MAC Haul

A little late to post this one... oops. I had ordered all three pigments from Alice+Olivia, but soon after I got a "Backorder" notice from MAC. Gurrr. It was said to ship in 2 weeks... I trusted them. BIG mistake. Almost 2 weeks later, I got an email saying it was canceled! Supposedly Later. is to be re-released this Fall/Winter, I just hope it's full size.

Nails

My toes needed re-painted (I had the same color on for 3 weeks!), so I decided to try out a new Essie polish I got a while back. They were Buy 2 get 1 Free at Ulta, so I picked up Peach Daiquiri, Playa del Platinum & Matte About You Top Coat. I'm not sure if was because my A/C was on (it's summer!) or what, but the application of Peach Daiquiri (on my toes) wasn't very fun... I have noticed polish drying fast and gooping up in the bottle when my ceiling fan was running, so I made sure that was off, so that's why I wonder if it was because of the A/C. It would get stringy coming out of the bottle and seemed thick. I hate painting my toes anyways, awkward angles, especially my big toes! My right one is the worse, I swear I re-did it 3 times! After I had on my topcoat, I decided to add some flowers - I always seem to not think about nail art until my topcoat is on. So I used Zoya Raven & Playa del Platinum for some flowers, with a couple of rhinestones.

On my fingers I switched things up a bit. Now, I'm not sure the combo goes together that well - but it was a good intention! I started off by applying a base coat to the tips of my nails, followed by 2 coats of Playa del Platinum. I then used a nail brush and Acetone to remove the excess for a french tip. I then applied the base coat to the rest of the nail followed by 1 coat of Zoya Bailey. I then put a regular top coat over Bailey and Matte About You over Playa del Platinum. Yea, it looks a tiny bit funny, hehe!



Oops, I forgot to clean-up my right toe before the pic! It's all better now!

MUFE & NARS Hauls

Due to a nice summer tan I'm getting (except on my neck, gurrr), I was in need of some darker foundations. I was using MAC's Studio Sculpt in NC25, which is a great match, however, I think it was aggravating my skin. :-(

Of course I couldn't just order foundation! I wanted to try the new MUFE Aqua Creams, which sadly they were out of #13 & 15. Also, I happened to notice NARS now sells pumps for Sheer Glow!!! YIPPIE!!! I'd been making the non-pump bottle work, but it's too easy to contaminate it, so a pump is a great add-on.

So here's what I got.


Mat Velvet+ in #30, Aqua Creams in #1, 2 & 3 and Aqua Eyes Liner in 21L


 Smoke & Diamonds next to #2 - WOW!


Primer w/ SPF 20, Sheer Glow in Fiji, Multiple Tint in Cadaques, 2 Pumps, Eyeshadow Base & Violetta Eye Shadow Duo
