Red Cherry Lashes Haul!

Hi Beauties!

I received my Red Cherry lashes today. I'm so excited to pick my favorites from this haul.

I LOVE the MAC #7 Lashes more than any other lashes I've ever used but they get mighty expensive. Here's a great alternative for those who use lashes very frequently.

MAC Pro Haulin' (Sugarsweet gloss)

Hi Beauties,

I went to my MAC Pro store last week and picked up a few goodies. Nothing crazy but here it is.
*I posted below, a look I did with two of these colors I bought*

For the Sugarsweet collection, I only picked up 1 of the tricolor Lipglasses, Simply Delicious.
What products did you get? I might go back for the Aquavert eyeshadow and the Nail polish in that seafoam green.


XOXO,
Awilda
