MAC Brushes, Eyeshadows and Mickey Contractor Haul


I've been hauling some MAC lately from the Cosmetic Company Stores (CCO's) and from Nordstrom, so I thought I'd share. 

MAC Haul - including Mickey Contractor and Cham-Pale Paint Pots.
 I bought all of this over the course of a few weeks.  I really need to avoid the MAC counter - it's too tempting!
MAC Mickey Contractor Blush Sur, Blush Dame, Cream Color Base Hush.
Superslick Liquid Eyeliners Nocturnal, Smoky Heir, Eyeshadows Hypnotizing, Patina. 
I'm busy building a beautiful makeup brush collection - including MAC brushes.
MAC Baby Goth Girl nail polish, MAC brushes.
I had a problem with the MAC 179 Body Buffer Brush.  After washing it, it began to reek like a dead animal.  I thought I'd have to return it, and I was very upset about it.  I washed it about 10 times alternately using MAC Brush Cleaner, facial cleansers, shampoos and finally Neutrogena Rainbath.  That seemed to do the trick.  I left the brush to dry for several days, and now it only has a faint scent of the Rainbath.  Phew!
Top to Bottom, MAC 179,  134, 189, 109, 165 Brushes.
Cham-Pale collection lipstick in Quiet Please, and a new pair of MAC false eyelashes to complete the multitude of looks I can create from my haul!

The February 2011 Birch Box




This month's Birchbox came to me with more than a little drama.


The mail man couldn't get to our mail box because it's snowed in, and he ended up taking the Birchbox back on his route.  This meant that when I got to the Post Office last night, they couldn't find the Birchbox! Oh, the horror!


This morning I was waiting at the door, ready to race outside, hunt him down and demand to know where my Birchbox was. Turns out it was at the Post Office after all - and the Post Office was due to close in 30 minutes!  I raced into town, and gasped at how long the line was when I got there.


20 minutes later, all was forgiven as the Birchbox was located and turned over to me.  Anyway, once I had it in my eager hands I rushed home and filmed my video.


This month was a surprise - I enjoyed this Birchbox much more than I did for January.


So without further ado, here it is!


The February 2011 Birchbox!
This month, everyone seemed to be waiting for NARS, and it was included.


This Birchbox contained NARS Orgasm and Bare Escentuals Mascara.
The Indulgence Birchbox includes:
Bare Escentuals - Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara
Befine - Exfoliating Brown Sugar Cleanser
NARS - Orgasm Illuminator
Pomega5 - Green Tea Mattifying Moisturizer
Sweetriot - Chocolate-Covered Cacao Nibs
I highly recommend Birchbox!
