MAC Lipsticks - Fall Inspired

I thought I would share some swatches of the last three MAC lipsticks I bought.

The shade is also available in the regular black packaging, but I chose this packaging because it was the same price and it looks more special. FAUX (S) - muted mauve pink TWIG (S) - soft muted brown pink VELVET TEDDY (M) - deep tone beige My favourite out of three is Twig and it is the perfect shade for the autumn/fall season. My MAC lipstick collection is coming on quite nicely and I can’t wait to buy more shades. ♥ ♥ ♥

I bought some inserts to use in the drawers and they didn’t fit, so I was annoyed at that anyway. You can only pull the drawers out two thirds of the way, so you have a little wasted space at the back that you can’t reach. I suppose you could modify it, but I’m not messing about. I had to buy some cutlery trays to store my make-up in and I am not overly happy with the results, but it will do for now! The unit is a lot smaller than it looks and I always wondered why bloggers tend to have more than o...
