MAC makeup art and cosmetics haul

Okie so on Saturday I went to the MAC store to have a look at the new Makeup Art Cosmetics.
I bought a few goodies as well (yay!! )

So I will list all the products here
(not all of them are from the collection , some are just their regular permanent products)

From the collection
Push the edge pigment
It is a beautiful purple shade and very intense. Earlier I used to never use pigments but now omg I love them. They are soo intense and all of them have a sparkle or glitter to it (i love all the sparkly and glittery things..)
Photo realism quad
Overall i found this to be the best out of the 3 quads, the eyeshadows had better payoff and i love the grey range eye shadow (i usually like dark eye shadows better)

I did not get any lip products since the only one I wanted was sold out. Yes you guessed it right it was on display lipglass :(

The other lip colors were not really unique so i skipped it.
Well now for the eye shadows the only one I really liked was off the page , rest of them did not have a good color payoff.

Okay so the other stuff (not from the collection) that i got was

Mac 226 brush
Absolutely love this brush, it just works wonders when used in the crease

Mac 222 brush
This is another great brush for the crease. Love it..

Mac Blue Brown Pigment
This brown with blue duochrome. I will do a look with it tomorrow and i will post it here.

Mac Cocomotion pigment
This is a beautiful golden bronze color , best for that bronzed goddess look.

Rags to Riches
it is such a pretty color with teal and red pearl, it soo unique

Mac Prussian eyeshadow
It is a lovely dark blue color.

And last but not the Least
Mac smolder eyekohl

So this was my small makeup haul.
