All About ME...Taryn =): July 2009

So today I had a big shopping day, haha...it's probably making up for those times I just bought a thing or two. But anyways, I wanted to share my awesome purchases with you guys...including the couple of items I got from MAC's new Color Craft Collection. I have already posted a video on YouTube, but here I waited to share better pictures and swatches.

The Damage:

First stop: Ulta

So here I had the intentions on just getting a moisturizer and a nail polish. However, when they didn't have either item, I went looking around which we all know is trouble!

Items Purchased:

Back up of Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara...I love this stuff!

NYX Lipgloss in Sweet Heart (Thanks to Allthatglitters21) *Swatch at lower left of hand

China Glaze Nailpolish in Turn up Turquoise

Smashbox's Try Me Collection Vol.2-Okay, so this was my total splurge here, but it was still only $29, and I have really been wanting to try O-Glow and also another primer from Smashbox since they have so many to choose from. In the kit comes: Bionic Mascara, Reflection High Shine Lip Gloss, O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color, Photo Finish Foundation Primer, and Fusion Soft Lights in Baked Starburst. Also, with a purchase of any Smashbox item you get a free sample of a tinted moisturizer in Luminous. I will have to try these products out for you guys and report back on it they were any count...or not. So excited about this find though, since it will allow me try many products without spending a whole lunch and wasting product, too if I don't like it.

So I also went to Walmart and bought some Johnson's Baby Shampoo...finally got to clean some of brushes REALLY well tonight.

I also went to Best Buy where I bought the Essential Michael Jackson Album. This thing is AWESOME!! It was 38 songs on it ranging from his days in the Jackson 5 all the way to like 2001 with You Rock My World. The only downfall is that it doesn't have one of my favorite songs: Give In To Me. But it does have like everything else so I think it is great!! A definite for someone who wants all his great songs together =)

So then I'm off to Sephora. I only needed one thing, and that was Clinique Moisturizing Lotion. I love this lotion!! And let me tell you for people who like it, Sephora sells a 1.7 fl oz bottle for $12.50, and the 4.2 fl oz bottle is $24...do the math, haha...I got the bigger one obviously. It also has a nice pump that makes for easier usage!

I was kind of upset with Sephora though, I didn't get a nifty free sample today...but oh well.

Finally...off to MAC to check out the new Color Craft Collection. It was pretty awesome, especially the eye shadows. However, I didn't want to go too overboard until I start seeing what others got and their reviews.
