MAC Cosmetics Summer Essentials!

Purple is taking over the streets as Jacarandas bloom and the temperatures get higher. Summer is officially here and MAC ’s Sam Levy’s Store in Harare has some key summer essentials to keep you trendy and sexy for the new season.

Here is a run down of my favourite items for summer available at the Mac Sam Levy’s Village store:

MAC Prolonged Powder

With the intense heat that is known in this part of the world during summer and where we are constantly looking for zero shine . You definitely need to stay fresh all day long and that is exactly what the MAC prolonged powder does. Especially for fellow beauty lovers like myself who have oily skin. This powder is sweat and humidity resistant ideal for those hot and sweaty days.

MAC Vibe Tribe

Well the collections name was received with mixed a mixed reception. The new range is fun and colourful. From its aztec inspired packaging to the exclusive lip sticks and highlighters. It screams summer and I am especially loving the Pure Vanity lipstick in this range. Vibe Tribe consists of beautiful corals , red and gold which are a perfect combination of nudes and glistering tangerines. Minus the name controversy , I’m definitely vibing to this collection this season.

Ariana Grande VIVA GLAM 2

Ariana returns with her second collection for MAC and makes use of lighter tones this time with pinks/purples including a lipstick and lip glass . This time the VIVA Glam 2 lipstick is bold and bright while the lip glass is more subtle and muted. Something for every occasion for your summer calendar.

MAC Oil Control Lotion

Sweaty days return this season and so does oily skin. In summer , oily skin is one of my biggest issues and I am always looking at how to reduce my shine. Making use of natural minerals, oil free and light weight hydration this is the perfect moisturiser for those with oily skin. It is a product that I have mentioned before and I am a huge fan off. The MAC skin care range is one of the most exciting areas and ideal for both men and women.

MAC eye shadow

To go with the playful season , eye shadow is a fun way to explore colours and really make your eyes pop in summer. I’m currently enjoying the She’s a Model eye shadow which is an edited palette featuring a colour wave of cool, neutral hues with a hint of deep teal . Whether it is a neutral look or a vibrant look the eye shadow selection if diverse.

MAC Matte lipstick

Who doesn’t love a good MAC matte lipstick? The most iconic and popular product at MAC is certainly a classic MAC lippie. Whether nude , bright, coral or dark. MAC has hundreds of hues to select from for all races and skin tones! I definitely am loving Strip Me Down and an all time favourite Ruby Woo. This season I am also playing around with more corals and nudes! Definitely pop in for a professional makeup artists to help pick your match.
