Mini CCO and blog sale hauls.

[HappyInsomniac]

I made a trip to the York UK CCO/CCS on my way to Whitby this week, and although there wasn't a large amount available I did manage to pick up a few things I'd been after.



- 6 Beauties Play It Cool Palette
- Shimmermoss e/s
- Gulf Stream e/s
- Gold Stroke pigment
- Old Gold pigment
- Moonlight Night pigment
- Later pigment
- Winkle e/s pro pan
- Adoring carmine mini eye brush set

I've also accumulated a few things from various blog sales over the last few weeks (with more due to arrive in the post).



- Mac Liquid Lurex l/s
- Mac Playing Koi l/s
- Mac Viva Glam Gaga I l/s
- Mac Viva Glam Cyndi l/s
- Mac Tone: Grey quad
- Elf quad containing Mac Trax de-pot, Contrast de-pot, and Deep Truth de-pot. Not actually sure what the gold pot is, though my closest approximation is maybe a pressed piggie (old gold, perhaps?).
- Mac Hello Kitty Lucky Tom quad.
- Mac Roman Holiday l/g
- Mac Corn shadestick
- Mac Gentle Lentil shadestick
- Mac Lucky Jade shadestick
- YSL quad
- Mac Viva Glam V

love the pigments + cyndi!

 

[HappyInsomniac]

Thanks. I looove cyndi. I'm too chicken to wear a bright/matte red, so it's lovely to find a more subtle one to ease me in, lol. Shame it was LE, really.

Yeah, I actually have Cyndi already but I use it quite a lot so I really wanted a backup. It's such a lovely colour/finish.

Nice haul....I wish I had a CCO near me :-( Probably better that I don't thought because I'd be so broke *haha*

Some more things I've picked up from various swaps and blog sales (plus one Surf Baby purchase):



Mac palette, and pans/depots:
- All That Glitters
- Old Gold pressed piggie
- Lucky Green
- Strike a Pose
- Deep Truth
- Trax
- Parfait Amour
- Contrast
- Nocturnelle

I'm going to need another palette or two if I depot all my Mac shadows (and I think I'm going to... this is far easier for storage).

What a great haul! Wow Hibiscus and Vegas Volt look so similar in that picture...I've been lusting after Hibiscus but maybe I should skip it? Do you find them similar, or is hibiscus a little more red? [I'm hoping]

They swatch really similarly on my arm, but Hibiscus is definitely more reddy than Vegas Volt on lips. Quick, messy swatches:




Hope that's helpful.

 

[femmepastiche]

Oh that's so nice thank you so much! Wow that color is so gorgeous on....Vegas Volt is a tad too orange on me I suppose, yet another excuse to pick up hibiscus...as if there weren't enough.

Thanks again!!

 

[HappyInsomniac]

Yeah, I really want to love Vegas Volt but it's a little too orangey for me too. I think I'm too pale to make it work. Hibiscus is gorgeous, though, definitely worth getting. Looks really nice as a thin wash of colour over lip balm, too.

Thanks! I'm surpised I found one too, tbh, but it's a fab colour. Not sure if I'm brave enough to wear it much.
