MAC/Ben Nye/Forever 21 Haul

Ok, so yesterday I went to 2 different MAC stores, Norcostco, and Forever21. Most of you know that I live in Dallas, Texas, so the stuff I got was in or around the DFW metroplex. First, I went to MAC pro store in the Northpark Mall. I got two lipglasses (Liberated and Gold Rebel) and one eyeshadow (Vibrant Grape) from the Style Warrior Collection. I know you are probably thinking "why Vibrant Grape when it's a staple color?", I'm sure. Well, I like the packaging and I needed Vibrant Grape anyway. Not to mention I was not all that blown away by the other colors. I mean who doesn't have Tempting already? The Soft Force was nice and I am wondering will I have to make another trip to MAC but for right now I'm okay with my Vibrant Grape. I bought a 15 eyeshadow palette holder too. Needed that since I've been depotting all my pot shadows and putting them in my easy carrying palette.

After that I went to Norcostco (in the Wycliff district in Dallas Texas). That is my one stop shop for Ben Nye products. I got two colors (Chartreuse in the Lumi`ere

grande color and Orange pop in the Powder Rouge). I also bought a cream liner in Black since I ran out of my Fluidline in BlackTrack. So I'm giving the Ben Nye liner a chance. So far so good.

My boyfriend and I stopped for burgers at this one little place that sits on Lemmon Ave near the Oaklawn area. As we finished eating, I happened to look out the window and saw that we were right next to one of my favorite beauty supply stores..Lemmon Wigs!!! If you don't know anything about this store, let me give you a brief insight. Lemmon Wigs is so fun to me and most of my beauty and artistic needs. It sits so close to Oaklawn you could spit on it. For those of you who don't know, Oaklawn is a neighborhood populated by mainly gay people. They call it the "Gayborhood". So naturally Lemmon wigs caters to the drag queens in that area. They have fabulous jewelry, lashes, wigs, butt pads!!! You name it they should have it, if not they will look into it and will promise to order it. I've asked for things and come back the next weekend and they're there. So check them out. I LOVE THEM!!!

I came home and just was not all the way complete with my makeup buying extravaganza...so I went back to MAC. To keep from looking like a nerd and addict, I did what all normal people do....I went to another MAC pro store that is 26 miles away. I mean that really isn't far...really. So, I get to that MAC store and I had a major change of heart...kinda. I wanted 'Fierce and Fabulous' however, when I got on it, I saw that it was so similar to other things I have so instead I got 'Style Warrior'. I was still happy as ever because it had the zebra print top and a gorgeous color inside. So instead of 'Fierce and Fabulous' I got the lipstick that looks like the 'Fierce and fabulous' lipglass...Purple Rite. It is pretty and gives me that same great color. If I want more sparkle, I'll add some gloss or dazzleglass to it.

Finally, the best way to end a day like this was to "accidentally" end up in Forever 21. I found the cutest pair of earrings. I must have been super lucky but the perfect headband to go alongside those earrings was staring me in the face. I saw another pair I wanted but we didn't want to walk back tot he car to come back in, so you know that means I'll be back there really soon. Enjoy the pictures.
