Some new things: Hitting the sales

A I mentioned in my earlier post I have been on a little shopping spree and I got some new stuff. My main goal was to check out the summer sales but I also went to the local MAC counter.

From Left to Right: Beautiful Iris, Amber Lights and Steamy

The first place I went to was MAC and I picked up three eyeshadows, Amber Lights (Frost), Beautiful Iris ( Veluxe Pearl) and Steamy (Frost). There wasn't any sales at MAC at least I don't think so.
Steamy was an impulse buy because I loved the way it looked when I swatched it on my hands. When I came home I felt that it was similar to Parrot a MAC eyeshadow that I already own, but there is more green in Steamy.


After my visit to the MAC counter I saw that the Smashbox counter had a little sale going on and amongst the small number of items I found the Self Adjusting Powder Foundation for 50% off.
I have been looking at this before but I felt it was a little bit too expensive for what you get so I never picked it up. The SA mentioned that it was on sale because they were discontinuing it. I picked up the shade Light L3-L4 and for reference I have the shade NC20 at MAC.



My last stop was NK a luxury department store here in Sweden. They always have great sales in their beauty department and you can find high-end brands for 40-50% off. I picked up two things at the department store, a Shiseido lip gloss for 40% off and a great bargain, a Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick for 50% off.

The lipgloss from Shiseido is a white golden shimmer gloss and it is called G29 Mellow Gold. This doesn't give much color on the lips but I think it will look nice layered on top of lipsticks and too give the lips some sparkle.

Finding the Rouge Allure lipstick for 50 % off completely made my day. The lipstick is gorgeous and it is in the color 59 Nude. It looks great on the lips and feels great to it feels like a better version of the Lustre lipsticks from MAC.

If you happen to have a NK department store near you I definitely recommend that you check out their sales. There are some great items in the stores right now.
