Mini MAC Haul

A few weeks ago, I visited the MAC counter at my local Macys. I picked up a few goodies. I got items that I thought would look good on my skin while I am on vacation in Turks and Caicos for my BD next month.  Below are the pics and swatches of what I got.

I also wanted the Ripe Peach Ombre Blush, Vintage Grape Ombre Blush, and Electric Fuschia Lipglass from MAC's Spring Colour Forecast collections but they were sold out. It is sold out online as well.

The Give Me Liberty of London Collection was on display also. I just was not moved to purchase anything from this collection, even though the packaging was really cute.

I have really been in an golden, bronzey, orangey(I know it is not a word, lol!), coral, neutral kind of mood. Therefore all of my purchases have been along that line lately. I am really pleased with my blush selections. They are really gorgeous on the skin. I just lubb(lol!) me some Sweet as Cocoa. Currently, my go to blush of the moment.

In order to give my hair a break, sometimes I wear wigs. I watched Ebony from ColouredBeautiful's You Tube Channel do a review on the wig in the picture below. Normally, I would have not given this wig a second look. However, Miss Ebony rocked this wig in her You Tube video. I just had to have this wig. I purchased it from Golden Mart Beauty Supply. It cost more than it cost Ebony but the site she bought her from went out of business. I have now found this wig on Hair Stop and Shop for $21.99. I love this wig. I just wish I can find it in a #1 or #1B.

MIA and my little goodies from MAC and Sephora

I have not posted in a while. I guess I have been so busy w/ being a mom, working, family, and most important trying to hear from GOD. The past week has blown my mind. All I can tell you is that GOD is so Awesome! He is so faithful to his word. On Friday, I decided to do a little makeup shopping. I went to Sephora and of course MAC. I took pics w/ my phone. They are not to clear. Anyway below you will find the goodies I purchased.


I purchased the Wisteria Trio from Dame Edna Collection and The Lucky Tom palette from Hello Kitty Collection. Below is a look I did with the Wisteria Trio.
(please don't rag on me, I see I could have blended a little better...LOL!)* I'm sorry for the poor quality of pics.


I also purchased the 217 brush a Indianwood Paint Pot. I really love the Indianwood. You can really wear it by itself.


I also went to Sephora and picked up some MUFE Matte Velvet+ Foundation in #65. I really like this foundation. After the suggestion of one of the Sephora employees, I also decided to try the Bare Escentuals primer because it he thought it was better for oily skin. I'll give a review later.
