Manish Arora Swatches!

I came home today and my little black box was waiting for me at my apartment's office! Don't you love getting packages in the mail? I opened it up and oh my goodness! Even the packaging is sooo beautiful! MAC's Manish Arora collection sold out the same day it was released online, but I was lucky enough to get the eyeshadow palette, blush in Devil, and lipglass in Pink Manish! I'm really sad that I didn't get the rest of the lippies because I really wanted them all!


The boxes are amazing!


what's inside is even better! LOL the palette has these cute little heart shaped gems on it.




even the inside of the boxes had the prettiest designs!

On to the swatches...


L to R: Nylon, Going Bananas, Bitter, Playful, Electric Eel, Deep Truth

I was debating swatching because omg it just looked so pretty I didn't wanna mess it up! LOL I was thinking how great the eyeshadows will look with a base underneath! At first the lipglass looked really bright fuschia and I wasn't sure if I could pull it off but after comparing it to Pink Poodle it's really not that bad. Ahh MAC! You hurt my wallet. haha


Please excuse my face, but I was just wondering if I look weird with my hair like this?



I tried to cut my bangs and I messed up but the Hubby said I look ok like this but one of my friends say I don't! haha I'm really insecure about my head because I have a big forehead! This is why I've had bangs for the last 2-3 years! But IDK whatever!

MAC for Manish Arora

MAC has more collections coming out than my wallet can keep up with! I got this in my email after I got out of class this afternoon and since a few things were already sold out, I had to get it! I was kind of mad because I asked the MUA at the MAC freestanding store if it would come out online because it wasn't coming out anywhere near me and they told me no! Lo and behold this email! Then while I was debating whether or not to get one of the lispticks, it would refresh and tell me it was SOLD OUT! =[ So before I got debate on the Palette I bought it. LOL If anything I'm sure I could sell it to someone if I changed my mind.





Isn't it gorgeous? I can't wait for it to come in! I was only able to get this, the blush in Devil and the l/g in Pink Manish. I realllly wanted Kiss Manish l/s but it was already sold out! =[ Owell I should be happy I got any!\
