Busy Bee!

So once again it has been absolutely forever since I wrote, and once again, I'm very sorry! The past few weeks have been crazy! I got a new job, which started off all the crazyness. I did a first interview on Monday the 21st of September, 2 hours after I got home, I was called to come in for a second interview the next dat. And so I went for the second interview and just after I got home from that they offered me the job! And I started on Thursday the 24th! It was insane! And since then I've been so busy and so tired that I sadly neglected my little blog!
So since I have been so busy, I haven't really had too much time to shop, but of course I bought myself just a little congratulations treat for getting this job! How could I not?! So I took myself to MAC and I picked up the beloved repromote of Feline Kohl Power! And I love it, its so creamy and the most gorgeous black ever. When my last Feline ran out, I was so sad, and getting a new one just about made my day! And if you weren't lucky enough to pick it up with the DSquared2 collection, fear not! It is being released again in December, the 26th to be exact, with the Love Lace Collection! And if you're like me and love the texture of the Kohl Power formulation, you'll be glad to know that two more shades, Raven and Sense of Style, are coming out at the same time. And I'm sure you all know and love www.temptalia.com, but if you don't know about it, please go check it out, you will love it! So much info, great reviews and tips...its a girly paradise in blog form! I've been drooling over all the new holiday collections from so many brands! And MAC Holiday 2009 is on top of my wishlist right now!
When I was at MAC scooping up my coveted Feline, I also decided to go ahead and pick up the 219 brush, which I have been wanting forever and ever. I haven't had the chance to use it just yet, but I'm excited to try it out!
So what collections are you looking forward to? Do the MAC upcoming MAC collections tickle your fancy? Do you own a 219 brush? Love it? Hate it? Let me know!

Surprise vacation!

Hi! Its been forever since I posted, and I missed it! First I got sick (boo strep throat!) and then my boyfriend and I went away for a few days. We went to the mountains and Lake Louise and some other crazy gorgeous places, and it was a total sneaky surprise that he planned! I loved it and I definitely miss being there. I don't think I've ever seen anything so gorgeous...the water was this amazing blue, and the hotel was fabulous and it was a well needed rest!
And now I'm back home and back to work and only a few days away from the Make Up Art Cosmetics collection from MAC! I'm definitely picking up the Photo Realism quad, a jar of Cocomotion, a couple of lipsticks and a liner or two! And maybe more, we shall have to wait and see. And when I do pick up my goodies, I will of course let you know what they are :-) What are your cravings, if any, from the new collection? Definitely let me know!
I've been feeling like doing some more clothes shopping lately as well. I'm really really picky about my clothes, I never wear pants or jeans, unless it is 100% absolutely unavoidable, even if its blizzarding out. Actually I don't even own a pair of jeans right now. I really prefer skirts and dresses and cutesy things like that and so I think I may need to hit up Anthropologie or something pretty soon! Hopefully I can turn my MAC shopping day in a week or so into a clothing day too? I hope so!
So let me know what you guys are craving or loving right now, and stay gorgeous everybody

What a lovely day!

Today turned out to be way better than I thought it would! I knew it would be fun since I was planning on meeting up with my sister, but it got even better! First of all, I got a call letting me know that I got a new job I was hoping for, which made me SO happy! And after that, it turned out that my sister needed to meet up a little later, dinner instead of lunch, and that she wanted to stop by MAC first! So I ended up back at my favorite place, and of course I had to buy myself a little reward for the new job! I ended up picking up Hand-Finish blush from the Colour Craft collection, and I really love it. Its a really pretty, pale pink with gorgeous gold running thorugh it, and it works really nicely on my pale, pale skin. I think girls with darker complexions would probably want to go with one of the more pigmented options, but for me, it works really nicely!

Now I'm just super super excited about starting work on Wednesday! Well, and a bit nervous. New jobs have a very "first day of school" type of feeling for me, excited and apprehensive at the same time. More excited really. Plus it means picking out cute work outfits! Gotta make a great impression!

And now I'm off to play with all the makeup I've picked up over the past week! Stay gorgeous everyone!

Update!

OK, so I thought I would really really quickly update. I just ordered the Smooth Merge MSF from MAC! I'm so excited for it to get here. I know I have four or so MAC stores that I go to all the time, so I could very easily have just gone to the mall and picked it up, but I am a HUGE sucker for getting things in the mail, plus there was free shipping. So I'm so happy, and maybe now I can try and go to bed without agonizing over my choice!

Hello world!

Wow, ok. So this is my first blog ever, and I really have no idea what I'm doing yet. That is just fine though, because I know its going to be tons of fun! I love reading other people's blogs, especially ones about beauty, fashion, makeup and all that girly stuff. So I figured, why not try it out myself? My plan is to just talk about my shopping excursions, things I'm loving, and things at the top of my want list. I think all the gorgeous goodies out there, like pretty lipglosses or shoes, are some of the best things about being a girl!

So lets jump right into it then! Today was fun for sure, in a very makeup related way. I've just recently gotten really into MAC makeup. I've always liked using their products, but in the last maybe 4 months, I've become one of those girls who crave and covet and wait impatiently for collections to come out. Probably around the same time was when I stumbled across the amazing beauty community on Youtube! I love so many of those girls, and they are all so gorgeous!
So anyway, today my boyfriend and I went to MAC and I was treated to a mini shopping spree! I picked out five eyeshadows (Satin Taupe, All That Glitters, Mulch, Espresso and Amber Lights in case you were curious), a Paint Pot in Rubenesque (gorgeous!!) and the 226 brush, which I have been excited to pick up since I heard it was being repromoted with Colour Craft!
I absolutely love the girls at the MAC store I go to the most often and I think it is such a great thing to have really helpful people in cosmetics stores. And they're totally honest, which is awesome too. I'd much rather have someone tell me that a foundation makes me look too orangey than to have them let me just pick it myself and wander out looking like an Ooompa Loompa!

Anyway, that is all for now, just a little bit of post-shopping day happiness! But I'm excited for when I update next! Stay gorgeous everyone!
