Haul: Nothing… no makeup this week!
Excited for: A full weekend of relaxing! Father’s Day! I also can’t wait to go hiking on Sunday, and then head to the farmers’ market afterward.
Friday plans: WIFESWAP x5! So exciting! Italian food for lunch… yummy alfredo & sausage bread (OMG, sausage bread is TO-DIE-FOR). Loving the boy!

Lovely haul, Steffi 🙂
Yesterday went to Sephora cuz I found out that they received the NARS L.E. multiple tints (I had wanted to get my hands on them for months…) so I got 1 of each color. Plus, I also bought MUFE HD blush in #12 (I already own #14 and #6) and MUFE Aqua Cream in #9 (the coral one). These days, I’m in love and impressed by the newer MUFE products.
I’m also a suck for novelty products so I got me a pack (the tiger one) of the OPI Prints for nails. I’m told they are eaasy to usse, so will have to “play” this weekend!
Oooh, so glad you were able to grab ’em at Sephora! Let me know how you like them 🙂
Well, I’m on day 2 now and they are lasting. I was told that the nail stickers last 3-4 days.
In total, it took 5 minutes to apply! So, the instructions as to how easy it is to put them on is quite correct. Unfortunately, and also maybe because of my short nails, I was unsuccessful to file them as per the instructions. Instead, I used scissors to cut them to the appropriate length and it worked beautifully.
I would totally recommend them, especially for those people who have a special occasion to go to and want to have fancier-looking nails without the time and cost involved of a professional application.
I will definitely get more of the other patterns that I liked (but 1st, before I bought more, I wanted to make sure that they lived up to the marketing claims…), especially the pink fishnet design/the nautical with anchor design, and the little skulls… 😀
Nice!! 5 minutes isn’t bad at all 🙂
May have to look into ’em!
well last week i got peaches and another blush from MAC, I forgot the name, it is a matte brown, and I got soft and gentle msf, and i got grape pigment… Do u knw hot to use pigments cuz i don’t:( OMG PLS GIVE UR DOG A HUGE KISS FROM ME!!!! HE IS SO CUTE AND LOVEABLE!!!!!!!!
Peaches is a great shade, Cyndy! 😀
Try using them wet as a base!! Or in nail polish or on lips!
Haul: Mac Delft paint pot, Mac Fresh Moroccan lipstick, Mac Posey blush
Excited for: My daughters birthday party this weekend and fathers day!
Friday plans: Getting things ready for my daughters sleepover party!
Love, love, love the pic of Mellan!
Aww! Any theme or special events going on at the sleepover party?
Getting ready to haul from Bare Escentuals. Taking advantage of 20% off! 🙂
I have a two week break from school that started 2 hours ago!!!!!!! I haven’t had a break since Christmas. The feeling of freedom is amazing.
What are you going to haul?!
Buxom lips of course. Favorite gloss ever! And I’m going to try the Matte foundation.
Haul: MAC brushes 239, 249 and 226! They’re AMAZING!!!! Also bought MAC eye shadows in Satin Taupe and Soft Brown. Last haul of the week was MAC lipstick in Naked Paris. SUCH a perfect pink for daytime wear!
Excited for: Seeing my cousin and then an old friend. Playing video games. Cleaning and relaxing!
Friday plans: Going clubbing at a goth club in Newark. Haven’t really done it in ages, and can’t wait to play around with heavy eyeshadow and darker lipstick!
YAY! So glad you are loving your MAC brushes, Michou! 239 is a must have for me!
Aaw, such a cutie! 🙂
Cannot believe how good I’ve been lately about buying make up, I’ve not bought anything from shops in weeks, and only bought 4 things from eBay which is so unlike me! 🙂 I got Estee Lauder Peach Nuance blush (with a blush brush thrown in), Bobbi Brown cream shadow in Surf, Guerlain Kiss Kiss Baby Lip Balm in Cherry Summer, and Mac Style Influencer Mineralize Eyeshadow (from In The Groove!). All of them were bargains, even the Mac mes, only paid £10.25 incl. shipping and normally they’re around £12 or so. 🙂 Plus it’s not even out yet!
Excited for: going out for drinks with some of the mums from my daughter’s school tonight, then my Mum arriving tomorrow evening, and my husband and I going to see Bon Jovi on Sunday night in London!
Three weeks in a row? WOW!! Are you sure you’re REALLY Anita? 🙂
Whew!! Yay for greab eBay purchases!
Lol, it’s definitely me, but I guess whenever I went shopping lately I was looking for birthday presents (all 3 of my children are summer babies), party bag stuff, wrapping paper, etc. and didn’t even have much time to look at make up. Don’t worry though, as soon as In The Groove and Superglass is out, I will spend hundreds on them, so my haul list will be back to normal! (Although to be fair, this should be normal since I already have so much stuff, but hey, a girl’s gotta shop, right?)
Haul: I was trying to be good but overnight shipping got me. I got Viva Glam VI SE, Accentuate Shaping powder, three empty 15 pan palettes, a 6 pan palette, and Bronze, Amber Lights, Soba, Digit, Jest, Soft Brown, Mythology, and Tete-a-Tint eye shadows.
Excited for: My friend staying with me for five days. Farmer’s Market Saturday.
Friday Plans: Going away party for a coworker at the Union Terrace (staple outdoor gathering place on the lake in my city). Hopefully the weather holds, but it is supposed to be grossly humid.
Overnight shipping is hard to resist 😛
I got 2 new MAC 217s, a 231, and a 242. Oh, and a new Vex eyeshadow pan. And I’m really trying to save for In the Groove (I love the cremesheen glasses).
Any recs for other must-have MAC brushes? I got a job, so I can finally afford them!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Must really love the 217 😉
LOVE the 239!!!! OMG, must!
Haul: MAC prep+prime face protect w/ SPF50 and prep+prime eye, Shroom, Dazzlelight, Hush, Lucky Green and Expensive Pink. The store was out of quad palettes and I can’t order it online anymore so I guess this means that the new design will premier soon. 🙁
Excited for: a weekend all to myself!!! I will meet with a friend on Sunday who I have last seen in October last year. 😀
Uh oh 🙁 I want to see the new 15-pan palette myself!
Yeah, me too. If they decided to put a clear top on the 15palette then … I don’t know. I guess I’ll have to hunt down the last ones in the old design. Clear top is nice and all for the quads but it looks untidy on a 15palette. NOT EXCITED for this!
It’s nice that you can see inside without opening it, butttt they’re hard to keep clean, so you’d see all the mess, too. It shall be interesting.
I figure what I’ll do is keep the old style for either permanent or LE, and then keep the other in the old style – probably the permanent shadows in the old packaging, haha.
Maybelline Falsies mascara
L’Oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip in Carbon Black
MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating
Excited for more wakeboarding this beautiful weekend in Calgary!
Friday plans: drive 3hr after work to boyfriend’s for a housewarming party his housemates are throwing
Have fun wakeboarding, Li Ming!!

So thats all the mac i bought this week (i think lol) and im going on holiday soon so i bough a some t-shirts, a coin purse, a bag and another purse shaped like a postcard from acsessorize (SP?) think thats it 🙂
WOO!! That’s a great haul, Nicola 😉
thanks lovey, super skint now though lol that will do me till the villains collection i think 🙂 xxx
I grabbed the last Gazette Gray e/s from Pret a Papier as well as the final Scorcher nail polish. I LOVE THAT COLOUR! Finally, I picked up three of the new Revlon Colourbursts: Peach 075, Soft Nude 070 and Blush 035. I’ve been wearing them all week. I may go back for a couple more. $7.97 cdn @ Walmart CHA CHING!
Nice! Bargain finds are always good 😀
I picked up 4 of the new UD summer LE shadows (Free Love, Psychedelic Sister, Haight, and Woodstock) and a new 209 🙂
YAY! Love the new UD shades!
I do too!!! It was your swatches and one of your looks that pushed me 🙂
Aw 😀
Haul: Lots (by my standards)!
Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation in RF240, Matt Primer SPF20, Powder Foundation PF325, and Cream Blusher in Seduce (raspberry colour). This is the first foundation colour match that I’ve walked away from totally convinced by. I got two free Medium Pencils as well in Spell (tomato red) and Forced (grey). Not entirely sure what to do with Force, any ideas Christine? I’m around NC45.
Also, Diorific lipstick in 021 Orange Cancan, with Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Pearl in 436 Abricot Cloche/Apricot Cloche. I lovelovelove this combination to death, finally a perfect coral lip.
Last a sort of gift set thingy by Victoria Jackson. I’ve never heard of this brand before but they’re apparently launching in the UK this September. The set consists of three lipglosses in copper, champagne and red; a bronzer in one of those brush-tube things; and a handy little survival kit that consists of 10 eye shadows, 5 lip colours, 2 powder blushes, 3 mini-brushes, 1 mascara, 1 eye pencil, and 1 lip pencil. I was really surprised at the quality, the lip glosses are great with a minty taste and scent. The lip colours are standard palette quality, not great but ok. But, to be very honest, I only bought the set because it was sold by a terribly attractive gentleman in distractingly fitted trousers.
Excited for: A cocktail weekend with the girls!
Friday plans: Washing my hair and re-watching Pocahontas. I’m emotionally exhausted from all that shopping 😉
Lots of great products, Frances! 🙂
I’m not familiar with the Medium Pencils – are they like eyeliners? I’d think smoky eye…
The Medium Pencils are really great, actually. The website says they can be used on the eyes, lips, face. Sort of a multi-purpose pencil. I’ve been wearing Spell this evening, and it’s actually really nice. Not at all drying and as usual with Illamasqua, insanely pigmented. I’m planning to do a light blue smoky eye with the grey pencil, does that sound alright? Also loving the two Intense Lipglosses I got last week: Fume and Galactic. Christine, if you don’t have Galactic, you must get it. I’ve been wearing it all the time!
Also, that Mellan picture is the cutest thing! He looks like a serious little boy.
Gotcha! Yeah, not sure where else I’d use gray other than the eyes, lol! Well, on a regular basis 😉
I think that would be pretty – for sure. It could also look rockin’ with purple!
I think Galactic is only available on the website 🙁
not a haul just had a question. do you plan to do another book anytime soon?
I’d definitely love to, but we will see how things go!
I bought the e/s samoa silk. I really liked bamboo and looked for somehting like that but with more impact. still have to try it! besides…I moved two weeks ago! now am in one appartement with my boy and more in the city centre. I did a lot of packing and unpacking but finally all ( not really) is done. missed the beauty blogs!!now I have a small cupboard in the bed room where I store most of my make up stuff. this is great! now I have everything in one place, not like before: some at my place and most at my boyfriends place. everything there! yay!!
Aww, unpack soon! I always find that you gotta unpack QUICKLY! or else everything just sits around!
Oh, my gosh. That is such a super cute picture!…I went to my MAC counter yesterday, wanting to take a look at the bronze blush from the To The Beach collection (I heard it looks great on lighter skin), but it was sold out. I ended up getting Life’s a Breeze and Splashing instead. I didn’t think I’d be impressed by either of those, but when I saw them at the store they looked so pretty and not quite like anything I already had. Plus, I’m betting Splashing will look great layered over Life’s a Breeze.
Splashing is such a pretty shade 😀
Mellan – What an absolute cutie-pie! Don’t you wish they could stay puppies forever?!
Haul:
UD Lipstick Buzzkill
TIGI Superstar Shampoo, Leave-In Conditioner & Rockaholic Punk Out Styling Gunk
Silk Naturals Mineral Makeup – just received this, but haven’t tried it yet; you blend it yourself…so should be interesting! haha I’ve not had great luck with mineral makeup in the past (Bare Escentals/GloMinerals/Jane Iredale)so am hoping this might work for me!
Plans – manicure/pedicure, cooking, gardening
I want a mini-lab forever, LOL!
Let us know how Silk Naturals goes, Samantha! I’ll cross my fingers for you!
Oh my gosh! That picture is SOOOO cute! I love Mellan!
Haul: Quite a bit this week, went to the mall twice! MAC Eyeshadows: Amber Lights, Aquadisiac, Stars N’ Rockets, Juxt, and Seedy Pearl. Urban Decay Eyeshadows: Woodstock, Free Love, Aquarius, and Dashiki.
Excited For: Nothing much…
Friday Plans: Writing a gothic story for my online English class. Lame.
Lovely haul, Kelsey! You grabbed so many of my favorites!
Haul: Smashbox Artist Palette
Excited for: My 30th birthday party is tomorrow! WOO HOO!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BECKY!
Haul: Stila Eye Palette, Illamasqua in Move (Thanks to you!)
Excited for: Free Smashbox Eye Palette and Primer! Yay for Sephora!
Friday plans: Mom’s birthday dinner! BBQ tonight by the pool, yay!
Hope you love Move!! 😀
Haul: I got MAC 33 lashes and plumful lipstick (perfect berry shade!).
Excited for: I JUST GRADUATED MIDDLE SCHOOL! I’m so happy but I’m so sad becuz I’m going to a different school from everybody else 🙁
Friday plans: lost festival!!! I started lost a couple weeks ago and I’m on da 3rd season and it’s amazing! Can’t wait to finish all the seasons over the summer!
Plumful is so pretty!
Congrulations, Mia! I actually know EXACTLY how that feels. My junior high filtered into two schools, and about 95% of people went to one… I went to the one that 5% went to.
aw! puppies are cute! haha! here’s one of mine (http://twitpic.com/1xwbea) bali the huge beast of a dog… when he was just a pup. i loved how he used to sit with one leg sticking out! he was a rescue puppy who we got after he’d been hit by a car and left in a ditch >:/ for the first year the pins in his leg kept it pretty much straight – he hopped line a bunny and sat with one leg sticking out. he still doesn’t sit like a dog (sort of off to the side lol).
oh yeah… and i got nuthin. lol! just a few aveda shadows last saturday but that’s it. tonight is waffle sandwiches (i’m kind of frightened), bloddy marys and a true blood marathon! 😛
KAYOOT!!!!
Mellan has a sloppy sit, too. Sloppiest sit ever, I swear! 🙂 He also bunny hops here and there.
How are you liking the Aveda shadows? Though you may have told me this already on the Aveda shadow post earlier…
woo hoo! i did comment on that post – and i just read your reply now 😛 control force is like hair spray on steroids! i’m loving it!
the shadows are good – they’re not ultra pigmented but i’ve always loved aveda and i’m ferociously brand loyal! unfortunately they discontinued some of their best products over the last year (but my understanding is to reformulate them and make them paraben free so i gotta give them credit for that). i’m glad you liked the trio that you tried!
What kind of hair style-thingy should I do with it? Would using a curling iron to do some loose curls be something I could use it well with? LOL!
hehe i don’t know! you could find out by trying! lol! i think that – especially on long hair – it would only be good for an ultra-hold setting spray (updos, etc.) BUT it does have some give to it – i put it in my hair (which is short) DRY! without anything else in it… and then kind of scrunched my hair around and it worked almost like a wax… it wasn’t too crunchy at all. but if i style my hair and want it to hold – i use this and it turns my hair into some kind of helmet (in a good way lol)! no amount of wind seems to make it budge!
Hmm, maybe I will give it to the boy. Who bought a hair styling product without my permission. Like I don’t have plenty of them here that I don’t use!
I went to Sephora today picked up Ole Henriksen “New beginning scrub”, a Daily m/u brush cleanser “doing m/u for a bridesmaids tmrw”, and lastly I purchased a new eye brow comb. I promised myself that i will not buy makeup until I overcome this adult acne that I just started getting. I find myself spending a lot of money on makeup trying to cover up my acne, rather than a good skin care regime. So thats my goal. And I have to recommend Ole Henriksen. Love it so far. POINT BONUS: got the smashbox brow Tech and Cream Liner Palette.
Good luck figuring out your skin, Tiffy! 🙁 Adult acne is sooo frustrating — still suffering from acne myself!
Too cute!!
Thanks 😀
MAC Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow (thanks to Christine’s bad influence from Wednesday’s look) and Revlon Minted nail polish.
Me! Bad influence?! NEVER!
Hope you love it as much as I do 😛
Gorgeous Gold is one of my favorites EVER!!! You’ll love it!!
You must email me the recipe for that bread. I am from Louisiana and we have Crawfish bread, bet they are similar. Have a great weekend
I wish I had it! We go to a little Italian restaurant nearby for it! 🙂
Haul: No cosmetics but I did buy a sea salt spray from KMS, and a new dry shampoo. I’ve never tried dry shampoo but my stylist recommended Tigi Rockaholic Dirty Secret, so I’m going to test it out!
Excited for: Being a bum for a while! Today is my last day of work and because it’s a traditional public school, I’m off all summer :]
Friday plans: I think the bf is taking me to see the A-Team tonight, so I’m pretty excited!
What’s the sea salt spray for?
I think they also call it texturizing spray, it’s to make those beachy waves in your hair and they look piecey.. like a day at the beach sans beach, you know?
Gotcha!
Tresseme has a dry shampoo that Ive been trying out the past couple weeks that will probably be less of a hit to your pocket, and smells amazing! Its works wonders for when you have the oilies from a long day and you want to go out, just spray it on the parts you want to look clean again, for me thats normally right in the front where I comb my fingers through my hair all day. Give it two minutes to sit (it turns white, and its pretty hilarious if you have friends over and they dont know what your doing!) and then you brush it out til the white gone.
I was very bad this week! For months I have been reading your blog and haven’t really been buying much stuff apart form nail polishes since I am trying to stop biting my nails but today I went to a Pro store and had my makeup done and bought so much stuff! Needless to say I am not buying ANYTHING for a looong time.
Started a pro pallete and bought Naked Lunch, Twinks, Woodwinked, Mulch, Quarry, Shroom. Brush 217. Brush 252. Face and Body Makeup in C1. Blush in peaches. Mineralize skin finish natural in medium light. Brushes 182, 129, 190. Lustre drops in Pink Rebel. Lipstick in Hug Me. Eye kohl in Rosemary & Thyme.
And this all from someone prior to this only had one thing from Mac and this being the lipstick in Syrup.
Forgot to add I got the pigment in Naked!
Aww! So happy you got to the PRO store 🙂 I hope you had a TON of fun, while you were haulin’!
Mellan’s pic is ADORABLE!
As for haulin haha
I got:
NARS Mekong e/s and Orgasm blush
Benefit Dear John & Stay don’t stray (I puumped it into an airtight container)
MAC Lazy Day lipstick, Select Coverup, Fix+
And Estee Lauder Peach Nuance blush
And I scored a Marine Life! YAY
I’m gonna be out in the sun all weekend, but this last week was bad :[
I got back from California on the 8th and just got around to reorganizing my makeup (I went to see my fiance’ and took enough makeup to do the women in his family cause they were all psyched) and I realized my WHOLE palette of LE neutrals was gone and probably 99.9% of my lipglasses were gone. I packed them when I left, I’m pretty sure someone at the TSA helped themselves. I added it all up and it came out to be $670.00 worth of stuff I’m missing. What’s bad is that I don’t remember the name of everything I had, so I don’t know what I need to try and find again. I have a small list, and I’m fortunate to have awesome blog friends who have sold me some of what I got taken from me, but I’ll never get it all back and that’s really sad.
OH NO! I’m so sad to hear about your makeup going missing… that is really just SO terrible! Ugh!
Ugh! I am so mad!
I went into shock when I found out. I checked my makeup on the way back because it was so heavy and it was way too hot to try and mess with it. I figured it would be safe, but I guess not.
I did manage to pick up Prrr and Nymphette which were the only perm line lipglasses I had in there. But my blog buddies have really come through for me in a big way. I’ll never have the money to replace everything, especially my eyeshadows. But It’s a lession learned lol Never check makeup on a plane!
🙁
I avoid checking my bags, period, at all costs. I really can’t believe they just took so much stuff, though 🙁
I’m going to from now on lol But, I was gone for a month and I needed to check my stuff because of the sheer amount I had to take. I carried it ON the plane when I left WA, but ut was just too much lol I figured it would be safe though.
They left the more expensive stuff, which I’m fortunate about.
I called the lost and found in Oakland, which is what the TSA rep said, and she was condecending with me, “It is just makeup, it doesn’t usually get brought here. It’s not an essential.” Just makeup? lol yeah, okay. But when that “just makeup” is my side job, it gets pricey!
I haven’t had to travel long/far enough to check anything, but I think I would definitely ship my stuff in the future 🙁
How rude of her to say “just makeup,” it doesn’t matter — it was your stuff and it was stolen.
Oh hell NO .There are some things we dont play about, my God , my family, my money , and my makeup. Thats just mean and trifling
I almost got nothing, like last week, but then today I found some Dior polishes on sale (-50%), and bought one in Sweet Almond (211). It’s quite nude with fine multicolored shimmer. I don’t know if it’s a good color on me, I have to see it in daylight tomorrow. It’s my first Dior polish, the formula was great as expected.
Ohh, Dior polishes on sale! Very nice! Where’d you find ’em?
Kicks. I think it’s a Swedish cosmetic store chain.
Melan…always the cutie!
True 😀
No hauls for me either-but I’m still playing with my last haul, so it works out.
Excited for my weekend, and my approaching birthday.
Friday plans-working grave shift. yay?
How are you liking everything from last week? New favorites?
OMG Christine! That is such an adorable picture of Mellan! Such a cutie boy!
Haul: Ordered some Bare Escentuals products on BE.com and taking advantage of their 20% discount. I bought 3 eyeshadows in Mystic, Myth and Cherish ( a very pretty pink color – it’s a charity color under BE Cares program and proceeds go to the Autism Research Institute), Jade Body Minerals and an eye lash comb. Might come there tonight or tomorrow to pick up some new glosses.
Excited for: Father’s Day! Treating dad out for a fabulous brunch at a restaurant he’s never been to before (at his request! LOL)
Friday Plans: Laundry!
Have a great weekend!
Yay!! Glad you were able to take advantage of their F&F sale, Lynn!
that picture is so adorable!! and i didnt haul anything beauty related this week. i’m on a no buy since i bought a tria from nordstrom trendshow
How long is your no-buy for?
Not really a haul but I did order the UD Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows off Ebay a while ago and finally received it this week. I really like it so far minus one shade because it ends up covering my whole cheeks in glitter… I also got an 88 neutral palette I ordered off Ebay for $2.99 and it seems pretty decent for that price. I got a bright Barbie pink lipstick from Revlon as well.
This weekend won’t be very exciting considering I work both Saturday and Sunday but I hope I’ll get to enjoy the nice weather a bit.
Which shade is the glitterbomb for you? I hate Midnight Cowboy Rides Again myself, lol!
Midnight Tea Party (I think it’s the same? Too lazy to go check XD)
LOL! Sounds like it 😉
haul : i will buy some mascara tonight , other than that a body scrubbie on sale at bath and body works
excited for: to see some friends from high school tonight
friday plans : see above, we are going to a tapas place tonight for cocktails and dinner
What mascara are you gonna get, Jazz?
the new maybelline one , its in a purple tube .
Yay!
Haul: I picked up a BB Rose Shimmer Brick, Estee Lauder Hydra Lustre lipstick in Dune Rose and I ordered a Philiosophy Pink Bubbly set for my best friend.
Excited for: Heading to the MAC counter in Auckland in a couple of days! And then I have a 3 day conference, get home for one day before I have to leave for another conference – I’ll be too busy to buy much!
Weekend plans: Make a big pot of chicken soup to have with toasted ciabatta and cosy up with my fiance to watch the World Cup highlights.
Dune Rose… what a pretty name!
Hope you find enough time to sneak in some shopping time 😀
Heh, me too! I’ll try and make up for it by buying half the MAC counter first! My boss let me have the morning off to “run errands” in Auckland before I have to set up for the conference (and yes, he knows perfectly well, what that means!)
Dune Rose is really pretty, a perfect mauve pink nude MLBB – very ladylike!
LOL! Just half? Geez 😉
Haha, your boss sounds FAB!
Haul Select cover concealer and soft and gentle msf
Excited for fathers day. I can’t wait to give my dad the sony pocket ereader I got for him : )
Friday plans- watching my friends two doggies : )
Aww! That sounds like a great father’s day gift, Vickie!
Just found out I have a CCO not too far from me!! Yay!! I got some eye shadows from the Neo Sci Fi collection and the Style Warriors collection, got some of the discontinued mineralized eye shadows, some lip glasses, bronze hero lustre drops, brushes. Oh my! I had to stop when I ran out of money, but I got a lot of stuff that I was missing from my Mac LE collections so I went home a happy gal. I’m looking forward to playing with my new makeup. 🙂 I’m happy also that this weekend is Father’s Day. Cooking my hubby a nice meal and watching World Cup! Yay! 🙂
Nice! Neo Sci Fi was such a GREAT collection 😀
It really is. I had already some lipsticks from them but I only had one eye shadow (expensive pink) and I got to get the rest of them at the CCO. They really are gorgeous. I love the Style Warriors collection too. My skin is kinda yellowy so the purples in the Style Warriors suite me well. I love the Purple Rite lipstick. It’s so beautiful. 🙂
I tend to love MAC’s summer collections… must be all the bronzy shades and all that. 😉
Me too! 🙂 In general they tend to be my favorite also, although I did love the Style Black and Give me Liberty collections too. Give me Liberty of London had the best packaging!!
Can’t believe Mellan use to be such a little pup! 🙂
Today I bought Plushlash and Studio Fix Powder!
I am also definitely considering buying shimmermoss while its in the to the beach packaging and I have my eye on tan pigment, I just don’t wanna purchase it because I have too many neutrals I am already trying to finish.
Today the weirdest thing happen, I was in the HUGE macys in Manhattan and I can’t believe I never noticed there are two MAC Cosmetics inside! Theres one on the first floor, the associates are so rude there, and then I magically find one on the fourth floor where they were all so nice! They didn’t have studio fix in my color so the SA went all the way downstairs to the other counter and brought one up for me! How nice! 😀
I know, right? How fast they grow!!
It’ll take you ten billion years to get through a pigment jar, LOL! You can be buried with it 😛
How funny that they were rude on the first floor… nice on the fourth floor!
I know! And there were a ton of artists upstairs! I saw 5-6 and the upstairs counter was even bigger then the one downstairs, so much cleaner too! It’ll probably be my new go-to MAC counter.
No makeup haul but I just got Marc by Marc Jacobs glasses for only shipping & handling. And trust me, they’re real! It was a Vancouver promo! I’m excited!!
NICE!
Nothing!!!
Nice job 😛
Bought today: Mac eye shadows in Sweet & Punchy and Firecracker and a 188 brush

I’m ready to celebrate Father’s day with my family; especially my husband since it’s his first as a dad.
I also want to take a minute to say thank you. I just recently found your site and I love it! So helpful!!!
Lovely haul, Marisa!
Thank you 😀 So happy you enjoy the site!
Haul:
– MAC Syrup lustre lipstick (my first mac lipstick 😡 I really like it)
– Sephora Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in 08 Brown (LOOVVEE this! I smoke it out with the sponge tip on the other side for a soft look). This has red shimmers that make it wonderful~
I rediscovered my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer (the doubled sided one with the concealer and highlighter on either end). My skin absorbs it better now that the weather’s warmer, so it doesn’t get cakey!
Aww! Happy first MAC lipstick 😀
Got some (more) summer colours from MAC:
MAC Girl About Town Lipstick
MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick
MAC Aquadisiac Eyeshadow
Aww! Mellan is so adorable!
I’m excited for the Giorgio Armani Cosmetics Eyes to Kill Event at Holt Renfrew in Vancouver this weekend! Now if my mom would only give me my paycheck for the last two weeks which is a week overdue!
Fun, fun! Hope you get your paycheck!
