Small Swap Haul. MAC Margin Blush, Stila Smudgepot, UDPP

I am obsessed with swapping! The idea was pure genius. I've gotten some pretty awesome stuff.

Here are a few other things I received last week:

MAC "Margin" Powder Blush (frost)
BN Urban Decay Primer Potion XL
BN Stila Black Smudgepot mini


This color is soo pretty! It reminds me of Sunbasque, but more pink.

ULTA had a great sale on the XL last week. It came with a few other things for like $18. With a $3.50 off coupon its an awesome deal. I'm not sure if they still have it, I don't see the set on the website.

I haven't tried it out yet. I've never tried Stila smudgepots and I've always been interested. I'm very curious to see how it works in comparison to MAC Blacktrack Fluidline and Wet n Wild Creme Liner. I'll have a review for this at a later time. I kinda want to round up a lot of different brands of gel/cream liners and see which one is best. I really want to try Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel liners.

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?
