Mac Haul

'Tis the Season! I'm super excited for Christmas already even though Thanksgiving hasn't even arrived yet. Haha! So anywho, my boyfriend took me with him to the mall to pick up a game that he placed an order on and so I decided to wonder off to the MAC counter while he stood in line. My original plan was that I was just supposed to go pick up Mac's ProLongwear Lip Liner in "Absolutely It" but then I saw Mac's Lady Gaga set and had to buy it! - along with Mac's blush in "Peaches" and their Mineralized Skinfinish in "Medium Plus". I'm extremely happy because I missed out when the first Lady Gaga lipstick came out and since now that it's back with the second one I thought "Why not get it since it's only $38 plus it comes with a baggie!" Right?!? What a good deal and on top of that a portion of my purchase goes towards women and children who are suffering from Aids/HIV. ^_^

Aside from all of the chit-chatting here are some swatches from my purchase. I hope you all enjoy!

So I went shopping for some miscellaneous stuff and happened to stop by the makeup section -- like always. ^_^  I've heard a lot of pros and cons about this brand and thought that maybe I can try out some of the products I haven't heard/seen reviews on and see how it goes. So far I'm in LOVE with the lipstick and the nail polish. The eyeliner kind of smears off easily and the lip liner also kind of runs off my lips. Both the blush and bronzer aren't very pigmented, however, after two applications or so it does come out nice. Overall I would have to rate these products a 5 out of 10 because it is kind of pricey for just being drugstore makeup and depending on which product you decide to purchase it may or may not turn out to be the best. [ A bit of advice: Do some research on new products before you decide to purchase them because it will save you a bit of money -- especially if the product isn't good. ] 
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm in love with this nail polish. It's super pigmented and the color payoff is awsome! If you're wondering the name of the nail polish is called "Mr. Right" plus it comes with a cute heart ring that's also the same color as the nail polish.
