Black Friday Haul.

How was everyone's Thanksgiving and Black Friday?? :)

Oh man, I expected to get more on black friday, but the rush always scares me....and the vicious old ladies with shopping carts. Every year I always ALMOST get trampled repeatedly by them. Oh the horror.

I only went to one place for the morning sales, nothing makeup related to buy at Target. I nearly got ran over for a $3 coffee maker for my brother, while he waited for me 5 isles away, fully hidden from the vicious crowd of rabid old ladies fighting for the cheapies. We left Target with only 2 coffee makers and a George Foreman Grill (which I LOVE btw, makes grilling/cooking so much easier for the cooking lazy).

Later in the day I went to Sephora to get the Kat von D bag, no pictures of it right now, but I'll post it later :)

I'm surprised I only left with one thing, which is the Sephora Holiday Magic-Palette in silver. I also got a beauty insider gift, the philosophy moisturizer sample. OMG I have to say that shit smells like CRAP. I can't bear to use it because of the horrendous smell! And I can tolerate smell pretty well unlike some people. I need to chuck it somewhere, where I can't smell it! What a waste of 100pts.

Natural Bronze EOTD


I haven't been wearing face makeup lately because of stress. I started breaking out like crazy, getting random cystic pimples on my face. So I stopped and just kept my face moisturized. Haha so technically, this should be called Eyes of the day.

Update and Long Awaited Collective Haul

HELLLOOOOOOOOO loves!
So sorry for not updating in so long. I'll spare everyone the thoughtless excuses and whatnot. But I do apologize, I really don't know what came over me these past few weeks. I've missed blogging and everyone of you! :)

I've done way too much hauling and not enough posting. Haha I fail a lot, I had all the pictures cropped and saved on my computer and I was supposed to upload them yesterday so I can make my posts at work right now. That didn't quite work out as well as I had expected, boo. But I'm going to post none the less. Before we go onto the hauls, I'm planning on doing a tutorial
soon. Does anyone have any suggestions of what kind of tutorial I should do?

Now that that's settled, ON WITH THE HAULLLLLL.

All of these were purchased during the Sephora Friends and Family sale so I'm not going to put up the prices. I went little overboard though .___.
I LOVEEEEE how smooth these lipsticks go on. And the texture is absolutely heavenly! The only down side is that there's a fake citrusy smell to it, but it goes away after a while. It's not a chemical smell, just....weird citrus candy like.
  • Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 - 1 Nude Beige. This is really similar to Lingerie Pink, but more nudy pink toned. This is my FAVORITE of the three, I've been wearing it just about everyday. It's goregous!
  • Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 - 7 Lingerie Pink. This is a bright light pink lipstick. I like it if I want to make a bolder statement
  • Yves Saint Laurent ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 - 4 Sweet Honey. This is more brown than nudy. I wouldn't wear it by itself but I would pair it with a nice nude gloss to lighten it up and make it less brown.
Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. II - Book of Shadows Vol. II
I have the first book of shadows and I like it a lot. I like this one a lot too but I wouldn't say that I LOVE all of the shadows. I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I HATE shadows with HUGE chunks of glitter that just fall EVERYWHERE. I hate to say it but although I LOVE the texture and pigmentations of Urban Decay Shadows, I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE how some of them have HUGE "confetti-like" glitters that fall EVERYWHERE. To name a few, MIDNIGHT COWBOY. GAHHHHH. Words cannot describe how much I hate that shadow because of fall outs. Nylon comes close....VERYYYY close after a little incident today. As much as I hate some of the shadows, I still bought it because I love the texture. Doesn't mean I'll use the ones with HUGE glitter chunks but I'll most definetly use the ones without them.

Illamasqua Eye Liner Cake - Mislead
I've been lemming after Illamasqua products for a while and I finally managed to get my hands on some. I purchased this one because I've always wanted to use an eyeliner cake. I must say it works really nicely BUT it is hard to get used to though. It goes on SUPER dark and smooth if you add the right ratio of water to the cake. But because of that, it's hard to get used to. The first few times I used it I swear I wanted to chuck it across the room. Haha, but I didn't and I'm glad I didn't. :)

Illamasqua Eye Brow Cake - Vehement
The color that I purchased was the soft black on, not the one in the picture. The color is AMAZING. It's so hard finding a neutral, NON-RED toned brow powder. Now that my black hair is growing back out, I'm glad I bought this because it matches perfectly well. Absolutely NO red tones. I can also control how dark I want my brows to be. Very easy to layer and blend. It also lasts pretty long too, which is surprising for a brow powder alone.


Okay nevermind, maybe that wasn't as much as I thought it was.....but it did put a HUGE dent in my wallet. haha Booo. So much for a bombass post. Gah. Whatever, super belated October favorites post coming soon.

21 October, 2009

It's that time of the month....

Hello lovelies!

No, not THAT time of the month silly. I know it's 4:11 in the morning but get your mind out of the gutter. haha Just kidding. MY mind's in the gutter. There's too much study to be done and did. My brain's not working correctly. I haven't pulled an all nighter in FOREVER, I think that last time I even ATTEMPTED was last year and, mind you when I say ATTEMPTED, I mean tried to stay up past 12, but ended up conking out 30min later. Yeah, I'm THAT weaksauce. That's why I need to study ahead of time. Sure, call me an old grandma but I literally DON'T function correctly for the next 1-2weeks from messing up my sleep sched. I lose/gain weight like crazy, I do/don't eat, and I my insomnia comes back. It really varies on how stressed I am. I feel like I haven't blogged in FOREVER, I finally got my camera back but I haven't had time to edit them so pictures have been piling up. I finally managed to transfer them but no edits :(

Sorry girlies. Anyways I'm pulling my first all-nighter in a year, for those that have done it, how do you do it? Coffee and food make me sleepy, energy drinks work once then wear off (not to mention I hate the gross feeling in my mouth and throat from the excess sugar. yeck) It's a miracle I've stayed up this long.

Let me know! I'll be updating by the end of this week! Thanks for staying with me for so long :)
Here are some pictures to show you how I'm doing.....and my awkward studying habits >___>

Thai instant coffee only works if I drink it once in a while. (like every 3months >.<) Cup made by BFF Janettttt from back in the day.

When I get tired of studying I paint a layer of nail polish then while it dried I go back to studying and so on. This is probably the only time I ever really paint my nails haha. SIGH. They're not that great but it helps me study....kinda haha
