Collective Haul: L'oreal HIP, MAC, Clinique, Body Butter/Moisturizer (Part2)

Here's part 2 of my haul!

BTW if you need to know more about some items from my haul do tell!

MAC Plush Lash
MAC 129 Brush
This is my new favorite blush brush!
The size and shape is perfect for applying color to my apples of my cheeks and even for light blush contouring...
MAC 266 Brush
I use this for gel liners or light eyebrow filling...
What I like about this brush is that it's so thin (though not as thin as my HG Smashbox flat liner brush from the Encounter brush set) it's great for creating fine lines and it makes it a lot easier to put eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible...
But my Smashbox liner brush is still my HG and favorite eyeliner brush...
MAC 239 Brush - this is my second one :D 
I need other flat fluffy shader brush to alternate with my older 239 brush
So it's a no brainer to grab a new one!
I find this brush great for applying pigments dry with minimal to none fall outs!
MAC Eyebrow pencil in Spiked
MAC Politely Pink lipstick
MAC Plink! lipstick
This is my second tube! I love this lippie!
This is my go-to lippie... One of my favorite lippies!
MAC Funshine Slimshine...
OMG! I love this color!
When paired with Gentle Coral TLC, the perfect coral shade!
The color is perfect for my skin tone! Every time I use this, I get compliments!
MAC Vanilla Pigment
This is my second jar! You can't never have too much of this stuff!
I use this as highlight above my cheekbones and brow bone...
I use this even bare face, this just gives me that awesome glow...
I also mix it with some some my mineral blushes that are too blah to give some interesting glow and sheen to it...
Warm Pigment set from the Holiday collection last year...
MAC Fluidline in Waveline
MAC Fluidline in Shade
L'Oreal HIP cream liner in Navy Blue
This blue is stunning! Even prettier than MAC Waveline!
L'Oreal HIP creme liner in Brown
L'Oreal HIP cream liner in Teal
L'Oreal HIP cream liner in Eggplant
Oh! This so pretty! This is great even for those no eyeshadow looks...
L to R: L'Oreal cream liner in Teal, Eggplant, Brown, Navy Blue, Mac Fluidline in Waveline and Shade...
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
This is my third jar! One of the things I can't live without!
It keeps my face so smooth and moisturized!
It also diminish dullness in my skin! Another thing I like about this product is that I can apply this even over my makeup without messing everything up and it can be used as a day cream and a night cream! I'm so happy this worked out for me great!
This smells AAAAmazing!!!
My heart beats faster whenever I smell this!
The scent just makes me soo happy! Plus it moisturizes my hands well without the greasy feeling!
Same with the other one, the scent is to die for!
Love this too!
JR Watkins Shea Butter in Green Tea variant
This smells good too but not as good as the two products above....
The scent may also be over powering  when applied excessively...
However this is great for hydrating the cuticles and heels!
Also good for hand massages and foot massage!

PS Don't forget to join my contest :D

Weekend Retail Therapy Part 2 (MAC Haul Part 5 - Creme Team)

Hiya! Beauties!
So this is the last post about my weekend haul...
I'll do a mini review too :)


From the Creme Team Collection...
I bought 4 Cremesheen Lipsticks and 4 Cremesheen Glass

First up, the Cremesheen Glass...
Though the colors of these are pretty...
The colors doesn't really show up that well...
It's the opposite of the Cremesheen Lipsticks...
As to how pigmented the Cremesheen lipsticks are, that's how sheer these are...
Though I think this is designed this way, as to complement and just to soften the appearance of Cremesheen lipstick and not compete with it...
However, though sheer,
these has the ability to change the appearance of the Cremesheen Lipsticks...
I've also noticed that some of these have very very miniscule shimmers, 
but its so small it can't be detected easily, and doesnt alter the creamy look...
These gives that extra milkiness/creaminess to the lipsticks....
This will soften the look of the Cremesheen Lipsticks...

Partial to Pink Cremesheen Glass...
This has a pinky color with slight bit of yellowish undertone...
This reminds me of MoonRiver Mineralized Blush...

Boy Bait Cremesheen Glass...
Peachy/beigey shade...
Natural nude gloss...

Ever So Rich Cremesheen Glass...
Milky lilac shade...
Tones down Lavender Whip, without changing the color...

Petite Indulgence Cremesheen Glass...
Bright blue pink...
Reminds me of Love Rock...
Looks bright in the tube, but sheer when used...
Perfect for any of the Cremesheen lipsticks...



Cremesheen Lipsticks...
This is my favorite lipstick finish now...
Really pigmented...
Gives that creamy luscious lips...
Have the same pigment intensity as of matte and amplified cream finishes...
Less drying than matte...
Though still dries the lips a bit...
Prep the lips first with a balm...
Great as it is even without the Cremesheen Glass...

Creme Cup Cremesheen...
I got this because this was recommended to me by Mona!
Thanks Mona! I love the color! So totally my type!
This a pink with beigey tone...
Great for creating pinky nude lips...
Me love this!

Spice is Nice Cremesheen...
This is a really warm brown...
I got this to tone down my bright orangey red lipsticks...
Totally look different with peachy lipgloss like Turkish Delight...

Lavender Whip Cremesheen...
The most sought after one!
This is a really pretty creamy lavender color...
I was surprised how pretty this is... I now understand why this is so popular...
Really unique...
I personally think people would be less shy wearing this than red lipstick, not that I'm afraid to wear red...I actually love red lippies hehe...
But this is for the slightly bold but not too bold enough...
I have a lavender lippie once but it made me look weird but this one is not too bright nor dull...
Just perfect for a lavender lipstick...

Shy Girl Cremesheen...
This is a creamy coral shade...
This one is really pretty too...
Gives you that coral shade but with a nude lipstick feel...

I totally recommend getting these Cremesheen Lipsticks...
I personally think MAC has out done itself once more by these lipsticks!
You haven't tried MAC if you haven't tried this!
Love love love from me! 
:D
