Sephora: weekly special: tokidoki

Hi Everyone! Here is one of Sephora's weekly specials...tokidoki lip glosses are on sale for $7, which is more than half off (reg. price $15)!! 'Bullets' seems like it would be a very pretty berry color. So if you've been putting off trying this brand, now is the perfect time to indulge :)

MAC: Fashion Flower Haul

Hi Dolls! I was excited about the release of this collection, as it had the beauty powder I have been wanting for sometime: Alpha Girl. I didn't want to shell out big bucks to pick it up on Ebay, so now after much waiting it is FINALLY mine! :) I was also looking forward to trying out the new lipstick Growing Trend (mid tone taupe nude), as it is right up my alley! I am absolutely obsessed with all nudes, as well as the amplified creme finishes! So this was a winner in my eyes! I did not pick up the Ever Hip lipstick this time, since I got it when it was released during the Liberty of London collection. I was so excited to get it when it was first released, but then I didn't end up using it much... The Light Sunshine beauty powder & Ground Cover eyeshadow seem OK, not anything that I would say you need to run out and get. And as for the Lucky Green eyeshadow it is permanent...so I wouldn't say you need to rush and pick it up by any means.

So what did I pick up?

Ground cover Eyeshadow
Lucky Green Eyeshadow (permanent; already had it in my stash)
Alpha Girl BP
Light Sunshine BP
Fashion Flower Lipgelee
Growing Trend Lipstick
Ever Hip Lipstick (from L.O.L. collection)

Recommendations: Alpha Girl BP, Growing Trend and Ever Hip Lipstick Passes: Light Sunshine BP, Ground Cover Eyeshadow

What did y'all end up getting? What were your 'hit and misses'?

x+o,

MAC Ever Hip Lipstick, YOU ARE MINE!!

Hello lovely readers!

For the past couple of days I've seen sick as a dog. The majority of my time has been spent sleeping, watching tv, or internet shopping. I was on the MAC website getting my weekly fix, and I decided to pick up a couple of items from the Fashion Flower collection. The one lipstick that I wanted, Ever Hip, was already sold out!

Ever Hip lipstick had already been released with the Liberty of London collection and was making it's way back to us through this collection.

So, even though I was sick, I picked my butt up this morning and headed to my local MAC counter. This baby is now mine!

To see swatches, check out this post HERE.

I really love these new paper bags they have started to use. And here she is, Ever Hip! A beautiful coral color with a creamsheen finish. I can't wait till I feel better and actually put this baby on!

Hope every one is having a great day!
