Haute Dogs

Hey y'all!

I am so excited to share with you the new MAC fall collection! I always love the seasonal collections that come out and the fall and winter collections are always my favorites. For the last five or so years, I have picked up a similar limited edition lip gloss from the MAC fall collection. They always have a beautiful golden, sparkly, nude that I end up wearing nonstop. Thankfully this collection once again has a similar tone gloss so I had to snatch it up! I had an appointment at my local MAC counter to come in and check out the goods. Keep scrolling to see photos of the collection as well as my personal opinions and purchases. Hope you enjoy!

The collection is called Haute Dogs and was inspired by woman's best friend! They describe the colors as "buttery fur tones" for eyes and "regal berry" tones for lips.

The collection consists of four sculpting powders for a more subtle contour/highlight. It also has two Mineralize Skinfinishes in Soft and Gentle (shimmery light peach) shown on the left and Cheeky Bronze (shimmery coral bronze) shown on the right. There are two mixed fiber face brushes as well.

This is a fully mineralized collection. There are four Mineralize Lip Glosses and five Mineralize Lipsticks. These formulas are very moisturizing and long-wearing. There are four gel eyeliners, two eyebrow pencils, three eyeshadow quads, two lip liners (both are in the permanent collection), three nail polishes, and two eye brushes. 

I played around with some of the shaping powders which offered a pretty, glowy contour. I also loved the silvery gray gel eyeliner! It is so beautiful to use as an eyeshadow base. All of the lip products are beautiful and they all have really cute doggy names!! My two favorites are Labradorable (deep wine) which is perfect for fall and Rare Breed (midtone nude pink) which is a must-have shade for any skin tone. My two favorite glosses are Dressed to the K9s (deep plum) and Lap Dog (light pink nude). I didn't love the eyeshadow quads. Although the colors are stunning, I am not a fan of MAC's mineralize eyeshadows (too much fallout and not enough pigment for me). 

Both of the Mineralize Skinfinishes are gorgeous. I am really into the "strobing" makeup trend right now (although I've always loved to pile on my highlight) and both of theses shades are beautiful and shimmery without being glittery.

I had a hard time narrowing down what I wanted to buy! I was working with the sweetest artist, Ycela, who was really patient with my indecisiveness. Thank you Ycela! I ended up with the mineralize lipstick in Labradorable (I have no self control when it comes to berry lip shades in the fall) and the mineralize glass in Dressed to the K9s. Paired together, it is the perfect fall lip! Remember the signature fall nude gloss that I was talking about earlier? Well, this year it is Lap Dog. If you buy one thing, it should be this gloss!!! It is so beautiful on it's own or on top of any lipstick. If I didn't already have tons of nude pinks, I would have picked up the lipstick in Rare Breed but I couldn't justify another lipstick in that shade. I also bought the Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. This is a MAC cult favorite and I can't believe I have never owned it before! So excited!!! You can see the swatches of what I got below...

Of course I had to share my doggy BFF, Winston!!!
