Birthday Haul Part III [McQueen and Antiquitease]

[jilliandanica]

Went to the Antiquitease event at South Coast Plaza's MAC Pro store tonight for my birthday haul courtesy of my lovely bf hehe.

It was super crowded but we got all the help and refreshments we needed

McQueen:
New Vegas MSF
All 3 shadows
All 3 paint pots
Masque l/s
White Magic l/g
**I may go back for the kohl powers but not sure because I'm not completely in love with the colors.

Antiquitease:
Mi' Lady MES [The red is GORGEOUS

]
Queen's Sin l/s
Trifle l/g
Royal Assets Metallic Eyes palette [pre-order]

The brush sets are super pretty but I think I'd rather buy full-size versions of the brushes. I may end up getting the face set though just because I like the gold tweed clutch hehe.

Oh and White Magic and Trifle pretty much look the same. Truth of the matter is that I only intended on picking up Trifle because the MA said it has better color payoff, but I forgot to take White Magic off my list. The MA pulled it and my bf paid, I didn't realize until I got home that I forgot to take it off. One's going back and I think it's going to be White Magic.

Anyway...time to play with my goodies =)

Oh and I lloooveee my bf for my new goodies and for coming to the super crowded MAC event with me, he's a trooper

The red shadow is absolutely gorgeous! I tried it over crimsonaire ss and it made the red pop. I then put the purple shade in my crease and added a little Firespot. Really pretty for a sunset look. I'm still going to play around with it to figure out what else I can do with it. It was too gorgeous to pass up! The MA at the event also suggested using the red on my cheeks.

As for Trifle, it's very pretty. In the tube it is very similar to McQueen's White Magic but on it's different. Trifle is a white-pink with pink pearl so it's more opaque that White Magic. White Magic applies almost clear with white/silver pearl so it gives my lips a sheery shimmery gloss. I'm actually liking Trifle a lot better so White Magic may be going back...HTH!

I don't wear MAC foundation but I would guess I'm an NC40-42ish. I absolutely LOVE Queen's Sin. When I got home and put it on I was literally like this

haha. I layered Boundless 3D Glass over it and I loved it even more. It's a great holiday red. I will post swatches later today. The MSF is gorgeous...it gives me a nice glow. I have shimpagne and that usually makes look shiny/dewy but New Vegas definitely gives me a nicely lit glow. Try it...it'll look great on your cheek bones! HTH!

Yup, South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. If you park near Saks, it's on the first floor across from Shu Uemura! Have fun!

I live in Irvine too =)
All the MA's there are great but I love Cynthia and Rainy (sp?) but my favorite is Oscar (I think that's his name, I suck at names but he knows me by face haha). As for what to aim for...just go with it and be open-minded to what they suggest. HTH!

 

[melliquor]

Nice haul. I want the red e/s and lippie. They look hot.

 

[noangel]

thanks for your recommendations!
hope to make the most of my visit cos i'm only at UCI for a quarter and will go back to my home country in Jan and there're no pro stores there!
