Mac Haul

So this post is super late..I purchased a few  items from the mac heavenly creatures collection as soon as it became available online. I only purchased two blushes in Supernova and Solar Ray. I also purchased a few other items from the permanent line

-Studio Finish Concealer Nw 45
-Pro Longwear Concealer Nw 45
- Prep + PrimeTransparent Finishing Powder

A closer look at the blushes..from left two right as follows:

Swatches..Supernova(top) and Solar Ray (bottom)

I must admit that I am not a fan of red lipstick..I`m more of a pink and neutral kind of girl..but I have been hearing so many great reviews on this color..so I decided to back to mac for the infamous color Ruby Woo.

I must say this color is beautiful.

Big Lots Haul

I went to my local Big Lots to pick up a few items.  I came across a few philosophy items..although they had other items as well..these were  the only items I purchased. These were three bucks a piece,,not bad considering that they retail for 20+ dollars each. The items are from left to right as follows:

-Amazing Grace Shimmering Face Powder
-Heavenly Light Pink Illuminator
-Mineral Blush Duo

I also purchased a few Aveeno skincare items. I purchased a clear complexion foaming cleanser and a smart essentials daily detoxifying scrub..which both came with a free sample sized daily moisturizer.

Hot Topic/Sephora Haul

I went to the mall to get some candles from Bath and Body Works when I came across Hot Topic`s War Paint Beauty lip gloss. These were on clearance for 1.99 a piece. The colors are from left to right as follows:

-Sweetheart
-Grimace
-Brightest Pink

I also stopped by Sephora .I just picked up a Smashbox double ended lipgloss in peepshow for 9.99 and a very beautiful Sephora brand glossy gloss in Tangy Bite for 10 bucks,

Wet n Wild Summer Nail Pail

I spotted the wet n wild summer nail pail at CVS. This set includes a nail file,a nail art kit w/24 nail stencils, toe separator, six nail polishes, one clear coat, and a pail..all for only 9.99.

Wet N Wild Haul

I stopped at my local Walgreens to get a few wet n wild items that were on sale for 99 cents. I grabbed a few  megalast nail polishes..the colors are from left to right as follows:

-Undercover
-Club Havana
-Through The Grapevine
-Private Viewing
-Bite The Bullet

-I also purchased a few lipsticks..these were 99 cents as well at walgreens..however I purchased one from CVS for 49 cents due to using a few coupons..99cents is still a good deal considering that the normal price for these range from 1.99-2.99 .The colors are from left to right as follows:

-Spotlight Red.....some claim that this lipstick is s dupe for Mac`s Ruby Woo
-Mauve Outta Here
-Don`t Blink Pink.

I also stopped by CVS to grab a few items. I have been hearing great things about the wet n wild coloricon  brow and eyeliner pencil in dark brown for filling in eyebrows. I wanted to try this first before spending 15 dollars on Mac`s spiked eyebrow pencil.I also grabbed a blush in Mellow Wine.

The Body Needs Haul

I ordered a few items from The Body Needs. They were having a 25% off of the mac lipstick samples and 20% off some some of the mac pigment samples. I wanted to try a few of the mac lipstick samples just to see if I would like the colors before purchasing a full size lipstick for 14.50.I love mac lipsticks but I must admit I have gone to the mac counter or made an order online .. tried the color on my lips and just did not like how it looked ..so this was the perfect opportunity  for me to try a few colors that I have been wanting to try. I also ordered 2 mac pigment samples. The colors are from left to right as follows.

*Lipstick Samples*
-Pink Nouveau  (satin) (permanent)
-Girl About Town (amplified creme) (permanent )
-Goes And Goes (pro longwear lipcreme) (permanent)
-Asian Flower( sheen supreme) (permanent)
-Up The Amp (amplified creme) (permanent)

*Pigment Samples*

Mac Haul

Mac had free second day shipping..so I placed a small order for a few staple items that I needed.

-Brush Cleaner (13.00) I love this brush cleaner..it cleans my brushes and makes them really soft. I have tried a number of brush cleaners..some have been good and some bad..but I always come back to good ole faithful.

-Fix+ (10.00) I grabbed this 1 fl oz of fix +  for my makeup bag.The larger one is a pain for me to travel with so I wanted a smaller size for convenience purposes.

-Mineralize skinfinish natural in Dark Deep (29.00)  I do not wear foundation ... so this a great alternative for me . I love this skinfinish but If you are looking for something with coverage..this might not be for you...for me it is just a finishing powder for a matte look or dewy look if I spray some fix + after application.

-Duo Image Compact Mirror( 11.00) This mirror is travel friendly and I also use it everyday  to do my eyebrows. I love the fact that it is doubled sided..one regular side and the other side is  magnified.

-Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick (14.50)  I saw this color and fell in love.I have Pink Friday and I have yet to use it.I figured that this color would suit my skintone better than the Pink Friday.The great thing about Mac Viva Glam lipsticks are that  all of the proceeds goes to Mac`s aids fund to help those living with hiv/aids.

A closer look at the Viva Glam Nicki..this color is beautiful.
