REVIEW: Mac Blogger's Obsessions

No one <3's Mac more than a beauty blogger! (But apparently fans of beauty bloggers love them both more!!)
Look what came in the mail on June 29th! My Mac order!! It took roughly 5 business days to arrive, and I ordered over the telephone (which I have never done before). All in all, ordering over the phone is pretty hassle-free, but I did feel like the person I dealt with over the phone wasn't very knowledgeable about Mac products. I find that quite surprising. 
Anyway, I ordered Caqui lipglass, Sonoran Rain lipglass and Hocus Pocus Eyeshadow (Brun eyeshadow and Posey cremeblend blush are also pictured above, but those will be featured in separate posts). I also wanted to get Jealousy Wakes eyeshadow, but it literally sold out instantly. I woke up extra early to order online on the launch date, but it still wasn't up. The soft launch was available, but somwhere between me adding the items in the cart and checking out, they removed it right away. WTF, right?!
Good thing Jealousy Wakes is back online, and I did order it, so now I'm just waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime, here are the three:

Easy & Delicious Berry Smoothie


I cannot think of a better way to cool down on a hot summer day than treating yourself to a healthy fruit smoothie! It is so incredibly easy and healthy (especially for those who hate drinking milk)!
Here is what you'll need:
-frozen berries (today I used blueberries and raspberries. If you're not into sour tastes, then I suggest using fruits that are naturally sweet)
-One cup of milk
And that's it! Blend them altogether in a blender, and there you have it!
Defnitely add more fruit if you find there isn't much taste. I didn't use any type of sugars to sweeten it, since I enjoy tasting the fruit more than added sugars. So refreshing!
What are your suggestions to stay cool during the hot summers months? Let me know!

Mac Superslick Liquid Eyeliner vs. Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner

Left: MUFE Aqua Liner #13 (black)
Right: Mac Superslick Liquid Eye Liner in Smoky Heir

You have no idea how hard it is to find a liquid liner that will stay on my oily lids!! These are my top 2 choices for liquid liner. MUFE has a HUGE range of colors (15 shades to be exact), and Mac Superslick is limited to only 9 shades. This post is simply a comparison.
