[Note: OMG! So sorry! I'm actually posting this 2 days after I had originally intended to post this! I've just been so busy! You'll understand why as you read the rest of this post. New windows = big mess and lots of cleaning. There's also been some amazing sales so I've been out shopping. I'm also trying to find a way to store all my makeup, leave ideas in the comments. Since I wrote this post 2 days ago, I have bought the MAC Veluxe Pearl Fusion Eyeshadow Palette in Smokeluxe. I will be doing a post on that, hopefully today. If I like this palette, I may go and buy the Greenluxe. I should be back to posting every day again or at least every two days. Sorry about the random weeklong hiatus!!]
I'm sorry I haven't been posting a lot this week, as I mentioned in my last post we are getting new windows installed in my house. I got my room done yesterday so I had to clean up my room and prepare it. I also had to clear out furniture. There's a ton of dust on my stuff, even though we covered everything with plastic. So it's been clean-up time. I'm happy we did my room on the first day because it's out of the way. I'm also trying to reorganize my room because I tend to be a little on the messy side. I'm also researching ways of storing makeup collections. Mine isn't that big, but it's taking up more and more space so I need to do something about it before it gets beyond overwhelming.
On another note, I went shopping today and I checked out those new Veluxe Pearl Fusion Eyeshadows by MAC. Unfortunately I didn't buy any because I was seriously torn between Smokeluxe and Greenluxe. I wanted them both and at 48$CAD a pop I wasn't buying both. I'm going to do some serious thinking and buy one and I'll do a post on it when the time comes. You can leave me a comment too voting on which one you like out of the two. What I did try on, however, is a lipstick from their semi-new Mineralize Rich Lipstick. I tried on Divine Choice and I liked it. It's a darker pink than what I'm used to wearing. I figured I would think about it and perhaps pick it up next time I come back to get the Veluxe Pearl Fusion Eyeshadow. I was telling my mom when I got home and turns out she had a Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Dreaminess, which was the other shade I had wanted to try. So obviously I tried it on, liked it, and stole it from her. Heehee. We share our makeup and I tell her all the time she can use my palettes and stuff.
I also went shopping at Dynamite and bought a ton of stuff. They have a card where you get stamps each time you spend a certain amount of money. 50$ gets you 1 stamp and after 3 stamps, or 150$, you get a free bag (it's a nice bag), 20% off, 30% off, then finally 40% off. In case I didn't explain that right, you have to spend 150$ between each prize. These cards do expire and the current one expires on the 30th of this month, in a couple days, and I had to spend 150$ to get 40% off so I bought a lot of stuff!! They should be getting new cards soon for the next season. I forget how long the card is good for, I'll let you know when I get the new one.
I know the last post I did was purple smokey eyes. Well here's another version of what I did last time, still using the MAC eyeshadow shade Shadowy Lady as the inspiration. I used Shadowy Lady in my crease like last time, Shale on my lid and Seedy Pearl as a highlight. I really like how this turned out. I used an Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Rockstar to line the upper and water lash lines to give the eyes some definition and I tightlined with MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved. For the face, I did my usual routine and I used MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy and Too Faced Pink Leopard. I'm really falling in love with the blush and I'm slowly getting used to the new formulation of the bronzer. I really like my new MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Dreaminess. Thanks mom for that.
I know I'm still very behind on a lot. I'll catch up soon :)
