Swap Haul! MAC Lipsticks: Masque, Blankety, Colour Crafted.

I got these in the mail today! "Masque" is a LE shade. This one in particular is from the Alexander McQueen Collection. I'm not sure if it has been relaunched since then. It looks almost exactly like "Blankety" and similar to shades like "Faux" or "Honeylove". This isn't a very flattering shade on me unfortunately.. as well as Blankety since they're almost identical. Colour Crafted is a LE shade as well, and its a barbie pink. This is the only one I may wear out of these. I would have to mix it with something because its very intense.


They look so pretty in the tube, but they look very dull on me. And mauvey shades just don't flatter my skin tone.

NOTD: OPI Over the Taupe

Love this shade! Its basically a plain, creamy taupe. It's a lighter verison of "You Don't Know Jacques". It looks the best with 2 coats and a clear top coat. With one coat, it looks a little streaky.
 

Small Sephora Haul! CARGO!

I went to Sephora last Saturday to take a look at the Cargo line (since it is leaving Sephora and the whole line is 50% off) About 50% of the Cargo cosmetics were gone.. I was able to get my hands on a couple goodies.



Medium Bronzer (one of my old favorites) $14
Reverse Lip Liner Pencil Medium/Dark $7
Blu_ray High Definition Lip Gloss "Laredo" $12

and, Sephora Fame Lip Gloss "Starring Role" on sale for $10




Its a subtle, buildable coppery bronze with a light shimmer. It is very soft and blends wondefully.






"laredo" is a very beige colored gloss with slight shimmer. It is sheer and very moisturizing. It also has a minty taste and cool feel.




The reverse lip liner is a fleshtone colored pencil that can be used to define your lips by outlining the outside of your actual lip line and then lining your lip with whatever color you may use. This matches my skintone perfectly.







Love this color! Its a very bright pink with a coral and yellow/golden pearl. It's very sheer, but it definately brightens my face up. And, its not sticky. :)

I am wearing it with MAC Oak Lip Liner Pencil. I'm also wearing my NARS Sheer Glow in this pic. I'm a little shiny because it was the end of the day.
Did you get anything from the Cargo sale?

NOTD: OPI Boris & Natasha!

One (1) coat of OPI Boris & Natsha (No top coat, which was very needed!)
I received this nail polish in a swap late last week. I really like it. With the first coat of OPI Boris 
& Natasha, it looks like more of a deepened red plum. With two coats its a deep raisin. It's actually just what I've been looking for. It reminds me a bit of OPI Can you tapas this. I wish it was slightly lighter though, with two coats it is very dark.

 I really have been into brown nail polishes lately. I'm waiting to receive another OPI nail polish called "Over the Taupe" I can't wait to try. :) Do you know any pretty browns? Let me know!
