I know this is a little late now but I thought I would post what I hauled from the latest MAC collection.
I got:
- "Marine Life" High-Light Powder
- "Hipness" Blush
- "Scorcher" Nail Laquer
- "Golden" Bronzer
- "Easy Lounger" Lipglass
- "Splashing" Lipglass
- "Lazy Day" Lipstick
- "Thrills" Lipstick
- "Funbathing" Lipstick
- "Firecracker" Eyeshadow
- "Sweet & Punchy" Eyeshadow
I haven't had much of a chance to try anything out yet but I'm very happy that I managed to get everything I wanted.
On that note, I have a little story about this haul. Ok, I think that I must have been one of the first people in Canada to order from this collection online. Seriously. I had worked an overnight shift the night before meaning that my shift ended at 6:00am. So, I decided to stay up and wait for the collection to be posted so that I could place my order before going to bed. I was getting a little antsy waiting so I was not only refreshing the MAC homepage, I was also periodically typing in product names into the search bar to see if they had been added. After a few attempts, the products started to show up and I had my entire order placed before the homepage was updated and even before product pictures were uploaded! I know it makes me look insane but at least I managed to get Marine Life before it sold out later that day when I might have still been in bed!

Great Drugstore Finds
In this post I'm going to discuss some great products that you can find at the drugstore. I'm not a high-end product snob and I truly believe that you can find great products at the drugstore! I'm going to call this Part 1 because as I come across more great finds, I'll make subsequent posts.
1.) Revlon Colorstay Foundation
This foundation is my absolute holy grail of foundations and believe me, I've tried quite a few before finding this one.
The good:
- Blends flawlessly
- Offers medium buildable coverage
- Very long-lasting
- Comes in a wide range of colours so it's very easy to match your skintone
- Even if you cannot find a match for your skin, this stuff mixes really well so you can customize it to match you perfectly
- One of my favourite aspects of this foundation is that it comes in two formulas: one for dry skin and one for combination/oily skin
- It's inexpensive and one bottle lasts a long time
The not-so-good:
- The bottle does not have a pump applicator so it's difficult to get the right amount and you might end up wasting some if you're not careful
- The smell isn't the absolute best smelling thing in the world but you get used to it pretty quickly (plus with all the pros of this product, it could smell a lot worse and I would still use it!)
Overall, I give this product a 9 out of 10 and the missing point is solely because it does not have a pump applicator, otherwise this would be a perfect product for me.
More products after the jump!

Nails of the Day - Jawbreaker Candy
Hey out there,
So I thought I would start out my first blog post with a simple posting of my notd. This started out as a design inspired by the game Twister but it started to get a little messy and instead of starting over, I decided to run with it. So now I'm calling this design my Jawbreaker nails because it totally reminds me of those big jawbreaker candy I used to get cavities from when I was a kid.
Products:
• Orly "Orlon Basecoat"
• China Glaze "White on White"
• Revlon "Revlon Red"
• China Glaze "Four Leaf Clover"
• OPI Ogre-the-Top Blue"
• Orly "Spark"
• Orly "Sealon Topcoat"
