MAC Cosmetics

M.A.C. My BMF (Best Make-​up Forever)
Alles is geweldig, lipglass, blush, kwasten, glitters, concealers, nagel polish and of course my al time favorite lipstick
’ Lady Dangerous’! Maakt niet uit wat ik aan heb, hoe ik me voel of waar ik ben. Met Lady Dangerous on my lips ben ik instant glamorous! Op kantoor, slenterend door de stad of zwemmend met zonnebril en hoge knot. Glamour. Love it! M.A.C. my BMF!

MAC is the only makeup brand I use and I don’t mind paying a pretty penny for the three things I normally buy… in Canada.
But in Canada I lost an eyeliner brush and figured it was no big deal/​sacrifice of my first child to get a new one. I hit up the MAC counter in De Bijenkorf (not the one on Heiligeweg!) and plunked down € 21 for an eyeliner brush. In Canada I think it’s $ 17, which I thought was expensive, but I was pretty blown away by Amsterdam prices.
That said, I did go to two other stores in search of said brush. First I hit up Ingflot, which said they were out of stock for two weeks and had an off-​putting sales person, and then some store on Kalverstraat, which also had off-​putting staff and lower quality brushes. The person at De Bijenkorf was kind, quick, helpful, and not off-​putting. Thanks, MAC!
Update: I recently learned about Hema. I wish you could have seen my face when I saw their brush is € 2.50. Oh well. MAC still rules.

I was so happy to run across Mac Cosmetics in the center. What I love about Mac is that they have so many vibrant colors for all women. They offer a wide range of quality cosmetic products. To be honest I am more of like a Clinique girl but this is the next best thing for me when it comes to brand makeup. I was happy to find Mac in the center of Amsterdam. When I first came to Holland, I was disappointed that Clinique did not carry my complexion in foundation, so I just end up ordering a few items from Nordstrom in LA to hold me for a while. However, I did run across a few spots that sold makeup for women of color but there was no way I was putting cheap makeup on my face. I know makeup isn’t all too great for your skin in general, but Mac is a great makeup brand when you want to get dolled up and rock the covergirl look. Plus they are very environmental conscious and Mac is a brand that does not test on animals.
