Back in Michigan & MAC goodies!

*Shout out to iAMminky3 : I can't comment on your blog!  :'(  When it gets to the word verification, it doesn't give me a box to type it! :'( 


I'm back in Michigan.  

That means no more of this...

this...

Or this... 

My 8 lb monster dog, Grendel

There were so many things that looked super exciting in MAC's A Tartan Tale collection... but I agree with the people who said the swatches/trying it in person was disappointing.

I only bought ONE thing from the A Tartan Tale collection...

Things that I did buy, though!!

4 new eyeshadows:  Goldmine, Idol Eyes, White Frost, and Juxt 

FYI:  I have a ton more MAC eye shadows than this... I just used to buy everything in the individual container because I thought it stayed cleaner.  Now I'm alllll for palettes & I refuse to buy any more singular eyeshadows... they are too hard to find when you're looking for a specific color!

And the other things I bought?  Lip products or "lippies" as ya'll call it!

The only thing I bought from A Tartan Tale!  MAC Dazzleglass Creme "Soft Dazzle" and I lurveeee it.  It's the first Dazzleglass I've owned!

Spice is Nice cremesheen

The lipliner is not pictured, but the color is "Spice"-- to match the lipstick, obvi!

I'm hopefully going to do a Youtube video tomorrow.  One of you brought up a good point that I would like to discuss further! Besides, it's been a while since I've made a fool of myself on the internet (or has it? you tell me).

New GiftsfromExBfs and MAC "A Tartan Tale" Lust

" Well, helloooo there ;)  " to my new subscribers!   Welcome to my nonsense!  I'm guessing you like shoes, too!

I have another blog, and I will start updating it more frequently.  Let's just say that I have a lot of "material" with which to work... har har har.  Check it out!

Also, I have yet to take a picture of my new 'do, but I fell ill a few days ago and continue to be sick... so I haven't actually bothered to style it since it was cut.  AKA my hair is naturally afro-curly AKA you can only see the real "haircut" when I straighten it which is not happenin' right now!  FAIR?  FAIR!

So the new MAC "A Tartan Tale" is super exciting!  I suddenly feel more Scottish than ever!  I might have to break out my kilt & bagpipes.  JK about the kilt.

Here are some of my faves from the collection (from what I can tell online), and I'm going to the mall tomorrow to hopefully verify and purchase!

LOTD from ME?!?!

Above: taken with a nice camera, aka has a better flash

Stephanie told me to post a "LOTD" and I do whatever she tells me to, per usual.

Condo: Design Projects & New touch-free soap dispenser!

Here are some paint projects on which I've been working!  The before and FINAL pictures will be in my next post, because I don't have the end product pics yet.  These are all still in progress, YOU SEE??!?

SORRY. 

But not really because I do what I want.

The top half of my antique pie chest:

(After 2 coats I think)

Ugly metal utility boxes:

Step 1:  Dust!  Step 2: Metal primer

1 coat of paint.  My paint color is called "French Roast"

3 Coats: still damp, but much better looking!

Aaaaaaand I'm sewing orange pillows for my blue corduroy couch!  

BUT NO, don't think I'm being thrifty by sewing my own pillows.  I spent hundreds... of dollars on this fabric.  The fabrics are textured weaves (we're not talking about hair pieces, here) and they are GREAT! 

Bonus points for my nails happening to match my fabric!  I dk why the lighting makes my hands/the fabrics look slightly more red than they actually are.

-The shorter trim is going to be on circle fabric which will be made into large square pillows ( 22" x 22" )

-The longer trim is going to be on small rectangular pillows with the geometric print.

And I bought a new soap dispenser to try out: it's lysol and it's no-touch!  Super excited about this!

Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System!  You can find it all over, but I got mine  from Sam's Club and it came with 2 soap refills!

I'll let ya'll know what I think-- I'm very picky when it comes to hand soap.  Can't wait to try it out tomorrow (I'm not at home today!)
