Traveling Makeup

HELP! Ladies (And Gentlemen) how do you travel with your makeup? I am going on vacation for a week and will be flying... what are your essentials? what do you take in your 3-1-1 baggie? do you check a bag or just do carry-on?

HELP ME!

Find of the Century!

So like I mentioned in my last post, my mom and I went shopping on Saturday. I got quite a lot of things, but I returned a pretty expensive item and just bought makeup with it. Anyway, my find of the century items.....

dun dun dun....

Triple Fusion and Smooth Merge

YES! MAC's MSF's from last summer! I didn't start using MAC until two months ago, but once I read about these products online, I had to have them! I wanted smooth merge, triple fusion, hand finish, and petticoat! (in order of highest want! haha) Basically, I was looking at MAC's To The Beach collection at the counter, left to find my mom, walked back over and there, in the middle of the collection sat Smooth Merge! OMG! I asked the makeup artist if they had anymore in stock! She said yes and they also had Triple Fusion (I did ask about the other two, but they didn't have anymore)! WOW! These things are going for around $40 on ebay and I just couldn't see myself paying that much for something.... Anyway, I bought the last Triple Fusion and I think there are a few Smooth Merge MSF's left. This was the one limited edition collection I thought I would never get! : )

And according to Temptalia's website, petticoat will be out later this summer!!!! wahooo!!!

I'll post about the rest of my stuff later! But enjoy the MSF's for now!!!


What's the one limited edition item you missed out on and are still craving??

Going Shoppin'

My mom and I are going to our favorite mall this afternoon! I'm hoping to pick up a few things and keep the word budget in the back of my head. Good thing I am returning a few things so I can exchange without spending.....

I'll let you know what I pick up later! I'm really craving some MAC, Bobbi Brown, and NARS... who would've guessed? haha

: )

Makeup Cravings

Hi Everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I have had a hard time coming up with blog ideas... if you have any, let me know!

For this post, I'm going to let you know my current makeup cravings (wish list) for early summer!

1. Bobbi Brown Beach Club Collection--I am a true Bobbi addict! I am going to decide which shades I really want when I go to the counter, but I'm definitely wanting the shimmer brick. As for the cream shadows, I don't think I need the nude color since I have the painterly paint pot by MAC. I am thinking the Moonstone (green) and the Pink Oyster for sure. I will let you know when I finally make it to the mall!
2. NARS lipstick in Dolce Vita, Love Devotion, and Roman Holiday
3. NARS lipgloss in Chihuahua and Turkish Delight
4. MAC lipstick in Hue, Myth, Creme Cup, Creme D'Nude, and Angel
5. NARS nail polish in Orgasm and Purple Rain
6. MAC paint pot in Bare Study
7. MAC 239, 168, 130, and 188 brushes
8. Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15
9. Benefit blushes in Dandelion and Sugarbomb
10. Benefit ultra shine in Foxy Lady and lipgloss in Who Are You Wearing

And that is actually like 100 things I want... When I do get something new, I'll be sure to let you know! : )

What are your beauty cravings?

i miss blogging!

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I have been missing from the blog for a while. It feels like 3 weeks... Anyway, update on the computer--I have to send it into Apple for them to fix it since a service provider is farther than an hour away. I am hopefully sending it in today or tomorrow, but I still have to drive 20ish minutes to take it to FedEx to send it in. Blah. Right now I am using my fiance's computer...

Makeup update: I really suck at the 10 Pan Challenge. I never use the lip glosses, but I have been using the eyeliner and foundation almost every single day. I am more conscious of my use and my spending. So even if I do not complete this challenge, at least I came out with that.

However, I have bought something else. : ( I had to order it from MAC's website because all the Belk's within a 100 mile radius that sell MAC were sold out. It is the pearl glide eyeliner in Designer Purple. Yes, I bought purple eyeliner. I'm not in middle school. I promise I am going to do something really pretty with it and it was sooooooo gorgeous in person. And the only reason I decided to go ahead and buy it is because of the limited edition--stores will not be getting anymore of these. Other makeup shopping news: I returned some products that were bothering my skin. I decided to get some other MAC products. Here's what I got: lip pencil in subculture to wear under my viva glam gaga lipstick, the 266 small angled liner brush, and mineralize eyeshadow duo in odd couple. The eyeshadow is super cute and will work with the new Designer Purple eyeliner. I cannot wait to show you this look when I get everything in.

Yesterday, I did one of my best friend's makeup for her baby shower. I used Bobbi Brown's nude palette, plus some creamy eyeshadows to really make her eyes pop. I will do a full blog post on this when I upload my pictures. She looked so beautiful yesterday!!!!

Let me know about your makeup or if you have any questions. I love makeup and talking about makeup.

okay.... i needed retail therapy today.... i cheated on the 10 Pan Challenge.

yeah, i'm definitely addicted. but i didn't want to buy clothes... the only thing that cheered me up today was makeup.

: (

so.... i am going to tweak the original rules... IF i run out of a product i need and use daily, i can replace it--for example, the eye cream. anyway, here's what i bought today: Benefit's Dr. Feel Good and Benefit's Erase Paste (number 2). i will NOT use these products until i finish the challenge. i just couldn't resist today.

please forgive me.

sincerely,

addicted to makeup
