Hard Candy 50% off EVERYTHING


MAC ELECTROFLASH haul & swatches

I went back to the Pro store yesterday *evil grin*. I kind of planned to pick up 2 or 3 more mineralized eyeshadows and I purchased Hot Contrast and Sea & Sky.





Now here are swatches requested by Jnie. I'm so sorry for the late reply - do I need to stress out how busy I am? LOL.


Anyway, the good stuff!!!! :)

LUSH

Since this post, LUSH became my other guily pleasure. As much as I love make-up (MAC and other brands), LUSH is another thing I cannot live with out. Well okay, this is my other addiction.

I was first introduced to LUSH while waiting for my brother in Orlando Airport one Summer day of 2006. If I remember it correctly, I bought Buffy. I think I liked the almond scent of it. It is exfoliating and extremely moisturizing. Fast forward a year and a half later (earlier this year). We were walking around SOHO and the candy-scented LUSH SOHO drew me in. We didn't bought anything but I took a mental note that I will come back. I did went to another location (Herald Square) and bought the items I posted then on this entry. I started going to the store once a week. That once a week visit became twice or even three times a week visits!!! I became one of their "favorite customer" (it is pretty embarrassing lol coming from an SA who called me that). Then the addiction began...

Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar


I'll try to post my own bath cocktails and reviews here and there, but of course I'm no way gonna forget make-up!!!

MAC: ELECTROFLASH 7 SONIC CHIC

I get off early from work today (Yayyy for holiday weekend!) and you know I gotta check MAC Pro for new collection releases! I am so happy with today's purchase - and I will definitely be back to pick up two or three more mineralized eyeshadows (possibly - Fresh Green, Odd Couple & Sea and Sky) from the Electroflash collection. The other eyeshadows are either dupes from Tectonic or previous collection and most of them have a texture of Tectonic (something that I didn't like), so I only picked up two. I only liked the Fast Thrill lipstick because it is such a pretty hue of pink, while I've seen the other 3 colors form previous collections. This goes the same with the lipglosses. I only bought Sonic Vibe and Cultureclash because they are too pretty to pass. Cultureclash is a very pretty pink and whenever I look at Sonic Vide, it reminds me of Nymphette but a lil on the red side.

The Sonic chic collection is a must-have (well, at least for me!) Each color is very unique on its own way and I love that! I picked up the prettiest of them all (LOL) and I will be back to pick up two more (still deciding on which one).

Here are my goodies for today -
I HATE to watermark my photos but I have seen other people (beauty bloggers, hello!) steal my pictures to use on their blog or youtube videos! Yeah I said steal because there are no credits back to me. I think it is necessary to give the credit to whom its due. So yeah, pardon the huge blog link lol. Please enjoy my pictures1 -

Haul: Neo Sci Fi & Solar Field


I got all the eyeshadows from the Neo Sci Fi collection. I didn't plan to get any - not until yesterday. All the eyeshadows are work-friendly (for me) and that's exactly what I need. I feel like I have been wearing bold eyeshadows lately for work and I need to calm my makeup down LOL. Overall, this collection is perfect for me!
I bought the Expensive Pink on a pan since its a repromote (also saved me $4, hehe). I can't wait to play with these - probably tomorrow!
I only bought Sci-Fi-Delity & Pleasureseeker lipsticks because these are the only ones that I would definitely wear. I know for sure that I'll be wearing these two lipsticks a lot, that's how pretty they are! And same goes with Soft & Slow & Pink Grapefruit lipglasses.

The Solar Bits are pretty too! The Black Ore & Bronzescape are both sold out at the 2 MAC stores that I went to but I might check a few other stores tomorrow to get those. I haven't really played with these yet but I've heard from other people's review that the fallout from these pigments are bad! I would recommend using a Mixing Medium or Fix+ when using this.
