MAC A Tartan Tale Haul

Um yeah, where do I start with this. I'm so freaking disappointed with this tragedy that is A Tartan Tale. I was so excited for the Venomous Villains collection and to have this after that is utterly ridiculous in my opinion. I was going to skip the collection all together but I'm a makeup hoarder so I had to get a few things. Only a few items stood out for me and most of them where re-promotes from previous MAC collections that I missed out on. If you want to see swatches and what not, keep on reading!

LOTD! Purple Dreams

Edit Post

Okay so excuse the hair, the beanie and the foundation on this one....I was having an off day! With that being said, I love the eyes and lips and wanted to share this look with you all. I hope you enjoy! Oh and sorry for the delay in getting these posts out. I have been stupid busy with these two online classes that I am taking and these shenanigan discussions that I have to post for them. I will try to do a better job of posting....sorry again! Keep on reading for details on this look.

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme Mini Haul

Edit Post

When I say mini, I mean it. I only hauled one of these little things because honestly I wanted to try it out the new formula before I hauled a bunch. So far I am really liking the formula. It's creamy without being too sticky and this one lasted about 3-4 hours on me before I noticed fading. My lip did peel a bit but I have seriously dry lips so I wasn't too surprised. I would recommend using a lip moisturizer before this product if you have the same problem with dry lips. Check out more information after the jump!

WTH with all these Samples!

Edit Post

So I love free stuff and every time I check out at Sephora, I pick my 3 little samples with joy. Now I have accumulated all these samples and am thinking to myself, what do I need with all of these?! The samples are usually so small that I can't tell whether or not I even like the product so I don't even remember them. Also, I tuck them away in different areas around the house and tend to forget all about them so really, what is the point? I have decided that I would rather get 1 deluxe sample than all these itty bitty samples. How do you feel about this sample madness?

Too Faced Haul! Enchanted Glamourland

Edit Post

I love Too Faced Cosmetic's packaging and this holiday set does not disappoint. It is the cutest thing ever and I can't get enough. The great thing about this collection is that not only is it cute but the shadows are so smooth and easy to apply. They have good pigmentation and I heart them to pieces.

This collection retails for $49. I purchased my set from Sephora's online store. The value is said to be $145 which I do believe because this set is jam packed full of makeup deliciousness.

The set includes 15 eye shadows, a shadow primer, a lip gloss, a blush and a bronzer. Like seriously, what more can you ask for?

For more information on this collection and to see swatches, keep reading!

Kat Von D Haul! Painted Love Lipstick Set

Edit Post

Soure

Hey party people welcome back! Okay so I know I'm supposed to cut down on my hauls but I can't help it! I had to get a refill on my MUFE Foundation so I just threw this kit in my Sephora online shopping cart with it, got my free shipping qualification and was set!

This deal was too good to be true or so I thought. These lipsticks are truly itty bitty. Cute as heck but itty bitty none the less. Like seriously, I thought I was going to break the freaking things just opening them. You wanna know how tiny these things really are and how they look on? Well keep reading and I'll show you!

MAC Venomous Villains Haul!

Edit Post

So I guess my makeup spending hiatus is officially over! I hauled a lot last month so I need to calm down this month which means less haul posting and more looks! I actually stuck to my list with this one though and didn't buy anything extra which is a miracle for me. I even cut down on my list because it was a little out of control.

For those who don't know, this collection was a partnership with Disney and featured 4 Villains which means 4 mini collections. There is Cruella, the Evil Queen, Maleficent and Dr. Facilier. Check out MAC for more info on each villain! I purchased the following:

Cruella
Heartless Lipstick
Wicked Ways Lip Gloss
De-Vil Eye Shadow

Evil Queen
Toxic Tale Lipstick
Hot House Lip Gloss
Bite of an Apple Blush

Maleficent
Bad Fairy Nail Polish
Violetta Lipstick
She Who Dares Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo
My Dark Magic Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo

Dr. Facilier
NOTHING!!!! I wanted the Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Cajun but I refrained.

Keep Reading for pictures, swatches and the excitement of it all.
