My package from Winnie came today!

Monday, July 12, 2010

This totally made my day.  I won Winnie's first blog giveaway (Eleventh0fapril) last week, and my package was waiting in the mail for me this afternoon!  Quick shout out to Winnie- That shipped to me really fast!  I thought coming from Canada it might take longer, but not at all.  Thanks!
Anyway, I love everything I got even more than I thought I would.  I'm so stinkin' excited to wear it all.  :)

(MAC Lipglass in Pret A Papier- from the Pret A Papier collection, MAC Lustreglass in Lustrewhite, MAC eyeshadow in Haunting, MAC Impeccable brow pencil in Taupe, three pigments she added)

She was so sweet and also included three pigments.  The one directly beneath the MAC eyeshadow is actually this GORGEOUS blue/teal, that has flecks of gold and silver in it.  The two on the right are a bright yellow and blue.  Really pretty!  Thanks for these, Winnie!

Swatches for the eyeshadow/pigments:
(Top- blue/teal pigment, Haunting eyeshadow; Bottom- bright blue pigment, yellow pigment)
My camera really washed these out, unfortunately.  The pigments are incredibly... pigmented.  ;)

I'm in love with the color of Haunting.  It's like a light aquamarine, and it's one of MAC's  "Satin" finishes, which I've never tried before.  

The lip glosses I was probably most excited for.  Pret A Papier is just a beautiful burnt red- a color I've been trying to find a good shade of to suit my skin.  I love this.
The Lustreglass is just a clear gloss with tons of shimmer.  This will be great for my "I don't want to wear a lot on my lips" days.

I didn't do a swatch of the brow pencil; it's currently firming up, lol.  It's pretty warm today so while waiting in my mailbox for me, the package got a little heated.  It's no problem, though.  I just don't want to accidently smoosh the pencil!  It's a little light to use on my eyebrows, but I'm planning on using it as an eyeliner.  I don't have any "Taupe" eyeliners, so this will be good!

Thanks again, Winnie.  This was a great experience and I'm incredibly happy to have won your first giveaway :).

On an unrelated note, I just wanted to say how awesome it is to have finally hit 50 followers!  Thanks so much, everyone.  I finally showed my boyfriend the blog, and the first thing he said was that I needed to pluck my eyebrows in one of my pictures.  LOL.  Love him!
Hope you're all having a great day.
