Someone's been hauling!

My birthday month is finally here! As you know, I am on a 2010 no buy for unnecessary make-up and so far, I have made it through 5 months. I am still in shock that I have had so much self control. I do have a Stickie open on my macbook where I add items that I want to get at a later date such NOW. When I first set my no buy, I decided that I would give myself a break during the month of June. We are only on the 9th day of the month & I have hauled. Here is what I have gotten so far:

Chanel's Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle 05 lipstick (swatch)

Chanel's Gloss Fluo in Laser (swatch)

Chanel's Glossimer in Pagoda (swatch)

This is my first try at Chanel make-up (besides nail polishes) and I am really happy with them. I can see myself becoming addicted to this brand.

I also got the remaining Benefit Ultra Shines glosses in Wild Child, Back to the Fuchsia & Foxy Lady (swatch). That means I now own all of the 5 colors that Benefit came out with so ar this year. As you can tell, I really like them enough to get one of each.

While I was at the Benefit boutique getting my brows done, I checked out one of their new fragrances called Garden of Good & Eva and I instantly knew I needed it. The MUA also showed me their new Instant Brow pencil in Medium to Dark and I really liked how it made my brows look. I already use Benefit's Brow Zings but I liked that I could carry this pencil around for a touch up.

Sometime during last week while I was getting my lunch, I happened to walk next to a beauty store which sells Shiseido and got the Mascara Base. It's basically a primer you use before your mascara and for my lashes, it makes a difference. It makes them look fuller than they normally would. I've used this product before and wouldn't call it a necessity but it's worth it. It works better on me than MAC's primer.

One of the nail polish collections that I was really excited about was OPI's Shrek Forever. I knew that I wanted some of the colors after I saw Kelly's swatches and ended up getting Fiercely Fiona, Rumple's Wiggin', What's With the Cattitude & Ogre the Top Blue.

And last but not least, I have been wanting this nail polish color ever since I saw it a swatch of it online. It's Sally Hansen's Purple Pizzazz (swatch) and it's everything I wanted it to be and more. While looking through the display, I also picked up Gray by Gray (swatch).

As you can see, I have not wasted any time in hauling while I can. I still have 21 more hauling days until I go back on my no buy til the end of the year.

I can't find my digital camera + bad lighting = not so stellar iPhone photo.

And in case you are curious as to what else is on my list, check this out. As you can tell, I have a thing for nail polishes.
