Beauty Spree: MAC Sonic Chic and Philosophy Amazing Grace.

| Leave a response

I’ve been bad; I haven’t been looking after this blog. I blame work. For the past couple of weeks, we plunged into some project work involving proof of concepts. It wasn’t working for two weeks. Until this Friday at around 4:00. How convenient is that? To celebrate and reward myself for all my hard work (what a lame excuse! lol), I went to the mall to feed my inner girly girl.

So you know how I only own one piece of makeup from M.A.C? One lonely Fluidline in black. Now, thanks to the new Sonic Chic collection, I now have a total of four! I fell in love with the blushes so much that I picked up two, Nuance and Dainty. I also got an eyeshadow in Expensive Pink from the Neo Sci-fi collection. Ahhh I’m this close to hyperventilating… I wish I could wear them all at once. lol


From L to R: M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Dainty, M.A.C Mineralize Blush in Nuance, M.A.C eyeshadow in Expensive Pink, and Philosophy Amazing Grace Purse Spray


Newest members of my very cluttered cosmetics drawer

Continuing my beauty haul, I walked over to Sephora and picked up Philosophy Amazing Grace purse spray. I just love the smell. It’s very light and feminine, perfect for the warm weather. It just makes me feel like a woman. So good! It’s going to be my everyday summer fragrance. I have to put my Burberry Brit away for more special occasions.

I finally got to wear my new shoes from Nine West, and a $9 flowery top from Wal-Mart. Can’t beat that price!

Beauty Spree: Product Body and Sephora.

I’m just so excited that I want to share my purchases with the world lol!


I got stuff from Product Body. I got the Crush on You Sugar Shea Scrubby Wash, and Pure and Double Whipped 100% Shea Butter, both in Yuzu. My package arrived last night and I already tried them out this morning. I’m all smiles about this one. Oh and yes, I got a sample of Crush On You in Gardenia. :) I’ll post a reviews in a couple weeks.


I had to make an emergency run to Sephora today because my all-time favourite facial cleanser, Philosophy Purity Made Simple, had just ran out. I got a giant bottle of goodness this time that’ll last me a long long time. I also got a Sephora Flashy Waterproof Liner in Flashy Copper. I’ll make this my go-to eyeliner this summer. And what’s Sephora without cute little samples? This time I picked up a sample of Smashbox’s famous makeup primer.

Wee!

Sephora, My Love.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Yorkdale mall. He shopped for accessories for his sexy new Macbook Pro. By the way, I’m totally jealous of its massive desktop space and backlit keyboard. After the Apple store, it’s only fitting that I get a shopping fix as well. So I decided to pop in to Sephora for “two minutes.” Not!

I already had a couple of things in mind that I wanted to pick up so, without further ado… my mini Sephora haul.

I already tried both products briefly and am very happy of their effectiveness so far. I’ll try them out for a few more days to get a true feel for them.

After shopping, we watched Cloverfield. I’m not much for stressful movies with monsters, so I didn’t really like it. But Is it also a coincidence that the movie’s lead characters stopped in front of a Sephora while in the middle of the hysteria? I think there might have been a hidden message there somewhere.
