M·A·C: Wonder Woman

(Photo Credit: maccosmetics.com)

My Wonder Woman package finally got here a couple of days ago.

I was anxiously waiting for it and think it got delayed because of the blizzard.

I only got three things:

I like the box packaging better than the compact packaging lol.

It reminds me of children's makeup, but it's what's inside that counts.

First things first, this msf is huge! (0.70 oz.)

If you have a light complexion you can use the trio as a highlight, bronzer & blush, but you can also mix them together to create different shades.

The blush can work as a nice highlight on darker skin tones.

I think these shades can be dupable so if you can't get your hands on it you can probably find other products that will work just as well.

It is nice however to have a trio like this to throw in your makeup bag & for traveling so that you don't have to haul around tons of makeup.

I really like the lipstick packaging, I love the red star detail against the gold on the top part of the tube.

This lipstick is a pinky-nude with a lustre finish.

If Hue (satin) and The Faerie Glen l/e (lustre) had a baby it'd be Marquise d'.

This lipstick is a deep magenta with a satin finish.

It has more red undertones than Petals & Peacocks l/e (amplified).

The collection launches in stores and counters tomorrow.

Have you guys pick up anything from this collection yet?

If not, what's on your list?

M·A·C Haul: Cham Pale, M·A·C + Mickey Contractor & Peacocky Collections

I'm so glad this post is finally up! It took a long time for me to work on it because I was sick when I started it and then I put it off to the side.

I bought everything when it came out so I've had plenty of time to use everything.

You can still find some of these things online or at a MAC store or counter.

Chez Chez Lame is a light gold Special Reserve Highlight with shimmer. It applies smooth with an off white sheen.

Yash is peachy-beige matte lipstick. It's actually pretty creamy and not drying.

These Kissable Lipcolours have been described as a liquid lipstick and I couldn't agree more. I only got Woo Me but I loved it so much that I got a back up. It's a pinky-beige and pretty opaque. It reminds me a lot of Hue.

Paparazz-she was the first Mega Metal Shadow that I added to my cart because it's nothing like anything else I own. This eye shadow is an orange-copper and very pigmented with a metallic sheen.

Spectacle of Yourself is a cross between a chocolate brown and a bronze. It is a very pigmented eye shadow and also has a metallic sheen.

Centre Stage is a bronzy-chocolate brown, also very pigmented and with a metallic sheen.

I would have to say that my favorite products from this haul were Chez Chez Lame, Woo Me and Paparazz-she. Did any of you get anything from any of these collections?

My Favorite Winter Lipstick ♥

I'm glad to say that school is finally over for the semester! I get a few weeks of relaxation before it's back to no sleep and stress...wamp wamp. :o/

I'll probably be working a lot because I would like to quit my job once the new semester starts, but I don't know if I will be able to do that. Either way, I will have a lot more time to blog! That makes me really happy because I have a lot of catching up to do!

I had a chance to take the picture below just before my camera died.

(the words on my face are from my mirror haha...)

I was actually waiting for my ride when I snapped this. I was planning on making a post featuring my favorite Winter lipsticks, but instead decided on a series of my entire lipstick collection.

Above I'm wearing MAC's Viva Glam 2 which is probably my favorite Fall/Winter lip color. The website describes it as a muted pink-beige but I think it has purple undertones (or at least that's how it looks when I apply it), which is why I like it so much. It has a satin finish so it applies fairly smooth and is not too drying.

What's your favorite lipstick right now?

M·A·C: The Faerie Glen Lipstick

I was pretty excited when MAC's A Tartan Tale collection came out. After thoroughly looking at the products on their website I realized that I already had a lot of similar products in my own collection. I only picked up a couple of things, one being The Faerie Glen lipstick. I'm pretty much a sucker for anything nude, neutral and pink...

I'm trying hard not to spend more money on makeup that I don't need because I already have so much that I don't use and it's all going to expire anyway. Instead of getting one of the other lipsticks from the collection, that I know I probably won't wear often, I decided to go with something that I'm going to get a lot of use from. I was considering getting Cut A Caper, but I have a lot of peachy pink lipsticks I still have to finish...and now it's sold out anyway lol.

The Faerie Glen is a pale neutral pink and has a Lustre finish.

This is definitely one of my new favorite lipsticks. I'm considering getting a backup!

Drugstore: Wet N Wild

Wet N Wild is one of the cheaper drugstore brands and until recently the quality of their products was pretty cheap too. They have come out with new products and the quality has improved, so a few months ago I picked up a couple of the Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Colors. I hadn't used these much until recently.
901B- Think PinkI am soo glad I pulled them out from the back of my lipstick drawer. They are really pigmented, go on creamy and have a semi-matte finish. They are fragrance free and surprisingly non-drying. These run for about $3 a piece so be sure to check them out. I can't wait to buy more!
