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

May Favorites... a little late!

Hi Everyone!
So I took a picture of my May favorites, but forgot to put one thing in the picture! It is the MAC Paint Pot in Painterly. I use this under most of my eyeshadows as a base or primer. It keeps the shadow on allllllll dayyyyy longggg and does not crease! Sometimes I use it alone with just a simple sweep of eyeliner and it looks very classic and pretty.

From the picture (L-R):

1. OPI Nail Envy in Matte--just a nice base coat and strengthener I've been using a lot
2. Bobbi Brown perfume in Beach--ahhhhh I LOVE spraying this in a room and wearing it! 
3. Bobbi Brown pot rouge in Pink Raspberry--I know it's discontinued but I love this color!
4. NAR Sheer Matte foundation (color is ceylan)-This is my go-to foundation! I am loving the formula and the way it looks on my skin!
5. NARS bronzer in Laguna--so pretty and so summery, need I say more?
6. Philosophy's Hope in a Jar--best moisturizer ever! I love the whipped formula and it works great, even on my combination skin!
7. Dior's Diorshow Extase mascara--I got this super sample from sephora online. I had no idea what I was about to get because this puts your lashes on steroids haha
8. MUFE High Definition Powder--omg! This stuff is great to keep your face matte all day and feels sooooo smooth! It doesn't change the color of your foundation either.
9. iSkin Pore Perfecting Face Bruch--similar to clarisonic's brush, but the bristles do not move-they vibrate. Still it's a good dupe for those (like me) who are on a budget. This is $30 at Sally's and beats paying $200 for the real thing. 

What are your May favorites?

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?

Bronzed Summer Look

Hi Everyone! Yesterday I decided to do another simple summer bronzed eye look. This look was quite easy and something I could wear everyday of summer if I needed to. I started off with the same usually cleanse, moisturize, primer, foundation, corrector, concealer, etc etc face I do for most of my looks. For my eyes, I used MAC's rubenesque paint pot as the base. Then I layered the gold part of MAC's odd couple on top of the base. This made a nice  shimmery bronzed eye. For liner, I used Bobbi Brown's creamy eye pencil in walnut (from the 10 pan challenge, if you remember how bad I failed at that one...). Then I did the double coating of mascara's using Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara and Dior's Diorshow Extase on top. For the cheeks, I used NARS laguna bronzer (I am LOVING this stuff!), Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick in Apricot for a highlight and then Bobbi Brown's pot rouge in powder pink with a pop of Bobbi Brown's pale pink on top. Layering helps for the bronze-y pink look! I really might just wear this look for every day... or maybe not... haha : )

What looks are you liking for this summer?
