Shopping Report with Cavewoman: First stop was T J Maxx in Beachwood. This is the infamous Maxx with the Chanel sighting. Today we spotted the most fabulous Christian Lacroix heels that are worthy of Carrie Bradshaw. Cavewoman tried them on and looked amazing. She decided to pass. I tried to make her "cave" but she is strong. She scored some wonderful jewelry while I took home two pairs of sunglasses.
We then proceeded to the Beachwood Mall. We did more damage at the Saks and Nordstorm MAC counters. I purchased Monarch lipstick (lovely peach) ,Tartlette lipglass, vanilla pigment (a vanilla gold), Meadowland (greenish teal) and Pollen eyeshadow. The sales clerk gave me the tester for Pink Opal pigment since they were out of stock. At the Saks MAC counter I scored the last Dainty Cake lipstick along a backup Moth Brown. The sales clerk was wearing my holy grail eyeshadow Parrot so we bonded. She showed us the upcoming MAC lipsticks that are due out in a few weeks. She then asked her manager if she could sell us the ones they had in stock. The manager did not care so we came home with unreleased MAC lipsticks. The ones I have are Pretty Loud (a stunning blue based pink), Cockatease (a great coral similiar to Dainty Cake) and Frosti (a shimmery plum). There were many others but these three were my early favorites. They had some rich browns and taupe lipsticks. These are not my speed but they were wonderful. Cavewoman and I were disappointed to not see the new Nars collection. The line is not out in Saks or Sephora. The Saks clerk said it will be a few weeks. The Sephora gal had no idea what I was talking about.
I explored the Tony+Tina line. Fell hard for a glitter that was a vanilla/yellow/amber. It was beyond lovely. It was sold out and I wrote the name on my list. Sadly my list was left behind in Sephora. Ugh!
Tony+Tiny had some amazing glitters and glitter based products. If you like glitter this is the line for you. I love glitter so I was in heaven.
We went to the perfume counter at Saks and tested Angel's Violet again. I do not think it is a future purchase for me even though it really is lovely. There are no more YSL Roses Enchantees. I was thinking I was going to pick up a backup bottle. I am loving this scent.
We went into Banana Republic for their sale. The clothes area was a madhouse so I just stayed at the jewelry case. I found some lovely pins and a great raspberry stone earring. I also purchased a scarf.
Cavewoman and I ended the day with mexican at Cancun in ytown. It was a great shopping day as always........

MAC and Mex for the Y-town girls! It was a great day. I wish I could wear those four-inch heels, I have to admit that I am still thinking about them. Annie did not mention that I had them on in a size ten! I wear an 8 1/2 normally. You have to go up that much to get these pointy things on your feet!
We did have a great day. I'm MAC'd out for a while now, there is nothing left on my MAC lemming list.
Melanie, that contrast stitching is not my cup of tea, either. I actually thought that I would take a magic marker to one of mine, but I haven't yet. I don't care for it at all. The Kate Spade sounds so pretty, it's too bad you did not get to check it out.
Nordstrom was having an UrbanDecay/Hard Candy event today. There must have been a dozen makeup artists doing freebie makeovers. One of the makeup artists had on the blue-turquoise-green eye look that Annie loves, and I tried to talk her into getting an eye makeover but she declined.
We are pooped but as always had fun!
The two of you always have such wonderful shopping trips! They no longer sell Urban Decay or Had Candy out here! Such a shame because I always loved their products. Benefit took over the counter and the shadows and lipsticks don't compare.
Hi Atreau! My love affair with BeneFit lasted for about a minute. I used to use their EyeBright when it was sold in a lipstick-type tube. Now it's a pencil. Ugh.
Hard Candy and Urban Decay are so much fun! Let us know if there is anything you want us to pick up for you!
Wow, all that makeup shopping! I am not listening -- I DO NOT NEED MORE MAKEUP, LOL!
Seriously, I need to get to the MAC counter.
I am so surprised that they are out of the new Paris LE already. But I am betting it will end up on perfumebay. Last year's LE is still there.
Okay, now I am going to perfumebay. I did not get last years LE. I have regretted that ever since. I also want another one of this years, Roses Enchantees. It may be the best one so far!
