I was planning on spending a ton of money on makeup in NYC, Boston, New Jersey and Maine on the band trip I've been on for the past week, but I could not imagine the deals I found at the CCO in Kittery, ME. I had an amazing time(I missed Specktra though!), and I spent so much money on clothes, souvenirs, etc.. So I thought I'd share my new makeup with all of you, and give a little review of each article I purchased.
Sephora, NYC (The one across from the Hard Rock Cafe):
-NARS The Multiple in Copacabana - my all time favorite highlighter, as of this week. My friends and busmates had me doing their makeup all week, and I used this on EVERYONE. It comes out so beautifully in pictures, the perfect glow.
-NARS Blush in Deep Throat - gorgeous peachy pink.
-NARS Blush in Sin - best blush for my skin tone that I've come across, including my beloved MAC BPB's. It's a sexy, natural berry.
-NARS Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls -perfect nude, stayed on through a night of hardcore, sweaty dancing at the Heritage Festival banquet (600+ band students packed into a ballroom..we bandies can party).
Stila Convertible Color in Petunia - haven't played with this one much yet, but it looked beautifully bright and youthful on my blonde haired, blue eyed best friend.
This all ran me about $140.
Kittery, ME CCO:
-Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick in Peony - I saw this and recognized the product from a few of MissChievious's tutorials and FOTD's, so I grabbed it immediately. She's sort of my makeup icon on Specktra, and I love when she posts looks since they always showcase glowing skin, so I had high hopes for this product. They were met and surpassed; this is a perfect addition to a pink blush to kick it up a notch and add a lovely glow.
-Lip Gelee in Glosspitality - I like glosses that have no shimmer, so this was perfect.
-Lip Gelee in Moistly - love this! Nice berry color, pairs well with Sin Blush.
-TLC in Gentle Coral - I got it in the old school packaging, and I'm really glad to have a subtle coral that doesn't overwhelm my fair complexion.
-Plushglass in Angel Cream - pretty light, milky pink with no shimmer. A+.
-Eyeshadow in Cranberry - in Moonbathe packaging! Gorgeous burgundy, looks fantastic paired with my beloved Artifact paint pot.
-Fluidline in Silverstroke - I've been lemming this for a while, and it was super cheap there, soooo I took advantage of the price and grabbed one. A nice touch in a silver smokey eye.
-Fluidline in Nightfish - I'm almost out of Blitz and Glitz, and I like a soft black liquid liner. This fulfilled this need quite nicely.
-See Through Cheek Color in Awash of Pink - great find! I didn't know that MAC ever made cheekstain. Best cheek stain I've ever used (and I love me some cheek stain). It's a very sheer, subtle fuchsia that looks extremely natural and lasts for hours.
-Eyeshadow in Aquavert - hands down my favorite purchase. I love the Lure packaging, and this shimmery seafoam color is to die for.
-Liquidlast Liner in Molten Sol - very unique color, the orange-bronze looks great with my blue eyes!
All this cost me only $140!! I was so surprised!!
And finally, from a random Victoria's Secret:
-Very Sexy Lip Stain in Nubile - a great punchy coral; it looks like I chugged a gallon of Kool-Aid when I wear it, and it has great staying power (perhaps TOO great..).
Sorry for the long post, but I'm so excited about my new products!
Edit: I also got CanCan by Paris Hilton perfume from Perfumania in Kittery. Yum!
