Naughty Nautical (LE)- Shade description: Dark royal blue (Frost)
Shirelle- Shade description: Classic she's a dame red (Cream)

This collection is extremely cute, but to be honest, there's not much that I want from it. Basically just the stuff I bolded and maybe a pigment. Sorry I haven't been posting anything good in a while, I've just been super busy. During the summer, I'll definitely get way more into this. For now, you can expect a haul (I've got to get something from Dazzleglass and Naughty Nauticals), random updates, and I still have some ideas like my favorite YouTube makeup channels, and stuff like that. Please stick around and don't desert me!

MAC Dazzleglass

So, I guess it came out today online. Of course, I just got home from school, and what a surprised! It's sold out. Wow... well here's an overview of the new products.

Dazzleglass



Electro-pearl atoms blast their light as Lipglass gets the dazzle treatment. High-shine + large particle quartz and opal crystal captured in a great new formula with light-reflecting, crystalline iridescence. To be this dazzling: that's power.



Lipcolour that dazzles with light and shine to bring an exciting dimensional pop to your lips. Large particle pearls reflect and refract light to mimic the brilliance of quartz and opal crystal. Provides exceptional shine with a crystalline iridescence. Non-sticky, non-tacky, lightweight and moisturizing. Glides on. Wear alone, or layer over lipstick or Lipglass for dramatic effect. Features our signature M·A·C vanilla aroma.

It comes in 16 different colors:

Comet Blue- Violet blue
Funtabulous- Purple with violet pearl
Ms. Fizz- Bright pink with blue pearl
Like Venus-Clean light bubble gum pink with red pearl
Baby Sparks- Pale pink with violet pearl
Money, Honey- Mid-tone rosy mauve with red pearl
Rags to Riches- Plumy pink with teal and red pearl
Date Night- Deep plum with blue and gold pearl
Spanking Rich- Raspberry pink with red and gold pearl
Get Rich Quick- Warm yellow brown
Bare Necessity- Caramel apricot with red and gold pearl
Steppin' Out- Clean yellow pink with red pearl
Glamour O.D.- Bright coral red with red pearl
Sugarrimmed- Milky pale pink with red, teal and white pearl
Pleasure Principle- Clear white violet, teal and white pearl
Love Alert- Raspberry red with red pearl

$16.50

Check out the swatches at maccosmetics.com/

I want one, hopefully I'll be able to get one this weekend. I'm really loving Baby Sparks, Rags to Riches, Money Honey, Bare Necessity and Sugarrimmed. Uh, basically all of them. Hopefully these things don't have chunks of glitter in it, because that is so annoying. If you guys have one, leave a comment on how you like it! When I do get one (if I ever do), I'll for surely do a review on it. I can't believe they're charging $16.50 for them. Not that that's as ridiculous as a Stila Lipglaze, but seriously, this is gonna a burn a hole right through my pocket. Ugh, this is such a love hate thing.

On a side note, can't wait for Naughty Nauticals to come out. Check out Specktra if you want to see what's in the collection ahead of time. They have tons of info on all the upcoming MAC Collections. I'm definately keeping my eye on some shadows and lustreglasses!

MAC DressCamp Collection

Yeah, I know this thing is sold in like 5 stores across the world, and it sold out online in like two hours, but I thought I'd share the collection with you guys anyway. It's basically just like the MAC website, but with my two cents added. No, I didn't get anything, but a girl can dream...

DressCamp



In collaboration with M·A·C, Toshikazu Iwaya inspires a collection that fans fashion flames. Features hot colour, disco-trash metallics, all wrapped-up in immaculate black, white and gold packaging. Like DressCamp - this is wild.

DressCamp x 4 Face Palette, $36.00



Specially customized rectangular compact in gold-coloured metal featuring the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern, crest and hot pink plaque with a gold M·A·C logo. Contains limited edition Beauty Powder in DressCamp Pink (a blue mid-tone pink with white pearlized pigments), three Eye Shadows; Sunny Girl (a yellow gold), Golden Gold (a deep golden bronze), Trend (a Neutral tan with gold pearlized pigments and compact-sized 213SE application brush. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton.

I WANT THIS SO BADLY!!!! The colors look gorgeous, the packaging is gorgeous, they better make more and put them online, or else I will be very angry. That's all I have to say.

DressCamp Lipstick in Too Fab, $14.00



Traditional M·A·C Lipstick case featuring the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern with an iconic gold star. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton. Limited edition.

I'm not really a lipstick person, but I figured since there's only like four items in this collection (bummer), I might as well put everything.

DressCamp Lipglass, $14.00



Traditional M·A·C Lipglass vial shows its DressCamp colours with a cap printed in the collection’s signature black and white DressCamp pattern with an iconic gold star screened directly onto the vial. Comes packaged in its own coordinated carton. Limited edition.

She-Gold, Shade description: Yellow gold with gold pearl (Frost)



Geez, besides the face palette, this was the ONLY thing I wanted from this collection, and it's sold out, too. Come on MAC. Seriously? You have MILLIONS of customers WORLDWIDE, and you sell it in only 5 locations, and only have enough online to last for like two hours? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Ok, I'm sorry, that was a little off topic. Anyhoo, I've never had a gold lipgloss before, and this would have been perfect, but no, I can't have it. Stupid MAC :P

Fashion, Shade description: Bright mid-tone pink with white pearl (Frost)



Bright pink on my lips just looks funny, but this seems like a fun and funky color for those of you can pull it off.

All I can really say is I LOVE the collection, but I am just disappointed with the marketing (if that's the right word to use). Until I get my face palette and lipglass without having to spend like $100 on eBay, I will stay upset :(

(Just a side note, I'm not really that angry, I'm just kinda ranting.)

Clinique & MAC Haul

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I've been super busy lately, but I guess not busy enough to sneak some more makeup into my collection :)

- Clinique High Impact Mascara, $14.00



Well, after using BadGal Lash for three months (that's how long you're supposed to keep your mascara), I figured it was time to try a new one. I've never owned anything Clinique before, but their mascaras seemed decent, and not expensive like Dior or Lancome. I really liked how clean the brush looked, there were no mascara clumps on the brush or anything. I tried it today, and I just loved it! It gave me that dramatic look that I love for my eyelashes, and I think it's better than BadGal because the brush is smaller, so it's not as messy. Don't get me wrong, BadGal was great, but I think I've found my new love :)

- MAC Gold Spill Mineralize Skinfinish, $24.50



Ok, so I know this is discontinued, but I swaped NARS Crazed blush for it on Makeup Alley. This is my first Mineralize Skinfinish, and I am really loving it (geez, I love everything)! It's this really nice golden bronzy color, and it adds the perfect amount of summer "glow" to my cheeks. Being a Cali girl, that's exactly what I'm looking for, even when it's not summer. It is pretty sheer, and there is some sparkle, but that's just what I love about it, because I love to sparkle and shine, but not be too over the top or crazy.

So that's it. Not a big haul, but good enough to share, I think. The pictures I got were from the Clinique website and Google. I would have taken them myself, but in all honesty, I was too lazy. Sorry :) So I'll talk to you guys later! Keep checking back. My next post will probably be on my favorite YouTube makeup channels! Ooh, exciting :)

CCO Haul

I went to the outlet mall today, and there was a CCO there, and I got some stuff. For those of you who don't know, CCO stands for Cometic Company Outlet, and it sells all the makeup brands owned by Estee Lauder (MAC, Origins, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, DKNY fragrances...) for about 30% cheaper. Sometimes they have limited edition stuff, and sometimes they have stuff that is still sold in stores, it all depends.


- MAC Lip Conditioner SPF 15, $10.00



- MAC Lipglass in Bait from the Lure Collection, $10.00



- MAC Blush in Fleurry, $12.25



There was also a Fragrance outlet there, so I got Moschino Funny! perfume.

I got the pictures from Google, Makeup Alley, and eBay!

Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme Review

Okay, so I got around to using it, and I am absolutely in love with it! I put it in my hair after I took a shower, and when it dried, it was so much smoother than it normally is. I straightened it, and it was way shinier, smoother, and it lasted way longer too. I would really recommend this product. I know it's on the pricey side, but in my opinion, it's so worth it, because a little goes a really long way.

Mini Haul

Today I went to Nordstrom Rack, and I guess I went during the wrong week, because I didn't find any clothes. I was looking for a new Juicy jacket since I broke my other one (yeah, I know right? Who breaks their Juicy jackets??), but they seriously, they had like no Juicy stuff. I was really dissapointed. But I did get one thing :)

-Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme, $24.97


Dang, this stuff was expensive, but so worth it! My hair stylist uses this on me, and it just makes my hair look really amazing and it smells sooo good. I finally got around to buying it, and I haven't used it by myself yet, but after I do, I will definitely be doing a review on it.

Thanks for reading! Please subscribe, and feel free to leave comments, questions, or even requests. Have a great day!
