Sephora's Wonder Mama

As you can imagine by these pics, we ended up attending the Wonder Mama thing at Sephora this morning! Couldn't convince my wonder mama, but my grandma did want to come along, so *happy dances*

We got there at about 12:30 in the morning and met my friends Laura and Nerea and their lovely moms, got our manicure done for free (no idea about theirs, but I chose was OPI's Shorts Story, pictured above) and you could even have your makeup done, but sadly we were too late for that as we wandered around the aisles for too long! I am fascinated by the amount of Benefit products they have now - has it always been like that or have I always been oblivious to them? Ahhh I don't know, but the Benefit stand is absolutely amazing and I will probably be going bankrupt soon because of it. For now I have only purchased the Primping With The Stars kit, which includes the Stay Don't Stray concealer, the ultra-famous POREfessional, Girl Meets Pearl, Some Kind-a Gorgeous, a small bottle of Benetint and of course the They're Real! mascara. I guess I will be talking about those products one by one once I start trying them out.  

So that's what you call a good Saturday morning! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend and carelessly spending your money on things you don't really need like moi.

Wonder Mama & MAC Courses

Hello hello!

Sorry for my absence this week (I know, I know - what a start!) but I've been unexpectedly busy and having terrible headaches, so I haven't been able to sit here and write a proper post. My apologies.

I am here now to talk about this:

I got an e-mail yesterday morning from Sephora and it got me excited all day. Spanish Mother's Day is right around the corner and they're throwing a Wonder Mama party on Saturday April 27th, 12 - 2:30 pm, sponsored by Benefit and the magazine Yo Dona. Makeup, pop art, superheroes, surprises and discounts on all your purchases. I wouldn't miss it for the world...

...but my mom would. She's so not into the makeup world and I'm using the "Mom, but if your daughter dresses up as a superhero you get a gift for every thing you buy!" excuse ("But are you going to dress up as anything?" Well I COULD) but so far she's refusing to go. Sigh. 

In other news, my friend Laura recently got an e-mail from MAC talking about their short courses (100% Glamour, False Lashes, Bridal, Makeup Express, etc) and we were thinking about attending one of them. I know they're not particulary cheap, so has any of you taken any MAC courses? Are they worth the money?

Thank you & hope you're having a lovely week!
