Mini NARS Haul

About a week ago I received my NARS order in the mail but I was sooo into MAC's Venomous Villians release that I didn't really get to focus on my NARS purchase. The purchase includes 3 single eyeshadows, an eyeshadow duo and a blush.....

Commentary: I am in love with my entire purchase with the exception of California. I like it but I don't love it. It was broken when it arrived and that kind of upset me. There isn't a store I can return it to and it would take some time for me to send it back, I'd have to wait for NARS to receive it and then I'd have to wait for NARS to re-issue another one. I wouldn't mind going through that for an exchange but NARS doesn't have an exchange policy. They only do returns so I decided to keep it and make the best of it. ;)

Hope you guys enjoy!!!

Venomous Villians Mini-Haul

When you tell someone "Hey I went to the Venomous Villians unveiling.", their first question is:  "What did you buy?!?!?!?!" So here is my mini haul from the collection. I also picked up a few products that weren't included in the collection but they were on my "To get list".


From left to right: Violetta l/s, Sinister l/s, De-Vil e/s, Vainglorious e/s, Melon pigment, Revenge is Sweet l/g, and Wrong Spell l/g.
 Now I know I did swatches of virtually everything at the unveiling and it is in the previous post, I figured "WTH i might as well include them in here as well". So here is the swatches for these products:

From left to right: Melon pigment, Vainglorious e/s and
De-Vil e/s.


From left to right: Sinister l/s, Violetta l/s, Revenge is Sweet l/g and Wrong Spell l/g.
 Here is my non- VV collection purchase for that evening.....

From left to right: Cyber  l/s, Coppering e/s, Blacktrack Fluidline, and Diva l/s.
And here are the lipstick swatches:

From left to right: (excuse my cat Lady in the background) Diva l/s, and Cyber l/s.
I didn't swatch the fluidline but I'm sure we all know how great it is! I absolutely LOVE it! I don't know why but for a long time I was trying to stay away from gel liners. I broke down and sampled a few from ELF (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/) for $3.00 a piece. They were ok but I purchased the MAC Fluidline that night with the intent to do a look for one of my "Girls Night" outings.

 I'm sure you may have heard, De-Vil and Coppering.....= Dupes! See swatches below.
