<br>
Recently I realized that my makeup collection has gotten a bit out of control (Noooooo. Really???) and I decided the best thing to do in a situation like this was to clear out anything that isn't my absolute favorite or anything that hasn't been worn in over six months. I ended up giving a bunch of stuff to family and friends, but I was still left with some things that were just not getting any use from me. If you are interested in these products, shoot me an email at faniibeauty@gmail.com and we'll go from there :)<br>
<br>
I will be updating a list of unavailable items as they sell.<br>
<br>
All transactions will take place through PayPal, all prices include shipping, and will only ship to the U.S.<br>

<br>
It turns out that I was bad this month. Really bad. In fact, I ended up signing up for three deliveries from Sephora, which I don't even want to talk about :P<br>
<br>
The first two are very OCC heavy, and I'll go ahead and review the stuff I got here :)<br>

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.<br>
<br>
So today you get to hear about my very unique experience being both a makeup addict and a working girl. I spent most of yesterday afternoon calling all the different MAC counters in my city, asking if they would hold the two measly products I wanted from the new collection. Over and over again they said no, and I actually got kinda scared. I started thinking to myself. If I am unable to get my hands on these products, I shall be very put out.<br>
<br>
Eh. Maybe not. But still.<br>
<br>
People hoard MAC LE lipsticks like they're rare artifacts (and then sell them on eBay for $40, but I digress), and I was scared that I wouldn't get my hands on the two things I really wanted. I decided to phone in my order, so I set my alarm at work for 10 am and dialed faster than those nasty people over-order LE MAC lipsticks.<br>
<br>
Needless to say, those babies are now mine. <br>

<br>
So July suddenly became August, which for me brought a lot of new opportunities as far as my career and relationships are concerned :) I hope this summer has been as good to you as it was to me! This post will be a quick overview of the products that got me through hot summer days and cool nights :)<br>

As you can probably tell, my favorites are a bit MAC-heavy but do include some drugstore classics. The age is also all over the place, seeing as some products are brand-spankin' new and others I've had for almost a year now :)<br>

Hey, guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Long time no see! For this post, I've got something a little different. I know the MAC Osbournes collection came out recently, and if you were lucky enough to snag what you wanted, congratulations! I got the Riot House lipstick because it was just the most adorable color ever, but then I realized that it is not necessarily the most wearable color for anyone above an NW20. SOOOOO..... Naturally I had to find some ways to make it more wearable! I found five different ways (with a mix of high end, limited edition, and drugstore) to wear Riot House without looking dead!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hey, guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm back with more! So my MAC counter just released the Alluring Aquatic collection this morning, and you can bet I was there within the hour. Whether or not you can believe it, some of the stuff I wanted was sold out before I even walked into the store. I know. Whatever. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could go into a rant about people that go to MAC and buy out limited edition products only to sell them at a ridiculously inflated price later on, but I won't. You're mean and I hate you.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soooooo. I am officially a college graduate. I graduated from Baylor University this last Saturday, and it was a mind-blowingly amazing experience. I spent the weekend with so many great friends and family and now I am on the job hunt! Before, however, I decided to stop at Sephora and get myself a few graduation presents. The first present I got myself is the Urban Decay Electric palette! Yaaay!</div>

Hey, guys!<br>
<br>
So, I found something very interesting after I got home from my trip to MAC the other week. I had a feeling I had seen the color I bought (Toying Around) before in my collection, so I decided to pull out my coral pinks and swatch them next to each other. I found a near identical dupe, and I was glad/frustrated that the dupe is about a third of the price!<br>

I have a love/hate relationship with this color. I love it when it's on, but it always, always, ALWAYS stains my lips very heavily. So, I end up wearing the color longer than I want to. Other than that, it is creamy and opaque. The Amplified Creme formula is one of my favorites!</div>

This is one of the shades that recently released with the Mineralize Rich collection, and is a light, semi-sheer baby blue pink. It looks so menacing in the tube, but once you put it on it is an entirely different shade. I love this color!<br />

So there you go, guys! My lips are now permanently chafed from swatching all of these in one day! (Don't ask me, I don't know what I was thinking, either). I hope you find this useful and it helps you pick out your next shade! :)<br />

Hey, guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I was recently walking through the drugstore, minding my own business, when I noticed Maybelline had a new mascara out. And it was pink. And it had some ridiculous claim on the box. So, naturally, I picked it up to see if the wild claims were true (16x volume? C'mon, Maybelline, who's going to measure that?). The brush is very generic, with a gimmick-y wand, but the results are actually quite amazing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anything you've ever heard about the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine formula is absolutely true. That it was handcrafted by angels. That they feel like melting butter on baby skin on silk. That the color is so pretty you can hear Elton John singing in your ear when you apply it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hey, guys! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm slowly but surely working through the blog posts for the stuff I picked up during my birthday weekend, and this is one of them! I had stopped by MAC to turn in some empties and get my free lipstick, and saw the new Studio Sculpt Collection. It mainly includes the promotion of Studio Sculpt Foundation (the first foundation I ever tried from MAC), the re-release of the Pro Sculpting Creams, and the all new Studio Sculpt Mascara.</div>

HD Cream Blushes in Showstopper and Headliner: Swatches and review!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hey, guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I know that I recently hauled and reviewed a ton of stuff from Sephora, which isn't all that affordable. I wanted to show these two products from e.l.f. that are absolutely outstanding and will cost you $3. These are the HD Blushes, which are very, very, similar to the Makeup Forever HD blushes. I have not tried the latter, so I can't say how the formulas compare. The packaging is nearly identical.</div>

<br>
A couple of posts ago, Lauren asked me to do a couple of looks to demonstrate the versatility of the Smashbox Full Exposure palette that I picked up during my birthday week. I came up with three looks for you all. One for every day wear, neutral enough for even beginners to master, one simply smoky eye for those who are more daring or are going out, and one for those who are comfortable wearing a little more glam on an everyday basis.<br>

<span class="s1">This is another product that I reached into the shelf and clutched to my heart once it was in my hands. I’ve never reached for something in a store so quickly! This is the Tarte Be MATTEnificent CC Eyeshadow Palette. I had this baby in my basket on the Sephora website for weeks, and was waiting for payday (and my birthday) to finally check out. The morning of the day I was supposed to get it, it sold out online. I wasn’t able to even look at it on the website anymore, so I couldn’t look up if any Sephora near me still had it in stock. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">That same weekend, having accepted defeat, I headed into Georgetown, Texas (about an hour drive from my university) to visit the Wolf-Ranch Sephora. I was at the door at eleven on the dot (the exact time they open), grabbed a basket, and got going. As I was walking through the little aisles, I thought I’d swing by the Tarte aisle to look at some blushes. The first thing that caught my eye was the fact that this glorious little palette was there. There were two left, and one of them was in my basket in the blink of an eye.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">My point was, check your local Sephora before you give up on this baby :)</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hj_50gfjeoc/Uyja1MP0N5I/AAAAAAAAFnE/319Yf5Wxhfk/s1600/DSCN2856.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hj_50gfjeoc/Uyja1MP0N5I/AAAAAAAAFnE/319Yf5Wxhfk/s1600/DSCN2856.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This palette contains six matte shades, two eyeliner shades, and a blush color. This palette is definitely purple in its theme, so if you don’t like wearing purple shades, this is not for you. I just so happen to be a purple shadow junkie, which is why I was pining over this in the first place.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The names of the shades are in a plastic cover inside the palette, but that is now long gone. They are nowhere else on the palette, so once you throw that out, the colors are name-less. Honestly, this doesn’t bother me at all, but I’d thought I’d mention it since I keep seeing people who are bothered by a lack of names on their shadows.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Here are the swatches!</span></div>

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The square shadows all have great pigmentation, and I didn’t find them chalky on my ligtht/medium skintone at all. You might want to check it out in person (if you can) first if you have darker skin, to make sure they show up well. They can get a bit powdery, but it’s not something that has made my use of it messy or bothersome.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The eyeliner shades are a bit dry, but seeing as I think they’re meant to be used wet, this isn’t a huge deal. I have yet to try them on the lid, but I’ll let you know how that goes!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The blush is a pink mauve. It’s very neutral, and it goes with virtually anything. It’s got the usual quality of Tarte’s blushes (which never wear the full twelve hours they claim on me).</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>

<br></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This is another one of the things that I picked up around the time of my birthday, and it had spent quite a few weeks in my wishlist on the Sephora website. This is the shade Siam in NARS’ new range of Matte Multiples, which launched not too long ago. These are supposed to be multipurpose products, and are meant for the cheeks and lips. Now, this is kind of a crazy color to wear on your cheeks, but on the lips it would look like a very modern orange red.</span></div>

<span class="s1">I</span> wanted this for the summer because there’s noting that looks prettier to me than a brightly flushed look on the cheeks. Most of the blushes I own are on the pink, peach, or berry side, and I really wanted something red for summer. Boy, did I get it.<br>

<br>
I don't think I've ever bought a product with as mixed reviews as the Smashbox Full Exposure Palette. Seriously. Google this baby and you'll get a ton of people who swear by it and just as many who absolutely hate it. This past week, I had a birthday to celebrate and a paycheck to spend, so I stepped into a Sephora and decided to take one for the team and try this out.<br>

<br>
I don't know about y'all, but Texas has been having some pretty ugly weather lately. I swear last week felt like spring and then it snowed and hailed and now we're in some sort of foggy nastiness. With that in mind, I decided to do a post on my favorite spring lip colors! What better way to cheer up than with cheerful lip colors? I was originally going to make this a drugstore edition (it still kind of is), but I decided to throw in MAC's new Viva Glam Rihanna lipstick because it benefits charity!<br>

So here we are. It's almost two months since I started my Project Pan/No-Buy, and it hasn't been easy. I did finish some full sized products and some samples, and I took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of products that just weren't working for me.<br>

<br></div>
Hey, guys!<br>
<br>
Oh dear. It's happened. MAC has released the new Viva Glam lipstick and lipglass for 2014, and the face of Viva Glam this year is Rihanna! Given the success of all the Rihanna-centered collections over the last few months, it really comes as no surprise that they chose her to represent Viva Glam. Honestly, it seems like a very smart and charitable decision. People buy Rihanna stuff so readily, and this is a cause that really serves a purpose.<br>
<br>
100% of the sales price of these products ($15 USD for the lipstick, $16 USD for the lipglass) goes to the MAC AIDS fund, which helps adults and children living with HIV and AIDS. Straight from MAC's website, here's what one Viva Glam product can do:<br>
<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Provide more than two weeks' worth of nutritious food to a person living with HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles County</li>
<li>Feed one resident three homemade meals and snacks for one week; provide one resident with a clean, safe place to sleep for two nights.</li>
<li>Serve two home-delivered meals or two meals at a dining center.</li>
<li>Provide one bag of food (equaling nine meals) from a food pantry.</li>
<li>Purchase one month's worth of supplemental food for a low-income person living with HIV/AIDS in Portland, Oregon.</li>
<li>Provide at least 45 minutes of lifesaving HIV prevention skills, building training to groups of 20-75 women and girls.</li>
<li>Provide 80 pounds of nutritious food to be distributed through a food pantry program</li>
<li>Provide a six-month supply of Omega 3 fish oil to help decrease inflammation caused by the immune system's battle against the HIV virus.</li>
<li>Fund one day's housing with supportive services for a homeless person</li>
<li>Provide five hours of G.E.D. preparation for an individual person.</li>
</ul>
<div>
The list goes on and on and on :) I love this program, because MAC is honestly passionate about giving as much as possible to those who need it the most. If you'd like to learn more about the MAC AIDS Fund, you can visit their <a href="http://www.macaidsfund.org/" target="_blank">website</a>.</div>

Hey, guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I wanted to show you two of the new(ish) Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms. I have Shameless, which is a deep matte purple and Mischievous, a light, orange creamsicle color. For the most part, both of these are pigmented and smooth to apply; they have a peppermint scent and are lightly moisturizing.</div>
