MAC & Sephora Haul

I picked a few items from the MAC In The Groove collection a few days after it came out. I also picked up some pretties from Sephora while I was visiting my dad in Albuquerque.

First, MAC's In The Groove.



Stereo Rose MSF I was so lucky to get this item. I got the last one at my MAC Pro store. It is a lovely coral with bronze veining.

Jazzed Lipstick A nice coral pink lipstick. Different from most of the other colors I have.

Chillin’ Cremesheen Glass Looks blueish in pictures, but it is a very simple shimmery gloss. I imagine it would look good on top of just about anything.

I also grabbed one item not from the In The Groove collection, a Studio Finish Concealer. While one of the MAC Artists was helping me figure out the MSFs, she put on some concealer over my cheeks to cancel out my natural redness. I was so surprised, and the effect was wonderful. I just loved it. I could go on and on about how pleased I was about learning this. It just made me so happy. I need to hold myself back from going on and on about how great this whole idea is.

Second, a Sephora haul. Now, there isn't a Sephora where I live, so when I'm near one I like to grab some goodies. Plus, it was within two weeks of my birthday, so I got the little Sephora freebee too. Yay!



Bad Gal Lash & Too Faced Lash Injection in travel sizes. I love having travel sized mascaras. Somehow travel sizes make me happy.

Hello Flawless from Benefit. Hello Flawless is supposed to be a good foundation for oily skin, so I will definitely give this a try.

Coralista by Benefit. My first Benefit box! I'm excited. Such a lovely coral color.

24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero by Urban Decay. I already have a few other 24/7 eye liners, but no black. Weird, right? I really needed to get the black to go with all my other colors.

Buxom Travel In Style The packing is what got me. This set includes a Mini Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Monica & a Mini Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Athens. Lovely colors.

Sephora Beauty Insider Birthday Gift includes a white shimmery eyeshadow, a deep green eyepencil and a mascara.

I've yet to try all these items, but now I am back home I will have to try all of them! If you would like any reviews of swatches, please let me know!

  2. So happy you could get your hands on Stereo Rose! It's not a holy grail for me, but it's definitely nice to have in my collection! :) I sing praises of that concealer constantly. It's the best!

    I still need to get Coralista one day. It's so pretty. I love 24/7 pencils. So creamy! Love the haul, girlie!

  3. Hi Wendy! I quite like Stereo Rose, but I don't think it will be something I go for everyday.

    I really like Coralista. The color goes with my skin tone so well. I can just put it on naked cheeks and it still looks good.

    Thank you for the comment!

  4. Hi Christine. I think I want to pick up more items from the collection. I'm really starting to like the MSFs. I love the cremesheen glosses. They are less sticky, and the color I got is perfect over any lipstick. It really is lovely.

    I'll let you know how I like the items from the haul. ;)

    Thank you so much for your comment.

  5. Great haul! =)

    I always thought the Hello Flawless would be bad for people with oily skin! Will you let me know how that works out for you?

  6. @Linh, I saw Hello Flawless on Musings of a Muse and it hijacked my brain. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided to grab one. I will definitely let you know how it works for me. :)

  8. @Shopping Addict: So far I have only used the eyeshadow, which is lovely. The other two I think are nice, but I already have brands that I like for eyeliner and mascara, so I'm not so interested in them.
