MAC's Sugar Sweet Collection

Hello peoples.....
So Mac's sugarsweet collection came out this month, and I got my order today. Thankfully, I only used standard mail, and I didn't have to sign for it, so they just left it at my door. ^^

I got both nail polishes, Peppermint patti, and Seasonal Peach. Both are really really pretty. I would also like to mention that, the collection wasn't out for very long, and the peppermint patti nailpolish is already sold out. I'm glad that I ordered it when I did.

I got two eyeshadow's. Aquavert, the green one, and Sugarshot, the highlight coloured one. Both are really pretty, and I like 'em.

I got one of the shade sticks in lemon chiffon, it's really nice, very smooth and pearly, which I like. ^^

And I got one of the lipglasses, which was the only one I actually liked which is Triple-Yum. I'm not a really big fan of pale pink on my lips, my lips are a little to dark to actually pull it off, so it never looks right. I prefer brown tones to be honest. 

But yeah I'm very happy with the products I bought and I recommend it to anyone. You know it's very odd how quickly I became a mac addict. Now hardly a collection goes by that I dont want at least one thing from. It's horrible really.

BUT, the new collections are coming up. Style Warrior, in which I wanna get two of the lip glasses because one's golden yellow and one's pale peach, which I like, and the nail polishes of course, cause they're kinda my thing now. I blame Sarah (FoundOnFilm) she had to make that video with the purple nail polish from the Dame Edna collection. And then the Hello Kitty collection with the three nail polishes. Jeez! 

I'll be moving soon too, and so I'll be saving money to be spending even more on Mac. Sickening really LOL! 

So yeah, if you have gotten anything from the SugarSweet collection, lemme know what you got, what you like, and anything you think I shoulda got. ^^ 

Love you alls!!

New Products and update

Greetings peoples!
So I really haven't posted in a really long time, not for any real reason other than the fact that I haven't really been adding to my make up collection lately. After getting the stuff from the Hello Kitty collection, that's pretty much all the special collection mac stuff I want for awhile. I saw a video by SephoraJunkie on youtube, about the Kitty Koture collection. Two lip glosses, and three powders in a silver compact with crystals. The compacts are 90.00 a piece!! That is ridiculous! I'm so glad I decided not to get anything from that one. It's pretty, and maybe I'm not as big of a die hard Hello Kitty fan as perhaps some other people, and that's fine, I got what I wanted, and that's all that matters.

So new collections are the Sugar Sweet collection, the lipglasses look pretty, I saw pictures, I can't remember where, in a video on youtube I think from Cazy500. Not entirely sure that I want to go adding to my "special collection" stuff before I start getting the basics....
So I'm taking suggestions. Eyeshadows, and lipglasses as I'm not a real fan of lipsticks, to add to my collection. 
I know that I want Brule, Wedge, Carbon, Sushi Flower, Shroom, Slate, and Smut. LOL, just because of it's name..lol Smut... I know i'm a dork. But yah, if anyone wants to add their favorite to my list of needs, please do so. :)  

At any rate, in make up news, I've actually stopped wearing some for awhile. I know shocking right?!? However, I know for a fact that in order to look good, you have to start from the basics, and work from the ground up. 
Now as everyone knows, foundation can cover pigmentation, but not texture, and since the texture of my skin has been horrible lately, I thought that I'd let it breathe and just moisturize it until it clears up. 

Although I will say that lately, since I'm not using foundation, I have been working on my "Cutting the Crease" technique. And I've been using the Noire palette by Stila. It's the one I mentioned in my last post I think. The colours are really nice, and I've been using my vanilla pigment with it. Using vanilla as a highlight, the pink colour on my lids, and the sky / china blue as the "crease cutting" colour. I'm just working on my creative side right now. 
I need to get fix+ as well to use as a mixing medium to work with it in another way other than applying dry shadow yah know? 
I'm really getting into this whole pigment thing. I like them, and their texture, and I think that pigments and shadows and brushes are going to be my weaknesses when it comes to Mac. lol Horrible I know.
Anyways, that is all I think. I hope you all have enjoyed your past couple of weeks, meanwhile I am going to end this, go make my italian mac n cheese and chikken strips with honey for dinner. Then start my laundry. Enjoy what's left of your weekend, and I hope the coming week is nice to you all.
To all you UKers, enjoy the Hello Kitty collection, hopefully as much as I did. <3
