Hello, My name is Laura and I'm a Hello Kitty Addict

(MAC Hello Kitty Bracelet, Hello Kitty Lipglass Nice Kitty, Tinted Lip Conditioner Popster)

(MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer NW25, MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation with SPF 15)

Why must this line be so darn cute? I have to admit this is my favorite collection hands down! Seriously though I think this will be my last major collection haul until maybe the Sugarsweet Collection...*crosses fingers* Oh but wait Hello Kitty Kouture comes out in March so...I digress I'll be getting that collection as well. Swarovski Crystals and Hello Kitty in a cute compact? Plus 2 super cute dazzleglasses with Hello Kitty Charms??? I'm in Hello Kitty heaven! LOL I'm hoping the refills from the Monogram Collection will fit the HK Kouture compact. I can't resist! ^_^

I was at the mall with the hubby and my lips were chapped and of course I forgot my lip balm. So what do I see??? a MAC store...I think well why not get a lip conditioner...and bam! I'm hooked! Of course the mua asks if I've seen the new HK line and I notice on display there is the HK bracelet...and it's really cute! So I picked that up as well as Popster lip conditioner and Nice Kitty l/g which I have to admit it looked really bright but actually went on pretty toned down. I remember watching the reviews on the new Studio Sculpt line from the Well-Defined Collection and thought I'd try it out. The reviews have been pretty positive and I am looking for something a little on the lighter side instead of using my MAC Studio fix fluid all the time. So the mua color matched me with The Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC 30 which is surprising because I thought I was an NC35 and she gave me an NW25 for the Studio Sculpt concealar. I'm going to try this out tomorrow. Hope you all had a great weekend! ^_^ xoxo

Last night my after finishing my MAC HK Haul video I realized I was missing something. I noticed a few girls from YT had these cute HK bags with their orders. Now you all know how I am all about MAC so I have to admit I was really bummed about not getting it especially since I had preordered my stuff and usually the girls are really good about including things like that with my order. I called the MAC store's manager and she told me her location as well as other SF bay area stores didn't get them and wouldn't be getting them. In my head I'm like no offense but that's a bunch of BS especially since I know of some fellow YouTubers living in the bay area who got these bags.

Needless to say I decided to call up another MAC store I'm a regular at and they told me they would hook me up. I was so impressed on how they handled things I decided to bring my mom with me since I knew she wanted to get a bunch of items. (My mom is just as MAC crazy as me, she was the one who got me into MAC in the first place) I went to my usual MAC mua and my mom ordered like over $200 worth of products. (Just goes to show you that if you treat your customers right you will get more business/incentives)

My hubby then asks me what I want for V-day I told him I just got the HK stuff and I'm happy with my purchases. He then tells the MAC mua to please get me what I whatever I want. So me and the mua gawk at him for a second then she tells me "Girl you're so lucky your hubby spoils you" so I then go off with the mua to pick out some stuff. Meanwhile I didn't realize my hubby took off. Once we were ready to checkout he popped back into the store and bought me my items I noticed he was holding a couple of boxes. As we left the store I opened the boxes and inside were 2 Hello Kitty dolls he made from Build a Bear. I was so touched! he knows how much I love Hello Kitty (I've been obsessed with Sanrio since I was 9) When I asked him if he was embarrassed to do that, he told me he wasn't the only guy doing that but that there was a bunch of guys making plush dolls for their wives and girlfriends so he felt more at ease. He is so sweet and I really appreciate him taking the time and effort to do all of this for me. I'm truly a lucky girl!

I just want to say thank you to my wonderful husband for my beautiful gifts...gift or no gift you mean the world to me and I love you so much. Happy Valentine's day baby!

I finally got a day off to pick up my stuff from MAC. The girls at the store were kind enough to hold stuff for me ^_^ I can't tell you how excited I am that MAC collaborated with Sanrio! It would be so amazing if they did other characters too like Little Twin Stars, My Melody, Chococat, and the retired Tuxedo Sam. I hope you all were able to pick up something from the collection. The packaging on this collection was amazing! Far better than the Dame Edna collection. In fact this collection is so cute I may end up going back to MAC for more. ^_^

I was asked to show my collection of MAC paint pots and thought I would put it up on my blog. I picked up 6 more today (Delft, Moss Scape, Fresco Rose, Rubenesque, Constructivist, and Indianwood) as I wanted to expand my collection, I have to admit these are so much better than the MAC paints because you can control the amount you use plus you don't waste your product unlike the tubes of paint a small squeeze and you waste so much. I wish I was able to get the 2 that came with the Alexander McQueen Collection and Fafi's Girl Friendly. I can't wait to try out my new ones. Stay tuned! ^_^

Rainy Day Blues

Doh!! It figures my one weekend where my hubby and I are free and guess what the weatherman says...RAIN!! Well it looks like a pizza and movie night for us. Oh well..I figured I would play a bit more with my makeup and try to practice the art of pigment LOL I used MAC Rollickin' paintpot, MAC Pigments (pressed) in Mutiny (Inner Lid), Bell Bottom Blue (Outer lid), and Dark Soul (outer V) with MAC #7 Lashes

Green with Envy

Inspiration comes from anything...mine was a hater..LOL Funny how I thrive on people that challenge me. At any rate I thought I would play around with my pressed pigments (they are so much easier to use than the loose form) and I came up with this. I used MAC Paint pot in Blackground as my base and MAC Pigments in Old Gold (Lid), Vintage Gold (inner lid), Steel Blue (outer v) and the highlight from my coastal scents neutral palette with #7 MAC Lashes.

All that Glitters (ELF and CS Shimmer Palette)

So I thought I would try something a little different for this entry. My subbies have been asking me for a long time to do tutorials but I have to admit I am too camera shy. So the next best thing I can do is do some looks and share it with you all. What I used for this look is ELF's eyeshadow stick in smoke for the base. I then used the bronze shimmer color from the Coastal Scents shimmer palette on the inner to mid lid. I used the black shimmer e/s from the CS shimmer palette to the outer V and a light gold highlight. I then added Black track fluid line and ELF Diamond lashes. I'm still in the midst of playing around with different looks but I hope to post more soon!

Only a few more weeks till MAC's Hello Kitty line!! I'm so excited!!
