for $12. Actual price: $21

 2) Next thing I bought was a MAC paint pot. The texture of this product is creamy and goes on very easily and looks like eye-liner. I find it works best if applied with a stiff angle brush.

This isn't the exact product, but they didn't have a picture of the actual thing on the website! Anyway this was $10, actual price $16.50

3) I bought this lipstick for Ashley. I've never tried MAC's lipstick before (and I'm not planning on trying Ashley's before I give it to her), but I can say that it looks like it would go on smoothly/ would be moisturizing!

Once again they didn't have the exact shade on the website, but this is pretty close. This lipstick actually gives me a headache because I can't pin down the exact shade. At the sale it looked like a soft pinky-red. When I looked at in my car it seemed more coral. Any pictures I take look pale pink-orange. Now that I'm at home it looks rosy. I'm definitely eager for Ashley to try it out so I can finally nail down what shade it is! Sale price: $10, actual price: $14.50

 
4) I bought an eyeshadow for Sam (it's actually part of her Christmas gift,so Sam you better not read this!). Anyway, I have a couple of MAC eye-shadows and they're pretty nice, and literally you can find a shade for anybody! They have so much variety! 

Agh yet again, no exact shade match on the website. I can only assume that some of the products I bought have been discontinued? Anyway, Sam's eye-shadow is actually a darker pink, with a rosy hue. Sale price: $10, actual price: $14.50

 5) Alright final thing I purchased at the sale was a Clinique Supermoisture foundation,. I have been searching in vain for the perfect foundation for months now, and will literally try anything at this point. I like foundation to have coverage, but at the same time be very light, because I hate looking too made-up. After trying this foundation, I'm pretty impressed. I found that it looks best if I put a make-up primer on first, then do a very, VERY light layer of the foundation (it becomes noticeable if I put on too much).

This is the "Pure Porcelain" shade. Sale price: $12, actual price: $30. Incidentally this is the best bargain I got at the sale.

My final thoughts on the sale are that you definitely get some decent deals, but don't go if you are claustrophobic in anyway, or are afraid of crowds because that place was insane! It was just one gigantic group of women after another, and every table was surrounded by people so I had to fight my in to just get a look at the products.
