Out of all the things I could be addicted to, why MAC?

I can't believe there are so many collections that MAC is coming out with this fall/holiday. It's absolutely ridiculous. Starflash is coming out in less than a week and from seeing swatches from Nessa, Christine, and Specktra, I'm seriously lemming all 12 of them. Even though most of them look dupe-able, the fact that it's a new finish is very attractive lol. From what I've read from fellow beauty bloggers, including Pursebuzz, the eyeshadows are silky smooth. Perhaps better than the veluxe pearls? If so, that would make them much harder to pass up since the veluxe pearls are my absolute fave. What are your thoughts on this collection?





On my for sure list are: Talent Pool, Top Hat, Sunset B., Mink and Sable, Smoke and Diamonds, Lotusland, and Dreammaker (i <3 highlight colors).

It seems that Dazzleglass will be making a comeback along with some new shades. How exciting! That will be the perfect time for me to get my hands on Sugarrimmed, which I didn't get when they first came out. As far as Cult of Cherry, the quads aren't exactly to die for and it doesn't help that each of them has at least one repromote. If I had to choose one I would definitely go with the Spiced Chocolate quad.



I'm not too excited about the Manish Arora collaberation. The palette is practically filled with permanent shadows. I'm not too crazy about the packaging either. But of course my thoughts may change if I see them in person. We all know how MAC can do that to us. lol.

Fafi for MAC

PurseBuzz has shared some pics of the upcoming Fafi for MAC collection. All I can say is that this is definitely, without a doubt, going to top the Barbie loves MAC collection. The Fafi collection is brighter, a lil more girly and has some funk to it. And I absolutely love the packaging. Screw the Originals, I'm not too impressed with that collection. Like I said before the only thing I'm getting is Parrot. Other than that, I will be starting my Fafi fund. lol.



So thanks to all of you who enjoyed my first (or second) tut. I did a look the other day with my Royal Assets Metallic Eyes Palette. I didn't think it would come out too 'Wow' but I really liked it. I wore it to work and took a few pics but I really need to learn how to take better pics with my cam. The colors get washed out and doesn't show the actual colors IRL.

Tonight I will be dropping off my mom and my daughter to the airport. (Yes, I have a lil girl too but she doesn't wanna leave grandma) They will be celebrating Christmas with my oldest sister in Boston. I was a lil upset about it because my sister had already purchased their tickets before I gave birth to my son (August) and no one had asked me first. I was looking forward to my daughter and new son spending their first Christmas together but unfortunately my sister really wanted her neice to spend Christmas with her in Boston. I'm still a lil upset but there's nothng I can do. I even bought them both their Christmas outfits. My daughter has a long-sleeve that says, 'OFFICIAL PRESENT-OPENER' and my son has a bodysuit that says 'Santa's Lil Helper' with matching Santa head booties. lol.

I slept in and totally slept through the cable guy knocking on my door to hook up our digital cable box and phone. So I woke up to my cell phone beeping with a new voicemail saying that the guy came but no one was home so I need to call them to reschedule. I was a little irritated that I missed him but what can I do. Nada! I guess I'll have to reschedule.

I got out of work late AGAIN last night. Ugh. I didn't leave til almost 1 am (I'm supposed to finish @ 11pm). It was my Friday so like always, I had to make sure I finished everything that I needed to finish up. I hate leaving my unfinished work for someone else to finish. Mainly because, seriously, if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. But I just wanted to share a few pics of the hubz and baby. The last two are what I came home to last night. After seeing that I didn't care about leaving work so late. ;)

MAC's upcoming collections

Seriously, thank god for Specktra.

MAC will be coming out with a collaboration collection with Fafi, a French street artist. You may be familiar with her work. This collection is expected to top Barbie loves MAC which came out in February of this year. More info can be found here.

Another collection to be released this spring is N/Naked. This will feature lipsticks, lipglasses, eyeshadows, and 2 paint pots. Others that I, personally, don't care for are nail lacquers, technakohl liners, and cremestick liners. Cremesticks & technakohls are not LE. Although none of the items are said to be LE at the moment, I guess that could change later..? Anyway, more info can be found here.

Okay so I've been contemplating on doing tutes for a while now. I've been inspired by the one and only PurseBuzz & of course that cutie patootie Stephie. Sooo, after some deep thought, I went to Wal-Mart after work and bought me a webcam. Just got done testing it out. It's pretty fun. Took a short vid of my son just to play around with it.

I was also looking to get a printer for our comp. As I was deciding on 2 HP color printers, the guy pointed out a Lexmark All-in-one scanner, fax & printer. And it was on sale for 25 bucks and only for today. The guy said he bought one for himself and is pretty pleased with it since it's meant for printing out photos but also does the job for black & white text documents.

Anyway, I'll be making a tute within the next 3 days which will be my days off. So happy I have a new toy. :) BUT bare with me, I know NOTHING about Windows Movie Maker. But I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with.

Last thing, since I just moved and am in need of some extra dough for furniture, I will be selling a few things from my MAC collection. There are things that I haven't touched or even bothered to try and play around with so they just need to go. Hopefully I'll find some time tomorrow to post them up.

But it's that time again. Gotta get my Zs. Ciao! Read More...
