In one of the Sample Corner posts awhile back I first introduced an online shop called The Body Needs. This is a place where you can get samples of any and every MAC product (given the availability at the time). They are supposed to be genuine MAC products which they buy full size and then break them down to smaller sizes and sell them. I have reviewed the Brush Cleanser and the Cleanse Off Oil samples from them and felt that they were original. Anyways if for any reason they are not then at least you get some base line idea and then the original will be better than that. That’s my logic.
Today I’m not going to describe the product to you at all except mentioning the colors – Full Fuchsia, Candy Yum-Yum, Lickable, Girl About Town, Crosswires, Russian Red and Mehr. Since these have not been bought from MAC by me I felt that it was not fair to comment about them in any manner. This post is a meant to be a treat for your eyes 🙂 Nothing more….nothing less. I bought a couple of talked about shades from MAC. Over time I have heard so many times and so often about them that I was sorely tempted to buy but with me as you may know by now – hand swatch differs a lot from the lip one. And I end up with a shade that does not suit me as much.
There is not a lot of quantity in each sample but I think it should last you 5-6 uses at least. They cost about $3.79 which in today’s currency rate is quite high. I had bought these sometimes in Jan-Feb and at that time the Rupee was much stronger. Ugh now I have depressed everyone including me 😛 Ok zipping up and leaving you to enjoy the pics…

So which ones are your favorite from these? I really likes Crosswires (looks much better than the pic and is a beautiful coral shade) and Full Fuchsia the best out of the lot and something that I will pick up from MAC. Not going to pick Candy Yum-Yum or Mehr as I didn’t like them at all. On the fence about the other colors.
