I hauled yesterday at Nordstrom:
MAC Smokey Eyes
MAC Warm Eyes
MAC Metallic Eyes
MAC Keepsake
Chanel Rouge Double IntensitÉ Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Rose Pearl
Prada Infusion D’Iris Parfum
I didn’t really care for the MAC Cool Eyes, because it didn’t seem terribly unique, and because I don’t love pink on my eyes.
I wanted to buy all of the extra Infusion D’Iris stuff (bath gel, lotion, candle) but I thought paying the mortgage would be a good idea. 🙂
Nice haul, Jen!! How do you like Keepsake? I passed because I have or have had all of the products in it. Glamoursun is one of my fave lipglasses.
Cool eyes is super pretty, but yes, if you’re not a fan of pink shadow, so passable.
Hm, mortgage, could be a good idea 😉
Glamoursun is the reason I bought it – I didn’t have it from before. I also have been toying with buying Sunbasque, anyway, and the pigment is pretty. So, all in all, not a bad kit. I am lukewarm about the glitter pencils, and I really don’t care for the bag at all – but I’ll give that to my daughter.
Awesome 😀 Sunbasque is a good blush, too!
On last friday my mother bought me the following MAC stuff: Violet Pigment,Gently off eye and lip makeup remover andliquidlast liner in fuchsia-ism. :-DDD
i also asked for the water based mixing medium,but unfortunately the nearest MAC pro store is in Paris :-DDD so I will make my own,1part glicerin,3 parts water. Thanks for the insider info Christine :-DDD
oh ,and i love love love all of them. this remover is the only i know to remove the liquidlast liner 😀
pigments are always gorgeous,nothing more to say.
i also flirted with the matte collection,they are really gorgeous.
Awesome! It’s great when everything works out for you. I was not a huge fan of Matte2 personally, but I know some loved it!
Ohh, really nice haul, Zsofi! I hope the homemade version works out for you 🙂
Does anyone know where to buy Glycerin? I really want to make my own mixing medium but when I go to the store and ask for Glycerin, noone knows what / where it is. Also, how much is it?? Thank you!!!
I have found it in my local drugstore near the first aid supplies. It’s only a few dollars!
I just put in a big order at Sephora.com for the FF sale, but since it hasn’t arrived yet it’s technically not a haul! So my last haul was at the MAC CCO and I bought:
-Porcelain Pink MSF
-Pandamonium eyeshadow quad
-Corps de Coleur eyeshadow quad
-Sweetie Cakes eyeshadow quad
-Gently Off make-up remover
I loved absolutely everything!!
Ohh, you’ll have to tell me what your FF haul was when it arrives! I’m waiting on mine, too 🙁
Nice haul at the CCO! Who doesn’t love a CCO haul?
This is silly, but what does CCO mean?? Thanks 🙂
Cosmetic Company Outlet – it’s an outlet store found at outlet malls and it carries several Estee Lauder brands, including MAC, at a slight discount (they have random products, not a full range).
I had a major haul at the MAC store last weekend. The nearest MAC is two hours away, so I usually buy a lot at once. Here’s what I got:
Smokey eyes palette
Coral lips palette
Silversmith MES
Belightful Iridescent Pressed powder
Mascara X in black
Eye brush set
129 long handle brush
Corduroy shadow
Expensive pink shadow
Orb shadow (love!)
Woodwinked shadow (rumors it is DC, so got it while I could)
I wanted Bare Study paint pot, but I totally forgot…so I will get it with my next haul, probably when Stylistics comes out.
They had the lip bags out and now I also totally want the Pink set…I think my husband is getting a little annoyed though! 🙂
the pink set is gorgeous!
Ohh, but Finery is gorgeous! I love all of the lip sets, though the Tan lip one is my least favorite.
Very nice haul 😀 Be sure to let us know how it all works out!

i love everything im so happy this was my weekend in london haul
I’m happy you loved everything, Zoe! Nothing beats that 🙂 Are you a NARS Lip Lacquer fan? Tell me more about those!
I really love lip lacquers because like most nars products they are so buildable. I find them really versatile i can either use them lightly with a lipstick and lip liner or by themselves because they are really easy to top up during th day. So far My favorite lip lacquer is chelsea girls , i have finally found the perfect lip product to go wwith smokey eyes, its gorgeous. However my favorite item from this haul is crazed it is so amazing. But i love my sculpting/shaping powders and the rest to bits too. But im hauling again on thursday smller this time thought or at least i hope it will be
Thanks for the review, doll! I’ll definitely check them out soon 😀
Hmmm…lets see…
Pharaoh and Otherworldly paint pots
Feline and Jealous eye kohl power pencil
Engaging mineralized duo
Burnin’ lipstick
15 slot eye pan
Your Ladyship and Sweet Sienna pigments
The only things I may not love, oddly enough, is the kohl pencils. Love the colors, but they may be a tad too smudgy for me. But they’re so pretty I don’t care!
It’s too bad you aren’t feeling the kohl powers, I adore them! Especially Feline!
I hope you enjoy the pigments 🙂

Hi Adina!
warm and cool pigment set: this sounds very interesting. how many pigments are exactly in those sets ? 😀
Wow, Adina! I am jealous! Tell me how Guerlain’s Forever Gold Radiant Powder & Meteorites are? Also the Givenchy Diamond Dust! These are some lemmings, so I’d love to hear what you think!
Christine,
How do I love the guerlain products, let me count the ways. In all seriousness the radiant powder is amazing. The packaging is jaw dropping gorgeous and the product itself deposits a beautiful glittery shimmer wherever you put it. And the smell is so nice, it is a soft musky scent that justified me purchasing it because of its versatility as a cosmetic product and as a fragrance product. The gold meteorites deposit an awesome beige/gold/peach which looks divine with a dramatic lip and soft gold toned eye.
The diamond dust is awesome too, so different than the gold tones of guerlain. The diamond dust gives off a beautiful silver glimmer wherever you put it. It makes a great shimmery highlight!
Zsofi- the pigment sets include 4 mini pigments and one mini reflects glitter. They look promising!
hmmm…. Mini pigments…. if only they would sell it in Hungary! maybe i try to get them in Vienna.
Paris is too far for me right now 😀
the old pigment sizes seem to be way too big for me. it is an investment for the 3-4 generations coming 😀 how lucky they are:grandma (me) purchased it for them,way back in 2007 😀
You are definitely tempting me, Adina! Thank you for your review!
