As I was out shopping with some girl friends of mine I noticed something. We were looking around and testing out some makeup products. That's when it hit me.........I'm not in awe with MAC products anymore.
When I first graduated highschool (and a couple years after) I was in love with the line. Even though the prices were a little steep for my pocketbook I always thought they had the better eye shadows/blush/face powder. I loved how the theme seemed "stage" like or sway towards the bold "theatre" look. All the colors popped out and were so vibrant.
As the years passed I got to know more people and made more friends that shared their favorite beauty products with me. Blogs and beauty sites slowly got introduced into my world, and I realized that you don't need that MAC eye shadow to make the eyes "pop" or that $30 blending brush to get that smokey eye look. NYX became a cheaper alternative for eye palette colors and eventually I cut ties with any type of face foundation/powder products just to help better my skin.
Now I 'm not saying people shouldn't like/use MAC, but I definitely think that their products need to amp it up a little. I had a gift card to use up at the store and I just couldn't push myself to find anything......... The makeup brushes were way too much ($50 for a blush brush?? Are you kidding me?? Good thing there's a Target right down the road so I can get some E.L.F ones for 3/4 the price) The foundation looked too heavy, lipstick formula isn't long lasting, and even their facial cleansing products seemed weak. I feel like in order to get the "right" results you have to cake on the the stuff. Most of my friends were foundations/powders from the MAC line and swear it's been good to them. And by all all means, the results do look good on them. Maybe it's just the fact that I live in this hot weather and nothing seems to be able to stay on right. Hmmmm.....maybe. But anyway, I've used almost everything from their line and I'm just not impressed anymore. Our relationship has come to a complete end it seems..... :(
