creme d'nude (back to mac) + red earth haul

ive been able to empty seven mac products! i get through mac foundations (powders and liquids), "boy bait" cremesheen glosses, and their "soft and gentle" skin finishes pretty quickly! but things like eye shadows, blushes, and lipsticks i usually take my time!

this is what i traded in:
and this is what i received through the "back to mac" promotion (six empty mac containers = free lipstick) ... uhhh, so i dont actually have a picture of just the new creme d'nude picture, but below is a picture comparing "myth"(closest to front) and "creme d'nude"(behind).
here are some swatches of "creme d'nude"(left/top) and "myth"(right/bottom). i prefer creme d'nude, hands down :)
and here is what i got from priceline from the red earth clearance/sale:
oh, and the mac "creme d'nude" lipstick is obviously there also haha.

the three eyeshadows i purchased were (clockwise from top left) burnt caramel(friken gorgeous colour), stormy night (used this today in my FOTD, post up soon :).) and iced brownieeeee - this eyeshadow was broken, and because it was sealed i didnt know that it was broken. i opened it on the way home and was like sdchjbvuirebuieqb. and went back to priceline, and they said cos it was clearance it meant i couldnt return it or even exchange! ffs.

i really wish i could do a post that didnt involve me complaining about shitty customer service! i am dooooomed.

oh, and they were $5 each, EXCEPT for the iced brownie! which was $10 - lucky me, the broken one was twice as much as the not broken eyeshadow! haha

anyways, i bought an eyebrow kit, my first ever eyebrow kit! i dont even have an eyebrow pencil, i have like tweezers, but thats about it :) its in blonde, and it was like $25+ or something? but i got it for $18. it has two colours, i use the darker one, and an eyebrow "Setting wax". so far, i like it :)
there isn't like a before or after, but here's me quickly just using the eyebrow kit :) its my first time, and i know it's a messy job, but i really like the way they turned out! hopefully i get the knack of it pretty quickly :)
ive never taken pictures of my eyebrows? before so yeah didn't know which angles were most flattering hahaha and except for mascara, not wearing any makeup! ewww. ahh haha

October Favourites + Loreal Haul


It may be almost December, but Ive decided to show you my October Favourites anyways. Its more Late October/Early November Favourites.
In the background is my Forever New Wallet.
Top left is Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black.
Next to that, Is my MAC Skin FInish in Soft and Gentle (Cannot wait to repurchase!!)
Then its my Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture perfume.
Going down, Its Australis Mineral Inject lipgloss in Lambarda (weird name!! Should be candy or something lol)
And below that is the Mac Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait - Friken love the stuff!!!
Over the last few months Ive been looking for slighty cheaper alternatives to the Mac StudioFix I use. Based on Reviews, It was either a toss up between Loreal Infallible foundation and Revlon Colorstay. Ive never been a fan of Revlon (despite their excellent reputation) so I decided to go with Loreal.
Over the past few weeks Ive been into Priceline Numerous times and tried the testers to match my colour. The colouyrs confuse me so much!! They dont really go from light to dark, its like light, medium, light, dark, BLAH!! Anyways settled on Nude Beige 605.
I put off purchasing the foundation because it was expensive and I decided to wait for a promotion.
And today was my lucky day!! They had a buy 2, get 3rd product free.
So I purchased the Nude Beige 605 foundation, then went for the powder, noticed there was no 605 in powder, so I got the lightest one available - 662 Natural Buff.
Im a tad concerned the colours may be too dark. But I fake tan in Summer heaps so its no biggy. I also purchased the Loreal Telescopic mascara in Carbon Black!!! My HG Mascara :)

Randon Much?

Pretty damn random!!!!
Back 2 Mac
Ive finally done it!! Brought back 6 empty/unused products to MAC and got myself a free lippie :) Got it in Myth. I really, really wanted it in Hue after hearing such great things about the colour on blogger, but its only sold at "pro" stores.. DOdgy! Oh wells. This colour is gorgeous. Wore it today with my Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait over the top.

Eye of the Day
Im really not that into colours. So here's just a look using Mac Phloof! and Inglot Pearl 161. My lashes dont have my usual Loreal Telescopic, they have Bourjois Volume Glamour, I definitely prefer my Loreal!!! Rimmed both top and bottom lash lines in MOdelCo Eyeliner :)
The colour is far more intense but its so hard getting it to come up right on my $100 camera!!
Nawww!!
This is my youngest cat Noonie!! I know, I know. Noonie can mean something "dirty". But if you keep your head outta the gutter its kinda cute name? .. Maybe?? ..
