My newest acquisitions


Swatches (Tungsten Light without flash)


If you are searching for a less expensive alternative to MAC Dazzleglass, you may be interested in this product!

This lipgloss has a pleasant vanilla smell. My 12 year old daughter said is kind of smells like sugar cookies. It also has a sweet vanilla taste.

Walgreen's sells them for $5.99 each. CVS sells them for $6.99 each. CVS is having a BOGO this week. Buy 1 Get 1 half off.


I'd love to collect them all.
So far, I have 3.

MAC COLOUR-CRAFT Mini-Haulage





Mineralize Eye Shadow spun into a stylish pinwheel pattern of four shades to provide contrasting and complementary colours in a range of glitter, pearl or shimmering mineralized finishes. Limited edition.
2.2 g / 0.07 US OZ
US $19.50

I picked up the Mineralized Eye Shadow Quad in NATURAL FLARE!
It's a winner! A lil' on the chunky side, so beware if you are not a fan of the "glitterific".

NATURAL FLARE swatches!


Advantages over dupes:
- The MAC e/s has longer staying power than any of the dupes. However if you use a good base & perhaps even a mixing medium to foil the colors, you may have a similiar effect.
- It is really convenient to have all 4 colors in 1 compact container.
Minerals are great for our skin & protect us from the harmful rays of the sun.

Short on Cash?
Consider these dupes...


Messy but the color is pretty close! $1.00 each!
