I totally stayed up last night after the clock past midnight to peek a glimpse at the M.A.C. site (it's been recently redesigned all Flash-y like btw) to oogle at the HK collection some. What sucks is that I'm currently too broke right now to add to my gargantuan makeup collection -- I really need to be looking for a new car, haha. Eh. OK, that's not that funny at all.

OMFG.

So the other day I was checking through Temptalia (a great resource for my fellow high-end makeup junkies by the way) and I noticed something wonderful. Something fabulous. The words 'Hello Kitty' and 'M.A.C.' very close to each other. M.A.C. Cosmetics has officially released, as of last week in stores and counters, the Hello Kitty collection. There will also be a three-piece special edition Swarovski-encrusted Kitty Kouture collection available in March. I'm totally willing to blow $90+tax on the compact. It's refillable like all of the other compacts. So excited for the month of March now. What's this you say? It's too expensive? Pretentious? No.

IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING GODSEND, I SAY.



From WWD:
"The Hello Kitty offerings fall into two collections: the Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. The bulk of the items are in the former category: six shades of lipstick with names like Fashion Mews and Strayin’, each $14; six Lipglass shades, each $14; and two tinted lip conditioners, $14.50 each; two eye shadow palettes, which each contain four shades and retail for $38; two shades of pigment are $19.50 each, and two Reflects Glitter stockkeeping units — one blue, one pink — are $17.50 each. Four Glitter Eye Liners, each $16.50, two shades of Beauty Powder, each $22; three shades of nail polish, each $11; a black mascara, $12, and false lashes, $12, round out the color offerings. Shades range from pinks and turquoises to lavenders and greens."

And now just a few pictures from the original Hello Kitty collection mentioned above:





I'll be purchasing a bit of this collection and will do a review of the color collection a little later on.

Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eyeshadow Quad

On a spontaneous haul visit to Sephora I decided to do something different for once: Check out some of the brands that I've never bought from before. OMG I know, and you thought that I have tried everything. Well I haven't. But I have tried about 80% of the high-end brands out there (so if you need help deciding with someone just ask/read my reviews).

The Vincent Longo half of an aisle caught my eye. In lieu of Sephora's last fine art-themed catalogue, Longo had stuff that totally fit in. Mascaras in unconventional shades (primary yellow, blue, red, green, etc.) and the same colors in liquid liners. I poked around at these for a bit and ended up buying the Vibrant Eye Waterproof Mascara in Giallo (yellow) as well as a liner in a Crayola green, Vibrant Eye Waterproof Liner in Verdino. Oh yeah, and I could not fucking resist getting the Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eyeshadow Quad ($40).

I mean come on, even the name is awesome. Wet Diamond. Anyway, this is the first time I've ever bought a palette that was meant to be used wet and dry.

Used dry, the high-tech pearl formulate doesn't really emulsify nicely on your brush. They colors come out tons lighter than they look in the palette. It's nice -- if you want something super subtle. Used wet these pigments are FAMAZING. 

Before I go on, I know some of you may have never used a highly-pigmented eyeshadow wet before. All you have to do is get a damp piece of paper towel/facial tissue and dab your brush on it. Never hold the brush bristles directly under a running stream of water, it'll get it WAY too wet and may ruin the bristle arrangement of your brush if you let it dry retarded.

So after you've dabbed your damp brush into a color, these pigments are soooo pronounced you can see them from a mile away. These are pealescent, ultra-shimmery colors and are super blendable. They only being to somewhat crease after the school day (appoximately 8 hours of wear). 

I highly, HIGHLY suggest the Wet Diamond Quads and give them a 5 out of 5 stars!

Shitty Blog, I Know.

Yeah, so I didn't update for a long time mostly because I just kind of think that no one reads this. I may as well be talking to a wall. I think. But I wouldn't know now would I 'cause no one leaves comments. Ugh. You guys. Come on.

WMC is long gone in the world of Clubland. Should I bother to talk about my personal experience? Let's just say it was wild. Like most Lix-nights. Amazingly fun. Bad-ass music (I cannot emphasize that enough!), all my coolest party people and just a raw fucking environment overall. I'm still really annoyed that Digitalism didn't get to go on at Ultra though. It's things like WMC that make me appreciate Miami even more than I already do.

Meanwhile, I've gone completely broke and am looking for a (new) job since the one I currently have isn't really making the bank. Any suggestions? I don't want anything to do with food. Ugh, gross. Plus I had enough ass-kissing food service for picky, mean people at Starbucks already kthx.

I just bought a trendy ass "Coco Chanel is Dead"-themed necklace. Except mine is gonna be black unlike the one in the picture. Again, pushing my monetary limits with my entry-level mall job. Check it.

I also got a haul from Sephora (to be later described and perhaps reviewed) to relieve bad tension that was onset in my head on Saturday at my senior gallery showing. I hate people that bring out my inner bitch when it needs to rest.

M.A.C Heatherette Collection is HERE!

Omg omg omg omg.

The colors are great and the compacts and packaging is pure eye candy. I'll be heading off to the Pro store this weekend to get my share of this stuff before it sells out. Check MACcosmetics.com for all the swatches. I love Richie Rich and his fabulousness.

As a matter of fact, they'll be having a show during Funkshion. They'll be in the tents on 11th and Ocean on Saturday the 29th (Oh no, the same day as Ultra! Ugh).

P.S. Eat this, Fafi! I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they thought those dolls were cute. Fuckin' horrifying. They look like Bratz on crack.

IIII Wantttt...

Okay, so most of my friends know this one of my many catch-phrases:
"Everything's better with a face."

No really! Draw a smiley face on your stapler. Isn't it 10,000 times better now?! AUGHH CUTENESSSS.

Yeah, yeah -- it doesn't scream "UPPERCLASSBITCH!", but I definitely have a soft spot for quirky-looking totes in my closet next to Fendi clutch.
