Remember, even though certain collections may feature some permanent items such as the last lip kit I mentioned in this blog where every lip product is in the permanent line, it is the ball decoration it comes in and the white cap as opposed to the black cap that makes it Limited Edition. Keep in mind as well that they may be much smaller than the regular size. I really wish MAC wouldn't feature so many permanent products in Limited Edition packaging. It's honestly not worth the price hike. 

I hope you enjoyed this blog. Remember to leave your comments & questions below.

Beauty Tips of the Day

I'm back...I needed a few days off after losing my cat to Anemia. No, I didn't starve her. Her previous owners neglected her and abandoned her when they moved away.

~The best time to pluck your eyebrows is right after your shower. The heat helps loosen the hair follicles which makes it easier & less painful. 

~The best wash for your face when you have pimples is an oil-free & fragrance-free cleaner that is also pH balanced.

~Every girl wants healthy nails, eat a diet that consists of 50% fruits & raw veggies & drink plenty of water every day.

 ~Wish your eyelash curler curled your lashes a lil more? Well they can. Use your blow dryer to heat up your eyelash curler. Don't get it too hot other wise it'll burn your eyelid. 

~Vitamin A & Calcium deficiency can cause nail dryness & brittleness.

~Want your hair to grow a lil faster? Massage your scalp! Massaging helps improve circulation which promotes hair growth.

~Want your lips to look pouty & sexy? Of course you do. Dab some shiny gloss like M.A.C Lipglass, in the center of your top lip.

~Did you know that Citrus fruits, like Oranges & Grapefruit help hold your skin together by forming collagen? Well, now you know. So try eating a citrus fruit everyday.

I hope you enjoyed tofay's Beauty Tips
