I got mail ;D

I think this week has been the best week ever for haulage. On Monday I got all that Urban Decay stuff etc. Yesterday, my 25pc Fraulein brush set arrived in the post - they are AMAZING and I can't wait to show you them. I just haven't taken pictures of them yet 'cause I think they need a big special post just to give the smallest bit of credit to how brilliant they are ;D. AND my order from Shopcraze.com arrived today! Here's what I got:



Three NYX Round Lipsticks in Circe, Strawberry Milk and Thalia, and a sample of MAC's Vanilla pigment. Swatch tiiime!

I've been so excited about the lipsticks since I ordered them which must've been a couple of weeks ago now (but the shipping was quicker than the estimate they gave me ^_^;). I love how different they all look in natural light or flash! They're all very creamy and moisturising without feeling greasy or oily.

Circe is a gorrrgeous nude colour, much much nicer than the oily GOSH 134, not chalky or drying like the Barry M 101, and not too pale like MAC Myth *glare*.




Strawberry Milk is the CUTEST bright bubblegum pink. Om nom nom, it looks good enough to eat!




Thalia is sort of like.. I don't know how to explain it. It's sort of a heathery pink colour I guess. The no flash picture doesn't do it much justice, it's really a lot nicer!




The MAC pigment sample is the first MAC product I've ever owned. Vanilla is definitely very pretty, I swatched it both dry and wet over UDPP but I can't tell much difference between wet and dry application. Can you?




So yeah, really pretty but I don't think I'd ever need to invest in a full size jar of a MAC pigment. The shopcraze sample was pretty generous, it says on their website that their samples are a 1/4 teaspoon but it looks more like a 1/2 teaspoon to me! I think I might just collect a range of different samples but like I said I don't think I'll never need a full size jar.

I leave you with my FOTD, featuring Vanilla pigment and NYX Strawberry Milk ;D
