I have for you guys a little, well maybe not so little,
collective haul from the past few weeks. It’s the beginning of a new month and MAC
has launched 3 new collections, so of course I have to check them out! While
the Reel Sexy and Tres Cheek were nice collections, they just were not colors
for me. So I chose four items from the MAC In Extra Dimension.
MAC In Extra Dimension is a collection of 3 Extra Dimension
Skinfinish and 10 Extra Dimension Eye Shadows that are from a new formula from
the brand. MAC describes this “extra dimension” formula as a liquid-powder
hybrid with prismatic reflections that instantly sculpts, highlights and models
the face to the desired effect – extra dimension.
I picked up 2 of the 3 Extra Dimension Skinfinish, Whisper
of Gilt and Superb. They both have a metallic finish and are 9 grams, where a
regular mineralize skinfinsh is 10 grams. I was only going to pick up one, but
I could not decide so I bought both. These 2 will be amazing highlights!

| Whisper of Gilt - Light, soft white gold with shimmery sheen |
 |
| Superb - Soft peachy nude with multi-dimensional shimmer |
I picked up 2 of the 3 Extra Dimension Eye Shadows, Rich
Core and Modern Pewter. I was really drawn to these 2 and there were 2 more I
may go back for, Warm Thunder (a silvery grey) and Grand Galaxy (a bright
purple). These, like the mineralize eye shadows; can be worn wet or dry. These
2 colors are like none other in m collection and I could not be happier. I really wish this collection were a
permanent one.

| Modern Pewter - Metallic, Dirty Olive Gold |

| Rich Core - Metallic Eggplant |
The other items I purchased from MAC were a blush, sheen
supreme lipstick and a lipglass. The blush I chose was Fleur Power; it is a
satin finish and is a soft, bright pinkish-coral. The lipglass I picked up was
in Spirited, which I would describe as a champagne taupe. And the last item is
probably my favorite, sheen supreme lipstick in Supreme Style. Supreme Style is
the perfect spring/summer color for me, it’s a soft pink flecked with beige and
champagne shimmer.

Then during Chic Week at Sephora I used my 15 % coupon to
purchase the Laura Mercier Silk Crème foundation that reviewed before, click
here, a NARS duo and a Bare Escentuals Ready Eye Shadow 2.0.
Since I reviewed this already I am not going to go into detail
over the foundation since you can go here to read, so I will jump to the NARS
duo I picked up in Kalahari. This is my first NARS eye shadow product and I
really wanted a simple wearable color, which this is since the colors are
described as bronze pearl and milk chocolate.
The Bare Escentuals Ready Eye Shadow 2.0 I selected was The
Scenic Route. It contains two shades that are individually named Breathtaking
and Spectacular. Breathtaking is this golden white with a beautiful sheen and
Spectacular is a brilliant sage, both have amazing payoff! (Photos coming, thought I uploaded them)
I then ran into Ulta to check out the sale they were having
on Revlon, Physician’s Formula, and NYX, which was an amazing 40% off. I picked
up 4 Revlon Colorburst lip gloss and 2 shimmer stripes products, gel cream
eyeliner and an eyeliner trio.
Two of the Revlon Colorburst lip gloss that I picked up were
on clearance and one of them was my all time favorite in Rose Gold, so I picked
that one up, and Gold Dust. The other two permanent shades I picked up were
Rosepearl and Peach Sunset.
I have never had purchased anything from Physician’s
Formula, since I find it expensive for drugstore makeup, and 40% off was a good
deal. I picked up the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Gel Cream Liner in
for Brown Eyes and the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio in
Nude Eyes. I am excited about trying these out! Reviews coming on the
Physician’s Formula and the MAC In Extra Dimension products!
Have you hauled lately? What have you picked up? Until next
time –
