MAC Cosmetics SA Online Store

MAC Cosmetics SA recently launched their online store in South Africa, which is a great development for MAC lovers like me! At an event I attended recently we were introduced to MAC’s online offering and given the heads up on how to navigate their online site. Instead on products we were sent home from the event with a digital gift voucher to do our own shopping, on the MAC Cosmetics SA Online Store. Exciting!!!

After much deliberation I made my list of MAC goodies I wanted to buy and started shopping. Needless to say I spent more than the allotted amount on the voucher but did show a certain amount of self-control 😉

MAC Prep+Prime Lip Primer | MAC Prep+Prime Translucent Finishing Powder | MAC Cremestic Liner ~ Beurre | MAC Satin Lipstick ~ Brave | MAC Sheetone Blush ~ Peaches

Once my goodies were ordered and the payment done, all I could do was sit back and wait for my products to arrive. Lets say patience is not a virtue I possess but MAC did not disappoint on the delivery time and all the products arrived correctly as ordered! The MAC team promise a 3-8 day turn delivery time, dependent on where you live.

I thought I would share a video of my online experience and the MAC products I bought.

Modern Muse by Estee Lauder

As I may have mentioned before one of my favourite types of events to attend, are beauty events, especially if it is for a brand I am not familiar with! I find this is a great way to find out more about products, which I may not necessarily have tried before. One such event I attended recently was hosted by Estee Lauder, at the elegant Mount Nelson Hotel.

Before we got into the nitty-gritty of the Estee Lauder makeup products, we were introduced to Lauders recently launched fragrance Modern Muse, which has fast become my favourite scent for 2013!

The beautiful Lulu Ndevu, from Estee Lauder first explained the philosophy behind their new fragrance. Personally I love the strap line of Modern Muse – “Be an Inspiration” – which ties in so amazingly with my own philosophy, as a modern woman!
