Friday plans: Primping and pampering for birthday get together tomorrow at a Tapas bar with some friends…
London, UK xxx
I have never heard of Elizabeth’s Daughter — do you like the line?
I think its a British brand? Its marketed for young girls in their tweens but I don’t care, I liked the look of the products. Here’s the website if you want to take a gander – http://www.elizabethsdaughter.co.uk/
I think the line looks nice but not sure if the products are as good as I would like them to be. Going to try the facial wash and moisturiser all the same. The make up remover got in and stung my eyes which has never happened with Bi-Facil, Gatineau or MAC with me before. But it did its job well apart from that.
Ahhh! Will check it out now!
Haul for the week: Newest Mario Badescu order arrived, trying out some new products-Anti Acne Serum, Healing & Soothing Mask, Botanical Facial Gel; free samples of Azulene Calming Mask, Herbal Hydrating Serum (tried this b4 & luv it), Eye Make Up Remover Gel Non Oily (don’t like this nearly as much as Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids Lashes & Lips). Ulta Sale-2 Japonesque eyeshadow brushes (either buy 1, get 1 free or buy 1, 50% off, can’t rememember); 2 Piggy Polishes (buy 1, get 1 free). Bought a Sephora waterproof liner in Flashy Mauve in order to get the free Bare Minerals set (mini sizes of foundation, mineral veil, brush). Highly recommend the Sephora eyeliners, only $8 & I’d say very similar to my many Urban Decays. CVS-2 Loreal Hip Color Chrome Eyeliners (Violet Volt & Black Shock, buy 1 get 1 50% off). Bought these based on looking back @ some of your older reviews! Only worn the Black Shock once so far, but I think they both may be fabulous. MAC-Haute & Naughty Mascara, still testing out, but I think it’s gonna be a keeper. Mall purchases-blinged out sunglasses & a sparkly new pair of Swarovski earrings. That’s all I can remember off the top of my head, have a great weekend everyone!
Oooh, hope the MB products work out 🙂
I tried so hard to resist… but I got By Candlelight, Hang Loose, Right Image AND Show Orchid (it was the last lonely leftover, I had to take it with me so it could have a good home!) 😀
Aww! Show Orchid is lovelyy! It’s such a fun shade 🙂
haul: MAC in the groove stuff… but i got an email from MAC that stereo rose is back ordered… hope i get one but if not, such is life! 🙂
excited: to take my niece this evening to see broadway show: The Lion King (love her soooooo much)
I hope your Stereo Rose ships!
I’m really pleased with my haul this week.
I got MAC MSF’s in Petticoat, By Candlelight and Stereo Rose 🙂
I also got MAC All Styled Up lipstick, but it looks so different than on the MAC website and I think it’s going to look too pale on me. I finally got some MAC brush cleanser too, in the hope that it might encourage me to be more hygienic and clean my brushes more often.
Non-MAC goodies I got are No7 Speed Dry Nail Colour in the new Fuschia Daze colour (which looks much more coral than it does Fuschia to me_ and 2 Barry M Glossy Tube lipglosses, which smell just like bubblegum.
My plans for this weekend involve staying indoors with the fan on full blast, keeping out of the incredible heat we have outside. It’s mid afternoon here, and 44 degrees C just outside my back door
I feel ya on the AC! We always have ours thermostat set for 76 (which I swear does *not* feel like 76!), and sometimes going outside is hard, LOL!
We don’t have AC, just an electric fan so it’s not thermostat controlled. We don’t usually have these type of temperatures here in England, so the only places that have AC are places like shopping centres and some offices.
It’s 7:23pm now, and 32C/90F indoors with the fan on full blast. I’m melting! lol
Its just too humid!! Sleep was difficult, just so clammy. Gotta love the Brit summers! When they eventually arrive…
HAUL: This past week I recieved my package from ELF including ELF studio brush set (going to use it for travel this summer so I don’t have to take my more expensive brushes on the road), Mineral Mascara, Brow Kit in dark, Brow treat and tame, Gel liner in Coffee and a brush belt.
I also got goodies from MAC, from the new In The Groove Collection I purchased Petticoat MSF, In The Groove e/s trio, Jazzed l/s. From Alice+Olivia Collection I bought all 3 pigments (If It Sparkles…, Later and Partylicious). In addition to that I also bought Fix+ and Brush Cleanser.
Now I have to be a good girl till the Dare to Wear Collection comes out, that one is gonna hurt my wallet, I love brights and mattes.
EXCITED FOR: Getting yard work done this week! And my BF’s birthday next week.
FRIDAY PLANS: Take it easy, I’m nursing an injury. But I would like to get some chores done around the house to feel at least somewhat productive! Probably some reading, play with makeup, and trim my bangs.
have you had a chance to play with the ELF brushes? Let me know how you like ’em!
Hope your injury heals fast!

Very nice In the Groove haul, Vickie!
Haul: UD Naked palette, MAC Haute & Naughty mascara
Excited for: MAC In the Groove haul today!
Friday plans: trip to see my favorite MA/ best friend and then a night at a nautical mile…lots of retaurants and gorgeous views!
Happy to hear you were able to snag the Naked palette!
Chanel’s Enigma eye quad and Chintz lipstick.
Ordered both Petticoat and Stereo Rose but don’t have either of them in my hands yet.
Is MAC pretty good about shipping backorders? I’m paranoid they’re going to cancel on me!
It seems like they’re shipping some backorders, but I don’t know 🙁
I got a decent amount from ITG — including Stereo Rose, which I love. (It’s identical to the original to me.) And, in my quest for all makeup of the orange persuasion, I got Jazzed l/s as well. I also got a Petticoat MSF for my mother as a gift. Unlike me, her skin has pigment, so part of it was just to appreciate how awesome the raspberry/gold is on someone with tannable skin – and the other bit is ’cause she’s my mama. ^_~
Also bought, um, way too much perfume, too many books and way too much yarn. (My fav yarn store is closing; hadda “help out” with the moving sale, right??)
Excited for: Saturday, because I have absolutely nothing I have to do that day.
Friday plans? Working 7p – 7a @ the hospital. Meh. But after this schedule completes, I won’t be working 12s anymore. Back to 8s for me! 😛 (So I guess that’s an “excited for,” too, huh?)
I’m glad you found yours identical! It sounds like several are, and the variation of others could be said to just be veining differences!
What do you use the yarn for? Like what kind of projects and things do you make?
I knit a lot. I knit a lot of hats for charity, but right now, I’m knitting a sweater and a shawl for myself. I love knitting lace. It makes me want to scream curse words and fling it at the wall, but I love it. It’s a challenge and I really enjoy it.
Ahhh! Very fun. I wish I could sew/knit… you know, either or, I’m not picky!
Haul: MAC e/s rule and corduroy
Excited for: leaving on vacation next Thursday (hope to find internet there because I won’t survive 2 weeks without Temptalia)!
Friday plans: BBQ with the family.
I love BBQs! What’s your favorite BBQ food?
And you’re too sweet 😉
Our favorites are chicken, salmon and little sausages for the kids!
Haul: Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes pencil in a dark grey color
MAC Stereo Rose MSF
MAC lipstick in Creme d’nude
MAC cremesheen glass in Fashion Whim
Great haul, Jennifer 🙂
Yay Mellan! I preordered the brush set from Digi Pops…got those yesterday! I’m so excited to use them…but I was running late this morning lol
Ugh, I’m mad that I pre-ordered in store and can’t get mine til next week. Lame 🙁
TGIF!!!!!!
Haul: Mac alice + olivia collection
Excited for: the rest of my makeup I ordered to arrive!!
Friday plans: Getting new furniture delivered!!
Have a good weekend everyone!!!
Have you used your Alice + Olivia products yet? What are you or did you use first?
Aww Mellan!! He’s adorable 🙂
I went to Ulta and got Philosophy Cinnamon Buns body wash (smells like Thanksgiving!), Bad Gal Mascara by Benefit, a Philosophy face scrub, UDPP in Eden, and Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten! 🙂
I’m super excited for the boot camp my gym is doing next week! Since I’m an avid runner, I’m ready for something different 🙂
Mmm, Cinnamon Buns…
Hey Christine 🙂 I love you website and this week i am so excited because i ended up getting my first empty mac quad 🙂 I love the sleek new packaging <3 and i ended up picking allthatliglitters in pan form. Wow, it's so gorgeous 🙂
Thanks for all the great help you website gives 🙂
Thank you! Happy to help 🙂
🙂
also, i have been trying to remove my shadows from the new palette, but it seems like they won’t come out. The palette doesn’t have the same little lip/groove like the old palette do. Do you have any idea of how to get the eyeshadows out?
You could try tweezers!
MAC Stereo Rose, by candlelight and comfort; mac penutimate, mac shy girl l/s; nars eyeshadow base, 2 este lauder gloss sticks in nude almond <3 Chanel's fall eye quad and a foot stone/filer for the callusus! Wanted to get mac's politely pink l/s and folie e/s but they were out of both. I got them preordered though! lol
Excited for R & R!
Friday plans: rent a chick flick movie and drink a glass of wine….or 2!
Just rememebered that i got 3 Sephora by OPI nail polishes! The only one i remember is Cover me in Petals as i have that one on 😀
Ooh, fun!!
Glad you got your Stereo Rose, Erica!
The greatest thing that happened to me this week was the New Mac Collections. I really look forward to these and they brighten my mood. I was at the counter for 5 hours trying to figure what to get. I ended up spending 300 or so maybe more. But I did manage to get all the lipstick through back to mac program. I think I might get another Jazzed, if they still have it lol. I am very impressed in the quality of these mineral eyeshadows this year. If only I could take back all the ones I bought from Colour Craft last year and get all these news ones. I did manage to 5 of them so Yay.
Wow!! It sounds like you really made a very careful & precise purchase – I’m sure you will love them all!
Jazzed, Call my bluff, i like it like that – lipsticks
Stereo Rose MSF
Later and Parylicious – pigments
Sweet and punchy eyeshadow
Urban Decay Primer potion in Eden
Not much…. but alot for the fact that I am broke 😀 sooooooooo should not be buying makeup right now… but couldnt resist!!!
Later & Partylicious are soo pretty!!
I know, ordered them online though, so I haven’t gotten to play with them yet which makes me really sad 🙁
Hope you get ’em soon!!
Did a bunch of Back2Mac over the past two days. Came home with Rebel l/s as well as Go For It, the purple lipstick from In the Groove. Also took home Black Tied, Juxt, Ricepaper, Retrospeck, Trax, Crystal, and Plumage.
And I had to buy Sparklicious dazzleglass from alice+olivia.
I’ve been really lazy in the mornings and haven’t done any makeup for ages – so it was nice to get up this morning and play with some new stuff.
Gotta love B2M! I really should cash mine in soon, lol.
Haul: My Urban Decay purchase arrived yesterday!! The box was a little worse for wear but everything inside survived! I got the Naked Palette, 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Deviant, Cream Eyeshadows in Suburbia, Mushroom, & Weeds, Big Fatty Colored Mascaras in Electric Blue & Indigo, 24/7 Concealer in CIA, and 4 Vintage Brushes (Blender, Crease, Liner, & Wonder)
Excited For: THE WEEKEND!!! I’m taking Monday off and me and my sugar are going to DC to unwind. Any suggestions for what we should do?
Friday Plans: Driving up to DC after work and hopefully finding a nice spot to grab dinner in. We’re going to check http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/index.html and see if we can find cool places to chow at too. 😀 Super excited despite all the rain!!
So happy to hear everything survive intact 😀
I LOVE my Naked palette. I’m taking it with me this weekend and will prolly just wear only the colours in that despite packing my Ammo palette too. I just can’t get over ALL the awesome shades and I want to mix and match them all. Thinking about trying your Pseudo-Look: Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3 with the palette. I’m just so excited to play with this palette! 😀
YAY!!
My haul is pretty small, but I hauled from Sephora. I ordered the Urban Decay Naked palette, the Smashbox quad in Bright Eyed ($6! I had to try it), the free 10-day Bare Ecentuals trio that comes with foundation, a mineral vail, and a kabuki brush, and three samples (UD Eden primer, Korres face primer, and DKNY Be Delicious). I am so excited to get it!
Also, I’m going to Universal’s Islands of Adventure tomorrow…so pumped (though my neck is really hurting…hope it goes away by then)!
Hey, for $6… hard to pass up!
Have fun at Universal!
Ohh, just went to Universal last week for my 30th birthday. Lots of fun, loved the new Harry Potter park!
Yeah! I was there for the Grand Opening! I have an annual pass. I love Universal…and Harry Potter is something I’ve grown up with. It’s incredible!
I got Jazzed and Call my Bluff lipsticks. I found a Macy’s yesterday with Stereo Rose still in stock =O I liked the color but I cannot really put make up on my skin (irritations, I’m going to see my dermatologist).
This week-end will be bitter-sweet. There’s the funeral for my supervisor’s wife and in the afternoon my bf’s best friend is getting married.
Wow! I can’t believe you still found one in stock!
Sorry to hear about your supervisor’s wife passing 🙁
Aww…Mellan is so cute!
Haul: MAC Jazzed and All Styled Up lipsticks plus Right Image Cremesheen, MUFE Duo Mat Powder, 3 new Sephora OPI nail polishes, Ojon Hydrating set
Excited for: seeing Cyrus in theaters, and maybe more beauty shopping!
Let me know how you like the Duo Mat!
This week was great! Before In the Groove was released, I got a lipstick (Lustering), and a pigment (Naked). Then, from the collection, I got three of the MSF’s: Stereo Rose, Petticoat, and By Candlelight. Also, I got I Like It Like That and All Styled Up.
Yay! Fab haul, Katie!
Yeah, but I reserved All Styled Up and I Like It Like That based on the promo pictures and the moment you posted swatches, I was like, “Damn! They look the same!”. Oh well…! Can’t have too much pink in the stash =)
Hit Nordstroms yesterday and saw In The Groove – really pretty. I got Petticoat and Call my Bluff. They were sold out of Stereo Rose, they said they’d only gotten 3 of them. The pink iridescent color in Petticoat is a dup of BE Clear Radiance, if you paired it with a deeper matte blush (like BE Glee), you could get pretty close. Would recommend extreme caution on amount you use. I got in my car/daylight and found my cheeks looked ridiculously shiny pink. Got home and tried the Petticoat on my eyes with Satin Taupe – beautiful! Also picked up BB Denim gel liner – great basic. By Candlelight and Jazzed due to arrive from Mac in the mail today. I got the dreaded midnight backorder email notice on Stereo Rose, so will have to wait on that.
It’s so crazy how so many counters only got 3 Stereo Roses in!
After my huge haul from In The Groove and Superglass last week, I’ve been very good again this week and only got a few things. Picked up 3 Rimmer glosses (the new ones, very pretty), a loose setting powder from Boots (17) and 2 Nivea Visage Q10 night creams (bought 2 because they were £10 for 2, otherwise cost about £9.90 each! crazy!), and also got 2 new baked eyeshadows from The Body Shop and small vial of Naked pigment on eBay. That’s it.
Excited for my new kitchen going in bit by bit, I now have a useable washing machine, dishwasher, sink and cooker. Yay! 🙂
Yay for being good this week at least 😉
How long til the kitchen is done? Will you take pics at the end?!
Should be ready by the end of next week subject to little amendments, etc. I will take pictures, took some today as well, but it’s still a big mess. 🙂
Fun! Can’t wait to see 🙂
Mellan is adorable!
My haul for this week:
MAC: All Styled Up, Right Move Creamsheen, Stereo Rose, Petticoat, and Winkle
And I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY Got (well, ordered) Sugarpill’s Burning Heart palette, Sweetheart palette, and the black shadow lol Finally. I’m just trying to justify the $80 price tag =/
UD: Oil Slick and Lust 24/7
I have no weekend plans but cleaning up a bit around the house, playing with my makeup (I want to do a SuicideGirl-esque look, but I’ll wait till I get my Sugarpill stuff) and watching the bevvy of horror movies I rented :]
Oh! I added you as a friend on livejournal, Christine lol
I never use LJ any more (not my journal at least), sooo yeah 🙁 My life is pretty boring, LOL! In a good way, though!
You’ll love your Sugarpill stuff!!
This week I bought Stereo Rose MSF and Select Cover Up Concealer in nw15.. doesn’t sound like much but for someone like me who only owns 5 or 6 mac items it was exciting 🙂 lol And im excited to go to Dublin this weekend for three days shopping 😀
I am excited for you!
I recently finally purchased my very first MAC items after years on this website lol.
You can check them out here,

i bought a stereo rose as a present for my friend Sticky-Bun.
Aww! That was so sweet of you!
Haul: Plushlash, Petticoat, Hepcat, Goldmine, Orb
Excited for: my next paycheck
Friday plans: Working! It’s so hard because I work at a store that is literally right next to MAC. And Sephora is down the street. So, a lot of my funds go into both.
Great haul! Love Goldmine 🙂
Oh, man, that would be ROUGH if I worked that close to either!
Beauty Week @ Macys! I thought the Macy’s GWP and the Laura Mercier GWP was quite nice so I purchased some Laura Mercier yummy Bath & Body products. They are quite expensive so I only purchase during some sort of special offer! I snagged the Creme Brulee Honey Bath and the Almond Coconut Milk Body Wash. It doesn’t hurt that our bathtub s being redone so I need some new Bath & Body products to go along with it!
Gotta love GWPs!
I just ordered Stereo Rose and Petticoat MSF, a 15 e/s palette, and NW20 studio sculpt foundation! I can hardly wait for the MSFs to get here!
Yayy!

I ordered on tuesday rhapsody in 2 & 2 virtues. I’d been lemming them for awhile so i thought i may as well get them 😉 going back to the counter today to get a few more pretty things
Wow, can’t believe your counter still has those two blush duos!
LOL! My Mac store still carries Hello Kitty stuff along with the Style Warriors line, Magic, Mirth and Mischief and all that good stuff – so when ever I see an old, discontinued product I like, I can always check there and see if they still carry it!
Lol! I know. That same counter was also where i got the last coral crepe the week before from there 😉 i went to the mac store to get the newly released stuff though.
Haul: Urban Decay Naked Palette, Zoya Nail Polish Exchange.
Excited for: My paycheck monday! I want to buy some Barry M & Make Up Forever.

Excited for: I have some things coming from Paul & Joe!
This Weekend: I’m just going to relax.
My doggie: My pug, Captain Bosco Smushface “The Annihilator” is the cutest dog to ever be born. I love him so much. He has his own fan that he lays next to when it gets too hot. If it isn’t on, he’ll claw at it and look at me.
Capi: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blakethedog/3743975028/

Very nice haul, Kelsey! The Vegan palette is so pretty.
I picked up Stereo Rose, By Candelight, and Petticoat MSF. I have to say, I’m not that impressed with Stereo Rose. Mine doesn’t have much of the pretty bronze veining. 🙁 I’m loving Petticoat as a blush ad By Candelight as a highlight though!
I also got Jazzed lipstick, Fashion Whim and Chillin cremesheen glasses. 🙂
Aww 🙁 Sorry to hear about the veining of your Stereo Rose!

Also, got some Lush stuff!

Haha! Love it! Convert her, convert her! (Mine won’t convert, boo!)
Aww I know she’s older then i am but my obsession grew rapidly lol plus I like having Makeup in common. I give her many things that dont work out for me that are beautiful on her like NARS Orgasm it just didnt show up on me (NC 40)
Speacking of NARS im a beginner in this brand but i’ve been really impressed with Nars Sheer Glow, im Stromboli. What blushes and other products could i try to get more into it (eyeshadows,skincare lipsticks, glosses everything!) I have some dry skin.

Lovely haul, S!
I ordered a few sephora weekly specials…I love the cheap samplers rather than shelling out on products you’re not quite sure about …got tarte summer waterproof kit (the one with the scarf) for $15 and a benefit sampler of erase paste, a cream shadow and stay don’t stray for $10…also got MUFE #5 shadow….bright summer coral orange!!! Then I ordered partylicious pigment…then I swore I wasn’t gonna do it….but got up bright n early to check out In the groove…purchased by candlelight and petticoat…and after a manhunt for stereo rose I decided to buy on eBay for $39…I decided that was more than worth my time and sanity of trying to find this! So after all the madness I plan to hit up some of the smaller summer art fairs this week with my favorite lady: my mother!
I really love how they’ve been having these great weekly specials! Not that I need help being tempted.

I was pretty good this week! I did cave and order the Harujuku Lovers perfume Love in order to get the adorable free alarm clock, but other than that, I think all I bought beauty-wise was a soap dish from Crabtree & Evelyn. I even went to Sephora only to exchange my MUFE F&B foundation for a different shade and saw MAC In the Groove at Nordie’s and didn’t succumb to buying anything! (Though, the more I think about Love to Love MES the more I want it LOL…)
Oh! Also, excited for moving to SF at the end of August for grad school – like I can’t wait!! I’m temporarily living back on campus in grad housing at my alma mater for the summer since I’m working two jobs on campus, but I really forgot how much I *hated* dorm living. Ick….
And today’s just a regular Friday for me… work and more work, and then hopefully my boyfriend can pick me up to do some more move-in shopping (I don’t have shower thongs, I desperately want to bleach down the entire bathroom and kitchen… etc).

Saku and Crosby (My maine coon kitties) say HI to Mellan!
Have a great weekend everyone!
You’re a girl after my own heart, JayJay!!
Went to pick up Stereo Rose and ended up getting You’ve Got It lipglass too- it’s a color I didn’t have anywhere in my collection, and I love how it looks over High Tea l/s. The MUA talked me into Flurry of Fun lipglass from To The Beach (he had 1 left), and it was so sparkly that I was mesmerised and I bought it. I already have Thrills l/s and it looks great over that.
I was the first one at my MAC Counter when the store opened, and I got to be the first to try the testers. That was a germ-free score in and of itself!
Yay! Glad you got some stuff from In the Groove 🙂
Here is a picture of my haul from In the Groove/Alice+Olivia: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellebannana/4776018987/

The week started with my shipment from UD! I got the Naked Palette & Baked Pencil.

I bought the entire In The Groove Collection and most of the A&O Collection. It’s too much to list so I’ll just say the only stuff I didn’t get were the glosses. My next haul will be a ton of Nars stuff from Sephora.
I got braces this week at the age of 45! I look crazy but my smile will be worth it! I’m in so much pain tho 🙁 I also got veneers put on beforehand which has been such an improvement with my underbite. My whole face has changed for the better 🙂

Haha! Hope you enjoyed haulin’!
LOL! How was Despicable Me?
Haul: Well, I didn’t actually buy anything but I did receive an order on Thursday (from last week) when I went back to work from being sick so that was nice.
It was MAC Flirt & Tease shimmer blush, a Philosophy lip gloss, an Estee Lauder duo eye pencil (aqua and teal and I am in LURVE!) and an EL Signature lipstick in Portofino Coral – Christine, I think you would love this colour! Reminds me of Crosswires but slightly pinker.
I also checked out some Dior quints (Pearl Glow somehow passed me by and it’s very pretty) and EL Double Wear eye pencil – when my No-Buy restriction ends, Black Plum will be mine!
Excited for: Games night at a friends tonight (it’s already Saturday here!) – with cake!
I hope you’re feeling better now, CeeBee! ;D

It’s hard not to go crazy when MAC puts so much out!
Hm, I’d wear golds or neutrals… maybe even peach?
Haul: MAC Stereo rose, NYX (5 different eyeliners) and 1 NYX trio palette, AND 3 OPI nail polishes (buy 2 get 1 free at ULTA!)
Excited for: nothing really, just not having to work this weekend is exciting enough!lol
Fun haul, Lady Di! 🙂
Stereo Rose MSF – I haven’t really tried it yet because I’m having a bad skin day (ugh) but I really like how it looks in the pan. It’s not *quite* the one ring to my Gollum but it’s close. Preciousssss… Might go back for Later (sooo pretty wet) and maybe a 239 brush this weekend.

My mac was sold out of ALOT of the in the groove lip products, a few blushe, and stereo rose and by candlelight. i was actually surprised they still ahd petticoat. Now i’m on the hunt for the ud naked palette and some new lip stuff… i just cant decide what colors i want!

MAC Haul: Jazzed lipstick and Hang Loose blush (both of which I planned to get), and By Candlelight MSF (which I hadn’t planned to buy, but when I saw it I liked it more than I thought I would).
Friday Plans: Worked, stopped by the MAC counter, and then went out for sushi with a friend. It was a good day. 🙂
Very nice haul, Nic!
This was a major haul week for me. The highlight (well, until today) was finally receiving the Laura Mercier palette I ordered from Gilt.com a month ago. It was even better than I expected–5 mostly neutral e/s, 5 flattering lip colors, and 2 eye pencils in the same shade, Black Turquoise (that’s a bit odd, but I suppose they had to make it 2 because a full-sized pencil wouldn’t have fit into the compact). Last weekend I picked up a few nail polishes from Ulta, including a gorgeous purple called Celebutante. From a swap, I got MAC’s Mattene lipstick in ’40s Pink, Bobbi Brown Diamond Dust e/s in Snowflake, and Love & Beauty nail polish (from Forever 21) in Teal Blue. Capping off the week, today I finally caved and bought the new Chanel e/s singles, Vert Khaki and Taupe Grise, and the np in Paradoxal. Whew!
Excited for: promised break in the heat wave (even if it does mean rain).
Weekend plans: maybe a museum. Certainly playing with my new haul. 😉
Excellent haul, Anne! Enjoy it!
didn’t end up buying makeup this week. lol. Preordered some stuff from the nordstrom sale – shoes, a bracelet, and across the universe from lippmann nail polish. the sales associate helping me and i have been playing phone tag but i aim to get bad romance too. planned on going to a fashion, jewelry, and accessories trade show but i am running out of money and energy lol; might just spend time studying – summer class finals next week! otherwise sunday = 7/11 = friends and i going to various 7-elevens in the city collecting free 7.11oz slurpees lol
Congrats, Liz!!
Haul: Covergirl Lash Blast, Jergens Firming Natural Glow Daily Mositurizer
Excited for: Hiking tomorrow!
Friday plans: Party time!
How was the hike, Kat?
Haul: MAC pigment in Later., nail lacquers in Morning After and Military, and lipstick in Jazzed, and Crazy Rumors Perk lipbalm in Mocha.
Excited for: Relaxing, sleeping in, and reading next week while blasting the AC. It was over 100 degrees here on Monday!
Friday plans: Well, Friday’s technically over, but I spent my day going to MAC to grab Jazzed lipstick, which I didn’t get on Thursday and regretted, and then just watched a movie with my dad and hung out. I’m exhausted after having some dental work done and walking my dog a ton in the heat this week!
Yay for Alice + Olivia!
My haul was 2 stereo rose, fresh morrocan, easy Lounger, creamola liner, contrast and bronze shadows and my gf actually sat in MAC the entire hour I was there.
My Friday plans only include learning to blend better
I’m looking forward to my henna-ing appointment tomorrow at Lush

Sounds like an amazing haul, Keana!
Hauled a couple lipsticks, eyeshadows, and lipglosses while I was in Vancouver last week, but unfortunately missed in the groove 🙁 I was really hoping to pick up By Candlelight that I missed from Warm&Cozy, which I loved for my pale skin even then. Unfortunately, its already sold out on the Canadian website, and it says I can’t order internationally? Do you have any suggestions how I could find it? On line/by phone is pretty much my only option. By the way, I love the look you did for swatching the Lancome blush, with your upper lash line lined, it’s too bad you react badly to it, it looks gorgeous on you!
Thanks!
You could try calling the phone # for the online website, but you could also try calling local stores to see if they can ship!
Haul: MAC Petticoat MSF & Brush Cleaner
Excited For:Starting my new job on Tuesday
Friday Plans:Hanging out and maybe some drinks with friends.
Gotta love MAC Brush Cleanser!
Aww Mellan!! So sweet 🙂
Haul: MAC 15-palette pan, paint in bare canvas and blot powder. Boring every day stuff. I skipped teh Groove collection. Going to hold back on beauty spending until MAC Feline and Villians collection. Just the necessary items for now.
Exited for: The bf’s bday weekend!!!! We are having a bbq wtih friends this evening and dinner with family tomorrow 🙂 This means my internet surfing Satuday morning ends after this post and I have to clean, prep and cook for the parrrrtay 🙂
Have a good weekend 🙂
Hope you had a fantastic weekend, Cherie 😀
Haul: MAC Vegas Volt lipstick, Vibrant Grape e/s, brush cleanser
N.Y.C blushable Creme Stick in Big Apple Blush and Urban Spice.
Excited: To have started with a new program at my work and be able to serve that population. The earthquake on Wednesday was also very entertaining as it broke up a study session and being on the 6th floor of a building we felt it longer and probably a bit more intense.
Weekend plans: Not looking forward to online traffic school and paying for my speeding ticket. Plus I wish it’d heat up just a little or that the sun would shine through. It’s July in Orange County for crying out loud!
Fabulous haul, Rosie!
Congrats on getting the new program started!
Haul: Nada. I was dirt poor with $4 in my bank account until today. I did get some prizes from winning giveaways though! I got the Avon glazewear set (ended up giving 5 to Mom since she’s darker than me naturally), an eye shadow and some other miscellaneous stuff. Oh yea, I can’t forget Nfu-Oh #51 nail polish. It’s GODLY. I had the hardest time convincing myself to open it because it was so pretty. I don’t think I can bear using it because the bottle (which is so girly and amazing) would look weird with a half-full thing o’ 51. I think I may need to do some major Nfu-Oh hauling; although, I weep at the $12.50 price tag. It’s like Illamasqua’s polishes; amazing quality and colors, choke-worthy sticker price (I’m a military kid! big prices for luxury items like make-up aren’t part of living military).
Excited for: The warm weather! It supposed to t-storm tonight which means I’m going to have tranquilize Zena. I just LOVE having a dog that has brontophobia. We’ve had to upgrade to Xanax because the old tranquilizers just weren’t cutting it. My dog takes human tranquilizers. Lovely.
Saturday plans (Friday is just about done here in the Midwest. It’s 8:30 PM!): I think I may buy Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia. Hopefully, I’ll have some money left over from hunting for a new purse to buy Siberia. I’m not quite sure if it’s going to be okay for my hyper-sensitive, acne-prone combination skin, but that’s what Sephora is for! Free returns!
Yay for winning contests! Congrats 😉
LOL, that was me paying for Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes…
I’m so used to paying lower prices (the joy of e-tailers) that the Illamasqua just choked me. I had the hardest time clicking “send.” It took me three minutes to press the darn button and I NEVER have problems clicking that button. If anything, I love that button. I have no problems with purchasing Illamasqua now.
New brands = panicking about pressing “send” (the famous quote “To do or not to do, that is the question” comes to mind)
LOL! I totally understand. I put like $500 worth of Burberry products into my cart (and I’m really way too comfortable buying designer/luxury brands at this point), and I was like, “WAIT, WHAT AM I DOING?” and I managed to take out $100 worth… “IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS BLOGGING…!” and pressed submit!
Or better yet, “All in the name of fewer allergic reactions!” That’s my go to “I should feel better about purchasing $100 in products and I only got, like, four items” saying. $100 is a lot to me.
For bras, my saying is, “Happy breasts equals a Happy Katie” because I about die paying $80 w/out tax for two bras. I’m at that point in my life where I have to start paying for things with my own money and that really sucks (I still live at home, but yea, not fun considering I’m not what people call “employed.” I keep the house clean for my parents). It was so much easier when I was using my dad’s ATM card! Ah, the Holy Debit Card, how I miss thee.
Yeah, I had the same shock ‘n awe moment when I fell out of the nice, comfy nest! My parents took care of my expenses (not makeup & clothes outside of back-to-school shopping, though), and let me tell you, after I graduated, I immediately moved in with my boyfriend in my first apartment… WHEW! the expenses. I never used to look at receipts… but now I do!
I don’t even want to think about living on my own yet. My parents think I’m going to be living here as long as Zena is alive (have I mentioned she’s 6 and these breeds can live to be 16?). We’ll see. I don’t like the idea of living with my parents when I’m 31 though!
Oh, I’ve seen bills. That’s no problem for me; I got over that shock a long time ago. When I fist moved off base (I was 9 and my mom chose to move us to Wisconsin so we could be near family while my dad spent a year on the DMZ in SK), I thought the utilities would still be free, but boy was I surprised to see this thing known as a water bill…and an electricity bill. And a gas bill and other bills I can’t think of. I remember going to my mom and asking, “Mom, what are these?” because I hadn’t ever seen one before! I’ve seen cable and phone bills yes, but when you live on military bases, all of your utilities are paid except the cable and phone (no dish allowed on most bases!). My mom had to remember we didn’t (the kids) didn’t grow up in civilian housing.
The one bill I do dread having to start paying is the car insurance bill. The very best insurance means a higher bill (yep, I have USAA).
Wow! I can imagine that would be quite a shock to start getting all these bills then!
I remember when my mom was like, “So, when are you going to pay us back for the car insurance?”
I know I’m late but I had a long weekend and didn’t get to see this post until today 🙂
I hauled Stereo Rose & Jazzed lipstick. And about 20 tubes of Neutrogena Clear Pore cleanser/mask that I cleared from the shelves since they’re discontinuing it. It’s my HG cleanser in conjunction with my Clarisonic! How dare Neutrogena discontinue such good products!
Anyway, I’m always happy to see pics of Mellan. He’s so CUTE!
Wow, 20 tubes!! LOL!
