Mini MAC Haul

So like everyone else, I was super eager to get my hands on MAC's To The Beach Collection. I figured it would all be sold out in person, so I ordered two lippies online. (Beachbound & Lazy Day) Then went to my local MAC and they still had lots loot left. I decided to just get a little bit since I already ordered some offline.

Above is Smashing lipglass, Shimmermoss eyeshadow (A lovely blue - yes, I adore blue eyeshadow. It's my 80s guilty pleasure), and, the more traditional MAC fave - Saint Germain amplified lipstick.

I'll try and do some faces and looks this week or weekend.

I'm envioius of anyone who got their hands on the seahorse highlighter. It's so beautiful - I'd almost be scared to use it. It was sold out at the store and I couldn't find it on the Canadian website.

I can't wait to get my lipsticks in the mail.

Also waiting on my Sigma makeup brush set I ordered.

Let me know what you picked up from this line, or if it even caught your fancy.

OOTD - Sweetheart & Leggings

Top Retro- Doll

I hope everyone is having great weekend so far. I'm just trying to stay warm and dry as the weather here is not very nice.

I'm dying to get out and check MAC's To The Beach line before it's all sold out, but so much to do. (somehow I fit in blogging though.) Just heading to the gym now. Seeing Sex and the City 2 tonight which I can't wait for!

Thanks for reading.



p.s. my daytime computer still has that funny glitch where I can't comment on anyone's blog unless their comments are in the pop up box. Sorry if you haven't heard from me in awhile! I'll try my best to comment on my other computer in the evenings.

Crosses & Baths & Chocolates, Oh My

Bonjour Poupees

(Someone asked me what a Poupee was the other day - it's French for doll, just w/o correct pronunciation cause I don't know how to do that on blogger)..

SO

I am Happy to announce I finally found not one, but two of the beautiful rosaries I've been coveting..

Ok, so not TRUE blue rosaries, but close enough, right? I got these beauts at F21.

Sorry for the crappo lighting ... it was late.

Also this week .. my monthly LUSH haul ... (need to go more often and get more when I do!)





It's sooo rainy and cold here today, and I can't wait to have a bath tonight and just read my book.

And last but not least ...

My sis came home from Belgium today (we picked her up from the airport) and brought me back these to die for authentic chocos ... OMG I love chocolate .. thinking of making a trip to Belgium myself and developing my own stock pile ...

FOTD - Glamour Model

The Glamour model look is all about high arch eyebrows, voluminous hair, beautiful thick lashes, and lots of beautiful natural light to illuminate skin. Throw in a low cut top to fully stay true to the style =)

As you can see, I may need to catch my face tan up to my body tan, but hopefully you get the idea=)

Products Used:

1. DIOR 970 Stylish Move palette (white shadow on brow bones and inner corners)

2.SEPHORA bronzer in Bora Bora

3.MAC Studio Fix Foundation N5

4.MAC Moisturecover concealer NW20

5.DIORSHOW Extase Mascara. BEST STUFF EVER. If never used, get thee to the nearest Sephora and buy ASAP. You have my WORD that you will not be disappointed.

6.L.A. GIRL Mark My Eyes Liquid eyeliner (a giant sharpie for the eyes)

7.Stila Silk Shimmer Gloss. I honestly don't know the actual name of this shade. I've looked and looked, but basically all you need is a deep cool pink with a little sheen to it to get the same look.

8.SEPHORA Lipliner in Candid Candy (baby pink)

9.MAYBELLENE Define A Brow Brow Pencil in Medium Brown. (Great for giving you high arches - blends beautifully)

10. SEPHORA eyeliner in Silver Green (on bottom lid)

ALSO....

FOR CHEEKS. Along with bronzer I swept a coral on apples of cheeks from this Claires makeup palette:

Used this army green on my lids and it blended beautifully to simply enhance the own green of my eyes. (Same palette)

If you are looking for a more subdued look, simply downgrade your high sheen gloss for a nude.

I hope you enjoyed my little Glamour shoot as much I enjoyed putting it together for you.=)

Have a great rest of the weekend.

Shopping Trip

Mini Mall Haul:

MAC Select Moisturecover concealer NW20, CAKE Milk Made Shower Cream, CLARINS Self Tanning Instant Gelee, ALDO necklace, ALDO ring, MAYBELENE brow pencil. I decided to try a MAC concealer. I've been wearing their Studio Fix foundation for years, but for some reason never used their concealers. I've been using Benefit Erase Paste, but decided to switch it up for a little while. I'll let you know how it goes.

OMG you HAVE to smell this. I wish I could include a scent swatch on my blog=) I was at Sephora today and happened upon the CAKE line which I usually think is way overpriced. I picked this up and gave it a non chalant sniff however, and HAD to get it. I can't wait to use it in my bath tonight.

I've been using CLARINS self tanning gelee for awhile now, and I love it. It doesn't streak at all, and the color is so natural and believable.

I saw this flower ring at ALDO for $7 today and had to snatch it up. It's big and gaudy, and borderline tacky, but I LOVE it.

Have a great weekend, dolls.

Picnic In The Park

Seeing as how I'm not going anywhere this May long weekend, I want to at least spend as much time outside as I can. My amazing fiancee came up with the idea of having a picnic and I can't wait. But it has to be an authentic old fashioned picnic, with all of the trimmings.

*blanket to sit on

*blanket to snuggle under if it gets chilly

*a wicker picnic basket with:

- brie cheese and crackers

-jalapeno jelly to put on the crackers

-grapes

-shrimp with dipping sauce

-oysters

*A giant bottle of wine or champagne (or both)

*strawberries & cream (or chocolate sauce)

*an ipod with some soft romantic music

*a book for each of us to read

*a camera

I'm excited for this and will post pics of it. (Providing the weather holds out).

OOTD - Kim Hearts YELLOW

I love Yellow. It's such a happy color, and always puts me in a good mood. I initially wanted it to be my wedding color, but decided on pink and black instead.

I love YELLOW=)
