So I’ve been sick the past week and not really up to wearing makeup or trying anything worth posting. Luckily it just turned out to be a cold, not the flu like I was worried *whew*
Got my Sephora gift on my birthday!
I must say, this was nicer than last year’s, which was a body wash I couldn’t use due to an ingredient allergy.
Gift box included 3 of Sephora Brand Super Shimmer Lip Gloss in Bronzed Beauty, Rosy Glow, and Precious Pink. They’re really nice mini tubes. My first impression is that it is a rather thick formula and has a smell that I can’t quite put my finger on. It kind of reminded me a “play makeup” that is sold to little girls for dress up. !? Because I was still sick I haven’t really used them or seen what they looked like worn.
I still like the gift, as it feels like I got so much more than a tiny bottle of lotion or body wash like previous years! And hey, who can’t find a reason to like free stuff, right? If anything, they will be nice to toss in my purse.
While at the mall on my birthday, I had the chance to check out MAC’s Magic, Mirth, and Mischief holiday collection which was released that day. I am not one for gifty type sets, so most of it does not interest me… HOWEVER… mineralize eyeshadows!!! <3 I have my eye on Blue Sorcery, Devil-May-Care, and It’s A Miracle. I’ve seen some swatches, and they’re gorgeous. I love the payoff of MES, I just think I don’t go for them because they don’t fit in normal palettes (I am such a palette freak).
Last piece of news… my MAC Pro application got accepted!!!!!! I called and checked on my birthday and received the good news. And my credit card has been charged, so now it’s just waiting time for the card to show up. I’ve been on a MAC buying freeze until I had my card, so I can’t wait! I am planning on a trip to MAC Pro in NYC as I need several pro products that I can’t get locally. I applied as a photographer, so my discount is 30% versus the 40% that makeup artists get.
