A few MAC Goodies!

Hubby surprised me with some MAC goodies! He keeps a copy of my wish list in his phone.
I was very excited! Generally I stick with the Amplified formula lipsticks. One of my collegues suggested I try Fresh Brew (Lustre). She said it was more wearable than Viva Glam Gaga 2.

I was surprised to see that Tan Pigment has a dupe in my collection. L'Oreal HiP Loose Eyeshadow in TENACIOUS.

I cannot wait to play with these colors. Do you own any of these goodies? Are any of them on your wish list?

L'Oreal HiP Eyeshadow Duos - Depotted!

I depotted my L'Oreal HiP Eyeshadow Duos to an
Auraline Beauty Paper Palette



This palette holds fifteen 36mm pans. It is magnetized. I did not realize it was cardboard when I first bought it. I would have preferred a plastic palette. Perhaps I will upgrade eventually. I did not want this to go to waste.


This freed up an entire drawer! I'm thrilled about that!



The palette can fit Prestige eyeshadows.
It also is home to some of my irregularly shaped eyeshadow tins.

L'Oreal HiP Studio Secrets CRYSTAL Eyeshadow Duos

Just when I thought I was set with most of the L'Oreal HiP Duos, they decided to launch an additional product line. UGH!

People have been tweeting about this for at least a week now. I am NOT on twitter.

The photo shared is from ebay. Don't sleep on these.
In the fall, when they released the matte & 2nd Generation Metallics, I only was able to pick up one metallic duo. *tears* I do believe they were limited edition & gone now!

L'Oreal HiP Loose Eyeshadow Pigment Collection

I did not see these on the LorealParisUSA website. However, I still see them in stores. I purchased some of these on ebay and some during BOGO (Buy 1 Get 1 Free) sales at local drugstores.
I am missing only 2 that I'd like to add.
The white that reflects pink
as well as
the burgundy one. I probably don't need the burgundy one because it's rumored to be a dupe for MAC reflects blackened red, which I already own.
