MAC Haul and some jibber jabber

MAC Eyeshadow Haul

There can be nothing more mood uplifting then a makeup haul. Well, maybe travelling to exotic destinations comes first. Makeup haul, especially MAC haul definitely comes a very close second. The cute boy I am dating is also a smart boy and got into one of India’s best B schools this year. He moved about a week back and I have to say I am not handling the long distance thing well at all. I am whiling my time working super hard at office and moping about doing absolutely nothing at home. I hope it gets easier with time.

Today afternoon in a sudden moment of epiphany I realized I had spent the whole of Friday night and Saturday at one spot on my bed. I didn’t step out of my flat at all. And I usually can’t spend a moment at home on Fridays and Saturdays. I got up with a burst of energy and started clicking a lot of pictures for this blog.I have been ignoring writing for Makeup-Mantra  for a while now and its time to channelize some love here :) This week I have a lot of posts planned for you guys. Hope you have fun.:)

I had MAC vouchers for 3k and had gone shopping sometime this week for some retail therapy.I had so much fun at the MAC store. The girls at the MAC Koramangala store are super friendly and really patient. I love shopping there and inevitably end up spending  way more than I wanted to.

There is a very cute story behind how I got 3k MAC vouchers. So one fine day the boy dropped me as usual to my office and he went off to his, saying he had a lot of work that day. I too had a lot of work that day and by the time I could leave it was almost 8.30. He came around in some time to pick me up. I was in the mood for some Thai food and insisted we go for dinner at this restaurant called Magnolia. Usually he is very chilled out , but today he insisted we go to my place first and get dressed and then leave. That should have been my first clue that something was up but I guess I was too hungry to notice. I insisted more and we went to have dinner. We came back home very late and guess what I saw when I entered my living room. One wall full of gifts. Confused? He gift wrapped many gifts and stuck them all across the wall using some double sided tape. It was sooo much fun to look at. There were streamers and party hats all over the wall. It was soo much fun taking each gift from the wall. Among other things were were 2 MAC gift vouchers of 1500 each. I was over enjoyed. He has sneakily kept my flat keys with him  in the morning and he came back during his lunch time and shopped all across the city for gifts and decorated the wall ..all the while I was in office. It was beyond cute!!! And I had absolutely no idea. One of the best suprises of my life.

Anyhow after the long long story lets move on to what I got from MAC. I got 6 eyeshadows this time- Arena, Tete-Tint, Girlie, Smut, Woodwinked and Humid. I wanted to get Folie and Twinks as well but they didn’t have these in the refill pan. You can see how much I love neutral shades!! I will do a detailed post of each of them later on. Do let me know if you want me to post reviews ,looks and swatches of any of them first.

I so wanted to get some MAC blushes as well. I loved Desert Rose and Mocha at the store. Have you used any of them?
