Mini Haul: Embryolisse & MAC

So after Lesly and I's modeling agency adventure, we decided to walk down Lincoln Road in South Beach. I wanted to go to the MAC Pro Store and Ricky's NYC. Ever since I saw Kandee Johnson use this powder in her Pocahontas video, which was way over a year ago, I've been dying to get it. It's a loose powder called Golden Bronze. I have my MAC Pro card, but it's not everyday I'm in South Beach to get it since this is a PRO only product. Although, a very similar product is their pressed powder called Gold Deposit which is not a Pro item. But I wanted to wait for Golden Bronze because it has more product, and I rather get my money's worth! This is a beautiful highlighter for darker skin tones. It would also make a beautiful loose eye shadow. Here is a swatch of it below.


Then, at Ricky's NYC I needed to stock up on my Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Moisturizer since I'm almost out, and this is the only place you can buy it at and I hate paying for shipping and handling if I don't have to. But to my surprise, they had a new Embryolisse item. It's called, Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Fluide! It's the SAME thing as my current one, but a thinner consistency. The big plus for me was that while my current Concentre has 2.6 ounces ($25), the Fluide has 16.9 ounces ($40)! That's $15 more for about 14 more ounces, and that's a great deal. I love this moisturizer for dry skin types. Every time I use it on a client, I get some remark close to this: "What did you put on my face? My skin feels so soft!" Definitely a kit must have!

  3. Oh to answer your question, you can buy the shark book bag on yesstyle.com.

    They have different sizes and colors too, and I think right now they are all 10% off :)

  4. Hey Jessica,

    You don't have to wait to get the M.A.C. Iridescent powders. Both Golden Bronze and Silver Dusk are permanent products that are available at all locations including partner stores (counters). No need to wait for a pro store visit. :-)

    Seems as though you had a good time! Did you attend the Mercedes Benz fashion week?

  5. Really? Every time I've gone to the Mac stores they don't have it. I was offered to do makeup at swim week but unfortunately I had to turn it down. :(
