Karlasugar's Contest Prizes!

Sorry I haven't been updating much; had a lot of College work to do. Thought I'd update on my contest prizes that I received;

I won a contest from Karlasugar's MAC Liberty London Giveaway! I chose Ever Hip lipstick and Shell Pearl beauty powder as my prizes!

Here is a dorky picture I took via webcam

Will take swatch photos etc tomorow in the sunlight.

Petals, and Peacocks, and Pan

I bought MAC's Amplified Petals & Peacocks lipstick today from the Liberty London collection for the insane UK (plus tax) price of £12.50. That's nearly $20.

Anyway, you've probably already seen 5000x different pictures in other blogs and websites, but I'll just quickly skim through;

Outer Packaging

Go on, tell me more about what you're wearing...

Fuschia

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You all realise that I'm totally wanting an awesome fuschia lipstick, right?

What brought on this lemon? (Yes.. I'm calling stuff I want lemons now.. )

THIS BABY;

C'mon.. you must admit -regardless whether or not you like makeup that those lips and its colours are pretty damn gorgeous. Orgasmic I would say. Actually, I think Orgasm would be an awesome name for that lipstick (C'mon, NARS has a blush called 'Deepthroat' AND 'Orgasm' AND 'Super Orgasm' stfu)

So yeah, I've been looking at really bright hot pink/fuschia lipsticks, actually, would you like to see my lipstick colour lemons? Here's a list for you;

• MAC Show Orchid - Amplified Creme
• MAC Girl About Town - Amplified Creme
• MAC Lickable - Cremesheen
  
• MAC Angel (or Cremme de la Femme) - Frost
• MAC Lustering - Glaze
• MAC Sweetie - Glaze
• MAC Plumful - Glaze

Swatches of the colour can be found here at; Karlasugar's MAC lipstick swatch

OK, admittedly there's like three other colours I didn't list there but I didn't want to list it anymore :( I mean MAC's lipsticks retails for about £12.50 ($20)
However in the U.S. they retail for $14. (£9!!!!!)

F U UK!!! For over-pricing everything, Goddamnit! But yes.. you can bet I'm waiting for a MAC sale (if it ever happens..) Sad panda. Maybe I can shimmy one or two for my birthday...

Oh, and just thought I'd mention.. there's something about makeup that makes me happy. I don't know why it does, it just does....

FML, and I wrote on MUA that I wouldn't buy MAC lipsticks anymore because they were overpriced and easily dupped - I am such a sucker.

Anyway, going to tidy my room now.. need to make room for my vanity - and do some damn College homwork!!!



Btw, I still am really tempted to buy this; Motorised Walking AT-AT the size of a small cat? Yes please.

I think Makeup is Depressing me

Fo realz.

I have two tabs opened right now with MAC's limited Edition Hello Kitty lipstick in 'Strayin;'

And MAC's lipstick 'Girl About Town;'

Both of these are colours I cannot and never will find at the normal MAC store found in Frasiers, Glasgow because Hello Kitty was a limited edition collection sold around I think 2009? So right now they're very hard-to-get and pricey (It's £14.99...) and my MAC store is TEENY so it won't be in that store.. oh, and not to mention this lipstick is £9.99 compared to RRP or £12.

So now here's the dilemma; do I buy them now or wait next month?

You may say 'they'll still be there, don't worry. Save-up and just wait,' but that's the problem! Remember, these are limited edition and could be 'while stocks last' so this may be the only time and/or last time I'll be able to purchase these! Please don't tell me about eBay - that place is riddled with fakes.

I feel so damn guilty.. I already bought £20 worth of brushes last night.. they were Sonia Kashuk brushes, £20 reduced to £5 anybody could tell that it was a bargain and if I don't like them I suppose I could always swap them? (SpaceNK Winter Sale. Up to 50% off)



But it's totally besides the point.. I feel ashamed of myself, but my heart wants these things so bad and I don't know why. Why do I like makeup so much when I used to not care in wasting my times with these girly lavishness for the majority of my life?
I guess it's because it's finally gotten to me - for the past 18 years of my life going bare-faced, un-caring whether or not I look healthy or sickly and actually many people ask why I look so pale and ask if I'm OK..

Yes, I am not a pretty sight. Pretty much your average, typical gamer with no fashion sense whatsoever, and maybe that's it! Maybe that's the reason! I've not been feeling exactly feminine you know, with my manlyishness whilst gaming (I yell at the screen, I shout, I roar, I swear.. I'll give you more details about that in other entries) and the fact that I usually wear t-shirts and jeans when I'm out.. not you know.. pretty clothes and accessories with uber done-up hair that other girls have. They obviously make an effort.

I don't. I'm lazy. I don't know what to do with my long hair other than tie it-up in a ponytail.

Makeup for the time makes me happy, satisfies me... I admire it, I love observing the colours, the undertones.. it makes me feel feminine - something about myself I've been missing in my life.
And there's nothing more a girl wants than to look physically appealing. Or pretty - I like looking pretty.

....And I still don't know whether or not I should buy those lipsticks.

[EDIT] The boyfriend spoke; I am not allowed to buy them. Oh.. at least they're pretty to look at..
