Small MAC Mail Order Haul – by Mistake

My best friend was too lazy to create her own MAC account so she used mine to order her things and I forgot I had a couple of items in my checkout and she ended up buying my stuff, by mistake, plus hers.  My order came to about $50 for both things.  Yeah, MAC is high end on the low end and it’s still expensive.  Yeah, I know.  No worries.  I was happy to be getting them.

Anyway, I got a 168 brush ($32.00 I believe) and a lipstick in Faultlessly ($14.50 – from the F/W 2009 collection) which is an amplified (it goes on creamy and in true color).  This lipstick is amazing and looks amazing on me.  It has a little shimmer in it and it goes on dark, but it is lovely.  And I threw away my e.l.f. (ewww) angled contour brush because my new 168 is WONDERFUL.  I love both of my items.  Here are the pics…

Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Love Fragrance

Fancy Love smells AMAZING!  I also love Jessica Simpson shoes – sexy!  I originally went to Macy’s just to go and tes out the Juicy Couture fragrances and ummmm they do not appeal to me at all.  Pretty packaging, but they smell to be too loud or too fruity for my taste.  I’m more into sexy smells like Mariah’s M and Luscious Pink and my favorite Princess by Vera Wang.

So I’m going around smelling stuff…Baby Phat which smells like it has a funky undertone (me no likey), a fragrance by Jennifer Lopez which smelled sporty and clean and I don’t like those smells because that’s the way a guy is supposed to smell and many more.  I even smelled Queen Latifah’s fragrance – ugh!  I love the Queen, but I wasn’t feeling that perfume.  I then stumbled upon Fancy Love!!!

Fancy love smells like a good incense, very pretty and deep.  I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s soft and it’s not loud at all.  I just love smelling myself when I have it all.  Pure Love.  She also has another one and I forget the name, but it has a spicey smell to it and I didn’t like that one.  Fancy Love was the winner!

Fancy love came with a gift set.  I got a full size bottle of the perfume, shower gel, lotion and a handbag.  I had a choice between a burgandy or a tan colored bag and since my Grandmother was with me I let her choose.  She chose the beige one and I gave it to her.  I gave the lotion to my daughter.  I kept the shower gel and the perfume.  Nice!  Price: $59.  Pics (sorry for the darkness, but flash was a bit too flashy)…

The sales person stuck some samples (I have yet to try out fully) into my bag.  She gave me one from Guess by Marciano, Queen Latifah (I don’t like) and one by Paris Hilton.

My Coach Factory Store Haul

The Sunday before last I purposely took the drive in bad weather to go up to Tannersville, PA to go to the Coach Factory Store.  Coach sent me another 20% off postcard set to expire on December 24, 2009 so I wanted to use it this time.  I get to the factory store and they are having a 50% off plus 20% off sale going on so I didn’t even need to use my postcard.  I picked up only two bags because they were the only ones I liked and were my style out of all of the bags there.

I spotted this burgandy bag with traditional coach design all over it and immediately went for it.   The strap is in patent leather and also in a burgandy color which I love because it’s chic and not cute like the pink and sky blue baggies they had all around me.  The bag is also large and strong so that was another plus for myself.  I wore this bag a couple days last week and I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it.   Price:  $398  Sale: $159 -50% off + 20% off.

And I also picked up another Zoe in black.  I already have one in red (which I adore) so I got a black one because I love the ZOE so much and the color is totally me (I am a dark soul, but in a positive way).  And that’s all I found that really fit me…unfortunately.  People were  buying 10 and 12 bags each and I’m guessing they were all for Christmas gifts.  Anyway, I love the Zoe because it’s a large bag and it goes right over my shoulder AND I can wear it everyday if I want.  Love.  Price: 398  Sale: 159 – 50% off + 20% off.

The Makeup Part of My Tannersville Outlet Haul

I did not wait in traffic for 3 hours to go to Tannersville, PA Tanger Outlets this past weekend in the pouring rain, sleet and cold to hit up the CCO, but I did anyway (I really went to cash in on my 20% Coach Factory Store offer I got in the mail – I’ll post that lovely haul tomorrow).  I will say again how much I dislike this CCO.  They have a nicer selection of MAC eyeshadows than my CCO (Jersey Shore), but that’s about it.  I didn’t particularly care for the staff here either (the younger girls that helped me in the past were better than this set I had to deal with but that’s another story).  They are lacking in MAC products like it’s nobody’s business, but I am over it.

Anyhoooo!  I picked up three MAC eyeshadows ($10.25 each) and a MAC brush ($17.50).

From left to right…MAC Top Hat (a true purple color), Glamour Check! (a shimmery reddish-brown color) and Brown Script (a matte tannish brow).  Brush:  MAC 239

Swatches!
