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

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!

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:
