OMG IT'S ALMOST BEEN A WEEK!!!

It's almost been a week since I've updated. :) I've had soooo many hauls and I thought I'd share with you girls everything I've gotten lately!!!! :D

RITE AID!!!

I totally COULD NOT believe it when I stepped inside Rite Aid and I saw Jesse's Girl Cosmetics!! :D I was like wowow. Since I am still on my makeup ban (BOOHOO!), I got some nail polishes instead. :) They were $3 which isn't THAT bad, I guess? I also got a few bottles of top coat from Sally Hensen since they were buy one get one 50% off!!


The Jessie's Girl nail polishes are cute huh!? The pink is more of a hot pink! The camera picked up the color weird. They're called Hot Pink and Blue Moon. I don't know WHY it's called blue moon when it's a PURPLE color. Again, the camera picked up the color weird. It ISSSS a deep purple!

ONTARIO MILLS!!!

Last week I had gotten into a huge argument with my boyfriend and I told him I did not wanted to see him for a while so two of my girls suggested going to Ontario Mills to do some shopping to take my mind off of him! :D



I finallllllllllly found a Marilyn & James poster! Isn't it SO pretty! It was $8 at Charlotte Russe. I think it's totally worth it. You can't tell from this picture, but the rose bud and Marilyn's lips have a reddish tint while the rest of the poster is black and white! :)


Went to Forever21 to check out some stuff and came out with these two things. I love their bras - they're only $4.50! :) Contrary to the whole you-get-what-you-pay-for type deal, these bras are really comfortable and last me a while! I have like 5 of these all in different colors!! :) I have a HUGE thing for crochet tops so I bought this one to add to my "collection!" ;) It was only $9.80!!


I finalllyyy found a purple&plaid flannel for under $20! :) This is my FIRST short sleeve flannel and I love it. I like how it has a v-neck although you can barely tell in this picture!


MY HELLO KITTY BUILD-A-BEAR!!!! I had been eyeing this darn cat for a while so I just decided to go on a whim and buy her :) I named her WAI MAO, which is chinese for Hello Kitty. I know I knowwww, my friends & I are just THAT creative, LOL.

BARE MINERALS!!!

My sample finally came in :) I got the free sample (had to pay for shipping though!) of the Peace&Love Mineral Foundation. It came with a mini kabuki brush :D I used it and I'd say it is so-so. Nothing special. It also came with a free sample, a moisturizer of some sort. I've yet to try it so I don't have a clue of it works or not, hehehe.

ELF!!!

OMG my ELF haul had finally came in last week! :D So far I am loving the brightening eye colors and the eyeliner&eyeshadow stick. :) I have yet to try the beloved blending eye brush as well as all the other brushes but I WILL SOON!!! =) The concealer stick is like whateverrrrs.

KMART!!!

So my initial purpose of dragging my boyfriend to KMart with me was to get those oh so famous "KMart flats" for $7! I went and they didn't have size 5 in black, let alone ANY COLOR!!! They neverrrrrrrrrrr have size 5 in anythinggggggggggg! D: Anyways, I was looking through the shoes section when I spied with my little eyes something gold and black and OMGGGGGGGGGGG, they were SO cute!!!!

Adorable, no!?!?!? I tried it on and it fit perfectly. It was meant to be :) They were also on sale from $18.99 to $14.99! :D Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

CVS!!!

I went to CVS with the intention of buying that crease duo brush pack from Beauty of Essense but I decided against it because I am going to Michael's tomorrow to get some Loew Cornell brushes anyways. I went to the teeth section hoping to find Plus White and I DID!!! =D I hear this stuff does WONDERRRS at whitening teeth so I'm going to give it a try. Maybe a future review? :D I also got a new tooth brush and a loofa with a stick attached SO I CAN SCRUB MY BACK MORE EASILY! :)


My friend recommended me Plus White so I'm going to try it :) My teeth unfortunately has a yellow tint due to all the coffee I drink so I've been meaning to whiten them but I cannot for the life of me justify spending $100+ at the dentist for a professional cleansing. So instead, I opted to buy this kit for only $12.99!!! :D

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!

MY NEW BLACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sidekick decided it was going to give out on me so I was left with my old old oldddddddddddd cell phone for a few days. I then decided to get the Blackberry Curve 8900 from the store. I was heading to the store, WILLING TO SHELL OUT ABOUT $500 ON THE DAMN THING, when I decided to go on a whim and look for some listings on Craigslist! I FOUND A LISTING WHERE SOME GUY THAT WORKED FOR TMOBILE WON IT IN A CONTEST AND DECIDED TO SELL IT FOR ONLY $300 BECAUSE HE ALREADY HAD A G1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 I was like OMFGGGGGGGGGGG, this is perfect. So I texted him and he called me back and asked where I lived and I told him Temple City. HE DID TOO! He asked me where I was at the moment and I said I was going down Rosemead Blvd to go back to my boyfriend's house. AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS AT TARGET PLAZA (WHICH IS RIGHT BEFORE MY BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE!) I was like OMFG DON'T MOVE. I'M COMING RIGHT NOW. I HAVE CASH ON HANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! :D

So yeap, that's the story of how I got my beloved BlackBerry<3. I got a cuteee purple and silver zebra case for it as you can tell. LET ME TELL YOU, THIS BLACKBERRY IS THE BEST PHONE EVER INVENTED. I LOVE IT TO PIECES! :)

ANDDDDD, do you girls recognize my wallpaper/theme?!?!? :D

Hauls + Awards ! :)

Now let's see, I'm not one to purposely spend $372409237589032 on brushes and whatnot. If I can find an awesome MAC 187 dupe or an excellent MAC 109 dude for $20 & under, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat. I don't care if the 187 is the HG brush, I could care less of the 109 brush is way softer. In this economy, $ > everything. Translation? I want to save every last penny I can while still being able to get quality items!! Which brings me to the point of this paragraph. THE PHILOSOPHY SUPERNATURAL BRUSH IS FRIGGIN' AWESOME JSDKLFJALDJFKS! :D

I was searching and searching for the perfect brush to apply my Studio Fix one and stumbled upon this awesome brush on the Sephora website. I read the reviews on Sephora and also on MakeupAlley and I was sold. I immediately went to Sephora after work to buy it and I tried it out at home and I fell in love. Applying my Studio Fix was an absolute breeze and it was looked flawless :) I found my HG multi-purpose brush. For $25 a pop, it is a little pricier than I would like but at least it's not like $50 for MAC brushes!!! :D

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Today, I went to Target to get a bubble envelope to send out the cell phone I sold on eBay and decided to roam around the whole store to see if anything that would catch my eye :) As I've said before, I absolutely LOVE Target. It's an amazing store :) Here's what I picked up !!

I have NO idea why I bought the Hello Kitty mini notebook. It was just too cute to NOT get! =P And they FINALLLYYYY have the small pack of Hello Kitty bandaids in stock!! I always alwayyyys have Hello Kitty bandaids with me because I'm so accident prone! -___- Also picked up a pencil sharpener since mine is starting to get all icky and full of eyeliner! x_o I also got a small little bottle to use for the homemade mixing medium I'm going to attempt to make and use for pigments :)

I also got this Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock in SPF 80+. I had seen 100+ at CVS but I couldn't find it at Target so I jus got the 85+ since I didn't want to drive all the way to CVS for just one item. I saw a review on Youtube recently where a girl said this sunblock really works so I decided to give it a try! It's getting super duper hot&sunny here in Los Angeles so we just stock up on that sunblock so we don't develop premature wrinkles as we get older!! :D Once I use it for a few days, I'll let you guys know how it works out

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Recently, I bought some HIP e/s duos from moto says sales and I got the package today. She included some candies and a Intensive Rice-Peptides Mask. :D I can't wait to try to the mask!! Thanks Sarahhh =)

I got all three HIP e/s duos for $4!! I actually paid more for shipping ($5) than for the items itself. Good deal! :D

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Onto the awards I received! :]

I got the Friendship Award from Chomsiri. :D

I got this award from both Chomsiri and April. :DD

Thanks girls!!! :) Right now I'm too lazy to tag anyone else so maybe next time, tehehe. =P

Kylie is such a sweetieeee pieeeee! :)

So last week (the day I discovered this wonderful world of beauty bloggers on Blogspot), Miss Kylie Chen posted on Facebook that she was selling some cosmetics. I messaged her asking to see what she sold and directed me to her Blogspot. I immediately fell in love with this one palette I saw her selling for a measly two dollars. It had such beautiful colors so I quickly told her I got dibs on that palette. That was the moment I also fell in love with reading all these beauty blogs. :) Anyways, we planned to meet up at school (we both go to CalPolyPomona) so she can give me the palette. We met up today and omfg, it was so nice seeing her after like what.. 3-4 months of not seeing her? (we first met in our english class last quarter!) she arrived with a cute little pink bag and she remembered I had told her I specifically loved this one aqua-ish color in the palette, so what does she do!? She threw in a Victoria's Secret glitter eyeliner in the same aqua color! :D And on top of that, she gave me other goodies. :) I basically 7 things from her for $2!!! :O

The palette I bought from her :) The aqua shade I was talking about is the 2nd one on the right!

The samples she included along with an NYX lipstick in this beautiful shade. I can't believe she somehow knew I love soft pink/nude lip colors! :D I also got a little container of Bare Minerals matte foundation! :) She also somehow magically knew I'm trying to start using foundation. Man, that girl is psychic! =P

The VS glitter eyeliner! Tell me that color isn't pretty & I'll smack you! Hahah.

OH & today was the grand opening of The Promenade at Santa Anita mall. It honestly sucked. Other than Boarders, the shops were blehhhh. Totally targeted towards the older folks because there were shops like Chico's and Talbots. x__o I did manage to snag this really cute zebra dress and it was the last one too! Aren't I lucky!? =D

I lovelovelove zebra print, you don't even knowww! Besides Hello Kitty, zebra print is my second obsession :)

Aren't they just SO INCREDIBLY CUTE!? The stickers are puffy. So many adorable different stickers of Hello Kitty doing different things like cooking, taking pictures, and baking! :D

And pleaseeee, I know my bedsheets are Spongebob! =X I am in the middle of washing all my sheets so I had to borrow my sister's while they're being washed, hahahah.

6 Months Anniversary + ANOTHER mini haul !

Hello ladies! Today was the six months anniversary of my boyfriend & I. 6 months! That's half a year! Woooweee, time went by really fast. Seems like just yesterday that boy approached me and my friend's party and asked me to dance. :) Nine months later (today is six months since he officially asked me to be his girlfriend), we are going super duper strong! Today, we started off our evening by going to the movies and we watched Ghost of Girlfriends Past. It was an alright movie, but the ending, OMFG that shit got me tearing up like crazy! It was so sweet and I just couldn't hold the waterworks in! D: Before we actually went inside the mall to go to the theaters, we opened our gifts to each other! :) I absolutely adored what he made/got me because it's what I wanted ! Hahaha. I hope he liked what I made/got him. =/ When we finished the movie, I dragged my boyfriend to Nordstrom so I could pick up Lollipop Loving lipstick from MAC. I. AM. IN. LOVE. WITH. THIS. LIPPIE. It's the absolutely perfect shade! :) After my lippie purchase, I was in the mood for an eyeshadow purchase, LOLS. So I decided to go to Classic for Ladies to look at their NYX trios. Sighh, they didn't have the trio of blues I wanted so I just bought some unknown brand eyeshadow palette. I'm going to try on the colors in a bit and I'll write about it in a later post. :) All that shopping made me hungry, so off we went Guppy's in Hacienda! :) MMM, minced pork over dry noodles with extra spicy oil & popcorn chicken extra spicy. Yesyes, you can tell I love me the spicyness! ;] Once we were done with our dinner and was induced into food comas, we decided to get drinks at Tenju! :D I lovelovelove that tea house. Best peach iced tea everrrrrrrrrrr! :) If any of you girls are from the 626SGV area, GO THEREEEEEEEEEEEEE! :) You WILL NOT regret it and will probably get addicted like I am! =X

That's what the boytoy got me for our six months :)
- A bulletin board with decorations on it because I've hinted before I needed a new bulletin board! ;] The tiger and dinosaur decorations are because I lovelovelove animals and dinosaurs! :D
- He sewed that pillow right there, ladies! That's right, my boy is talented! :)
- The H&M purse I wanteddd! The picture does NOT do the purse justice, seriously!! The material is soooo incredibly soft and it's pretty spacious inside. It can be worn as a shoulder bag or a messanger bag. :)
- At first glance, I wasn't relaly fond of the necklace, but I'm starting to like it. It's unique and it fits my neck perfectly! And yes, I have chest acne. :(

After we went back to his house and I got my car to go home, I decided to stop by Target and get the Boots Original Formula Vanishing Day Cream I had wanted last week but resisted. I have yet to try it, but reviews are good so I'll trust them. :) I also got the Wet N' Wild Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette in Sand Castle that I've seen some girls simply RAVE about. :) The packaging is SO cute and it even comes with a slide out mirror! :D I can't wait to try this one out. I'll be great for the soft brown look for when I want to keep it simple but still a bit smokey. Get me? Hahah. OH & on Tuesday, I got some press-ons from Sallys Beauty. They were SO pretty I just couldn't pass it up. :) This will be the SECOND time EVER I have fake nails on, so wish me luck with taking out my contacts! D:

OMGOSH...

I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.
I will not buy more cosmetics.

I am totally craving to buy MAC Studio Fix right nowwww! The eBay seller really needs to send me my MAC D'Nude lipstick so I'll have something to play with and get my mind off Studio Fix. RAWRRRRR. Anddddd ELF needs to send me my order too! Whyyyy is everyone so slow at shipping!? Or am I just really really impatient...? =X

Edit 624PM; I hate myself. :| I caved in.. within 2 hours! I saw this blog and I just could not resist getting those HIP e/s duos for $1 each. That's a steaaaal. No one would pass that up, right!? :O So, I spent $9 because shipping was $5. I paid more for shipping than I did for all three e/s duos combined. =/ BUT IT'S WORTH IT! (: I love L'Oreal's HIP eye products!

AHHHH!

I lost my UD Wallpaper eyeshadow palette! :'(

On a brighter note, I successfully stopped myself from buying Simply Natural's mineral eyeshadows! :) Sooner or later, I will get the Lollipop collection, HOWEVERRR I am making myself NOT buy anymore cosmetics until everything I've ordered has arrived. D: My mom is like pissed off that I get package after package, hahaha. Let's seeee.. I have my MAC D'Nude lipstick and my ELF haul to go! Can't wait to try out the brightening eyes colors, the brushes, the lipstick, ahhhhhh. The anticipation! =X

Target + LOTD + Organizing !

Okay, so one thing that will become apparent as my posts go on, is that.. I LOVE TARGET! That store is seriously the best store EVER. I live about a 5-10 minute drive from one and wooooooweeeee, can't go there enough! I frequent Target at least 2-3 times a week. :) Anyways, I just got back from going there and here's what I got! :D


Got myself a mini drawer thing so I can fiiiiiiiiiiiiinally be organized with my makeup. :) (More on that later on this post!) I also wanted to see what all the fuss was about with L'Oreal's Voluminous Mascara so I bought one and I'm going to post up a little review about it later on in the week! :) Last but not least, I got a new loofa thing for my shower. Sadly, my little piggy loofa has served me well for 1.5 years but it's gotten completely.. gross! =X

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let's go onto my LOTD, shall we? I totally didn't have time this morning to snap pictures because I was late for work! So these pictures are taken after 7 long hours of work, dinner, and errands-running! So don't kill me if it doesn't look extremely glam or whatever, alright!? =P

Now, onto the organizing part of this blog! :) So recently I was browsing around the beauty blogs and saw someone's really cute makeup vanity table set-up and I was inspired! I decided to rearrange some stuff in my room and turn the bedside table I currently use to dump random junk on into a little makeshift vanity table since I don't have one! :)

Before! Look at that mess! D: The roses and the cute little Buddha lamp, my boyfriend got for me. :) The roses were to apologize to me and the Buddha lamp was part of my birthday present because I had told him that I wanted it! =D

After! Isn't it clean!? OMGOSH, cannot believe it myself! I'm going to go buy a magnifying mirror to put onto there something this week and yeaaaaaaaap. I'm happy with it! :) It's the next best thing I can have since I can't afford a real vanity table right now! D:

New ELF Purchase.

So right now it's 223AM and I'm still wide awake for some odd reason. I usually KTFO whenever I get home from work, but I have no idea why I am so awake right now. So I was just browsing around the beauty blogs I recently followed and I came across the banner for ELF's 50% Studio line from <3's page! :)


I totally couldn't contain myself. I just had to buy some stuff! =X Rawrrr, I got so mad at myself after I entered my credit card information and submitted my order. I am in such a tight pinch financially as of late and this is seriously not helping my bank account/wallet! D:

But what's done is done, right? Tehehe :) At $1.50 a pop, it's a spankin' good deal! I also got some of their regular stuff that goes for $1.

Here's what I got! These are the website's photos; I will post my own and maybe some reviews when I receive them in the mail. :D

From the regular line:


Blending Eye Brush -- I had heard INCREDIBLE reviews about this brush, so I thought I'd give it a go. If I don't like it, mehhh, it was only a dollar!


Brightening Eye Color in Blue Moon


Brightening Eye Color in Drama


Brightening Eye Color in Ivy


Brightening Eye Color in Matte Mauve


Brightening Eye Color in Luxe



I have also heard nothing but awesome reviews for their brightening eye colors, so yknow, I just had to stock up on them! =P Now, onto what I got from their Studio line!! :D





Contour Brush


Precision Brush


Small Smudge Brush


Eyeliner & Shadowstick in Black/Smoke


Concealer Pencil & Brush in Medium -- This will be the first time I've ever used concealer. Believe it or not, I don't touch that stuff. However, I had to buy at least $15 worth of their Studio line to get the 50% off so I just added this. Now that I think about it, I feel I should have gotten Light instead of Medium. Medium might be a tad too dark for me, we'll see. =/ Woooo, I checked on my confirmation e-mail and realized I did get it in Light. Weeeeeeeeeeeee:)


Wooo, that was a long post. :) Well, I guess I should go off to bed now. Toodles!

Edit; Oh & Did I mention that everything was only $20.45 total!? AHHHHH, I love 50% off sales and ELF in general :)
