They work about equally on me, but NYX is creamier!
Haul: Urban Decay primer potion tubes in original and eden. MAC Prep+Prime Vibrancy Eye (love it).

Hey, I’m assuming you ordered from MAC online bc of the pins…is there some kind of free shipping code where you receive a free mini mascara? I keep hearing there is one, but can’t seem to find it!! Can you or anyone help?!?!?!

Haha! That’s so funny 🙂 Even my mom checks the blog every Friday for the Mellan photo!
Your dog is too cutie! = )
Getting caught up on Chanel products! I bought the Chanel Ombres de Perlees (5 shadow Quad) and the Peche Nacree nail polish from Spring 2010 collection, Vitalumiere Aqua in B50 for my NC35ish skin, and Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Genie.

Weekend plans: Hanging out with the fam and cleaning my house for a visit from my mother.
Product you keep reaching for this week: MAC Prance Eyeshadow
I’m all for having pets but the pictures where you force your dog to wear some ridiculous thing on his head is a little weird. If your animals don’t like something you put on them you shouldn’t force them to keep it on just because you think it’s cute.
I think he can take looking a little silly for a couple of minutes to take a photo or two 🙂 Plus, he sure is rather happy when he gets rewarded for it!

Weekend plans: relax&party!

Oh, and I ordered another Prepped for Glamour eyeshadow from the MAC website – I love that so much that I don’t want to run out so I figured I’d get another one while I still could!
Weekend plan: my former neighbour and very dear friend is going to be back in town this weekend so we’ll be going out and catching up. And DH is taking me out for dinner tonight.

Product: MAC penultimate black eyeliner
Mellan is sooooooooooooooooooo cute!
Haul: I bought 3 crackle polishes from Bary M Costemics (its a company frmo the UK). I ordered the black one, white, and pink, which havent arrived in the mail yet. I chose these over OPI Shatter and China Glaze Crackle because the Barry M one shatters better – the fragments are larger and the gaps are bigger. I bought mine from ebay cuz one seller shipped for free. Barry M does have their own website if you guys wanna check it out, they have eyeshadow pigments and lots of fun lipstick colors they are deinifely worth checking out and they do thip to the USA also. And you can pay using paypal.
Also, another haul: MAC came to work and started selling their items, so i couldn’t resist! Bought the 109 foundation brush, the penultimate eyeliner, and Insanely It! lipstick. I don’t like using my sephora stippling brush for foundaton anymore, and i have a travel sized flat foundation brush, and wanted a bigger one, so thats why I got the MAC 109.
Plans: Well Sunday our apartment complex is having a pool party/cookout so im gonna go to that, and there is a Dog festival downtown later that day too, want to take our dog out to interact with other dogs hehee. Maybe shop, and go to the gym this weekend also.
Product i kept reaching for this week: MAC’s Cutie Palette, playtime lipstick and Make up Forever’s face and body foundation (my second bottle yay)
oops! I meant the MAC 190 brush. I really wanted the Makeup Forever foundation brush snice it has good reviews, but since MAC was selling their products in the Gift Shop at work, i just got it while I was there. And the fact that you can swipe your work badge to pay for it (it comes out your next check) instead of using your debit made it so much easier to spend!! They really sold alot of stuff. That Quite Cute Collection was sold all the way out too.
Haul: Nothing! I’m on a Project Pan and I’ve already finished 2/13 products.
Weekend plans: Study for my sociology exam and fit in a run or two. I’m obsessed with running now that it’s warmish outside.

I saw at sephora smaller bottles of LM tm for 19.50 for one ounce and normally 1.5 ounces for 42. So if you just got two of those that’s more for less!

Product I’m Reaching For: I’m really liking the NARS in Sex Appeal. I haven’t switched it up very much with my blush, I’m way into eye palettes, but have relied on Orgasm as my mainstay blush color for ages, which is why I’m spending more time on the issue now. Next up on my list of products to try are some of the Illamasqua colors (as well as nail lacquers, but I’ve been on a spending spree as I’ve recently turned 24, so I’m trying to clamp it down a little.)
I’ve read through the makeup recommendations for lip colors that you made, and have some of the UD colors (Naked, Peroxide, Lovechild) on my wishlist for the future. I feel like I keep buying the same few types of colors (I gravitate toward a dusty rose type generally, though I like to layer with glosses for a different finish) I’m cool-toned and super pale (NW5, maybe as far as a 15 on super tan days) with naturally fairly pigmented, pink lips. I’ve been using concealer to take a bit of the color out, when I want a more dramatic look, but I’m getting so bored of just putting what amounts to the same color as my natural lip color right back on. If I wanted to do a nude, do you have recommendations? What about other flattering lip color (aside from vamp red, which I also rock from time to time) for my complexion? I’m up for anyone to weigh in, not just Christine!
Maybe something like NARS Darling for a nude! You could totally wear a berry lip, too 🙂
