Last Monday I received my stimulus check in the mail, so I figured that meant I could go to the mall on Thursday for Cool Heat. I already had it all spent before I even knew about the 15% F&F coupon, but once I got that coupon in my e-mail ... I was in heaven! It was like the MAC Gods knew I had plans to go to the mall
.
The spending of my Stimulus check actually started on Wednesday (6/11) when I went to deposit the check into my checking account. I went next door to CVS to pick up some film and went lurking into the makeup section ...
* I picked up film that I had dropped off before I was admitted into the hospital and they also had L'Oreal HIP Lip Gloss in Pixie for 75% off, so I had to pick one up!
The film that I had dropped off was actually from 2 concerts: Bamboozle 2006 (yeah, the film was old
) and Hanson from 9/21/07. I thought I would share my 2 favorite photos that were developed:
Craig Owens (the singer of Chiodos) and I at Bamboozle 2006.
A photo of Zac Hanson from when I met him after the concert on 9/21/07.
So on Thursday (6/12), I took the 11:40am bus and got to the mall at 12:45pm. An hour bus ride is so worth day of shopping & MAC!
The first store I went to was Bath & Body Works. I've said this in other haul posts, I have a serious weakness for that store.
Plus, the fact that they are having their Semi-Annual Clearance sale only made it worse.
- Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Body Lotion
- Rainkissed Leaves Body Splash (Travel Size)
- Wild Honeysuckle Anti-Bacterial Hand Lotion
- Wild Honeysuckle Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel
- Fresh Pineapple Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap
- Pear Blossom Body Lotion (Travel Size)
- Pear Blossom Body Splash (Travel Size)
- Tropical Passionfruit Body Splash
- Tropical Passionfruit Body Lotion
- Tropical Passionfruit Anti-Bacterial Hand Lotion
- Tropical Passionfruit Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel
- Spicy Gingerbread Temptaions Body Lotion
... I had a $10 off of $30 purchase, so all of that ended up costing me $19.26
Not too bad for spending an hour (
) walking around the store.
I then headed over to Icing to pick up 2 more nail polishes ...
- Awkward
- Firestarter
... these polishes are seriously amazing! Just as good as OPI & China Glaze!
I promised my mom that I would pick up some summer clothes if I was going to spend money on MAC, so I went to Lane Bryant b/c I had another coupon ($25 off of a purchase of $75)!
- 2 pairs of Black Bermuda Shorts
- 1 pair of Gray Shorts
- Fuschia Tank Top
- Blue Tank Top
- Pink w/ thin Gold Horizontal Stripes 3/4 length sleeved top for over my bathing suit.
... Once I was done in Lane Bryant, I figured it was time to go spend some $$ on MAC!
When I got to the MAC Counter, Lauren (my fav. MA) was out to lunch, so Dow (my second fav. MA) helped me out. I told her I never have done colors on my eyes and she couldn't believe it! I told her that she could do whatever she wanted on my eyes and she did this GORGEOUS look w/ Warming Trend, Solar White, Warm Chill, Gulf Stream & Cool Heat. But once again, I'm a loser and forgot to take pictures.
She also helped match me to a new foundation since Studio Tech broke me out.
So this is what I walked away from the Macy's Counter with ...
- Strobeblossom TLC (last one!
)
- Gentle Simmer Slimshine
- Matte (
my new love!)
- Buttery/Blonde Taupe Brow Shader
- Medium Plus Mineralize SPF 15 Loose Foundation
- Gulf Stream e/s
- Warm Chill e/s
- Warming Trend e/s
- Solar White e/s
Next, I went to the Coach store. I had been eying this one purse for several months and since I got my Stimulus check ...
Signature Stripe Tote in Pink!
I'm so glad that I actually held onto my 25% off preferred customers coupon this time! The lady there also threw in a sample of the Coach perfume.
Then it was time for the MAC Store to use my F&F Coupon!
I ended up CPing some items for some international girls over on the MAC community on livejournal and I also had a set of empties to use. This is what I ended up for myself & my Mom:
- Engraved PowerPoint Pencil (not pictured - for my Mom)
- Package of 2 Travel Jars 1 oz w/ Sifters
- 227 Brush
- Pleasure Principle Dazzleglass (B2M)
- Turquotic Heat (Back-Up .. I've been wearing it everyday since I got the other one w/ my Neo Sci-Fi Haul!)
- Tropic Glow Slimshine
- Warm Chill e/s (accidental purchase! this will be going up for swap on MUA)
- EZ Baby Tendertone
- 15 Pan Palette
- Espresso e/s (pro pan)
- Cork e/s (pro pan)
- Amberlights e/s (pro pan)
- All That Glitters e/s (pro pan)
- Soba e/s (pro pan)
My final store of the day was Victoria's Secret where I picked up some more body sprays!
- Appletini Body Double Mist
- Lotta Colada Body Double Mist
- Mango Madness Body Double Mist
- Love Spell Body Scrub
.. I got the Body Scrub for free with my final coupon of the day.
Mango Madness smells amazing, it's one of the 3 new body double mists that are out for the summer.
And lastly some pictures of some items I received in the mail from MUA Swaps & sales on livejournal.
