Hello, everyone! How was your weekend?
Some of you may already know that I'm a member of Influenster.com and a few months ago I was taking part in one of their eBay campaigns. Essentially, if you wrote two eBay guides and submitted the links to Influenster's campaign page you would receive a $25 gift code to spend on eBay. I've done this once before last year (I still had a dollar and some change left on that one too, lol), so I did it again because it's an easy $25. Immediately after I finished the first eBay campaign, I was offered to participate in another one. So I ended up with a total of $50 in eBay gift codes from Influenster.

What you may not know, is that I also take surveys from websites like Opinion Outpost, i-Say, and Bzz Agent. When you complete a survey you're given a certain number of points. You can then turn in your points for "prizes" (for example eBay or Amazon gift codes). Well, Bzz Agent sent me an email offering me to participate in writing eBay guides for a $25 gift code. Obviously, I already knew how easy it would be so I went ahead and completed their eBay campaign and received another $25 to spend on eBay's website.
Long story short, I found myself with $75 in eBay gift codes and no idea what to spend them on since I don't usually shop on eBay's website. However, I came across some limited edition MAC products that I missed out on and decided that's what I wanted to purchase with my gift codes.
The first item I grabbed is from MAC's Hello Kitty collection. I wasn't as into makeup when this collection came out like I am now. After finding out about this collection when I did get into makeup, I was so bummed that I had missed out on it. If you know anything about me, you know that I've always been a Hello Kitty fan, so having something from this collection is a must for me. What I found is the "Sweet Strawberry" lipglass.
The next item I picked out was MAC's Goddess of the Sea lipstick from the Alluring Aquatic collection. The packaging for this collection is so gorgeous! I wanted this product for the packaging as much as for the actual lipstick. It's a muted plum shade with a Cremesheen finish.

The last MAC LE item I picked is from the Cinderella collection that came out earlier this year. I would rather have the Royal Ball lipstick because I like that shade a little bit better, but it's about $45+ on eBay, so I chose Free As A Butterfly instead. It's a sheer nude lipstick with a lustre finish. It's a bit too light for my taste, but I love the pretty blue packaging on this one (and if you know me - you know I'm a sucker for LE packaging).
What are some limited edition items you regret not purchasing? I also hate myself a little for not picking up the Lorac Mego Pro palette when it came out. :(
Thanks for stopping by!
