Yeah its gonna be a lots of treats, but so what why not.
I have a MAC palette for eye shadows and its kinda lacking to say it nicely. Yeah it holds the shadows, its thin and holds quite a few.

I love plush lash from MAC. I know its over priced for a mascara you have to chuck in the trash in 3 months but it separates and gives me volumes. So I know there are lots of girls and some boys that swear by the mascara they get at the drugstore.
So I picked this up hoping that I would be able to replaced plush Bluestar's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13397324115689797722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651603039932639824.post-67848782335834685082011-02-10T08:00:00.025-05:002011-02-10T08:00:26.870-05:00Back to MAC Haul

I think of it more like your reserve wine. You know the kind you always have on hand for when something good happens. If you pick your poison and it isn't alcohol maybe try this OPI polish.
Its one of the designer series and a pain in the backside to find. I only seem to find it at Ulta and only very limited shades.

Well I normally don't consider it a sample unless I can get a good use if not two out of it.

Its not for the leery. Well at least the pocketbook for sure. I thought a lot about purchasing this one since it was $12.50. Yeah not cheap. Especially since I don't like to spend over 5 bucks max. Since I love to get new polishes, I get coupons where ever I can to make it under the 5 dollar limit.
