Thursday’s Mail

My Mail today was pretty fun! I received several gift certificates for my birthday and I used some  of them this week.

The first was for MAC. I took advantage of MAC’s free overnight shipping and placed an order.

I got:
Stars n’ Rockets – purple with pink pearl (veluxe pearl)(eye shadow)
Silver Ring – grey with silver sheen (veluxe pearl)(eye shadow)
Sushi Flower – pinky-coral with pink shimmer (satin)(eye shadow)
Hot Tahiti – soft reddish-coral (glaze)(lipstick)
Summerfruit – pale coral(creme lipliner)

This actually prompted me to swatch some of my MAC colllection.

And if you want to see things up close, you can look at this big image.
Yes, I’ve hit pan on several of these.

One of the things I’ve been very happy with is that since I started using eye shadow primer, I get much better color payoff from shadows. Some colors, in the past, I found very hard to work with, but primer has made things easier.

Next, I was given some gift certificates to Aromaleigh. This is what I bought with one of them :)

I also made a purchase at One Hand Washes The Other. Becca is awesome and she ships super fast!

I picked up Pink Lady: (compare to Aquolina’s Pink Sugar) a scent which evokes sensuality, gentleness, and passion. It has notes of pink cotton candy, sweet lemon drops, raspberries, fig leaves, caramel, Sicilian orange, Barbe-a-Papa, Lily of the Valley, and powdery vanilla musk. Playful, mischievous, romantic.

and Ariane: a generously pigmented silver, Ariane shifts from silver to pink in the right lighting, and an occasional flash of green may be detected as well!

I was sent a Youthful Trends Caffeinated Makeup Primer to try out, which I will be reviewing.

I also was sent a fogless shower mirror, which I will be reviewing, too.
