My Haul from MAC's Divine Night Collection

This collection was pretty large, but I'm on no spend so I only picked up these three lipsticks. The other two lipsticks were just not for me, so I passed.  I'm learning (slowly) that if it isn't for me, or I won't wear it, to leave it behind.  This collection is available online and in stores, and I'm not sure if everything is still available.  I'm certain Private Party (lipstick) is all sold out, but the other shades are still available.  

The collection features "special" packaging.  Read: packaging we're going to charge you more for.  So while MAC lipsticks are normally $15, these are $16.50 because of the 'special' packaging.

MAC Retro Matte Lip Collection-SWATCHES!

Hi guys! I posted about this collection last week, you can check out my previous post here.  The collection is out in stores, and the sales persons/make up artists still weren't able to tell me which of the new shades will be permanent.  I hear that most of them will be, if not all.  Anywho, I swatched the collection below.  Check out the shades, these are def some beauties!!

Lipstick, left to right: 

Steady Going, Dangerous, Runway Hit, Flat out Fabulous, Relentlessly Red, All Fired Up and Fixed on Drama.

**For whatever reason, my MAC only had five of the pencils, so that's all I could swatch...perhaps the other colors are already part of MAC's permanent range**.

Dynamo, Trust In Red, Shock Value, Fashion Boost, and High Energy.

Time for Fall 2013 Makeup!!!!

I know it's July, almost August, but Fall 2013 collection information is being released left and right for all brands of makeup.  Some collections are even available for sale now, or will be available in August for sure.  I personally tend to love fall makeup, because it's warm and cozy and works for my skin.  I'm super excited, and will try and write a new post for a company's Fall 2013 makeup line.

Did I mention that my birthday is Friday? Woot Woot! The big 30 lol!!

Fall '13 Forecast by MAC

I've been eying (eye-ing) the Fall '13 Forecast/Lips by MAC for weeks now.  When I was going to purchase it, it was all sold out.  I noticed Monday night it was back in stock while I was perusing the website...but I didn't purchase it because its $40 and I was more interested in MAC's collection releasing later this week (I'll put that in another post).  Anywho, today I go to look thinking maybe I will pick it up, since I got some $$$ for Mother's day...and lo and behold. It's sold out again.  Clearly I needed to snatch it up as soon as it became available.  This is def a palette I'm going to keep my eye out for.  I like all the colors, but there are two that really stand out to me.  You can check out the palette on MAC's site.  

 I also noticed that FAll '13 Forecast/Eyes while on the site.  I normally am not the biggest fan of MAC eyeshadow anymore, but these are cream color shadows, and will likely have much better color payoff than MAC's powder shadows.  And the colors look great.  This is something else I'll add to my neverending "makeup I really really really want to buy" list. It's actually in stock, but right now its not on my OMG WANT NOW list, so I'll hold off.  You can check it out here.

However, next time I see the lip palette back in stock, I'm purchasing immediately. Check out some pics below:
