While other people were watching the Superbowl, Skylar and I headed for the mall. And thankfully, it was pretty empty. I surmise most people were glued to the tube. Not me.
I took this pile of empty MAC makeup containers and brought them to the MAC Store
Tip: Every 6 empty MAC containers = 1 free lipgloss/lipstick so save them and turn them in for your freebie!
I traded them for a few other items and…..
…Prrr. I love Prrr
It’s really iridescent and has great shimmer. And you can play around with liners from Plum to Spice and change its look. Super versatile and on your lips, it doesn’t look nearly as coral as in the tube.
I love MAC, period.
I also picked up a couple new-to-me MAC facial cleansers
If I don’t like them, I will bring them back. But I am going to give them a try.
I have serious love for This Stuff so it’s a hard act to beat.
Since it’s essential to have snacks with when going to the mall, I brought this snack bar with us. A homemade Microwave Chocolate Peanut Butter & Oat Bar
And while other people were watching the game, I took advantage of the low 70s and sunny weather and went for a 20 minute run and then 20 minutes of yoga/lifting at home
This is what I saw. I like this scenery better than football.
Stop and smell the roses the Bird of Paradise
And while other people were watching the game and eating Superbowl Food…
…This is what I had for a snack: Special K bars
The underside is pure heaven. Peanut Butter + Brown Sugar + Karo Syrup + Vanilla. Perfect after a hard day at the mall.
From my last post about What I Know, it was fun to hear what you know.
And it seems there are tons of Maybelline mascara fans out there too.
And also I am glad that my discussion of Rules are Meant to be Broken resonated with you, too. Not all “rules” are set in stone. I always enjoy learning what rules you break, or would like to break.
Questions:
1. Did you watch the Superbowl?
As you can see from this post, no. I was way too busy buying makeup and being outside.
2. If you did watch the game, did you enjoy yourself?
3. If you didn’t watch the game, what did you do this weekend?
Fill me in on your weekend and what’s in store for your week?
P.S. If you’re just catching up on weekend posts, here are mine since Friday night.
- Things I Know & Rules Are Meant to Be Broken
- Salsa & Cheezey Baked Beans & Vegetables
- Being Practical
- Challenge: Favorite Shows
- Maca Benefits
- Cookies in the Mail, Winter Workouts
Have a great week!
I’m glad to know that we weren’t the only ones not watching the Superbowl :-)
I did watch most of the game — I had projects and stuff to work on and I was able to do them in front of the tv. Some of the commercials were pretty funny, but the halftime show was HORRIBLE — the microphones didn’t work and the black eyed peas sounded awful. Too bad because I like so many of their songs (perfect for running!)
Good for you for getting outside and enjoying the lovely weather!
i learn all the important things i need to know, i.e. the show sucked, the morning after in my comment fields. thank you for lmk! :)
The roommate took me out for sushi and ice cream (uhh, love her!) and then I came home and worked, spent a bit of time in the kitchen (made a sunflower seed dip sort of based around your spicy Doritos sauce!), and stayed up doing homework till about 2 in the morning!
ooohhh dip. Sounds great!
I warned the Half time show of the Super Bowl. It was terribly funny! I usually don’t mind Blackeyed Peas on the radio but that performance was not so good. The rest of my day was spent reading, playing with my son, and walking outside! It was a fabulous day!
I quasi watched the game! I love football but I was not really into the game for some reason. I biked on my trainer and then ran on the trampoline while watching (oh yeah and played words with friend’s in my phone – I’d say I wasn’t too vested in it!
Omg love love love the birds of paradise
All I know about football is that they use that weird, pointy-shaped ball. Sure was empty at the Y yesterday. I had time to clean out a bunch of shelves and find stuff that was lost probably half a year ago.
I figure today is probably a good day to go grocery shopping; surely everyone is stuffed with Superbowl party-food, right?
What a genius idea to head to the mall-I wish I would have done that!!! The game was on at 7pm here though! Love trading in makeup- i actually just found out that you can do that! I buy so much dif stuff when in reality i’m a foundation/mascara only girl-but you can never have too much makeup!!! haha.
and i saw your tweet about your blog not liking me. lol
there are a couple blogs that make my puter freeze up…not sure why either….darn. Computers are so….strange :)
I didn’t watch! I don’t have a TV and the last thing I felt like doing was going to a party where everyone is married while my boyfriend is away on business. Noooooo thanks. Instead I prepped veggies and meals for the week – I made marinated kale salad, some beet/carrot/daikon/jicama slaw, cooked rice & beans, chopped up veg for salads – then I cleaned my kitchen. My biggest exposure to the game was texting Jon and asking him who won.
I love *some* Mac products – my favorite is their bronzer, its just the right color. I’ve found their eyeliner, the only thing I wear on a daily basis, looks great on application but is too smudgy. I prefer Makeup Forever eyeliner, never comes off, which I desperately need.
I like their liquid liner, in Boot Black.I don’t use pencil liner anymore but I can kinda remember the smudge/non-crisp factor.
I have a friend who does PR for MAC and I saw her this weekend. She brought me a belated BDay gift: Ruby Woo Lipstick with a liner and a Painterly Paintpot – hooray for make-up! I really didn’t care about watching the SB so I took a colleague out for a drink and a nice dinner in my neighborhood – he was in town from Atlanta and he is German so he didn’t care about missing the game either. My Beau was all about it though and was VERY happy the Packers won.
a friend who does PR for MAC…i need one of those!
I love the name Prrr…so fun! I spent the wknd in Disney World celebrating my sister in law’s bachelorette. It was interesting, to say the least!
sounds like there are plenty of stories :)
Thanks for the MAC tip! However, I *just* threw out some eye make up remover and makeup. Damn!
I love PRRR!!
you love Prrr too? that’s awesome and save your empties so you can score some freebies!! :)
Birds of Paradise are so pretty. Glad you enjoyed the game time! We watched a movie and played scrabble. Perfect evening.
I did watch the Super Bowl and it was actually a great game. With two older brothers who were both football players, somewhere along the way I learned to like football. Your shopping trip looks fun, too, though! I love to shop AND watch football–the best of both worlds. :-)
Giiirl, I spent my evening eating, reading blogs, and watching the superbowl commercials on hulu:) I love MAC, thanks for the tip!:)
great idea! I went to the grocery store right when the game started. NO ONE WAS THERE. Loved it. Then I did watch it later with the family. But wasn’t too impressed with the half time show. Bummer, thats whats all about, right? hehe.
Love your special K bars!
