MAC: Bloggers' Obsessions

MAC: Bloggers' Obsessions are now available on maccosmetics.com

free ship code: BLOGS

I think that it's amazing that MAC is recognizing bloggers' (us) and have made a collection in our honor! If we want MAC and other major cosmetic retailers to value our contribution to spreading the word for new collection and existing products, we should also contribute and grab something from this collection. I probably will not buy everything from this collection, but I do plan on picking up a thing or two. Still haven't decided what I'll be getting yet...any opinions?

Have a great day!

Sephora & Hautelook Haul: Korres

One of my first purchases from Korres was their lip butter in mango. It has an amazing consistency, is very moisturizing, and with a slight touch of color. It can also double as a cheek tint, how cool is that? On my next visit to Sephora I decided to pick up another lip butter glaze in jasmine, but this time in a tube. I actually like that one better. It's easier to use, especially since I'm a bit of a germ freak.

Then one day on Hautelook, I saw that Korres had this cute little set. Since I had such luck with my first two lip butters, I decided to pick it up. I also picked up the lip scrub in a tube.

The cute bag canvas bag came filled with some great goodies! There was this beautiful white eyeshadow that would be good for a brow highlight. A lovely nude lipstick, a mascara, a lip gloss, as well as a eyeliner. I actually haven't had a chance to use these items, but I'm looking forward to it.

As for the lip scrub, I have used it and it actually disappointed me. I'll talk about that in another review. My lips are crazy dry and I was hoping that this product would help this annoying problem.

One of the things that I like about this brand is that their products are natural and good for you. I don't feel guilty using their lip butter, since they are petroleum free. On top of that, they smell soooo good!

Besides the lip scrub, I have been very happy with my Korres products. One of the things I want to try in the future is their skincare. I've heard from various gurus that it's pretty good. Have any things from Korres that you love?

Honeymoon Pics: Dominican Republic!

This was the view from the fourth floor where our hotel room was. We stayed at an amazing resort . Did I mention it was adult only? It was beautiful, and relaxing.

All the meals and drinks were included. Dessert anyone? The beautiful beach right in front of our hotel. Just a short walk and I was in paradise! I'm so glad we took this trip, it doesn't matter that we've been married for two years! We deserved it. Hope you guys had a great weekend!

Just a couple....

Vacation Makeup: What to bring?

As some of you may know, my husband and I just came back from out honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. It was wonderful! We've been married a couple of years but could not go on out honeymoon because we were planning a huge move as well as starting up our family business. Needless to say, it was much needed.

I wanted to take some makeup on the trip, but I knew for the most part that I would be relaxing on the beach. I didn't want to have to worry about my makeup. Each night we had a great dinner and of course we would clean up and dress up. That's when I really used my makeup. This is what I brought with me:

Face:

MAC Prep and Prime

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

MUFE High Definition Powder

Physician's Formula Bronze Booster in medium to dark

Eyes:

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow in Beach Honey

Physician Formula Shimmer Strips for Brown Eyes

Boscia Lavender Blotting Linens

Eve Pearl Medium/Tan Salmon Concealer

MUFE Aqua Eyes in 10L & 0L (Black & Bronze)

24/7 Eyeliners in Rockstar & Electric

Cheeks:

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful

MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush

Lips:

Jack Black Lip Balm in Natural Mint & Lemon and Chamomile

Revlon Lipgloss in Coral Reef & Pink Pop

MAC Lipgelee in Budding Blossom

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Just Superb

Body:

The Body Shop in Coconut

Yes to Carrots Body Butter

Wow, that looks like alot of stuff, but as you can see I fit in all in this cute pink leopard bag that I picked up from Forever 21. Most of the items were travel sized or minis so it didn't take up much space in my carry on bag. My two body butters were not in my makeup bag, I just threw them in my carry on bag. It was perfect since you know how dehydrated your skin gets on those flights.

What do you like to take to the beach?
