MAC Pro Order!!!

Yay! My MAC Pro order came in the mail!!! I am so stoked, it only took two days to get here and it was free shipping! When you live here, free shipping is like a godsend!

I haven't had a chance to test anything yet because it just came in today, but I did do some swatches. Enjoy!


I got three Cremesheen Glasses from the Too Fabulous collection and one Dazzleglass (I love dazzleglasses ^_^)...


Boy Bait, Just Superb, Fashion Scoop, and Local Colour

These lipglosses are actually pretty sheer. I had to pile on quite a bit to be able to show the color, and even then it's hard to see. They are sooo pretty! Of course, I layer lipglosses and lipsticks like crazy, so I would never wear these just on their own. I actually don't recommend wearing them on their own unless you want a glossy sheer look. If you want some color on your lips, I would layer any one of these with a nice matte lipstick.

Next, I got some Pro pigments!!...


Heritage Rouge, Deep Purple, Copperbeam, Deep Brown, Vintage Gold


Heritage Rouge, Deep Purple


Copperbeam, Deep Brown, Vintage Gold

Surprisingly, Heritage Rouge and Copperbeam look pretty similar on my skin tone....Deep purple turned out nicer than I expected and Vintage Gold turned out more of a bronze color....Now Deep Brown looked super nice online and I thought it would make a nice addition to my matte colors, but it looks like a doo-doo brown.....I think if I use it with some type of eye shadow, it won't look so bad. I love neutrals, but I draw the line at something that can pass for a doo-doo color....

Last, but not least, the miscellaneous items!!!! My highly sought after MAC Brush Belt! Yay!! I was sooo lusting after this for years! I really did not know you could buy one online until last Christmas...


These are close-ups of the Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone, Black Chromaline, and Gel Mixing Medium

Hopefully, the Refined Zone will work, it's supposed to reduce pores by like 37%? We'll see....

I read online that the Chromaline might work better than Fluidline, so I'm going to give that a shot. Normally the black is sold out fast, so it must work good.

The mixing medium is one recommended for pigments and glitters, so I am going to see how well it works out.

My ultimate goal is for makeup that lasts all day long that looks just as fresh and when you first put it on. So far, I have achieved that with all the products I use on a daily basis. MAC products are one of the few brands that will stay on all day, no matter what. I hope the mixing medium will intensify the pigments and adhere pigments and glitters to the skin for maximum staying power.

I hope you guys enjoyed this "haul" post! Please excuse my hairy arm in the pictures, it's my genes...I cannot help that...
