Don't cha just love it when you have a friend travelling to the US? :D I had a very small wishlist as I always feel guilty asking for too much, especially knowing she was going to a festival (and coachella at that, *drools*). As usual I had MAC on the hitlist as most items are marked up more than 200% here down under (hmph). I caved and asked for the 217 brush, curiosity has gotten the better of me and I plan to collect a few dupes for a comparison post. But yes, it does apply and blend eyeshadow like a dream, particularly for one-wash wonder shadows. The shadows I've had serious lemmings for were the khaki toned Coquette and chocolate hue of Handwritten, just perfect for the wintery eyes I'm lusting after.
I also asked for a mini of the Urban Decay Primer Potion to see if it could do it's creaseless magic on my eyes, but sadly no - it still creased after a few short hours even when powdered on top, weep. My lovely friend also threw in a gift in there, a Chanel Nail Polish in Rouge Noir. My first Chanel product. I have never loved red nails of any sort so I was apprehensive, but it being Chanel, I tried it (of course). And the colour is gorgeous. The deep red hue also makes your hands look really healthy too. Downside? It chips so fast. So fast. I'm talking full nail chips after a shower. Eek, more experimenting required...
Now back to my parcel forwarding plans for more US goodies.. (that's if they happen!).
