This is where we were in line when we first got there! So many people ahead of us ;_;

 We're inching closer to the beginning of the line!

Finally inside and at the front of the store! Cute waiter waiting with cocktails on his tray and makeup artists dying to try new products on the customers! One of them read my mind and tried the orange blush on me, how did they know?!

 Inside of the store, showing how chaotic it was!

 Outside of the store, and you can see there's still a lot of girls trying to get inside the event!

Another shot of the outside. The invitation had a coupon and you could get one of the items on the display. I got the bag!

 Here's my bag, invitation and haul!

My items un-boxed: Cremeblend Blush in Optimistic Orange and Restores Dazzle!, Kissable Lipcolours in Woo Me and Flaunting It. The blushes are very pigmented so it's best to stipple it in. I love the Kissable Lipcolours because they're similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams but with a different finish and the signature vanilla scent that MAC loves so much!

A note that came with the blush, in case anyone else gets it.

    1. That's a shame you had to work, but at the same time it's not too bad because it was so crowded! Such a fire hazard LOL
