Post Christmas/Early Chinese New Year Haul


So I just got home from watching Bridewars! It's super entertaining...a bit of a laugh here and there then got teary in the end...its a fun and feel good movie...Next on my list is Marley and Me... Look what I got!!!! Super excited!!! Thanks to my aunt for these lovely goodies... without her I wouldn't get these lovely stuff!!!
Origins Go Smooth Set: I've used this one and I'm liking this! It smells a bit herby and citrusy... Some of my pimples dried up after using this! But the corner of my nose stings a bit when I used this..but still I like it...and it really brightened my face...I saw an immediate brightening effects.. 

Makeup Goodies: Black Up Eyeshadow Palette, MAC Studio Fix Fluid, MAC Studio Fix Powder, MAC Select Cover Up Concealer, MAC Eyeshadow in Trax and Sketch, MAC Macroviolet, MAC Pigment in Sweet Sienna

I noticed that NC 25 to 30 is too yellowy for me so I told my aunt and she totally grabbed me a new foundation, powder, and concealer!!! Now I'm damn sure I'm more of a NW girl than a NC... Though I'm kinda 75% NW and 25% NC so I'll probably just custom mix...
Black Up Eyeshadow Palette... this baby is pigmented and it comes with super good quality brush! love the brush! It isn't crappy like all the other brushes that comes with eyeshadow palettes... For all who doesn't know Black Up, it is a French brand... May buy the other variants if I'm not broke anymore! This palette cost about $60 here pretty steep though...
MAC Eyeshadow in Trax and Sketch.. in person this two look very much alike but when you swatch it.. its totally different.. The MAC website says its a burgundy plum with bronze flex... but no its not! It may look like that when you see it in person but when you apply it or in the camera you can see its just not burgundy what i can say is its more pinkish purple... Sketch is a total love of mine! You probably already know I'm a sucker for burgundy plum shadows...

Hmmm... MAC Pigment in Sweet Sienna.. OHHH.... I got really excited when I saw this!!! Its a purplish gray with golded flecks...I've been lemming this for the longest time!!! And I just noticed that some pigments contains about 4.3 grams while others contains 7.4 grams...Is this a problem or am I just getting paranoid? LOLz
MAC Fluidline in Macroviolet... its soo pretty and its fluidline...do I need to say more? Y'all know how I'm super addicted with fluidlines!

And here are swatches of the eyeshadows...
