Weekend Haul


I know I have been missing in action for a few days, so I apologize for the brief hiatus honey bees. It's good to be home after a long weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada! A few of my girlfriends decided to road trip out to Vegas for a birthday and of course, no road trip is ever complete without a stop at the Cosmetic Company Store! For all of you unfamiliar with CCO's, they are an outlet store for cosmetics (owned by Estee Lauder) and have amazing brands like Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, Clinique and even MAC marked below retail price. And if you are lucky enough, you can catch up on buying discontinued items there and even items from a collection  you may have missed. I stopped at the CCO at the stateline of California and Nevada and picked up a MAC blush from the Liberty of London line called Prim and Proper. It's a shimmery nude blush and one of the line's more popular products. I also got a Creamsheen glass from MAC called Ever So Rich, which is a milky pink gloss, for only $12.50! And of course, I had to get the large tube of DUO eyelash glue. It usually sells for around $8.00 for the small tube, but I was lucky enough to get the big tube for $6.50.

Also, the MAC order my boyfriend sent to me finally came in the mail! I was the lucky recipient of the Cruella Beauty powder in Her Own Devices and a Cruella red lipstick in Heartless. I really love the beauty powders, that go on more sheer than a blush, and particularly Her Own Devices. As a girl with a medium/dark complexion I was afraid that this would go on too light on me, but used as a high lighter and all over shimmer, I'm in love with this beauty powder! Swatched below is Heartless lipstick and Ever So Rich lip gloss.

  8. I've never tried Cremesheen glasses because I'm not really a fan of sheer glosses but I hear that they feel really nice on your lips and I'm always tempted because they look so pretty. What do you think? Are they worth it?
