MAC Semi Precious Collection

Hi Everyone!! Here's my purchases from MAC's new collection... Every year I look forward to the collection that is released after July 4th weekend, the collection tends to have the release of new MSF's and new brushes! Those are 2 of my favorite things to purchase from MAC, wouldn't you agree? So needless to say I am happy with my purchases thus far. I still have to test drive the new items and give y'all some feedback on colour payoff, as well as wear time and the quality of the brushes. I have heard really good things about the brushes, so I am excited to get them washed and cleaned, so I can get to testing them out! Check out the swatches below (click the pic to enlarge) Items I purchased: *Feeling Flush Blush *Warmth of Coral Blush *Semi Precious Rose Quartz MSF *Semi Precious Pearl MSF *Semi Precious Goldstone MSF *Semi Precious Crystal Pink MSF *Rare Find Mineralize Eyeshadow *Golden Gaze Mineralize Eyeshadow *Smoked Ruby Mineralize Eyeshadow *Faux Gold Mineralize Eyeshadow *Brushes: 128, 179, 234, and 235

What did y'all end up getting from this collection?

X+O,

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....
