Collective Haul Part 1 (Makeup part)

Bag full of Goodies :-)


These are just a few makeup products I bought a few weeks ago, but since I am in an APO address Mac cannot ship to this address if the product contains alcohol..now, to tell you truth I honestly don't know what product I could of bought that contained alcohol because on my previous puchases that I made at Mac it was pretty much the same products (different colors of course), but anways so I had to ship it to my inlaws house and then they shipped it to me. So I finally received my stuff today and I was so excited because I have been waiting for these for quite sometime now..anyways so these are my newest addition to my makeup collection...


Just an overview of everything together...


I was pretty excited for the Liberty of London collection when I saw it on temptalia.com, but when I saw it on the Mac website, for some reason nothing really stood out to me, the eyeshadows were not something I would wear, the lipsticks they looked like something I already had, beauty powders well I don't really use that, blushes, were not that pretty and nail polishes, well we as you know i am not a fan of Mac nail polishes...so the only thing that stood out or I thought was pretty was Peachstock lipstick and the Free to be eyeshadow, now I will admit, i kind of want the Birds and Berries eyeshadow, but i doubt I will get it :-)
I wanted to get Everhip lipstick but I am not a fan of the cremesheen formula either, my Creme D' Nude melted for some apparent reason, it wasnt even exposed to heat or anything it was at room temperature


These are one of my favorites I love eyeshadows (neturals to be exact lol) so I had to scoop me up some that i have been dying to get my hands on: (left to right) Mulch, Shroom, Nylon, Retrospeck
Also got the beige-ing shadestick, naked liner, the 239 eye shader brush, and oh my god, my favorite well this is not a eyeshadow but I am in love with this blush (ombre) Azalea Blossom, they were sold out for a while online and I kept on checking back to see if they had it back in stock..when I saw that it was I quickly had to grab it and buy it, thank god I did because its Sold out again..and for good reason its beautiful...now if they would only have Ripe peach again..its still sold out and i missed out on it..ugh..



So, one of my favorite makeup gurus on youtube is Makeupbymel..I freaking love her videos I love her personality i just love the way she does her makeup so everyday netural which is what i like, well if your a fan of her videos you know that these are her favorite eyelasher the Ardell 105, she always talks about them so i had to try them out, I bought 3 just to check them out, they look pretty nice, but I can't say I like them or hate them right now since i havent tried them on...I'll let you girls know later


I really wanted some nailpolishes for times that I am able to wear nail polish like long weekends or when I go on vacation, and i fell in love with these two colors, when I think of Done out in Deco by OPI i immediatly thing of juicystar07 i know i've seen other youtube gurus wear it but for some reason she just pops into my head because she was the first one I saw wear this nailpolish and I loved it, so I had to have it..now China Glaze For Aubrey i read that its suppost to be a dupe for Mac's Peppermint Patti and you pretty much can't find that nail polish anymore, I've tried no luck :-( so I settled with For Aubrey..and its a very pretty color, defenitly something I will be wearing something soon on my next long weekend :-)



I was most excited about this little baby right here, I am probably the last person to get this palette, and I am sure you girls know everything about this by now, its of course the limited edition Alice in Wonderland palette by Urban Decay...I love love love this palette, the colors are amazing so beautiful, i know they are basically same colors as previous palettes from UD and they just changed the name. I was going to buy the other available palettes since this was was pretty much impossible to find, btw I bought this one on ebay, but everywhere I went it was sold out. I ended up turning to ebay as my last resort so I decided to go ahead and purchase this one instead since it has same colors as other palettes and it was limited edition..i am so glad i bought it because it is absolutely gorgeous...I cant' wait to use this shadows...

Current favorite beauty products

So, I thought i would show you guys some of my favorite products that I have noticed i've been reaching for more often these past few months. I know the pictures are not great but I think they are fine, hopefully I can get a better camera later on after I am done saving up for my trip in December...but we shall see..anyways so most of them are Mac, of course I love Mac its my favorite brand, well one of my favorite. Hope you guys enjoy...


These are all the products i am loving at the moment....



OMG...I wanted to try this for the longest, and I finally got my hands on the NARS Laguna Bronzer and the Orgasam blush...I purchased this little baby at the PX (Post Exchange in Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany) It was at a lower price than what Sephora sells it for, so I just had to have it..and I love the Bronzer, the blush is okay, but Laguna Bronzer is the best...


I love concelears and these are three of my favorites, as you can see the Coastal Scents one is already hitting pan with the darkest color i use that one the most, the Benefits Boiing concelear I just recently started using again I had forgotten how much I liked it..now the Studio Finish by Mac I love the coverage, but it dries up a lot around my eyes and i hate that...but I still love the coverage..



For eyes, I am loving the UDPP in the color Sin, I just have the mini size version of it that came in the Get Baked palette, For eyeliner I love the 24/7 UD liners in the color Zero and Bourbon, and Mascara of course the Lash Blast by Covergirl is the best, I won't lie I just recently fell back in love with it..I had also left it behind to try new ones then came back and rememberd why it was my favorite..its the best



For Primer, i love the Mac's Prep and Prime...I think I am running low on it, so until I can repurchase this one I will use the Smashbox primer, but defenitly i always prefer this one over the Smashbox one


Now, my favorite lipsticks..I wasnt a big lipstick type of girl, but I started to get into them and now i just love them, these are pretty much my go to lipsticks I love these all Mac except one it's from Gosh cosmetics, they are pretty much all nude colors except for the obvious one Viva Glam Gaga, and I love the Close for comfort lip conditioner from the Warm and Cozy collection (FYI- Blankety was my first Mac lipstick ever)
Left to right-Blankety, Viva glam II, Freckletone, Myth, Darling, Viva Glam Gaga..(FRONT) Close for Comfort lip conditioner



I recently just started using false eyelashes, they are okay, i just use them on the weekends sometimes, I bought a few from red cherry..and i have to say these red cherry #213 are my favorite they look so natural when you put them on, and as you can see i have use them a few times (3x to be exact) and now they are gone, i have to repurchase some of these again I love them.



For face I really love (lol i really love everything dont I...lol) but I love my MSF in Medium Dark, it makes my face look so nice flawless and natural its just the best setting powder I have ever used, for blush I am loving the Mineralize blush in Rhapsody in two from the Too Fabulous collection..it can also work as a highligh..used with a light hand, I love it because it gives me such a nice glow to my face the perfect summer glow for me..to contour my face I have been using the Sculp powder and I love it..it really defines my face better its just perfect for me


Eyeshadows-I just recently got the Too Faced Natural eye palette and its amazing I think everybody should have that paletter it has amazing colors and just so natural, I really love Silk Teddy, Nude Beach, Heaven, Honey Pot and Cocoa Puff.
Of course to prime my eyes I love Painterly Paint pot i use that one every day for work and on the weekends sometimes, but for the most part I'll reach for my Rubenesque paint pot on the weekends, its so beautiful
I am currently using Espresso eyeshadow by Mac to fill in my eyebrows because girls filling in your eyebrows is a must I didn't realize that until the makupartis at mac did my makeup and she said it pretty much makes or breaks your whole look and it really does. So Espresso eyeshadow works best for me its not to dark just right...
And pigments, I love love love love chocolate brown its in the permanent line so make sure to pick it up if you haven't already, and Reflect antique gold its a glitter and it just adds a little extra something to your look its amazing i love it, now Vanilla pigment I use it for a highlight and its by far my favorite highlight ever..so I guess that one should not of been included on the eye section of this blog...lol

Well, thats it for now...<3
