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…

MAC Mini Haul

I couldn’t help it. I had to go back and pick up Cinderfella mineralized eyeshadow. Before the MAC Style Black collection came out I just knew I would go for Young Punk and Blue Flame…but when I saw it in person I wasn’t in awe over it, but I did fall into awe over both Cinderfella and Gilt by Association. These eyeshadows are BEAUTIFUL and I am not crazy about MAC mineralized eyeshadows either. These two are just so unique. Had to have. HAD TO HAVE!!

I also picked up a couple of eyeshadows. I told myself that I will buy at least two eyeshadows every time I get paid to build up my collection. So I picked up Ricepaper and Sketch this time around.  I’m using Ricepaper as a highlighter and I just love love Sketch…beautiful matte, deep purple.

Love!  I’ve been using it in my crease and it just comes out so pretty on my skin.  Once I get a better camera I will start posting swatches…until then I can only show you what I bought.

My MAC Halloween Day Haul

I’m oiling like an oil rigg these days so I had enough and decided to hit up the MAC store to finally try out MAC Blot pressed powder in Dark.  I really like it.  Anything is better than using a paper towel (pressing it over my face removes my makeup) or several blot sheets  (which gets expensive).  I really should try the loose powder instead because I think I’d like it better, but for portability reasons and to not mess up my purses by mistake, I went for the pressed powder.  I am not using the powder puff it came with because I can imagine it getting really dirty and oily and just plain nasty.  Gross.   Price: $21.00

I also picked up a mineralized eye shadow from the Style Black collection, which I said I wasn’t going to bother with but when I saw Gilt By Association I had to have it.  I thought I would have gone for Blue Flame because I love all MAC blue colors on me.  I am not a purply girl, but I will wear purple so I skipped Young Punk.  I think I may go back and get Cinderfella because it’s so me.  Gilt By Association just looks the best out of the four to me.  Price: $19.50

Lastly, I picked up two permanent eyeshadows.  The first one I picked up was MAC Plumage which is a dark blue whale type of color – that’s the best way I know to describe it.  Moby Dick like.  It is a matte color and it went well in my crease when I paired it up with MAC Silverthorn (LE) on my lid.

I also picked up the ever lovely MAC Antiqued which is a burnt orangey color…it is a great jewel tone for sure.  It is a veluxe pearl which means it’s easy to work with and it has some shimmer in it.  I love this color for when I want to tone it down, like today.  It was a rainy mess outside so instead of coming home looking like a racoon from the usual flashy colors I wear, I decided to bust out some MAC Antiqued, MAC Patina and MAC Dark Edge (LE) as a “Fall Seasony” look today.  Price:  $11.oo each (pan)

Haulage Before My Last Haul

Not sure what’s up with me, but I’m forgetting to post hauls.  I went on a drugstore / MAC haul maybe a week ago…a day before the haul I posted last.  Ha!  I also got a new Sonia Kashuk Fluffy Eyeshadow brush I forgot to post about as well and I love it.  I won’t post a pic of this because I just bought it one day.  OMG! This reminds me of the Studio Tools medium eyeshadow brush I picked up too.  LOL!  OK so I got two brushes from Target that I am not going to post about, but I’m letting you know that I have them and that I love the Sonia Kashuk brushes better than my one Studio Tools brush.  I honestly haven’t used my Studio Tools medium eyeshadow brush enough yet so I haven’t learned to love it.  I will let you know!  Price: $4.99 (Sonia) and $2.00 (Studio Tools)

OK…moving on!

I was out of eye makeup remover (what a tradegy when you don’t have any and you have to remove your makeup!) so I decided on Clean & Clear Eye Makeup Remover because 1.  I was at Walgreens so I couldn’t get the Target brand ha!, and 2. it was cheaper that Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover by 2 bucks.  It works just like the Target Eye Makeup Remover brand. *shrugs*.  Price: $6.00

Walgreens had Maybelline products as a buy one get one half off so I decided on mascara.  I always wanted to try Colossal and Lash Stiletto mascaras so this was almost a good time (I like BOGO better, but oh well).  I’m in love with Colossal and will pass on the overrated Lash Stilletto because it’s just plain sloppy.  It’s not as sloppy as Rimmel, but it’s sloppy.  Colossal rates higher than the overly overly over rated CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara (which I have but don’t use anymore).  Price: sorry…I forgot what I paid, but it wasn’t much.

I was tired of wasting my MAC Studio Fix Fluid because I was pouring too much out.  Once I pour product on my hand, I do not put it back into the container do product is wasted.  So, to remedy the problem I went to get a foundation pump.  While I was there I thought I’d give that MAC Kohl Power Pencil in Feline, a repromote, from the Style Black collection a try.  I was reading on Specktra that it is the blackest black eye liner MAC has.  I love it.  I’ve been using it everyday since I got it and I will go back to get a back up because I love it so much.  Price: $5.00 (pump) and $14.50 (eye pencil)
