Hauls: Back-2-Mac and Fafi

So, today the hubby and I drove the kids and went to Sacramento Arden Faire Mall. I took 60 emptied pots to do the 'back to mac' and received 10 eyeshadows. On the way back home, we stopped by Modesto Vintage Faire Mall and grabbed the Fafi Eyes 1. I know, it took me a while to get that quad because I did a lot of thinking. Don't ask me why, I wasn't really interested when it first came out. Now, I think I kind of like it after one of a MAC MA tried it on me.

Top L-R: Antiqued, Plum Dressing, Flourishing, Velvet Moss, Bronze
Low L-R: Mythology, Jest, Knight Divine, Brule, Club

MAC Fafi Eyes 1 quad.
I decided to get the Fafi quad after two months of thinking!

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!

Another MAC Hauls the Same Day

O.K. so after I had already posted my drug store cosmetics haulage, my husband wants to go shopping at a nearby mall. I decided to tag along without thinking that I would buy more MAC. When I got near the MAC counter in Macy's my heart was pumping fast and I felt my blood was traveling over 80mph up to my brain saying "you gotta check 'em out!". So I decided to glance at some eyeshadows. At last, I ended up buying more MAC. An addict can never get enough of its addiction!!

Check 'em out!

--- Blushbaby Blush
--- Shroom e/s (I have other e/s highlighters but not Shroom)
--- NW25 Select Cover Up Concealer (I have a full one in NC42 but too orange for my skin)
--- Graphblack Technakohl Liner
--- and a MAC Sharperner hehehehe

*SO EXCITED!!* I just found out from a MAC MA that Sacramento Arden Mall (1 and 1/2 hrs from my location) has a MAC store opening almost a year again, which I've been there many times last year but didn't know about it. Now, I can recycle all my MAC emptied pots for more eyeshadows. I have over 25 recycleable pots here. I was going to drive all the way to San Francisco just to return my pots. I didn't want lipsticks at a MAC counter so I rather drive far to get my eyeshadows.
