Mac Cosmetics Lucky Red Collection for Lunar New Year + Hauling MAC Shiny Pretty Things and MAC x Aalyiah

  I have not bought MAC in forever. Right now I tend to wait, coz everything goes on sale sooner or later. 

I have waited with Christmas Collection and Aalyiah Collection, and just now I picked up few products along the new collection launched for Chinese New Year.
So let's get started with that one as it is the main focus of this post.

The collection launched January 3rd, and I was at Macy's at this time and spotted something eye catching. The collection includes MAC best selling red lippies Ruby Woo, Russian Red and Lady Danger and new limited edition shades Lotus Life and Lucky in Love, as well as duo blush (Melba and Lovecloud)  and  powder blush brush.

 All dressed up red metallic packaging with matte floral print. The floral print is actually a peony flower, flower of richness and honor symbolize royalty and virtue in Chinese culture.
I only grabbed two limited shades and I am wanting to go back and see if Ruby Woo if still available.

Lucky in Love it matte mauve shade which I feel in love.
Lotus Life is intense pinky red in amplified formula.

Here is the display at my Macy's

Along with this collection I placed an online order for few Holiday products and I also grabbed Aalyiah lipstick as I didn't get anything from that collection when it first launched.
The lipstick I bought is More Than a Woman, which is cool deep red and well really gorgeous.
And the Holiday collection right after Holidays went on sale -40% off and I was able to get the lipstick that was on my wish list "Straight Fire" and the Oh darling highlighter. I also put one single shadow but unfortunately it went out of stock and I got my $ refunded .

"Straight Fire" is metallic matte red lipstick that is so stunning! and you cant never have enough reds trust me. In which case I will be getting Ruby Woo in that LE packaging hahah. "Oh Darling!" highlighter I own before, as I purchased few years back also from Holiday Magic of the Night collection. Yes now I have two, but come on I couldn't resist how beautiful this one look! And for $21 it really worth it. Yes you can't beat the sale prices.

 Never the less I am really pleased with my purchases. Cant wait to see what else Mac have in store for us. 

MAC ~ My Lipstick Collection

Hi  Loves, 

I'm not gonna hide that I love MAC lippies. Ok I love their Limited Collection , which I don't quite use, coz you know they are Limited. How crazy right?
I bought my very first Mac lipstick when Alluring Aquatic collection launched and that was about hmmm 3 years ago ? I am not quite sure. Too be honest I was not really happy with the color but the tube on the other hand was breathtaking. After that I tried to buy at least one lipstick in every LE. I can tell you my second and third lippie I bought but as for others I don't remember.
Second was Oblivion form MAC ROcky Horror Picture Show. This is by far my favorite lipstick ever! The most gorgeous red I own. My third was yet another red, this time from Holiday collection and I got it n shade Sparks of ROmance. There was one more red form that Xmas collection I wanted but unfortunately it was sold out.

I will try to show them in order I bought them. I might however not remember exactly hahaha!
