Do you guys ever get the shake? You don't go out to even look at makeup, but as you are sitting at home in front of your computer, you start getting the shake? I've written about it once, but like a crack addict is to cocaine, Gloria is to makeup. When the package arrived, I nearly tore open the box right there in front of the mailbox. =P

I started looking at Etsy since normally on Etsy, there's so much different things, I end up not knowing what to get! This time, something was different. I really really wanted a nice jasmine based perfume. Jasmine is my favorite scent, flower, and tea in the world. Quick tip: did you know jasmine flowers bloom at night? Jasmine flowers are picked at night!

Juicy Watermelon Meets Hello Kitty

From The Office -

Angela: I'm not going into your house and stealing your Hello Kitty backpack.

So today I sat there at work and thought about the Hello Kitty order that I haven't made yet online. I then decided to just call Nordies and have them hold items I wanted since it is on the way home from work. A quick stop and $300 later, I have the following in my possession:

Lippies: Cute-ster and Big Bow (soo hot pink and neon!)

Lipglass: Mimmy (sheer and a tad coral), Fast Friends (sheer purple with shimmies), and at the last minute, I decided to also get She Loves Candy (a shimmery silvery pink)

Beauty Powder Blush: Fun & Games (they only had Fun & Games left, but I like the subtly of it)

Beauty Powder: Pretty Baby (soft pink with no shimmies)

Eyeshadow Palettes: Lucky Tom and Too Dolly

Brush set with Hello Kitty cup

I really couldn't make up my mind on which eyeshadow palette to get. I really planned on getting one, but both are sooo cute! I also snagged 2 brush sets, one for me and one for my sister. Her store was sold out so she texted me asking to get her one. I almost lucked out, but thankfully the sales girl dug one more out for me.

Overall, I'm pleased with the collection. The eyeshadow colors are REALLY fun and whimsical. The packaging is also a huge improvement over last year's Fafi collection. Last year the palettes, lipsticks, and everything just had stickers slapped on it, which a lot of people thought was cheapened the effect. Compared to this year's Hello Kitty collection, it really was cheap. The Hello Kitty palettes feels heavy in my palm, which makes it seem more worth the money. It feels like more thought and care was given to the packaging of all the items. Even the paper boxes have MAC and Hello Kitty on them!

If you love Hello Kitty, you must get something from the collection. It's worth it! Btw, I haven't swapped anything because well.. I don't want to touch my new makeup! I have this weird thing where I keep my brand new makeup in its packaging untouched and I just stare at it. It's not that I don't want to use it, but I just can't bear to touch it. =P So here's a bunch of pictures!
