CCO Haul, part 2

Hello again! I figured I would get the last part of my CCO haul posted. So, this part will be the last part, and will include lipsticks and lipglosses. First up, the lipsticks!

There they are, all sitting in a row. And may I say?

The MAC Fafi collection had the prettiest packaging! I just love the Fafi illustrations.


I picked up Blow Dry, Flash-N-Dash, Freckletone, and Fresh Salmon. Freckletone is the odd man out out of my purchases. It is a nude, which is not my usual shade du jour. I want to try something a little different, and for me that is a nude lip.

Next up? The Glosses!


I grabbed Bonus Beat (lipglass), Goldyrocks (dazzleglass), and Gold Rebel (lipglass). I love getting items from past collections at the CCO. Plus, who doesn't like spending less?

I originally fell in love with MAC at the CCO. I grabbed a slimshine and fell in love. Sadly, the slimshines are being dicontinued. Next time I go to a CCO I am planning on stocking up on slimshines!

CCO Haul, part 1

Hello Ladies! It feels so weird that it is August already. Where did the year go?

Anyway, recently I went down to San Diego, and checked out the Las Americas Outlet Center. It was amazing. There were outlet stores that I had never seen before, including Disney, Lane Bryant and Old Navy. Who knew? But for me, I get excited about shopping at CCO, or the Cosmetic Company Outlet. I picked up some lipsticks, some lip-glosses, and some Mineralized Skinfinishes. Generally at a CCO I go straight to the MAC display. I check out the other brands, Estee Lauder, Clinique and Bobbi Brown, but I rarely find anything I want at those displays.

Since I grabbed so much MAC, I figured I would split up the posts into MSFs, lipsticks, and lip-glosses. Todays' post will be dedicated to MSFs. I got three while in San Diego, Refined, Cheeky Bronze, and Porcelain Pink.



Refined is on the top, Cheeky Bronze Bottom left, and Porcelain Pink bottom right.


Cheeky Bronze is a lovely peachy bronze. Probably the most wearable bronze I've been able to find. I think this would look beautiful on darker skin tones.


Porcelain Pink is a really light pink. It works well on my light skin as a lovely blush. It gives just a little glow, nothing too strong or overpowering.


Refined is the MSF I am most excited for. Look at all that veining! This gives my skin just a beautiful glow. For me Refined will be the most multi-purpose. It can be worn as a highlighter or a blush and is lovely on the skin. Out of all three, if I had the chance to re-purchase them, I would definitely buy Refined.

Here are some swatches!


What MSFs do you own? Which one is your favorite?
