A romantic haul...

Hi Beauties!

Sorry for the late post on this haul! I actually picked these babies up about 2 weeks ago (the day after the collection's debut)!
I still had a few of those $10 off $50 cards left for use at the bay so I thought I can put them to good use before they expire (just another excuse to shop lol).

I already had a list in mind of what i wanted to pick up. The item that I was the most excited for was the Just a pinch gel blush. However after swatching the blush at the MAC counter I immediately changed my mind. Somehow the applied consistency and color reminded me so much of Benetint by benefit which I still have a whole 3/4 bottle + sample jar to go thru. However, the MAC gel blush is probably easier to use since its not so liquidy. I always had a hard time with any kind of cheek stain cuz i find them very difficult to apply. I can never get them to go on the desired areas and blending is such a pain in the bum area.

Here are the items that I picked up from the collection along with a few other items...















From left to right:

MAC creamsheen lipstick in Creme cup(looked EVERYWHERE for this!! it was the last one left at this MAC counter)
MAC eye shadow in:
Et tu, Bouquet?
Goldmine (the BF recommended this one LOL)
Swimming
MAC paint pot in bare study
MAC pigment in Mutiny

MAC creme cup lipstick on my lips:












With smile dazzle glass on top!













A benefit lipstick in candy store i found on clearance at the bay for $5.49 CAD!!
it's really really smooth despite all the glitters! makes me wanna get more lipsticks from them!
Beautiful coral pink shade w/ golden glitters!! reminds me of NARS orgasm :p












Finally, got this for my cousin at winners for 16.99!!! pretty sweet deal and the colors are actually quite pigmented!












An Urban Decay eyeliner I also found at winners for $3.99:










sorry for all the haul postings..... I promise to do some reviews, FOTDs, etc. when i get a chance to take a break from all the studying! :(

Bye bye for now!!!!
