Hi Lovess! So what have I been buying since the failure of Project 10 Pan?? Well for starters this is my most recent batch. I've actually accumulated much more withing the past 2-3 months of not posting but I don't remember what I have shown and what I have not. I started taking pictures but then I always leave a whole bunch out so I fail once again! T___T But I'll try to get all of the new stuff together. Or just start doing reviews on them haha, simple enough.

ANYWHOOO. I purchased all of these sometime last week during the memorial day weekend and the week before. You probably have noticed that some of the stuff are from the MAC To the Beach collection. I totally forgot when the collection was released so I missed out on the Marine Life Highlighter Boohooo. Oh wells. I think I'd feel that it's too pretty for me to use so I'd never use it and you all know how much makeup I have accumulating ALREADY. haha So I'm not too heartbroken about Marine Life. The rest of the stuff I got at a CCO outlet nearby (actually, like 1hour away -___-). I'm trying out a new format for my pictures now that I'm making my comeback posts haha. Let me know how you like them! :)

I do realize that I bought a lot of face make up, well face products in general so I have a while to go before I get to reviewing them all O_o. Hahah oh man, what have I gotten myself into. But it's okay, expect reviews on a few of these things. Face makeup will be slower obviously but none the less keep a look out for those :)

Till then♥

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.

Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone had a good hauling experience today! I know I did despite driving 4-430ish hours from one outlet to another, haha. Crazy I know.

SO. Most of you probably don't know but after makeup my second obsession is shoes. I don't have alot but I have pretty bad lemmings over them. Too bad I can't find as great of a bargain on shoes as I can with make up haha. Not to mention I have wide feet so it's a little harder to find shoes for my awkward feet. (and peeptoes hate me btw) ANYWAYS. I only bought one pair of shoes yesterday but I'm super happy with them :)

hehehehe. CVS is having a Revlon BOGOF sale and I couldn't help myself.......
yeahhhhhh I bought 6 Revlon Colorstay quads. SIGH. If you haven't noticed by now, I kinda go crazy when there are sales >.<>.<

That's all for now. I think I'm starting to get lazy with swatches haha. I feel so dirty having so many colors on my arm. I feel like I'm making the colors commit polygamy or something. LOL That's such a weird way to put it. But yeah I have alot of the other ELF studio products that I've already purchased before back in the day when they first launched the studio line. So if you guys want swatches of those just let me know. I think by now the only thing I don't have a a selected few shades of stuff if they come in multiple shades and the mascaras and the false eyelash kit. Feel free to requests! I get brain pooped on what to post sometimes haha :D

Hello all! Here are the swatches of the ELF Studio line eyeshadows and blushes. I'm liking them ALOT. They texture is really nice (not as great as NARs per se but near that level) but don't put too much pressure on them if you're using your fingers (I did for the swatches haha) or else powder will come loose because they are not that tightly packed. But very pigmented none the less so there is no need for a heavy hand :)

I have a FOTD that I'll post up later today using a lot of the ELF studio line products. I'm very very surprised because I know a few of the products I was struggling to decide whether I should get them or not because I predicted that there would be huge chunks of glitter in it (I am a total glitterphobe) but surprisingly all of them, in stead of chunky immature glitter chunks, have gorgeous iridescent sheens to it. It's SO prettyy, especially if you combine it with a matte color :)

anyways enough of my babbling, on the the swatches!
All of the swatches are pretty true to color except for a few that I've mentioned. Enjoy!



Palette Swatches and the ELF makeup remover review coming soon! :)
Haha I'm trying to get as many posts until classes start. Then I'm effed.........once again. LOL >.<

How are your ELF hauls? :)


**EDIT: WHAT THE FRUITCAKE. LMFAO I just got an email saying my 3rd ELF order just shipped.......and I placed the order last night. It was a joint order with a few of my friends too so there's a rackload of stuff in that order. By far my biggest order haha and it only took 6+ hours to process before I recieved my shipping information?! LOL I guess ELF knows I love their products? haha I find this funny.

So my second ELF haul came in today. YAY Comepletely made my day. This is my studio line order. I already have a post on what products I bought, but here's a picture of my haul. I'm most definetly going to do indept review on the products, but from first impression......let's just say I'm SUPER IMPRESSED. hehe. I have pictures of everything in a compact. I'll put that up tomorrow with the names of the products and what shades :)*I forgot to include the new face kabuki boo.

Haul time!

So my first ELF purchase just came in today! YAY 16 lipsticks from the mineral line (for 20bucks too! yayy!). Just to be warned, if I was buying each lipstick individually I would have been extremely mad. Why? Because the swatches on their website are complete BS! They look NOTHING like the website swatches. So instead of just taking pictures of them I rolled them up so you can see the color also :)
Hope it helps you choose which color you would like to get if you're staring hard at the swatches online. hehe oh and btw, the color of the lipsticks are slightly lighter than in person because of the flash, so keep that in mind. Other than that they're pretty much true to color :)

Murad Oil-Control Mattifyer w/ spf15
Benefit sample lipstick in Lady's Choice
Sephora Super Shimmer Lipgloss trio (Birthday gift for beauty insiders)
Urban Decay Lip Primer Potion
Maybelline Superstay Liquid Foundation in Classic beige
Maybelline Superstay Concealer in Cream
..............and 2 shotglasses the bestie bought back for me from Ocean City...lol....

SIGH, so I got into a car accident today, which was NOT my fault at ALL! But yeah you know how that just dims your mood and just the rest of your day. So I headed over to the mall with my bestie and did some retail therapy, which did make me feel a little better. Haha, the Murad was definetly an impulse buy. Right before I checked out I went and grabbed it because previously I was debating on whether I should buy it or not, whether I really needed it. But today because of my mood I was just like "eff this" *runs and grabs it and payed*

Reviews for these will definetly be coming in the future. so stay tuned! :)




P.S. Did you notice the new layout?? Now you can follow my blog via.....whatever you like to read your blogs in. :) I will put up a new poll sometime soon (The last one Revlon won, hehe.)

Memorial Weekend Haul

I couldn't help myself. :(

Memorial Weekend Haul

Holy shieeeeeeezznit. I have some raving reviews coming up soon! But yes yes. I bought makeup. I know I'd doing Project 10 pan but UGHH just watching youtube videos with makeup guru's hauls gave me an itch to buy cheap cosmetics with AMAZING color payoff. I couldn't help myself. But good news, those purchases were amazing, even with just swatches I feel as if these products would soon become favorites. Second piece of good news though is that I am almost done with my bi-facil makeup remover and IPKN toner, YAY! :) ANYWAYS, I'm heading off to philly tomorrow at the wee crack of dawn for asian grocery shopping with my mom. I need to head off to sleep soon so I'll post up more detailed information and pictures from my haul

CVS is having a Buy one get one FREE sale for WetnWild Cosmetics only for sunday and monday. So get your products while you can. I'm such a sucker for bargains and I've been seeing 50% and 75% off stickers on selected products at my local CVS. But I had been good and looked the other way whenever I saw the hot pink and lime green circles. Today, I was just like eff this, I'm screwing over 10 pan for a BOGO sale, might as well get some other make up to review.

What I bought

• WetnWild Silk Finish Blush in 831D Pearlescent Pink
• WetnWild Bronzzer in Bali Bronze and Light/Medium
• WetnWild Silk Finish Highlight and Contour Blush in Triple Threat
• WetnWild Mega Eyes in Egyptian Sand
• WetnWild H20 Proof Felt Tip Liquid Liner in Ultra Black
• Loreal Voluminous Eyeliner in True Brown
• Loreal HIP Mascara
• Sally Hansen Extreme Wear Nail Polish in Black out, White out and 2 other pinks colors (forgot the name)
• Physician's Formula Lip Plumper in Pink It

Total Products: 13
Total Savings: $37.87
What I forked over: $24.56

DANG I would have spent a little over $60 if it were not for the sales and discounts O_O
But yes yes. Reviews coming up soon, ESPECIALLY about wetnwild. I never knew such a cheapie brand could have such a good color pay off. I am stunned beyond reason.


Keep checking back for more updates bebees :)
and Have a great memorial day weekend
