Hello Kitty Haul

Since my nearest MAC counter is always late when it comes to collection, I was happily surprised when they released the HK collection early. Unfortunately, I left my bank card that day and had to settle with using credit card. I got:

1. Tahitian Sand Beauty Powder
2. She Loves Candy Lipglass
3. Mimmy Lipglass (My nephew calls me Mimi, so I had to get this, good thing I loved the color)
4. On the Prowl lacquer
5. Fun and games blush

If I stick to my workout schedule, I will reward myself and go back on payday to get:

1. Lucky Tom
2. Tippy
3. Most Popular / Big Bow (still undecided)
4. Popster (maybe)
5. Milk Pigment (my first pigment)

HK Budget

What I'll probably get in the HK collection:

1 Beauty powder - $32

2 Blushes - $44

1 lipstick - $33

1 lipglass - $33

1 eyeshadow palette - $48

Brush collection - $58

So I'll probably spend around $250 with taxes. That's not bad because I won't be getting them all at the same time. I bet some of them will even be out of stock when I get there. =(

From the BBR collection:

Blonde MSF - $33.50

165 Brush - $41.00

226 Brush - $29.00

So that's about $115 with taxes. It's surprising because it's almost half of my HK budget and I wasn't even planning to buy anything from this collection, which makes it scary when I start reading reviews from HK.

Makeup Therapy

I've been pretty sad these past few months so I've decided to take some makeup therapy. Shopping always makes a girl feel better.

I can't wait for MAC's Hello Kitty collection which will come up this February. This highly anticipated collection will surely make my wallet cry (and all other Hello Kitty fans'). Different from HK's regular cute look, this collection will feature a sleek and fashionable HK. There will also be a couture collection, which will be released on a later date. The compact which retails 90 USD will be laden with Swarovski crystals. Who wouldn't want a compact with crystals? But this is too far from my reach. I'll settle with the lip gloss that has a keychain with Swarovski crystal (28 USD).

I am saving up for this but the Brunette, Blonde, Redhead collection will make quite a dent on my wallet too. I'd love to get my hands on the limited edition brushes and one of the mineralized skin finishes. But this collection has not arrived at my nearest MAC counter yet. It is one week late already but I guess this is to my advantage so I can hold on to my money a little longer (not that there's any point in doing so). I phoned the counter and they said that it will be out on Monday. I guess I can always go to the MAC store but then I wouldn't be able to get The Bay points.


I'm glad that I didn't go to the States on December or else I wouldn't have any money for these collections. I'll be blogging about my BBR haul when I get it. Check back soon!
