Haul: MAC To The Beach Collection & Look

I went to the MAC boutique on Montague street for the preview of the To The Beach Collection, which was sponsored by Ciroq.  It started at 7pm.  They had us standing outside in the rain until a few minutes after 7pm.  It was extremely packed, so I was in and out.  I swatched, made my purchase & bounced.

This collection debuts in-store on May 27th, 2010 in the U.S./Canada. 

 I did a video haul CLICK HERE to watch.

My NYX Bundle of Joy Sale Haul (Picture Heavy)

On April 22,2010 I ordered four of the bundles from the NYX Bundle of Joy Sale (ended May 3, 2010).  I really wouldn’t have suggested this sale to “regular” people.  It’s a lot of stuff.  If you are not an MUA, you really do not need all of that makeup.  Anyway, so today all of my stuff came!!!  I was excited.  I love to received packages (hint if you ever want to get me something lol).

Here’s what I got…. It’s A LOT!

I now have a total of 47 lipsticks which I will de-pot and put into a palette. Of course I will show you the end result if you’re interested.

NOTW: OPI’s Who The Shrek Are You & New Polishes Bought

I went to Ricky’s yesterday to pick up some stuff for my kit (q-tips & Ben Nye’s Final Seal).  Low & behold, Ricky’s had the whole OPI Shrek collection.  I contemplated getting the entire collection since the colors are nice. Although the store clerks offer to give me a good discount on all of the polishes if I bought them all was tempting, I figured it would be a waste since I already own colors similar or are the same as the ones in this new collection. I ended up buying just one, which he still gave me a discount on.

Here’s what Who the Shrek Are You looks like

What it looks like on my hands

No Flash

It’s a nice color. I don’t like the consistency of the polish. It’s too streaky when applying I had to use 3 coats when I polished my nails.

I also picked up these polishes from this nail supply wholesaler (NailMax International 6000 Fort Hamilton & 60th st brooklyn) by my job.  Essie is $4 & OPI is $6
