What should i get??

Hello, for the first time in years I am going to have money for MAC! (Okay, maybe not years, but it's been awhile!)
What should I get? Should I do the $50 and get a make-over (that's our policy here and it is my birthday..)
I had such a horrible year, lol i am going to treat myself for once and am really excited.
I love pinks (pink poddle is my fave!) but I also love red lips, i love all kinds of eye shadows.. any suggestions would help.

I reckon you should do the makeover, why not pick up some tips and then spend the money on products you liked the look of on yourself!

As for red lips check out the new limited edition Adoring Carmine Red Lips bag. SO cute! You get 2 shades of red which are gorgeous and a mini lipglass, all in this pretty bag.

Eyeshadows well there are so many, just depends what you're after, personal taste really. I'm loving the whole sexy 40s makeup at the moment though - it seems quite popular. Red lips, understated blush and neutral eyes with lots of liner! I always use Shroom, little bit of Honeylust, Woodwinked and Mineral when I attempt it, just to add a little bit of individuality. Then slightly winged Blacktrack fluidline with the skinny little 209 brush.

Have a fun shopping trip anyways - you deserve it I'm sure!

Thanks so much!

For whatever reason, I always get kinda shy when I go there.. I don't know. I'm loving the 40s look, too. I do love bold eye shadows but it seems like I get the most compliments when i just stick to neutral colors and eye-liner.
(sorry, btw for putting this in the wrong forum!)

Yeah I know what you mean, I went to MAC on Saturday, bought quite a lot of stuff then discovered some of the shades they had given me were wrong. I felt really shy going back and asking them to exchange for the correct ones, don't know quite why though!

I love brights too but I'm tending to go for stand out colour on my lips recently as opposed to eyes. Makes a nice change anyways.

Yea, same here - I always used to play up my eyes and to be real honest, my lips are a better feature for me.
