Haul-July 9, 2009-Includes Color Craft Collection

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.

What I did get:

MSF in Sunny By Nature (Thanks to Michele1218 who said it was like so Ceylon)

Mineralized Eyeshadow Quad in Natural Flare-I think this will be especially gorgeous in the fall

226 Brush-I have been counting the day until this collection just to get this brush...it's amazing!

Not from CC Collection:

A Rose Romance Lipstick-Really pretty pink

Electric Eel Eyeshadow-I didn't have a blue at all in my collection!

So that's it!! Hope you enjoyed!

Have a great weekend everyone! Not sure when I'll post again, I'm going out of town all next week. Later!

A new day...new products!!

So I had a doctor's appointment today, and while I was out I decided to treat myself to some goodies. Not too many, since I've said twenty million times, I'm going to TN next week to my first CCO and such. However, I couldn't resist getting a couple things. OH! But you will be proud, I didn't even go into MAC, I swear I'm waiting until after TN and after the next collection in May comes out, since there are some things I'm waiting in that. Also, I'm waiting for some reviews on the Rose Romance Collection on YouTube to see if I need anything from it.

Anyways, but to what I did get...I went into Sephora and Victoria's Secret as well as I had placed an order with Sephora and it was waiting here for me when I got home (such a nice little surprise=))

First from my Sephora store experience:

1. Smashbox HD concealer-I recently got the MAC studio sculpt concealer, and don't get me wrong I really like it, however, it doesn't work well under my eye, so I decided to try this one. I don't have really dark circle or anything, but I just want something to make that area look more smooth. Hopefully this product will be it =)

2. Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero-So I was going back and forth between trying this one or Stila, and I asked a couple of the girls there and they both said to get this one. I have fluidline from MAC which I LOVE and where everyday, but I wanted a pencil eyeliner I could smudge and make less dramatic if I wanted.

3. Sephora Body Butter-This was my free deluxe sample, and actually it smells really good, so I'll have to see if it's greasy or what.

4. Murad Clarifying Cleanser-This was just a small sample the clerk threw in my bag (they have started doing this lately which I think is a great idea!). I'm always up for trying new cleanser, so I'll have to see what this one is like. I'll have to get on Sephora.com though and see if I can use it to get eye makeup off or if it's just a cleanser.

From my online order from Sephora...

1. NARS Madly Blush-As published before, I ordered this because Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD) used it in a tutorial and I just thought it was too pretty not to own.

From Victoria's Secret...

1. Beauty Rush Liquid Glitter Liner in Platinumania (Silver)-So I was checking out, and I saw this and thought it might be pretty with certain looks, maybe even over black liner to give sparkle. I know, I'm such a sucker, haha.

2. Beauty Rush Cream Shadow in True Blue-They has these products 2/$12 and I thought the color was pretty, and that it might work as a base.

So...that was all the makeup stuff I got. I've been thinking about taking some pics of the things I talk about so that way people can see them. I don't know, I'm still getting used to all this blogging stuff, haha.

Now off to see the bf and go get some Mexican...YEAH! =)

Later!
