AT LEAST I HIT PAN...??!

I can never say I have successfully "hit pan" on a makeup product before, but I can now! I was in a rush yesterday and my clutzy-self picked up my NEW compact of MAC's Shell Pearl (Liberty of London collection) and somehow it slipped from my fingers, hit the side of my sink, then plummeted to its death on my bathroom floor. Sigh.

I tried picking up the pieces that were still in big chunks and tried to salvage most of the powder without collecting up dust and hair (haha yes, ew...) from my bathroom floor. I'm not sure what to do with my compact yet. So far, the product is still in it's loose chunky pizza-like powder form, sitting in the compact. There will be a day where I drop it again, I know it!

What are my options?
1) Leave it as is...
2) Get a sifter jar, crush it up and use it as mineral makeup...
3) Re-press with rubbing alcohol -- but I'm scared this will alter the softness of the powder!

SIGH. I am quite sad.

MAC Liberty of London

OH HELL YEAH!!
I ♥ LIMITED EDITION PACKAGING!

Well, actually...I just LOVE limited edition anythings. Yeah, the words "limited edition" really does it for me. Why? Probably something psychological where I can't bear to not have it when I can't get my grubby paws on it anymore. So hence why, I am a hoarder. Confessions of a hoarder. New blog name? Hah!
I was able to see this collection at MAC counters at Nordstroms and Bloomingdales already and I am so in love with it. The packaginig is cute but has a retro-ish feel to it. It's not drop-dead bubbly and adorable but it's colorful and somewhat edgy.

What I will be purchasing:
Eyeshadow in Dame's Desire
Blush in Prim & Proper

What I'm contemplating:
Lipstick in Ever Hip
Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl

MAC will be the death of my savings this spring/summer. There are a ton of new lines coming out!! MAC Art Supplies Collection, MAC Pret-a-Papier, MAC To The Beach...

Btw, those links are to 3 of my FAVORITE beauty blogs.
