MAC haul!!!

So yesterday I went to return my Bare necessity dazzle glass + pretty please lip stick @ my MAC store cuz the combo did nothing but wash me out!
I dunno what the MA (or I) was thinking cuz i literally walked around the mall & all the way home looking like a dead person... not a good look for anybody! lol
I think it's pretty much all the lipstick's fault.. On the MAC website pretty please is described as a 'pearled PALE pink'.. yeah imagine how that's like on someone like me that's already fair!
I swear it's the lighting inside MAC (or all other cosmetics stores, clothin stores, etc) that makes everything you put on look good.....

I felt pretty good after saving myself about $40 so I decided to go to the The Bay (similar to Macy's) just to take a look at random things....
BIG MISTAKE (for my wallet lol) I wandered off to the MAC counter and ended up getting 2 dazzle glass & lip stick combos, 1 powder blush & 1 grand duo blush!!! EEK!
I blame the MA who was way too nice and wayy too helpful!! This girl is amazing at picking out lip color combos!! Everything she picked out for me I LOVED! And she's super honest so that if she doesn't like something she won't even let me finish putting it on! LOL I LOVE HER!!!!! I'll always go back to that MAC counter to get my stuff cuz i find the MAs at counters seems to have more time for their customers :)

I personally don't find dazzle glasses to be that exciting on its own especially since I have pigmented lips and they show up exactly the same - sheer gloss w/ lots of glitters!!!
And I'm not a big fan of lipsticks cuz i find them too dull looking on their own even the luster/satin ones.
So how did I end up with 2 DGs and 2 lipsticks you may ask??
Although they are quite plain when used alone but they become absolutely amazing when used together!!!!
The lipstick underneath gives my lips the right flush of color and it also works to diminish some of the glittery effect from the dazzle glass.
The end result is still very glossy and "dazzling" but minus the disco ball look on the lips where all u see is glitter (too much silver glitters can also wash me out!)
