MAC Archie's Girls Collection Haul

MAC Archie's Girls Collection was released on counters today and I picked up a few things. For now, I'm just putting up pictures of everything. I'll do individual posts over the next few days!

Mini Sephora Haul

When VIBs were able to get an extra 20% off sale items, I picked up a couple of items.

The first thing I got was the Smashbox Studio Pop Eye palette. This contains 16 eyeshadows in a variety of colors and finishes and 4 cream liners. I haven't used a lot of things from Smashbox, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying this out!

Next, I picked up a Kat Von D quad in Starstruck. I mostly wanted this for the bright red shade. I had seen some swatches and the colors are all nice and pigmented.

Lastly, and not on sale, I got a Make Up Forever Aqua Cream in shade 20. It's a bright shimmery blue and I purchased it to use as a liner.

I'll try and get swatches and reviews up as soon as I've had time to play!

MAC Haul: Collective Haul

I've been bad lately with my cosmetics purchases... I'd blame the Holidays and all the great deals to be had...but most of what I've hauled has been from the MAC permanent collection.

I got into MAC later on into my cosmetic obsession, but have been thoroughly loving some of their products lately. I have a wish list that's a mile long and pick up one or two things here and there.

First, I grabbed Studio Sculpt SPF 15 foundation. This has an interesting gel/cream formula and medium to full coverage. I have only worn this once, so I don't have enough to really evaluate it yet.

I did get two items from the Taste Temptation collection. I picked up the Mattene lipstick in Nocturnal Instincts; a lovely mauve/lavender. It's very pretty and seemed to be the most wearable lipstick of the three available. I also got the Lipglass in Revenge is Sweet; this looks quite purple/fuchsia in the tube, but is quite pink on.

From the permanent offerings, I got a lustre formula lipstick in Hug Me. It looks pretty brown in the tube, but being a lustre it doesn't add much color. It really just warms up and adds shine to my natural lip color.

I also picked up two eyeshadows in Gorgeous Gold and Wedge. Gorgeous Gold is a light gold with a green duochrome; it is quickly becoming a favorite for me! It's so pretty and really brightens the eye. Wedge is a matte brown. It's nothing super exciting, but is a nice crease color and I am looking to add more matte/satin finishes to my stash.

Finally, I got Tan pigment. It's a beautiful, shimmery...tan. I don't usually go for pigments since they are so messy, but the color was too pretty.

Swatches of the lip products are l-r: Nocturnal Instincts Mattene, Revenge is Sweet Lipglass, Hug Me lipstick.

Eye products: Gorgeous Gold, Wedge, Tan pigment

Little MAC Haul

So, I grabbed a few things off my wish list yesterday. I haven't had much time to try them out, but wanted to post my new pretties!

The lipsticks I picked up are Rebel and Angel. Rebel is a beautiful plum/pink with a satin finish. It looks a bit scary in the tube, but has a sheerness in the lips that makes it very wearable. Angel is a light pink with a frost finish.

The eyeshadows I grabbed are Shale and Haux. Shale is a purple/brown/taupe. Haux is a pink brown.

I'm really looking forward to testing these out and getting reviews up soon!

MAC Holiday 2012 Haul

This is going to be just some pics of the items I grabbed. I got one Extra Dimension shadow in Natural Flirt and a Fluidline in Catch My Eyefrom the Glamour Daze collection, a lip set in Coral, am the Mineralize brush set.

Ulta 20% Off Haul!

I took advantage of my 20% off coupon at Ulta this weekend. I love when I get one of these in the mail. Ulta really has a great points program.

I picked up a Too Faced Glamour to Go palette. I looked at the Holiday one, but decided against it since I have so many neutrals in my collection. The regular one has a few non neutrals while still being wearable. This has 8 shadows, a blush, a bronzer, and a gloss. Nice to throw in your bag since it has a great array of color products.

I also got the Tarte Smoulder Eyes kit for Holiday. I have never used these before, but after seeing swatches knew I needed it ;)! It has some stunning colors.

That's all I grabbed, but I am super happy with my choices.
