Mall Haul! (I only went for two items...)

This was an impulse buy from the MAC counter in Macy's. First of all, let me just say that I've been visiting this mall for years thinking, 'if only they had a MAC store, they'd be perfect.' I NEVER go into Macy's, but this time we parked in front of the store and the MAC counter was straight ahead of the doors. 

Anyways, I've been wanting a new concealer as the Neutrogena one I've been using forever just wasn't cutting it. I've like this so far. At first I was worried it'd be waaaay too pink but you really can't tell when it's on my face.

 This mascara was near the checkout in Sephora for $9.00. I can't remember how much the regular sized one is, but I'm thinking it's around $20.00. I like this mascara and I'm glad I bought it, but I don't think I'll be spending $20.00 on it as it's nothing spectacular.

 When I got my hair done a couple weeks ago the woman used Moroccanoil on it and my hair felt amazing afterwards! This was in a salon store for about $15.00, which is a bit steep for such a small bottle but I really wanted it.

I also found these Real Techniques brushes which I've been hearing a lot about lately. I haven't tried them all yet but so far I'm quite impressed! Special thanks to Albie for convincing me I needed both! :)

 Now onto the two things I actually went to the mall for...
NARS Sheerglow Foundation! I've read some rave reviews so I really wanted to try it. I guessed at my shade because for once I wasn't hounded by multiple Sephora girls. In fact Albie and I kind of lingered around the NARS stand for a while waiting to see if anyone would come over. 
I've been using this since I got it, and I like it. I didn't know how to feel about it at first. I was expecting a MIRACLE~*!&~^!~ or something considering the reviews I've read, but. It's just. Foundation? It feels nice and I like the coverage and the finish. But I'm not blown away. One thing I've noticed it that it sometimes builds up in my pores, something I've never had a problem with before. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Perhaps I'll review it once I've used it longer.

Nothing but good things to say about this brush! It's a mineral powder brush but I've been using it with liquid foundation. Love it, love it, love it. I actually wanted it because I'd seen Estee from essiebutton use it. (I'm obsessed with her by the way. You need to watch her youtube videos. NEED.)

I also got a new Hello Kitty car decal sticker since some lowlife decided they needed to steal the magnet I had on my car. (Still pissed about it. You just don't mess with other people's cars! YOU JUST DON'T!)

Also, I've been OBSESSED with this meme.
BERKS! EHRMAGERD!
