I wanted to share with you two of the new Wet N Wild lipsticks. I have not been able to find them in any of the stores in my area. Apparently the people who live here either bought them all or the company does not seem to think anyone here would like them. Since there were none to be found here, a lovely friend sent these to me.
Here is what the packaging looks like. I do not like it. The product
cannot be wound down any lower meaning some sticks out. Because of this,
you can hit it with the cap causing waste of product as well as a mess!

Pinkerbell - Don't Blink Pink
May I just say I love both of these colors. At first I only wanted Pinkerbell, but after having the opportunity to get Don't Blink Pink, I am so glad I said yes! It is truly a pretty color. Pinkerbell is similar to MAC Viva Glam Nicki, so I would say pick up some of these if you love Nicki because it is limited edition.
What do you think of these lipsticks? I am contemplating picking up Coral-ine and Rosebud. What other colors would you suggest?
Now is the time to have a serious heart to heart, kinda. By now you may have found out - and I feel quite guilty about it - that I have totally smashed my 100 day no-buy. I was doing really well, making a list of everything I liked. Then all of a sudden *BAM* I was overcome with this urge to purchase stuff. I was not feeling well emotionally. I have been quite stressed lately and I wasn't dealing with life well. I take full responsibility for my actions, and am trying to correct them.
I wanted to be honesty with everyone who reads my blog. Reading some blogs can get you do. It seems like everyone is so perfect and happy. Always. That is just not the case. Everyone has good and bad days. Bad habits and wonderful success. I don't blame people for only wanting to share the good. But sometimes, it is better to be honest to your readers, your friends, instead of ignoring a big part of your day, life, self. This is why I feel that I -HAVE- to share this with you. When all my packages arrive I will probably do a collective haul or something. Some things will be from before the no-buy. (I promise I didn't go -that- crazy)
But today, with all of that behind me, my credit card hidden, and a plan to fix and start saving again I want to share with you my first ever MAC purchase. I had been lusting over a few of this for a long time and just cracked and went out immediatly to see them in person, and subsequently take them home with me. I went in with a limit of 100$. I refused to spend anymore than that. I did good. I came out 60$ poorer and 4 lipsticks richer. I picked up:
Viva Glam Nicki -bright yellow pink Watch Me Simmer -bright pink-orange Impassioned -amped-up fuchsia Vegas Volt - full power coral

I am overall happy with my purchase. I am not sure if Nicki looks good on me, but I am ok with that because the money goes to a good cause. I really like Vegas Volt. I am pretty sure that OCC Lip Tar in Grandma is a dupe. Impassioned is a very pretty color and I think I may have a dupe for that as well. I wanted Watch Me Simmer from the MAC COOK, MAC SHOP(?) collection and missed out so I scooped it up this time.

What do you think of the colors I chose? Have you ever just kinda lost your mind when it comes to purchases?
