MAC Pro

yay! so i finally got to go to the MAC pro store today. it was a bit of a drive, 15-20 minutes or so, yeah thats a long way for a city girl like me! haha but i picked up 2 of the 15 empty eyeshadow palette as well as parfait amour and pink venus eye shadow in pan form. i wanted to pick up some blush, but ehh maybe next time!

anyways i was trying it out, i put parfait amour all over lid, the shadowy lady in the crease, and taupeless all over on top of that, then put UD midnight cowgirl on top of parfait amour starting from the inner corner to halfway to the crease, omg, beautiful purple smokey eye. ill do it 2m and take pics because its night time and i dont want to wash my face again.

my brown smokey eye from yesterday using my UD deluxe palette, using shag, underground, and zero.

okay off to study for my final 2m!!! FRAUD ACCOUNTING!

25% off for Cyber Monday on Coastalscents.com I finally get to try these liners out. I didnt get black because i have blacktrack fluidline and HIP cream liner as well in black. i wanted to try other colors and maybe even use these as bases like a paint pot. i heard it has good staying power and doesnt smudge or crease. we're going to see how that works out!

Thanksgiving....

yeah i know i am so late with this thanksgiving post, but i have been out the house alot lately and no where near the comp to upload pics of my yummy food that my family and i had for thanksgiving. i didnt get a chance to take pics of the other food i had, because we ate it all!! lol we had asparagus wrapped with bacon, green beans and bacon, corn, home made gravy!, and tri tip. all the goodies =D

ELF Haul

i dont know why i keep getting things from this website, maybe because its dirt cheap. Be careful with your selection or you'll just end up buying crap.
Some things i bought that were good and NOT so good.

I tried out their new line, the studio line, and I got the:
Eyebrow lifter and filler - medium
The eyebrow color is very off and the creaminess its horrible for shading eye brows. The lift part of the pencil is creamy as well, so its hard to use this pencil for brow. And the pencil is very thick so hard to draw a precise line.

Conceal pencil and brush - light
I would say this is a pretty good concealer, creamy the color was right for my skin tone, but i havent tested out the last power on it. I use it under my eye and the convenience of the brush on the other side, which is very soft, make the blending and application for under eye coverage easier.

blush and bronzer compact
This kinda reminded me of the NARS duo, the blush is very nice, the bronzer is a bit powdery and without careful application you can look like u have dirt all over your face! haha that was what happened when i first put it on, but blend it out and it looks like a nice sunkissed look. The compact is fairly big as well, so that was nice.
eyebrow treat and tame - medium
the tame side is a spoolie while the treat side is like a lip brush, im not sure why i got this? I got medium and my goodness, when i put the tame side on my brows, which is the colored side, i looked like a clown =( the color looked horrible!! the treat side is suppose to help brow growth, which i do need in some areas of my brow, i hope that works.
waterproof eyeliner pen - midnight, black, plum
lastly, i got these eyeliner pens, the felt tip is VERY stiff, so it might hurt to apply, its very pointy for precise application, but i havent tested out the waterproof-ness of the eyeliner. not sure what to think of this yet.

MAC Paint Pot

Everytime i go into MAC, i always check out Painterly Paint Pot, i look at it, open it to check out the color, close it and put it back into its slot. i reason with myself that i have eyeshadow bases already, that i didnt really need it. so i walk away without getting it. i feel like a drug addict or something! i have Quite Natural Paint Point, which is great base for a brown smoky eye. I dont know why I want to get Painterly...i dont know if i will eventually give in or not. It's quite tempting each time I go to MAC.

Sales & Discounts

With all these damn sales and discounts, who could resist? I mean i swear, TooFaced, Smashbox and Shu Umera...damn them all with these temptations, all with 20% discounts or so and free shipping! along with gwp? how could i not get a thing. I stop by their websites and picked up TF Shadow insurance, gifted with a miniture one as well, smashbox, i wanted to try the o-gloss, so i picked that up, and of course Shu Umera, i dont have the eyelash curler so i got that as well. *sigh* this blog has not helped my addiction at all, for all i know, it has increased my addiction! lol i swear i give up lunch to go shopping for make up! lol

Latest Buys

ahh the never-ending hauls! Today, for lunch I took a walk and how convenient is it to have a shopping mall 2 blocks away from work! Pics when I get home, haha still at work.
What I got was the MAC Smokey Eye palette from the Holiday collection. I dont have any of those eye shadows, so yay! haha not a total waste to get doubles, and bought it mostly because I wanted to try Satin Taupe, which I read good reviews about. Later i stopped by Forever21, which was practically across the street!! and got some 4 headbands.

okay back to work

edit: AHHH when i came home i recieved my 2 swaps and everydayminerals stuff!! yay =)
so i got NARS eyeshadow in Nymphea and Urband Decay Midnight Cowgirl. I got 10 shadows from EverydayMinerals. Niiice!
