I’m in makeup heaven today – Wonder Woman launched at Selfridges yesterday, and my order arrived today! I am now the proud owner of Mighty Aphrodite, Amazon Princess and Pink Power ๐Ÿ™‚ I also got Ego eyeshadow from the Peacocky collection, Ivy Fluidline from Mickey Contractor, London Life and Crosswires lipsticks, Lilicent Blushcreme, Swimming pro pan eyeshadow and 3 Paints.

My only other makeup purchase this week was the Sleek primer palette.

I mostly apply my makeup either at the bathroom mirror or a mirror on the kitchen door (was there when we moved in) depending on where I can get the best light at the time. I need to be able to get right up close to the mirror as I am so short-sighted and of course have to take my glasses off to apply my makeup.

Looking forward to a week of not having to get up at 6:30am, as the kids are off school next week ๐Ÿ™‚

Alli Avatar

Yay! I got the same MAC WW goodies!!!! and I have to say that I sooooo want a Sleek palette…can’t get them here in the US – and everyone talks about them…that and Barry M goodies….and i could go on with all the fab things I want to try and can’t get my hands on…. I need a friend over there across the pond!

Haul: NARS Pure Matte in Tashkent and Bangkok (my hometown!)

When I first ordered Tashkent I thought it must be really really pale and if it wash me out I would have it as a lip concealer instead.

But Huuraaayy!! It works! It is a flattering shade of peachy nude which leans on a bit of orange on me and it suits me well! This is a good nude I've been looking for!

Bangkok is not arrived yet coz today the post offices are closed. But I'm sure it will be a cute rosy nude :]

Weekend Plans: A LOT to read for examination next week! And a project I haven't done yet.

Haul: MAC Wonder Woman Valiant quad and MAC Wonder Woman Pink Power MSF, and a 222 crease brush!

I have to say I went in for a make-up session (at the MAC counter in Selfridges, London, they had a special booth with just Wonder Woman and made it a whole thing, with models dressed in tiny blue shorts and killer red plastic boots and a gaudy gold top who stood around and took pictures of people who had just finished having their make-up done. They plastered the walls, pillars and floor with red paper and the designs on the Wonder Woman packaging and brought it special Wonder Woman chairs!) and I was amazed by the MSF. They’re such good value for money, and great if you travel! I mean, 1 slim case, 3 products: no need to lug around extra.

Weekend plans: school, and the Comedy Store! Also saw ‘Paul’ just now, and I have to say, it’s a definite ‘yes’!!! Go and see it, it will make you die of laughter. Hope you have a great weekend Christine!
