My MAC FF haul

I got my MAC haul from the friends and family discount. I'm pretty happy with everything, although Freshwater seemed more impressive at the counter and its really close to NYX's Maui and a couple other colors I have.

Chrome Yellow e/s
Freshwater pro pan
Prep+Prime w/ SPF 50
l/s from top to bottom: Bombshell, Creme de la Femme, Blow Dry, Show Orchid

Blow Dry is less orange irl, and Show Orchid is much brighter


& my entire MAC lipstick stash all together

Claire's nail polish haul

Aren't they preeeeeeeetty? It was so hard to choose just these four. I'm not going to have swatches until the middle of next week. I just cut down my nails because one broke down to the skin, so I'm a little ashamed of them. When they grow out in a couple days I'll take pics.

Marine Blue (this is a lot more neon then the photo shows)
Meg Peg (little bit more purple then fucshia)
Magic (10x more magical in person)
Periwinkle (prettier then it looks here)

China Glaze & Misa nail haul

Hello ladies! Yes, I did it again. I have bought yet MORE nail polish. Some of you may be wondering why I am suddenly posting about nail polish instead of my usual make up stuff. The reason is that I now have so much make up I can't stand to buy more (and there-for have nothing new to post about in that area) and nail polish is so much cheaper. Each bottle is $2-$3 on average so I'm saving money these days. I do still have some reviews/swatches to do on some make up stuff so this isn't suddenly going to be a nail-only blog or anything.

Anyways, here is my gorgeous haul. I got everything from transdesign.com. I am going to have a hard time choosing what color to use first, but on Monday I am going to wear Bahamian Escape to celebrate my twin nephews being born. My sister is going to have induced laybor Monday evening. The reason for that is that her last kid was born in the car, less then an hour after her water broke, so she doesn't want to risk not making it to the hospital. Plus, her doctor is the only one at her hospital that will deliver twins naturally. They told her that if her docter didn't get there in time they would do a c-section whether she liked/needed it or not. Apparently they have NEVER done a natural twin birth there. To me thats effing retarted, but supposedly they get more money for c-sections, greedy bastards.

Also, I've had a few request for nail stash pics, which I will do soon, and some nail care videos. I will get started on those next week after things have calmed down. I do have some ideas for nail tutorials so you may see those soon.

Cherryculture Haul: NYX & Sinful Colors + NOTD

I got a really great package from CherryCulture yesterday!

I got some NYX round lip glosses. You know how they use to smell like lemon air freshener? Now they smell like SHERBERT ICE CREAM!!!! (not too strongly though) And they fixed the stopper so it doesn't come out.

All these colors are so gorgeous!


I got some more Sinful Colors nail polish. I am becoming obsessed with these. I am a little sad because on the CherryCulture website it said Hypnotizing Trend was called Katrina, and I wanted it because thats my name. The number on the sticker & CC is the same so I'm pretty sure its not a mistake which the actual color.


I couldn't wait to try out this color.

& here I put on a few of the NYX hearts

MAC FF Haul

I got my FF haul from MAC a few days ago. I got the lipsticks Chatterbox, Lovelorn, and Angel. Those are my first MAC lipsticks. I also ordered Prep + Prime SPF 50 but they sent me a fluidline instead. I emailed them about the problem and they emailed me back in 15 hours and said they would send me the P&P free of charge and I could keep the fluidline, which is awesome. I'm glad that MAC has such good customer service.

Coastal Scents Haul; glitter and gel liners

I felt like getting some fun glitter in Christmas colors to use during the next 2 months, and it took me a while to realize that Coastal Scents has 1 teaspoon samples for under $1.50. So, I got red, green, & gold plus a red and gold eye shadow. The Crystal Teal was a free sample.

I also had to try their gel liners. They are half the price of MAC and HIP (just $7!) and they have more then the basic black/brown/navy/purple colors. I got Sky Line and Turquoise and I love them! They dry fast, a little bit goes a long way, and they are really bright. To apply them I got the black handled taklon liner brush, which is very thin and applies liner really well.





L-R: Sky Line and Turquoise

Theshespace Cindy Swatches & EOTD

Here are the swatches for yesterday's SheSpace haul. All of the colors are a bit brighter in person and very shimmery with lots of sparkles. I think I'm going to get The Golden Rule in full size, and I was thinking of getting Rapunzel's Bad Haid Day and Short On Sass in full size but like I mention below they are very similar to NYX's Deep Purple and I can't justify having 3 of almostthesame colors.

Dupes:
-Rapunzel's Bad Hair Day & Short On Sass are both very similar to NYX's Deep Purple.

Lime Green is very sheer so I prefer Dragon Breathe.

Sky Pink & Pumpkin Head don't look the same in this photo but they are very close.

Turquoise came out looking bluer in this photo but the colors are the same irl.



UDPP
Cindy's Got Gumption (all over lid)
Pumpkin Head (crease)
Maybelline Great Lash mascara

Didn't think I would like CGG but it reminds me of hot chocolate and cinnamon.

Theshespace Cinderella haul!

For ref I ordered the 4th, it was send out Wednesday and arrived today (Friday). I haven't used anything yet so my opinions will come out when I do swatches tomorrow.

Out of the samples I'll probably get The Golden Rule, Sort On Sass, Repunzel's Bad Hair Day full size, and maybe the last two blues. I love the greens I got, especially Be The Fairytale.







These are from the regular collection.

Small haul from About Face/TheSheSpace.com

I put in just a small order a few weeks ago and got my package Saturday, so here is what I got!

I can't wait to try Pushing Daisies, it looks so pretty!

These are meant to be added to other pigments. At first I was a little confused when I saw these because they were just white sparkles, but when you put them against a dark background you can see the colors. I have no clue what to put these in.

This is not one of the regular colors, this was just a free pigment from Heather to make up for the long processing and shipping time.

Cashmere Stockings is a finishing powder meant to really give your skin a soft glow, I haven't used it yet because I'm waiting for my skin to heal. I used something that made me breakout pretty badly two weeks ago and I am still getting new (but thankfully smaller) breakouts right now. Will review once I give this a go.

Super cute Forever 21 tops!

I went to Forever 21 this morning (I'll be moving in any day now) and found 3 really cute tops for practically nothing. The first two were the ONLY ones in the store, and I got them (muahahaha!). I was going to order these online anyways but the F21 website doesn't seem to have all the colors up. The third shirt I was going to order online too, I like not having to wait for it to come in the mail though. I've got plenty of other stuff to get online anyways (like more of those $12 jeans, SO COMPFY!).

$4.50


$9.80


I paid like $20 in total, my wallet is happy =)

MAC & NYX hauls

On Friday I went and checked out MAC's Cool Heat collection. All the eye shadows were gorgeous but I only bought Cool Heat. I was going to get Blue Flame and Gulf Stream but BF is almost identicle to Deep Truth and Gulf Stream is very similar to NYX Wild Fire. Climate Blue looked like it was going to be a really pretty purple but when I swatched it it was a kind of chalky dark blue.

Then I stopped by the shoe store that had the NYX on sale. I got two more trios and October Sky single e/s. I swatches the two trios, along with the two I had before. These are done over a NYX jumbo e/s pencil which is tackier then UDPP so the e/s has better pigment. Some of these are more sheer over just UDPP.
