I Went OVERBOARD Haul....

I Went OVERBOARD Haul....

OMG!!! I really really didn't mean to....I swear!

As you may know, there are three new MAC collections out right now for July (oh and one upcoming one at the end of the month) - In The Groove, Haute and Naughty and Alice and Olivia.




Of course I had to get the Haute and Naughty Lash Mascara...because I loved it when I tested it!

And then oh la la la...Alice and Olivia brought me some super nice pigments.

And the kicker was In The Groove (which I have been calling In The Grove - silly me). I got almost everything. The mineralize eyeshadows are so much softer and more pigmented than in past collections. And they are more of a satin finish rather than frosty. If you are tan at all (NC30/NW35 or darker) then these eyeshadow colors will look fab on you skin.

I'll do full reviews and swatches coming up!

  6. I got 2 of the eyeshadows last week at the PRO store and the pink blush, going today for the rest of the stuff, I am really feeling the e/s this time around they have a much nicer finish than the ones they had before. I have so many that I don't even touch. Can't wait for the haul

  8. I just got home from see these two collections and I didn't really fall in love with them and I thought that I would. I had plan to buy a ton of stuff from both collections but nothing really moved me. I am dying to see what you do with the eye shadows. I had planned to buy most of them but I decided not to buy any of them.

  9. Hahahah!! I went to our MAC store here (Cayman Islands) also and restricted myself to just one Mineralize Shadows from the collection- Making it Easy. Funnily enough, I wasn't that impressed simply because I have SOOOOOO much makeup already and play with makeup as much as you do but I will "live my shopping" through you. I know you'll do those colors and looks justice.

  13. After my mini haul at the pro store last week, I took my much needed vacation day today to hit up a free standing ... I caved on my no buy of Partylicious! I know I said I was only going to snag samples of it, but I couldn't help it. And I picked up By Candlelight even though I passed when it launched with Warm & Cozy. But I'm glad to see you hauled more than I did ... makes me feel better about my spending habits ;)

  14. It was killer guys! They had everything in stock and had quite a few Stereo Roses. I thought I would have to sell my first born to get one but I was in luck.

    I can't wait to get home and play with them some more. The eyeshadows were really beautiful I couldn't stop myself. You guys just wait until you see the swatches. HEAVEN! And they are super soft and apply well. They weren't sher on me at all and I applied them dry so...

  15. Hey Kim! It was the MAC at the Smithhaven mall. I hope u get a Stereo Rose since that seems like the big seller based on reviews and it sold out on the websites in a about a hour. The two colored pigments are fabulous! Great new pigments to come out with. The light pigment is like Pink Opal so no big deal there.

  16. Sounds good Tysh! The eyeshadows are so much better this time around. You can tell that I was impressed.

    Too bad Vixxan! I'm the opposite, I didn't intend on buying any of them and they really surprised me. You'll see once I swatch them why I got them. Maybe the next collection is for you...

  17. LOL Olivia! Why am I feeling like I'm the only one that was thrilled with this collection? Do u guys know something I don't?? I'll be having fun tonight!

  18. That's not fair Amy! U r supposed to be my partner in crime telling me it's ok that I went crazy! Now I'm wondering if I was blinded by the MAC glow! :)
    Good call on the Partylicious pigment!

  19. It's more than ok that you went spending crazy! I'm just glad this time around it was you and not me LOL

  20. I got all of Alice + Olivia, except 2 of the lacquers. I got one lipstick (Go For It), one blush (Hang Loose), and one MSF (By Candlelight)from In the Groove. I could have gotten Stereo Rose, but I passed on it.. It just wouldn't have worked for me! I got 3 Dazzle Lipsticks from DigiPops as well. Naughty You, Hot Sass, and Smash Hit. They are ah-ma-zing! I really want more of them, but I'm squirreling money away for Dare To Wear, Fab Felines, and Disney Villains. I swear, I'm just getting a couple things from each.

    I agree, the shadows were GORGEOUS!! I was so impressed by the texture and pigmentation. They were so different from MES of the past. I didn't get any though, because I've got soooo many shadows already, that I probably have dupes for almost all of them.

    I took a bunch of pics today, comparing the A+O pigments to different things I've heard referred to as dupes. I will put them on my blog later tonight, after it cools off a bit!

    Honestly, I have to say, MAC planned this release so well.. After being denied any new collections for so long, I think everyone just went insane with everything, instead of just a couple items.. Withdrawals LOL

  23. "In The Groove" is a classic Madonna song and this collection has classic repromotes so the name fits really well I am excited to see all of your swatches
