MAC Tropical Taboo Haul

I told you guys this would be a small haul! Between all of these limited edition releases and my excessive hauling I’m feeling a little MAC’d out! After indulging in All About Orange (I just realized I owe you guys a haul post!) and  RiRi Hearts MAC I couldn’t muster up too much excitement for Tropical Taboo. It’s a beautiful collection though so I just had to grab a few things. Check it out!


I’m a huge fan of MAC’s Mineralize Skinfinish powders but the new shades released in Tropical Taboo left much to be desired for women of color so I grabbed two blushes instead. Simmer is a warm peachy champagne mix that would look beautiful on any complexion. Exotic Ember is a MUST have for women of color. It’s an orangey bronze mix that’s absolutely gorgeous! It’s the deep bronze highlighter I’ve been searching for all of my life!

No haul is complete without lippies! Narcissus has made its way back onto shelves and of course I had to snag it! I just love Cremesheen glasses and I know it’ll look gorgeous over my purple lippies like Seductive Intent and Strong Woman. I also picked up the neutral pinky nude Have To Have It lip liner which I just LOVE! It’s one of those liners you can pair with any lipstick without altering the color much.

I rounded up my Tropical Taboo haul with the limited edition 159 brush. I was on the fence about it until I played around with the blushes using it. It picks up just the right amount of color and shimmer! The size and shape works perfectly with my small face. I’m actually thinking of ordering a backup because I like it so much!
