FOTD and Baking Beauties swatches

Usually I hate Mondays but today the UPS man brought some goodies to my house..

Pink Buttercream

 In For A Treat

Thoughts: I do like them, they don't wow me but they'll serve a purpose. I don't have a pink highlighter so Pink Buttercream will suffice. In For A Treat is also unlike the highlighters I have right now. I can't see them being anything else besides highlighters though unless you really want to pack on the product. I just love the design, they're so cute :)

Anyways, heres a FOTD. Tried to be all Kim K-esque. My facebook friends seem to approve ;)

Products used:
MAC Mylar, Mystery, Soft Brown, Shroom
Too Faced Matte Palette
Kat Von D True Romance Palette in Saint
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner
Annabelle Smoothie Eye Pencil
Covergirl Clump Crusher 

Lips: MAC Creme d'Nude
Cheeks: MAC MSF in Earthshine and Lightscapade

Anyways, last final tomorrow. So I'm off to the library for the day.
Can't WAIT for the Fleetwood Mac concert tomorrow night.

Till next time,

Fashion Set swatches

Here are swatches from some stuff I picked up from the MAC Fashion Sets line. 
I'm currently in a bidding war on eBay for Heroine so we'll see how that goes.
Please enjoy my infamous robe in these photos




Embrace Me
 
 Embrace Me w/ Flash
Ablaze

 Ablaze w/ Flash
 Silly
 Silly w/ Flash

I think my favourite colour out of these in Ablaze, I don't have a colour like it. Silly reminds me of a very barbie pink. Embrace Me is also nice. Since these lipsticks are matte, they're a little more drying over time but feel nice and smooth when you put them on.
I'm a sucker for lipsticks (obviously) and I really like these ones. The colours are really strong and pigmented aka everything I look for in a lipstick! 
These are mostly sold out everywhere, you can try MAC counters but I suggest calling ahead.
Otherwise, off to eBay you go!!

Heres a quick FOTD I did today, went neutral (once again) with my eyes.

Used:
MAC Naked Lunch
Kat Von D True Romance Palette - Saint
Too Faced Matte Palette
Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner
MAC White Eyeliner hahah (forget the name, really should look it up)
Covergirl Clump Crusher
MAC Lipstick in Lady Danger (LOVE IT!!!)

Looks like my stuff from Baking Beauties collection should be in tomorrow so I'll swatch them and give some initial reviews.

Have a great Sunday!

Silly

Sorry I've been MIA these last few days, I'm in hardcore exam mode but once Tuesday at 4:30 hits I am FREE! So expect more posts and some definite hauls due to the fact that my summer job starts soon.

Here is a quick picture from the other day, I'm wearing MAC's Silly lipstick (from the Fashion Sets collection). 

I will swatch the lipsticks I got from the Fashion Sets collection. I also ordered some things from the Baking Beauties collection and will post some pictures and such here when I get them (which should be Monday).

Patiently waiting for my credit card statement to come out so I can finally put an order in at Sephora. Ooh its gonna be a summer full of makeup.
Also picking up a vanity, which I'm going to revamp. Makeup needs a new home, updates to come..

Till next time,

McLaughlin Lovin

Another exciting day for me HAHAHA not, this has been my setup for the last 5 hours:



Have my first in class exam in the morning. Finals has snuck up on us all and I'm reading to power through it and go HAM on these textbooks.
My new saying is C's get degrees and A's get paid.. and personally,  I want to get paid to support not only my makeup and online shopping addiction but also to get into law school and have a comfortable life. Decisions we make now will affect us for the rest of our lives..

Enough depressing school talk. Here are some pictures of my makeup I took in the car:



Used:
MAC Chatterbox l/s
MAC All That Glitter e/s
Too Faced Matte Palette
Maybelliene Eye Studio Eyeliner
MAC Eyeliner in White... (not sure the name again)
Covergirl Clump Crusher
And a MAC blush I can't recall, its in their mineralize blush collection. Its a dark pink.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Lack of down time

Gotta love exams time, right?
Anyways, the only "me" time I have lately is when I do my hair and makeup to get ready to go to school or work. Lately, I've been having more fun with my looks as I get bursts of makeup inspiration. Pinterest and Beautylish are key for those, or even doing a simple google search of instagram makeup. 

Anyways, this is my makeup after 10 hours of library loving and stressing.. along with hardcore munching at work trying to pass the time. 
Please ignore my lovely cowlick/sweet flow I have going on recently. At least I straightened my hair today okay...

HAH this photo makes me laugh. I look high. I wish, I'm just exhausted and drained emotionally and physically.

Used (on my eyes):
Stila Palette - In the Light
Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Poetica
NARS Eyeshadow - Daphne
Maybelline Studio Gel Liner
MAC eyeliner in a colour I can't recall the name of (helpful right)
Covergirl Clump Crusher

Anyways back to procrastinating from school work and doing absolutely nothing at work.
