Makeup Shopping Expedition (Mostly MAC Haul)
OMG I can't believe i've been in Lagos for almost a year!!!! I left Atlanta, june 28th 2011, and arrived in Lagos june 29th. WOW time flies. So before I moved back I bought a lot of stuff, hoping it would last me a really long time. I bought a bunch of makeup etc since we don't have MAC or Sephora or any of them. We have Sleek, mud, some other ones i've seen but have never tried.
Anyway as time went, so did my makeup. I had only one eyebrow pencil left (and then i lost it, and tried some ghetto horrible things). I've been out of mascara for several months. I have barely any false lashes. I lost my concealer brush.
Basically let's just say Ive been forced to the the "natural" look. So I decided to stock up!!! and stock up enough for another next year. So I wrote my list, bought it, and got my mum to bring it to Nigeria for me. My mum jokes I bought enough makeup to last not one but 2 years... maybe... we'll see :)
I forgot to add 2 more products to this picture
It doesn't look that much to me. I still need mascara!! and foundation, I'm almost out (well my foundation will last 4-5 months).
I bought sooooooo much powders. 2 different colors, cause sometimes I get tan, 2 different colors of concealers cause... I get tan. LOL anyways, this is my makeup haul. It's mostly MAC just out of habit. My sis bought me an affordable concealer brush from CVS i think or Target, and i got lashes from Forever 21 ( never tried it before i'm used to Shisem).
ps: Amanda if your reading this, I know my birthday was ages ago, But i'd like Mascara & that new foundation that MAC has :) thanks.
The Cargo (#40) is my FAVORITE powder out of all!!! I wish I didn't buy any thing else! It's amazing!!! prefer it to MAC. Wish I could trade it all for stacks of Cargo powder.
Decided to try two new shades of red & pinkAnd of course Eyeliners!!! I barely use eye shadow, but Im obsessed with dark eye liner.
You know what: I'll just write out the list I sent. lol U'll see.

WHOA, that's a truck load of makeup!!! Do you know you can get a mac pro card or something and u'd get 30% off.... hmmm #JustSaying like many makeup artists and shopaholics have it. I'm an Igbo girl sha, so best believe I found a great way to pay under that price of almost $500! Anyways didn't get 2 lipsticks so i got the Cargo instead AMEN!!! just the week I sent this list the only Cargo I had fell down in the office and cracked into a million pieces. In the future maybe as I use the products i'll take pics, and say what I used, but... this is now my makeup collection... though I feel i need more stuff.
Don't judge, guys... you never think that you have enough games, like girls never think we have enough clothes or shoes, and in this case... makeup. Ive started enjoying the natural look, and it's a mechanism to not get "hit on" when im moving from office to office (it's not a foolproof plan, but it's probably helped.) hahahaha not that I'm Beyonce or anything, i'd just rather avoid awkward situations.
