Weekend Retail Therapy Part 2 (MAC Haul Part 4 - Blonde, Brunette, Redhead)

Continuation of my weekend haul...

So many of you might be thinking...

Woah, she got all these stuff at one go?

Yes, I did, but I didn't thought of getting everything in just one moment...

The decent MAC counter is 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive from my house, so I dont get to go as frequently as I would like to...

Everyday there are stuff I wanted to get, and I list it and just when the day came to go to the mall, the list became so long...

So instead of just having small hauls in different days, I got one huge huge haul in a single go...

Hope I made sense...

:D

So moving on to the haul...

Here are the things I got...

226 Brush...

This brush fits my crease perfectly!

Though this brush put color to the crease well...

It fails as a blending brush...

You need to use another blending brush to blend out harsh lines...

Redhead MSF...

This one is pretty!

Get this if you still can...

Half works as highlight...

The other half is good as blush...

It degrades from a peachy color to salmon pink...

Blonde MSF...

Another pretty MSF...

Grab this too!

This degrades from a light peachy pink to a rosy pink...

This give you that glow from within look...

Peroxide Lipglass...

This is a pale pink lipgloss...

Similar to Fleur de Light Lipglass...

Good for toning down bright pink lipsticks...

B-Babe Lipstick...

This a rosy pink lipstick with frost...

Good for everyday too...

Blowdry Lipstick...

This is a sheer corally pink lipstick with shimmers...

However, I dunno why my camera's making this look more on the red...

Stay tuned for the last weekend haul post...

Next is from the Creme Team Collection!

Weekend Retail Therapy Part 2 (MAC Haul Part 3 - Dame Edna & Heatherette)

Weekend haul continuation...

These stuff are from he Dame Edna and Heatherette Collection...

First stop: Dame Edna 

I bought the Dame Edna High-Light Powder in Spectacle!

The box is so adorable!

Purple with tons of glitters!

The compact it came with would have become one of my fave if only the spectacle is not a sticker...

Inside is really pretty!

Though it would only stay pretty if you don't use it...

But of course I would definitely use it, so I wave goodbye to the shimmering beauty and embossed prettiness...

This might have became a MAC sought after item if only there where still those really pretty and very fine shimmer through out the entire powder until you hit the pan...

*My take: this would have become a very great product if only there were no stickers involved and Spray shimmer should be a big no no unless the shimmers last until you hit the pan...

From the Heatherette Collection:

I got 3 products from the collection...

You might be wondering why I'm still getting my Heatherette fix when it's so last year...

First, I like the Heatherette packaging,

I think it's one of the best MAC-created packaging...

Second, It's really cute and its pink!

Third, I need some of these stuff, so better grab  cute and funky LE items than grab the very boring regular items...

and Fourth, the pretty holographic dots with the Heatherette logo wont come off...

Isn't it pretty???

I'm totally going to reuse this compact!

Screw Back to MAC!

I wont give this compact back!

I picked up Heatherette Beauty Powder in Smooth Harmony...

I've been looking for something that I could lightly contour with, and something to warm up my face when I use BB cream...

I thought of the Heatherette Beauty Powder in Smooth Harmony!

I contacted the MA I know to see if it's still available and it is!

So I grabbed it!

Heatherette Lipstick in Fleshpot...

I was looking for a really nude lippie... 

So I got Fleshpot...

LE packaging or regular packing?

Of course the LE one! And its a Heatherette packaging, which I love!

My Underage Lipglass is almost out, so I need to get another nude gloss...

I wanted to try something different yet still something like Underage so I grabbed this Heatherette Bonus Beat Lipglass...

This would go well with my Fleshpot lippie...

Stay tuned for my haul from the BBR Collection, coming tomorrow!

Have a nice day!

Again for price info, just contact moi!

Weekend Retail Therapy Part 2 (MAC Haul Part 2 - Grand Duos Mineralized Blushes)

Continuing my series of post about my weekend haul...

Let me show you what I got from the MAC Grand Duos Collection...

I got 4 Grand Duo Mineralized Blushes...

MoonRiver...

Yellow pink solid with pink/peach melange

This is the least intense out of the entire collection...

This is not really sheer, its actually pigmented...

But I think the color itself is not meant to be as vibrant or intense-hope you get what I mean...

This one just gives a natural flush of pink in the cheeks...

This one is specially great for those who have heavy hands, and keep overloading with blush...

Hot Planet...

It looks purely plum, but when applied, it looks terracotta with plum undertones...

This contains a coppery terracotta melange...

The solid part looks a bit similar to Merrily Mineralized Blush but lighter and slightly cool...

This one is on the intense side but not too intense as the others...

Intenso...

Deep terracotta solid with pink and gold/copper melange...

This one is sort of the mother of Merrily Mineralized blush since this one is alot similar but more deeper and warmer...

This will give a warm flush on the cheeks...

As the name implies, this one is definitely intense...

Grand Duo...

Pure plum solid with copper and pink melange...

This one is great for smokey eyes but be sure to use it very lightly...

If your looking for a plummy color...

This is for you...

This one is intense as well...

*My take on the Grand Duo Blushes...

I like the blushes, since I like good pigmentation and I can control what I put on my cheeks...

Yes, these blushes are shimmery, but not sheeny...

Some of the blushes are more shimmery than others...

I love mineralized blushes and msfs, so this one is a definite buy for me...

These are very pigmented...

No need to buy a duplicate, since this would last forever! 

Unless, if yours got broken, since this are very soft...

I suggest not taking this to travel or putting this in the purse...

Like all the mineralized items, these are dusty as well...

I recommend checking these personally before buying...

I might probably go back and get the Love Rock but if anyone would like to send me one I'd gladlt accept!

Joke...But not really! :D

BTW I'm currently obsessed with nail polishes...

Can anybody help me get China Glaze Holographic Nail Polishes, as well as OPI MOD polishes?

I've ordered a nail art set too...

I think it'll arrive by the next two weeks, so stay tuned for nail arts in the future!

Stay tuned as well for more of my weekend haul!

Yes! There's still more!!!

Weekend Retail Therapy Part 2 (MAC Haul Part 1 - Hello Kitty)

This is part 2 of my weekend retail therapy...

This part will be divided into more subparts bwahaha...

So stay tuned for more of my hauls... :D

As you might have already know, I went to MAC Hello Kitty Launching Event at Rustan's Makati back on the 21st...

The MAC SAs and MAs were wearing really cute Hello Kitty Tee...

It was really cute and I really wanted to ask for one heehee...

They were all dolled up Hello Kitty style! 

I forgot to take the pictures of the SAs and the MAs...

Before anything else did anybody went to the launching event as well?

They were giving away Hello Kitty cupcakes to everyone who dropped by MAC...

These cupcakes are cute right?

I debated on whether to eat it or not...

But I though it would just spoil if I didn't so I ate it...

Mind you, it taste so good!

I even ate the candy Hello Kitty on top since I figured I can't do anything with it

and ants would feast on it...

The other cupcake is my cousin's...

So here's the damage...

I just bought a bunch of lip products, since I already have the e/s palettes and piggies...

The blushes and beauty powders have great packaging but none appealed to me...

Free Hello Kitty tote!

You get 1 per 3 items bought from the Hello Kitty Collection...

I was just suppose to get 2 totes

but the MAC MA I know gave me 3 totes :D

I just left one for myself and gave the others to my sister and cousin...

Pink Fish Tinted Lip Conditioner...

This one is really pretty...

One of the must buy in the Hello Kitty Collection...

I like Popster too, but its a bit similar to the TLC I already have...

hmmm... maybe I would get Popster too soon? Let's just see...

Cutester Lipstick..

It's a peachy pink color..

This one is on the sheer side...

If your looking for something sheer and good for everyday this is for you...

Strayin' Lipstick

This is a vibrant fun pink but not too bright when applied...

Fashion Mews Lipstick...

If you feel that you really need to get one lipstick from the HK Collection, get this!

This one is is a pinky lavender color...

(The picture doesn't really capture the real color of this lippie... It looks more on the lavander side in person)

This lippie is the most unique out of all the bunch...

And if you weren't able to get Lavender Whip, I suggest getting this...

This is the closest you'll get to Lavender Whip...

She Loves Candy Lipglass...

This is a pink with gold pearl/frost...

Fast Friends Lipglass...

This is a vibrant purple with blue pearl/shimmer...

I love this one! This is sooo pretty...

This is the most unique product in the entire collection...

If you just have money to grab just one product in this collection...

GET THIS!!!

This is my favorite in the entire collection!!!

Grab this while you can!

This is a must-buy!

*On the side note, I think the best packaging out of the entire HK Collection are the lipsticks...

Best product/Definite must-buy for me: Fast Friends Lipglass

Non-makeup related items...

My skin's been extra dry these past few weeks..

So I grabbed Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion and the one in the tub...

I really like this even when I was young...

But I like the scent in the tub more than the lotion...

The tub smells more yummy!

For prices of the items above just contact me :P

Weekend Retail Therapy Part 1 (P&J Haul)

So, first things first... Many of you asked why am I thinking of quitting blogging and what not...

It's just that there's so much going on that I felt like I can't keep up with things and

I just got sooo tired I wanted to be carefree and do less things...

Never mind getting physical tired, since you got easily get over that with sleep...

what happened was that I experienced mental exhaustion and I just wanted to do nothing but rest...

I had been thinking and decided that I won't quit blogging anymore but I would be on a blog vacation or you could say a temporary hiatus...I'll be gone for the next just a few weeks to rest but before I leave I'll be posting my hauls from my weekend shopping (It will be in 2 to 3 parts) ... 

Moving on...

So as I mentioned in my earlier posts that I'll be hauling real bad this weekend, and yes, I did!

First of I want to show you what I got from Paul & Joe...

I also want to share that lots of items are on sale up to 40% off until the 31st!

I suggest you hurry to the Paul & Joe counter in Rustan's Makati...

I was just suppose to get an eyegloss and a Disney face color, but I got more stuff...

Here are the items I got...

I want to show you this really pretty mini train case that I got as a gift with purchase...

I actually got two, but I gave the other one to my cousin along with some samples too..

What's cool with this case, aside from its free and its pretty, are  it has a mirror inside, it contains a removable tray with divider, it also comes with a brush holder beside the mirror, and it holds a pretty neat amount of stuff...

Protective Foundation Primer UV... Being a sun block advocate that I am, it's a must for me to get this... What I also like about this is that it comes with tint that diminish the look of imperfections, plus they say it makes the makeup last longer...

Protective Fluid Foundation... I bought this due to Mona and Fuz's raves about this... and I've tried this on the P&J counter and its totally foundation heaven!

I also bought a Protective Dual Powder Foundation... I really wanted to try this because it's Nikki's HG foundation... 

The compact is really pretty! I'm really gonna cry if this broke...

I wanted to buy the Moisturizing Compact Foundation as well because  it gives more coverage, but boo me I forgot to grab one...

I bought two eye glosses in 02 and 05 (pink and silver). I wanted the 03 (brown) too but I don't know why I forgot to get that too-I really hate myself for this!!!

My pretty P&J train case filled with P&J goodness :D

The SA at P&J also gave me two Preview magazines and two P&J News...

I'll try to scan the P&J newsletters to show you the contents...

P&J samples... The SA gave me more but I gave some to my cousin...

The grand finale....

These are indeed balls of happiness Mona!

I heart these babies!!!

Flower Blush!!! 

I also got another of the Flower blush for one of my favorite beauty blogger...

you know who you are... Hope you'll enjoy the Skunk blush I'll be sending you :D

Bambi blush!!!

P&J is now my favorite brand!!! Love the packaging and their products too!!! 

I heart Paul & Joe!!!

BTW if you want to know the prices of these items just tell me, ok?

Next post or posts will be my MAC haul...

I've gotta warn you early that I did an extreme hauling...
