Very nice!
I would highly recommend “Well dressed” by MAC, I am NC20/NW15 and I love it:)
Hi Melanie, I hope you don’t mind me chiming in. You may want to try Tweed Pink; it is similar to the discontinued Narcisse (which would probably be lovely on your fair skin). The newer Pink Explosion is a little deeper, more of a medium pink, but I am guessing you already tried that since it is in the same collection as your purchases. 🙂

I didn’t go crazy this week but I did pick up the VG Gaga lipglass. I’m very much in love with it! Later, I’m going to Chanel to pick up my first lipstick from them. I definitely want something that’s in the red or pinks category. Any suggestions on which ones I should pay special attention to??

I've also picked up 2 old jars of pigments from eBay (Vanilla and Provence, but the latter hasn't arrived yet) and Guerlain Voilettes loose powder, but that hasn't come yet either. I got a few eyeshadow samples and a full size Pixie Epoxy from Fyrinnae that arrived the other day, so looking forward to testing those out.

LOL! Without a restraint system — what normally holds you back?!
Lack of credit or debit lol
I just came back and ended up with MUFE HD foundation in 117 (Matched perfect, in MAC im a NC20) and got the HD translucent setting powder. Plus a full size Donna Karen Cashmere Mist deodorant.
I tried the Nars Sheer Glow, which I really really wanted, and my closest match was Deauville , but the two bottles they had left looked old and had that yellow separation line and I wasn’t about to spend good money on an old foundation. I’ll likely order it online at a later date now that I know my color.
LOL!!
Ew @ those old foundations!
Haul: I have been good and have not bought anything for myself (makeup wise) this week. However, next week will be a different story! 😛

Friday plans: Today is my birthday so my hubby will be taking me out to see a movie – I get to pick this time! Hopefully, we’ll get to see “You Again.”
Why my pet is the cutest? – It’s the little things our cat does which makes him the cutest. My cat has a big bushy tail and always gives him away. This morning, I couldn’t find him and was calling his name. Even though I didn’t see him, I knew where he was because the blinds by the sliding door was shaking due to his wagging tail. 🙂
Aww, that’s so cute that your cat wags his tail!
I’ve been good this week. no new hauls, and I FINALLY got the items I ordered two weeks back(UGH! Why did it TAKE so long?!)
I want to make time for some cleaning, and LOTS of boyfriend time. I’ve had an upsetting week, and wasn’t feeling well for a LONG time, so I sort of want to enjoy being comparatively perky.
Friday plans? Work. One more day, then my weekend! Woooooo!
Last thing I watched-Freakazoid. Yes. My boyfriend and I are NERDS.
Nerds unite 🙂
I didn’t haul much this week, patiently waiting on VV! I ordered Smashbox’s Kiss N Tell palette. It was only $12 on their site with free shipping and I wanted to try their shadows. I also picked up MAC’s Trouble Maker Dazzle lipstick and Treat Me Nice Superslick liner.
I want to make time for cleaning and organizing.
The rainy weather has put a damper on my Friday plans.

My boyfriend hasn’t put on a pound since we got together (4 years ago – he still wears loads of the same jeans) while I’ve gained two stone. (so ashamed to say that). Its not fair, I eat relatively healthily, I think it was cups of tea & biscuits when studying and lack of exercise! So I’ll have to be careful alright!

MAC Venomous Villians – I got both of the Mineralize Eye Shadow Duos, the Dr. Facilier Lip Gelee, the Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Cajun, the De-Vil shadow and the Vile Violet shadow. Also a 214 brush and a new bottle of brush cleaner; I went to my first MAC event and I had a blast!!!
Urban Decay BOS III – I’m so happy with this palette. I don’t have any other palettes, or very many UD products so, I didn’t have much to go on. But I love it. I got one of Sephora.com
Sephora (in store) – I’m trying out a bunch of hair products from LIVING PROOF. They’re supposed to help with humidity and frizz which I’m battling every day now that I’m in Georgia. If you ever review them, I’ll put in my 2 cents once I’ve tried them out. Also, got NARS Orgasm Illuminator, NARS Lipstick in Sexual Healing, a replacement head for my CLARISONIC brush, SEPHORA nail polish in Metro Chic (must be very popular because they only had one left and it was stuffed into the back of their stock drawer), and MARC JACOB’s Lola perfume and MICHAEL KORS signature perfume. Also, a ridiculous amount of samples and a 500-point perk gift.
Want to make time to: Finish sewing my trench coat before it starts getting cold here.

How do you like True Blood? We always want to watch, but there’s so much we haven’t seen!

How many brushes do you need until your set is complete?
About 3 more. I was gutted when MAC discontinued the 184 brush though.
I got my first NYX eyeshadows: Golden, Flamingo, Champagne and Sahara. I also got a Rimmel eyeshadow in Spicy Bronze and a blush in Winter Glow. I got a MAC Slimshine in Mousse, a Dazzleglass in Steppin’ Out, and I pre-payed for a bunch of stuff from the Venomous Villains collection. Actually, it was an early b-day present, which is very cool. I got to play w/ the Truth & Light and Cajun powders at the counter and now I’m thinking I want at least one of them very badly. They looked so pretty and felt so nice in the store.
I’m so glad they’re doing pre-orders for VV!
awwwww mellan he is so damn cute!!!
