HK necklace and MAC shopping

My Hello Kitty necklace that I posted about here has finally arrived. It is very well-made – I’m impressed by the packaging and the workmanship. I think I’m going to wear it without the little flower charm, as it looks a bit too teeny-boppy on me otherwise. This was an impulse buy – I usually prefer timeless and elegant accessories – and I may end up saving it for my daughter. But for now, it makes me happy to look down and see my HK pendant – she’s so cute and I love her pink bow!This past Friday I went to MAC and picked up some items that had been on my wishlist for a while. I’ve updated my MAC collection list here. I bought 2 lipsticks – Angel and Creme d’Nude. Creme d’Nude is the exact shade as Myth, but is creamy rather than drying. To be honest, I didn’t need it – I mainly bought it because it usually sells out so quickly, and the store finally had it in stock. It is a lipstick that I’ll have to layer with a rosier colour – it doesn’t look good on me straight out of the tube.Angel (pictured on me above) is a beautiful pink-ish shade. It’s pretty popular because it’s Kim Kardashian’s favourite lipstick. I am totally in love with this colour – especially when layered over MAC Spice lip pencil. The lipstick is pretty long-lasting – but applying it over the lip liner makes it stay even longer.I also picked up 2 eyeshadow brushes – 239 and 217. I asked people to recommend their favourite MAC brushes to me – and these 2 were the most popular. The 239 is good for applyinig colour on the lid, and the 217 is good for blending. Previously, I’d been using gift-with-purchase Lancome brushes and Revlon brushes – and let me tell you- it makes SUCH a difference using these MAC brushes. Colours go on richly and evenly…it’s so true that make up application is better when you have the right tools!
