Can't Get Enough of MAC: More Hauls

Happy April Fool's Day my fellow readers and bloggers!!

Here is another post of my recent MAC and CCO hauls. During the past weekend, the hubby and I took the kids to L.A. for Disneyland. I'm so proud of the hubby that he drove 14 hours round-trip to Vegas and 10 hours round-trip the next day to L.A. without a rest and did not complain once. I guess he could be a truck driver then. Well, at least that may part of his retirement plan, to be a truck driver so he can travel the world (wants me to go with him).
Anyway, my son got sick and the weather there was kind of dull so we decided not to go to Disneyland. Instead, the hubby and I checked out Camarillo Premiun Outlets and Desert Hills Premium Outlets. The hubby is such a shopaholic! Seriously, I was actually the one that always have to wait for him or nag him to leave when it comes to shopping. The hubby shops more than I do and he is soooo into LACOSTE. Anyway, since I am building up my MAC collection I thought I'd show you more of my recent hauls.
I know a lot of my bloggers already have these colors but I'm too proud of my purchases so I'm going to show it anyway. Happy reading/looking!

FOTDs: LAS VEGAS the 3-day TRIP


WARNING: This post contains over 20 photos!

Las Vegas, the fourth trip, was so much interesting, fun, and beyond our expectations. We had so much fun especially winning all the time playing single deck blackjack. Shopping was a huge part of our trip. My husband loves loves loves to shop and especially when there is an outlet that has LACOSTE he'll be there. We shopped at the three (3) outlets in Vegas. By far the Las Vegas Premiun Outlet was the best one out of the three. My husband and I decided to shop and gamble in between so that we didn't lose all of our money for nothing. So, after gambling we would shop for all the things that we desired. Fortunately, we lose nothing because we won over $1500 playing blackjack. I didn't play because my husband rather that I stand by him because I'M HIS GOOD LUCK! I don't mind either because if I played and if I lose that means we're doubling our losing. Anyway, technically, all of our purchased items, gas, hotel, car rental, the whole trip was free. It says that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", we were the other way around. We brought back home our fortunes. Also, on the way back home we were able to spend the night in Los Angeles and checked out the Camarillo Premiun Outlet.

This trip was the best one out of the last three because we went with just the two of us. We were able to go anywhere freely without someone nagging. My husband was so understanding of my makeup purchases. He was willing to check out and in fact paid for some of my CCO hauls. We're planning for another Vegas trip sometime in September.

MY HEART IS STILL IN VEGAS!

Day 1:

Shopping: The Cosmetic Company Store, Vacaville, CA.

Hello Ladies! Very very happy day! Yesterday was such a very short day for me. My husband and I shopped all day at Vacaville Premiun Outlet and we got tons of things. I went to the Cosmetic Company Store (CCS) and they have lots of MAC items. However, I only walked away with three items:

1) Lipglass Pencil in "Rosebound", $9.50;
2) Powder Blush in "Whim", $12.25; and
3) Ruffle 3 Tan Lips, lipsticks are "All Revealing" and "Embrace", and lipglass in "Headliner", the set was only $22.50.

Love the packaging. The store has tons of lipglass, lipglosses, lipsticks, blushes, pigments in "pastorale", liquidliners, bags, lipstick sets, and much more. Also, I was going to buy another Coach bag but I decided not to because I've already spent all my money on makeup and on my kids. Maybe next month! Hah!
After shopping at Vacaville, we headed to Sacramento Arden Fair Mall. From the MAC store there, I picked up:

1) Two (2) MAC Pro Eyeshadow Palletes $12 each
2) One (1) Blush pallete $12
3) Fix plus spray $15

Tired tired and hungry hungry so we left for home.
Ohhh... can't wait until Spring Break starting on March 24. If I'm not planning to go to Las Vegas then more FOTDs will be up. More shopping to do! Alright ladies... happy shopping!!

I thought having a chatterbox here would be more accessible to leave comments/suggestions and for my replies. Or if you like you can always leave comments on an entry you find interesting. Thanks!
