Makeup Ban is over! First Haul post 6.6.10

Hello ladies! Hope everyone is having (or had) a wonderful weekend! I was lucky enough to spend the day Saturday shopping and picked up some great stuff! I'll show you what I got!

Here is a picture of the entire haul!

I have really been on a blush kick lately. Looking to expand my NARS blush collection and I also picked up a couple MAC blushes as well. I picked up:

NARS Penny Lane Cream blush. It is described as a soft peach. This is my first high end cream blush so I am very excited to try it.

I also picked up NARS Torrid blush which on the Sephora website is described as a coral with shimmer which is exactly what I was looking for and it is beautiful! I cannot wait to wear this.

From MAC I picked up Well Dressed (a YouTube cult favorite) and a repurchase of the very first MAC item I ever bought which is Buff blush. It is such a beautiful neutral color that everyone should own, seriously! If you don't have it- you must get it!! :)

I also picked up some MAC brush cleanser and the MAC 168 Contour brush. I wanted an angled brush for applying my blush or for contouring and that is exactly what this brush does!

And last but not least I picked up 4 pan eyeshadows to finish my palette! I picked up Soft Brown, Espresso, Cranberry and Paradisco. They are all such beautiful must have colors.

My next post will be showing you my completed MAC palette. It took me a few months to fill as I bought only 1 or 2 at a time usually. So I'm happy it's complete and already ready to start another one! Is that bad???

Bye for now!!!

So happy today!!! 6.3.10

So I have been in such a funk lately! I was on a (self imposed) makeup ban for the month of May. So no new makeup for me all last month...But luckily it's JUNE!!! That's the good news! The bad news is I'm broke! Since buying no makeup in May you'd think I was able to save a little, but no! I had holidays and birthdays this month and I ate a lot of meals out! Not good for the wallet or the waistline! So boo hoo.

I was whining to the hubby about this the other evening and then this morning when leaving for work my hubby left me a note with some cash! Whoa! The note said "MAC money! Love U" . All together "aaawwww how sweet!" I love him so much! Thanks babe, heading to MAC this weekend!

Now here's the part I need help with! What should I buy? Any suggestions?

After I go I will post my first haul! :)

Makeup ban May 2010

I am so depressed. How can I impose a makeup ban on myself the same month I start a blog??? HOW BORING!!! I have been completely uninspired to post much of anything! Since I don't have any new fun purchases to try out and talk about there hasn't been much to say! Maybe I'll jump on the OOTD band wagen! I am itching to check out the new MAC collection but I don't dare even go on the website! I have only a few more days (5 days to go). What exciting thing should I buy once my "BAN" has lifted? Any suggestions?
