I hope pre-haul is OK! I’m on my way to Freehold Mall in NJ now and I have Nordstroms and Sephora on my check list!

Sephora to pick my perfume from the perfume deluxe sampler. Still deciding between Dior Hypnotic Poison or Pucci Miss Pucci, and Nordstrom to get Deborah Lippmann’s new Glitter In the Air polish! Ooh, I hope they have it…
Sadly, the Borders there is closing so I’ll browse there too and make use of the sales.

Then of course end the shopping with a yummy lunch at Cheesecake Factory. It’s really awful weather here too but that just means less crowds at the mall!

Good luck with your studies!

It’s half term, so I have both children at home. Once they finally drag themselves out of bed, it gets quite noisy here lol.

This week, I received in the post MAC Spite lipglass, Naked Paris lipstick, Tone:Grey quad, and the MAC Alexander McQueen ‘Electro Sky’ Paint Pot. I hear we are supposed to get the Jeanius collection here in the UK next week, so I am planning to get Pink Cult blush, Riveting Rose lipstick and Indigo Pink lipglass.

Jill, I think you will find it does. There’s a reason for “all the hype”. It really is a collection of great shadows at a great price. Some are shadows I prob. wouldn’t have bought on my own but I’m so glad I have ’em because I really love ’em. Hope it’s the same for you.

I picked up the new Josie Maran Beauty In A Box and 2 of the new Buxom Lip Sticks (in London and Sydney) from Sephora, 2 of the new NYX Matte Lip Creams from Ulta (very interesting product!) and am heading to NM with some gift cards to buy some Beauty Week stuff this evening, which will be several Rouge de Armani lippies and Armani Eyes To Kill mascara.

Rita Avatar

Haul: Two weeks ago I told that I managed to grab a Trip: Warm Eye Shadows Palette (2010). This week I got the other palette, Trip: Cool Eye Shadows. This is not for me though. I will give it to my mother, or sell it, is she’s not interested.
Today I went to a local department store to check out some lipstick, because I had a small gift card. I remembered Christine raving about Guerlain Gems Rouge G Lipstick, so I checked it out. It is a beautiful goldy rosy coral, so I took it. It is supposed to be LE, but there were at least 4 of them there, another department store didn’t have it.
Gems is the last beauty product I have used.

Nat Avatar

How lucky! I’ve been searching for Gems online since I loved the swatch here, but I hadn’t thought to check the counters. I figured they’d be out now. I’m going to have to look around town now and hopefully I’ll find one.

I’m really impressed with all the hard work you do! How beautiful and WELL-DONE your swatches, and reviews, and looks are! =)
You are the best on describing and “explaining” cosmetics, so serius and honest. And I find your reviews very useful (and reliable) always (specially when I want to buy something).
