Home and broke!!!

Hi girls,
I made it home from New York yesterday and I had an absolute blast. The weather was cold the first day or two and then it was freeeezzzzzing! But I didn't really feel the cold where I was - in the shops!!!

I asked my hubbie to take this photo for my blog - so I was thinking of you girls as I shopped in CVS!!!! Just spotted my notebook in hand - how sad am I!!!!

This blogging business has done me no good at all - as my shopping list was growing by the day with each blog that I read before I went. I think I brought home enough makeup and products to keep a small country looking good for at least a year!!

My camera is out of battery and I can't find the charger- probably still tucked up in a suitcase!! So I will give you a quick run down of some of the things I bought and will try to photograph them and upload them tommorrow. I can't wait to try out my new goodies and share my views with you all!!!

Some non-makeup shopping first:

• A tiffany charm bracelet - my Mam gave me dollars for Christmas so I thought it would be nice to actually have something good to show for my pressie. Also my hubbie can add to it by buying me charms for birthdays, anniversaries etc.... (hope your reading this Mr. C)


• 2 pairs of jeans, one 7 for all mankind and a rock and republic pair - bought in Century 21 at huge knock down prices!!!


• A cool new pair of sunglasses - all we need is the sun!!


• Not one but two guess bags - well they were so cheap it would be rude not to!!


• Victoria Secret Underwear - I just love this shop and no I won't be posting pictures - nobody wants to see that!-shirt


• Some funky vests, t-shirts and jewellery in Forever 21 - its a bit like a cheaper version of River Island!!

I also hit China town - am not sure how you all feel about buying fake goods but I don't mind. I do have a few genuine designer bags so I don't feel too guilty about buying the fakies! I got a Marc Jacobs Stam and a huge Louis Vuitton I would loooove these bags but my poor teachers wages would never stretch that far so now I have the next best thing!!!

Makeup Goodies:

• I hit cvs and got some brilliant Essense of Beauty brushes


• Milani eyeshadow quads - they were buy one get one half price


• Milani blushers and sunset duo


• 2 opi nailvarnishes - I cant believe they sell these in drugstores and are sooo cheap compared to home!


• 2 covergirl mascaras that Lisasz09 did a review of on youtube so will be doing my own little review here when I get a chance to try them out for a week or two!

The Mac Haul:
I got my Mac Pro card about 2 weeks before I left so I was only too thrilled to use my 40% discount (yes its 40% in the US!!)

I actually didnt make it down to the pro store, as I had bought so much makeup already I decided there was only so much makeup a girl could use and if I went to the pro store I knew I couldnt resist!! See I can be good!!!

So this is what I got:

• Empty eyeshadow palettes


• Empty blush palettes


• Blonde and Redhead msf


• the 3 new bbr brushes


• 8 of the 9 new eyeshadows - I didn't go for the Henna as I'm not into green and I already have Sumptuous Olive and have actually never used it!


• Fresco Rose paint pot


• 3 blushers in pan form - pinch o peach, dollymix and ....... am not sure (not a new blusher I just cant remember!!)


• Some pan shadows - will list them with photos tomm


• Brush cleaner


• Fix +


• 128 small eyeshadow brush

That's all I can think of for now- its enough!!! Will post a proper list of the makeup I got with photos tomm. when i'm thinking straight!
