My MAC Haul and clothing shopping; all in the name of vacation

It's 2 more days until my trip to Anaheim. I decided to take the opportunity to shop for much needed jean shorts/skirts/tops and some other miscellaneous items.

Here is my makeup haul. I had a Macy's giftcard leftover from my birthday. After trying on about 10 pairs of DKNY, juicy and Calvin & Klein Jeans, I decided just to use my card on some MAC products.

I also got the HIP paints to try out as a base for my pigments to see if I can pop the colors more. I read a review today on L'Oreals HIP Paints and after reading such a positive review, I decided to try them. I was planning on going out to buy MAC's painterly Paint Pot today anyhow. I got some awesome new

MAC eye shadows. So darn pricey but MAC has some pretty amazing products.

I am totally in love with makeup again. I have gotten more and more obsessed with it over the past few weeks. I've been watching Marlena's makeup geek videos on Youtube and I've been busting out a lot of the looks she demonstrates. Now I am an active member on her forum chatting about makeup!

The crazy part is she now posts a photo with a look for people to try and recreate and post their pictures of it. I may actually try this week's look tomorrow. I'm so silly.

So what exactly makes a perfectly normal single mother and new graduate run out and buy new clothes, make up and pretty panties from Victoria's Secret??? Vacation of course!

I guess I just want to put my best foot forward and look beautiful everyday. It is on my 21 things to do at 43 things.

Well I should be getting back to laundry and figuring out how to cram all of my hair products into the same clothing suitcase so as to avoid having to pay an additional baggage fee.

Weight loss update:

It is my 6 weeks mark today and I am down 15 pounds. I feel good and I am pretty sure I am looking good. My pants are easier to put on and I was even able to wear a size 12 at American Eagle today. Sure it was snug but I could button the jeans up without too much effort.

I am still vlogging away about my weight loss on Youtube and I really think it has been the reason for my success so far. I don't want to let my subscribers down!
