This week’s Mellan photo…

Haul: Jealousy Wakes!!! Eek, I’m so excited…it should arrive today.
Weekend plans: Going to the cottage for the long weekend (Canada) and holidays all next week!
Fingers crossed you like it!
Oh I totally do! You did an awesome job!
Michelle? Cottage in Canada? You sound just like my Uncle’s girlfriend/wife(They’re not planning on having a wedding but I guess they’re married in a way…). You just made my day with how much you resemble her! (Except I don’t think I’ve ever seen her wear eyeshadow as bright as Jealousy Wakes!) Sorry, that was kind of awkward.
Haul: NARS Barbarella, BeneFit They’re Real! mascara, and a hand-held labeler to label all of my palettes, shadows, foundations, etc!
Weekend plans: Maybe NKOTBSB for a second time tonight; otherwise just relaxation!
Go-to summer foundation: MAC Studio Moisture Tint or NV Perricone’s tinted moisturizer
Hello kitty lucky tom palette – i bought it off a blog sale and some jumbo eye pencils. Estee lauder double wear foundation in shell beige, its my holy grail foundation replacing my studio fix fluid. And an evisu hoody & evisu cardigan for my boyfriend.
Plans are to go to a suprise birthday dinner, play some PS2 with my brother, catch up on the sleep ive missed from watching movies all night and having work early in the morning.
I dont have seasonal foundations and only change my foundation when i find a better formula.
From the Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale – 3 bottles Fix + Lavender and the Tartan Tale mini nail polish set
Then I stocked up at Ulta (20% off coupon) – PTR Gentle Complexion Pads, Pureology Shampoo, Phytodefrisiant Gel, Boscia Primer, Pop Nailpolish
Weekend Plans – not much really, but I’ll probably go to the free Air Supply concert in the park on Saturday (yay 80’s!)
Go to summer foundations – Philosophy Supernatural airbrush powder OR Estee Lauder Double Wear Light (depends on the condition of my skin)
Haul: Jealousy Wakes. Brock my no-buy just for that.
Weekend plans: The family is taking my time. ^_^
Aww! I hope you like it!
Haul: SparkleNeely & Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow! I wore JW today to work-had to play with it- I used Delft paintpot as a base, JW to the crease, dazzle light on the inner corner above JW to the middle of the eye- then cut the crease with Omega and a fluffy brush…I then popped blacktrack fluid line 60’s style liner . Holy crap- it looks so good. Everyone keeps stopping me to check out my eyes- good work christine!
Sparkle neely sparkle is actually quite nice as well. I heard some horror stories, but I didn’t have any issues with it last night at all. It just pulls slightly burgundy on my skintone.
Weekend plans: I work all weekend.
Go-to summer foundation: Origins VitaZing, Nars Sheer Glow, Laura Mercier Silk creme, MAC prolongwear mixed with Nars Orgasm illuminator- I have foundation ADD and these all look good and work for me.
Yay!!
Haul: I bought Benefit’s sugarbomb blush on Sunday & looove it! Thanks for the awesome review on it, Christine. I really appreciate the reviews you do on makeup; I’ve been buying makeup based on your reviews so I never end up w/ something I don’t like!
Weekend plans: Washing the car. That’s it. Maybe the beach Sunday.
Go-to summer foundation: I used covergirl powder foundation year round It’s pretty good; although I would love to find an alternative that would keep my nose nice and matte all day (it gets shiny all the time, & it’s not even greasy) and isn’t too heavy on face and doesn’t rub off.
Aw, thank you!
Haul: Estee Lauder Pure Color Illuminating Powder Gelee from the Modern Mercury Collection. Will you be reviewing this, Christine? And a back-up of MAC Bubble Tea Plushglass (I just can’t find a good dupe… anybody?)
Weekend Plans: Maker Fair at Henry Ford Museum! Love to see people dressed in Steampunk garb 🙂
Go-to Summer Foundation: I’ve been so impressed with Stila’s redone tinted moisturizers with higher SPF 20, and Boscia’s BB cream gives great coverage on my acne scarring.
xoxo for Mellan!
