First, I’ll share mine!
Haul: MAC Fabulous Felines, as you saw yesterday!
Excited for: I wish I could be excited for the weekend, but I have school on both days.
Friday plans: Read through a book that I should have read two weeks ago for class!
This week’s Mellan photo…
GET THIS TIE OFF OF ME! (I think this was actually just mid-yawn.)
I got the Naked palette this week!!! So exciting!!! I'm excited because I'm on vacation for the next two weeks :)
Where are you going for vacation?
I brought the mini OPI for Sephora collection "Rocker Chic", I brough OPI's ate berries in the canaries, and finally three MAC shadows in swiss chocolate, memorabilia, and prussian.
Sounds pretty :D
Of course I can't let a Lancome giveaway at Macy's go by! Believe it or not, I have never bought lip gloss--have many, many lipsticks, but no gloss. I have so many lipsticks my daughter says I need an intervention. The sales lady showed me La Laque fever in Plum Wave--beautiful and couldn't resist.
Hahaha! ;D Love it!
Benefit poreFessional primer, benefit hello flawless face powder, benefit boing concealor, mac expensive pink eyeshadow! Not super exciting, but these items make my skin look great!
Nice Benefit haul!
Haul: I preorderd two eye shadow quads by the MAC Fabulous Felines collection. Excited for: A relaxing weekend and a litte shopping tour Friday plans: First working, then driving home

PWP Elizabeth Arden Red Door Beauty Box (2 awesome palettes in cute Red Door compact with (finally) a decent size mirror) MAC Liquid Lurex (couldn't wait) Christian Audigier Laurel satchel (silver, but it has an amazing rosy interference near warm colors!) Excited for: most of Fabulous Felines liners (I swatched 4 of them and ran a wet finger over them 2 hours later and they still did not BUDGE!) and the Burmese Beauty lustre shadow!! Friday plans: Shop(ped) Sephora, then Dillard’s end of season sale (better bags clearance!!), nommed burgers@Steak&Shake, collapsed in Pour Monsieur-scented pillows and power-napped. Hi, I am Mimi, new here and new to beauty blogging. Your blog is wonderful, TY for the Fabulous Felines promo pix you generously shared, this collex will be the first full one I attempt to review! I am starting journal-style on my FB, with my niche emphasis on skin care, bolder color, and general style for women 30+ I would love to see more tutorials (the video+page info format is perfect) and more of your good advice for new bloggers! (blablabla, but I did not want to just jump in cold with a comment, I always feel rude if I do! :P )

Haul: I swore to keep it a secret! GASP! But I also bought a new gas range for the kitchen! Excited for: Sleeping in late :) Friday plans: Friday is almost over... But I did some work on the kitchen, played with the dogs. Went to the mall and checked out the rest of FF for next week. Jay started playing with the liners and said, "Can you buy these now?!" Haha! He likes them :) I should post a photo of what he does when I drag him to MAC. I have one somewhere (he paints his hand like a face and talks to it). LOL!
Did you guys do theme dinner night?!?! YES, post!
Haul: NARS Bridal palette, which I recieved from the NARS website today. Thanks to Temptalia's promo code I got a super cute lip gloss duo with it! My local Lush counter has Bring Your Own Bag Fidays. You get a free goodie if you spend $25 and bring your own reuseable bag. I bought 2 body butters and got a Ring of Roses buttercream soap for free! So excited about my purcahses. Excited for: Picking up my fiancee at the airport ina couple hours.

Haul: Christian Dior Addict High Shine lipstick in Rose Couture, LOVE! I've been really craving the Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites since you reviewed them but the $ is holding me back. Do you think they're ok for oily skin too?

Yes, I think they are - but maybe see if you can try it on your skin sometime? Or somewhere with a good return policy!

Rosebud Salve! Total basic but awesome product.
You have school on saturday AND sunday! Wow x.x I bought some MAC items online through Brigitte's Boutique, they will probably take a few weeks to get here but I'm excited already! I also bought MAC's Studio Fix, I bought that at the store because even though MAC cosmetics are expensive here (twice what they cost in the US, Studio Fix was 50usd T-T) it was my first time buying it and I had to be sure of the colour ;) Now it's time to finish a paper for next week x-x
Also, Mellan is so cute! He's big too! I want to show you my puppy :) his name is Pequeño (which means "small" or "little one" or something like that) We (my family and I) adopted him last year when someone abandoned him here in my house. We're so happy with him :)
Aww, would love to see him!!

SO CUTE!
Thanks :)!
Just for a few days... well, I have 2 Saturday classes that start-up in September, but this is a super intensive course over 4 days but for 3 units!
Oh I see, that's a lot but I'm guessing because it's intensive you will be able to finish it faster, right? I have taken intensive courses before too and I've taken like a 6 months course in only 1, which is good because you finish it fast, but it's also very tiring!
It's the same amount of hours as a normal class (about 3 hours a week) overall, but instead of taking it over 10-15 weeks, it's 4-6 hours per day... but at least it's done and over with :)
Haul: Estee Lauder concealer and brow pencil, Chanel polishes in Paradoxal and Particuliere Excited for: Chanel Allure Extrait de Gloss, the MAC Feline range you just reviewed (some of those liquid liners are StUnNiNg!), those Chanel Khaki polishes Friday Plans: supper with the family, cleaning the bathrooms, watching a DVD
What DVD are you gonna watch?
Brooklyn's Finest :-)
No Haul in like weeks :( Excited for: Fabulous Felines next week! First collection I've looked forward to in a while Friday Plans: Gym and then a friends birthday dinner
What are you most looking forward to from FF?
The Leopard Luxe quad, I love warm browns and oranges (tho' I already have Notoriety from the last release). I also want Bloodline pigment and Aristo-cat lippie.
Haul: catrice yellow nail polish for 2.79E! took four coats but it stayed on well! isa dora icy khaki eyeshadow cause i forgot all my eyeshadows on holiday and you can dress it up or down. Excited for: sleeping after an amazing holiday drove all over south of ireland, the scenery was amazing! Friday plans; none in particular, catching up with the family!
Hey, if it's cheap, four coats isn't so bad :P
Yeah and i would never spend a lot on yellow polish. Oh i also got an eyeshadow in a cranberry colour by catrice which was less than 3e! such amazing pigmentation for the price! it looks lovely with UD baked! Good luck with your classes, weekend school sounds awful!
