A haul/tug of sorts

Due to personal reasons my hauling days have been few and far between this year which is good and bad. Good because the reality is that I don't NEED anymore makeup, I have plenty. Bad simply because I have a shopping problem so I've been having withdrawals. I did however purchase 1 item from the most recent Urban Decay F&F sale although I actually ordered a lot because I owed my sister some money (we trade hair products/services for makeup instead of money) but I wasn't able to get any pictures of her haul but I can say she got some great stuff. The same day that I took her her package of goodies she asked if we could go to Mac so of course I agreed since it had been months and even if I wasn't going to spend money (I really tried) I could shop vicariously through her right?

Again she got lots of goodies but no pics. I just finally mentioned that I have a blog although I won't tell her the URL maybe in a few more months I'll tell her about my YT channel and then convince her to make vids with me or at least do some hauls since she always has great ones.

Here are the few items that I did get. I never buy full size pigments but we decided to split these since they were just too good to pass up.

The one thing that I was in need of is a new highlighter since the one I currently have is getting low and I didn't realize it was Limited Edition when I bought it. Of course there was not a single MSF dupe for the one I have (MSF Duo in Med/) but leave it to my "new boyfriend" (total inside joke) to find something perfect for me. Totally nothing like what my current highlighter looks like but this one looks way better on me, at least when he put it on me (I think I need whatever brush he used). Even my sister commented on it which mean we both had to have one since she too was in need of a highlighter and we're about the same shade, kinda. I would have never looked at Belightful and thought it was a highlighter but it is perfect and I really love the little gold flecks that it has. I know some people hate any sparkle but I personally love it. Kinda reminds me of a fairy and I LOVE faeries.

I only got 1 for myself but I wanted to try and capture the sparkle which is why there are 3 pictures below. The best part is that it is a perm product so I don't have to freak out when I hit pan on this one. I can honestly say that this is the first Mac compact I've ever had. I do wish I could put it in a palette but oh well I still love it.

Then my new "boyfriend"/MUA, who is always showing me stuff I don't need, decided to tell us that one of his favorite highlight eye shadows is Dreammaker from the Starflash collection. As soon as he showed us we both knew that we NEEDED it so I ask for 2. Sadly they only had 1 left but I he gave me the tester since they were now sold out and there was no need for it. All I need to do is douse (spray lightly) it with some 91% alcohol and voila its germ free and free. Can't really ask for more right? It really is a gorgeous color and although used a few times I know its going to last me ages. Maybe I'll hit up the CCOs soon for a back up, who knows.

So there is my latest little "tug." Oh and since we were there he showed me another upcoming collection (can't remember the name and I can't find it on Temptalia either - it's not HiDef or DSquared or Style Black - that was in back and now I have 2 lipsticks and 2 glosses on presale hold. Damn him for knowing what I like!

Thats it for now. I think I need to spend a few hours depotting soon so that I can B2M and not have to pay for all of my presale items.
