My MAC Birthday Haul

I turned a year older today so I'd thought of treating myself with some MAC stuff (haha, what else is new ;P ). Anyways, before I went to the MAC store, I was in another store when I overheard a lady bragging to her friend about the MAC Hello Kitty tote that she got as a freebie. I knew that some MAC stores do give those away, but I wasn't sure that that was the case in all stores. So when I was inside MAC before I paid for my items, I asked the MA if I could have a tote, and she said of course!


It's so cute!

I noticed that I have a lot of limited edition MAC shadows, but I don't have much basic, neutral shadows from the permanent line. I was eyeing some MAC permanent shadows but was never able to get them. I finally snagged them today in convenient Pro pans so it's easy to place them in my 15-pan palette.



I don't have any plans of getting the Too Dolly palette from the Hello Kitty collection because I already have Romping (the bright purplish pink) and I have a bajillion mint greens in my makeup stash, so I just got a pro pan of Yogurt. It's a beautiful matte light pink that would be great as an all-over lid color. I was interested in Shale as well, a smokey dirty purple with sheen, and the MA said that it would go well with Yogurt (the latter on the lid and Shale on the crease), so I got Shale as well. And Wedge, well, I'd been lemming for it for ages, so I got that too.



Here is my new 15-pan palette with the newly depotted shadows. I still have space for the 100 Strokes, Rose Blanc and Brule, and that completes my 9th shadow palette. I get requests to feature my MAC eyeshadow collection, but I have already featured them in a previous post. Click the link below for detailed photos and information on the rest of my palettes.

I have yet to spend my birthday money though. Glad you got what you wanted. I just got Wedge recently too, and I think it's such a necessary color to have!
