MAC "Bombshell" Lipstick

Been awhile since I shopped the permanent MAC lipsticks but I did while doing some Christmas shopping and picked up "Bombshell."

MAC Magnetic Nude: "Carnal Instinct" and "Morning Rose" Lipsticks and "Autoerotique" Blush

After Christmas, I did a little MAC haul from the Magnetic Nude collection. Yesterday, I finally got my new camera so I'm back in the game!

Let's take a little look at Magnetic Nude...

MAC So Supreme Lipsticks in "Sweet Grenadine" and "Candy Apple" with Swatches

A couple of the lipsticks from MAC's So Supreme collection grabbed my eye. I purchased "Sweet Grenadine" and "Candy Apple."

MAC "Tart & Trendy" Lustre Lipstick

I received my "Tart & Trendy" from the MAC All About Orange restock and it arrived today. I hadn't even considered it until I had seen it a few times and it really grew on me. After reading a lot of wonderful reviews, I was sold. I'm a big fan of orange lipstick. (I also swatched Tangerine Dream from this limited edition collection.)

RiRi ♥ MAC "Heaux" Retro Matte Lipstick

After partaking in the crazy drama that was the launch of RiRi♥MAC, I got "Heaux" today. I ordered "RiRi Woo" also but I did so in the heat of the moment, the ordering excitement got to me and I'm not sure I needed it. But, Heaux on the other hand... I couldn't wait to see it in person!

MAC All About Orange "Tangerine Dream" Lipstick

I stopped by my MAC counter yesterday morning while running some errands and such and they were almost already sold out of all the All About Orange lipsticks and the store had only been open for an hour!

I only planned to get the one that looked best to me and in the end, I grabbed "Tangerine Dream."

Wedding Nails: MAC "Kid Orange" Nail Lacquer

"Kid Orange" was a shade from the MAC Shop MAC Cook MAC collection. (I hate the name of that collection, but anyway...) I went to a wedding this past weekend and this was the nail color I chose to go with my dress. I wanted to take a few great shots of my makeup and outfit but I didn't get many good ones so a nail post will have to do.

I put a personal post on my website about the wedding which includes a couple of photos. It is located here if you happen to be interested.

And on with the polish...

MAC "Rhythm" Lipglass

I'm mostly doing this post because I'm so excited to have bought a MAC product again after such a long time. Months & months! (Also, the blog has a new layout... Scope it out!)

So of course my one teeny lipgloss (and it is teeny) came in a box far, far too large. I didn't pay much attention and didn't know this collection had limited edition packaging so that was exciting. I get a little too thrilled with the packaging, though, I know. I like this one.... Makes me think ultra-bronzey hot, hot summer.

But you'll know what I mean about me and packaging when I tell you the "ooooh, purple insides" moment I had when opening the box:

MAC Surf Baby Haul & Comparison Swatches

I wanted to get these swatches online yesterday but after hitting several MAC counters (I was working on a CP for someone) and all the driving around, I was exhausted... But now here they are. I swatched my new items with similar shades in my collection.

I bought My Paradise cheek powder, Hibiscus lipstick, Bust Out lipstick and two eyeshadows in Sun Blonde and Saffron.

My MAC Shadow Collection (Because I Recently Did Some Depotting)

I had a few MAC shadows to depot so I decided to try the stove method the other night. In the past, I've used wire cutters to crack open the little plastic part to get out the metal pan. Not a recommended method. I've shattered parts of my shadows that way. I'm going to include the video I used as a guide at the end of this post in case any of you aren't familiar with the stove method of depotting shadows. It's so much easier and safer for your shadows. Me, the biggest klutz in the world, didn't screw up at -any- point. Amazing!

This post is mostly a picture post to show off my MAC shadows--my favorite kind of makeup to collect--not a stove method tutorial. If you have any questions or anything, throw me a comment :)

I pop out the little plastic parts with a knife.

MAC Flighty Collection

May 5, MAC is coming out with a whole buncha brand new cream eyeshadows. I'm excited because I love MAC's little glass pot packaging and they come in a variety of colors. I'm not a huge fan of cream shadows but these are worth trying in my eyes. I'm a MAC girl! Come on!

Also coming out with this collection are some limited edition zoom lash shades...

MAC "Wonder Woman" Lipglass

I only bought one item from the MAC Wonder Woman collection. It's also the last thing I bought before I went on the no buy I'm now on (which I already mentioned on Twitter). I have another haul post to post still but until then, no buying for me for a looong time!

So. I love this lipglass and I'm very happy that I bought it. I tried it on as soon as I got it... A light dab on the lips and it adds a VERY pretty red hue. I think I'll be using it as sheerly as possible so it lasts and lasts---plus I'm in love with the sheer color if you don't layer it on. I have sooo many reds but this has that gorgeous golden shimmer to it.

MAC "Ethereal" and "Atmospheric" Lipglasses

These two lipglasses are from the Lightfully Bright MAC collection (available online at maccosmetics.com, $14.50). The blue is "Ethereal" and the sheer plummy color is "Atmospheric."

Ethereal is about what I imagined but Atmospheric is unfortunately sheerer than I was hoping for. They look absolutely gorgeous in the tubes--especially Ethereal. It reminds me of mermaids and pristine water. Soo pretty.

I'm planning to get the "Ethereal" and "Atmospheric" lipglasses--what do you have on your wish list? Anything?

MAC "Military" Nail Lacquer & CoverGirl "Disco Dazzle" Topcoat

This is MAC's "Military" from the Alice + Oliva collection. It has a sparkly matte finish and it really is a nice looking polish but... Well, don't expect it to last. Toward the end of this post, I show you how my nails looked after less than a day.

MAC False Lash Mascara Review & Photos

I was so happy to find this mascara at my MAC counter the other day. I had just decided to purchase it online when I found that it had sold out. I wanted something from the Marcel Wanders collection and this not only interested me product-wise but I also really like the packaging--an important aspect of a mascara for me, apparently, because I bought Haute & Naughty Lash for packaging reasons. (I'm sure you guys can understand.)
