Haul + LOTD ! :)

Saturday, May 9, 2009
Hello girls :) Today was an errand-running day for sure! The boyfriend drove me everywhere to do my things, thanks babe! <3




I went to CVS to get me a bottle of Bio Oil because I'm getting sick of the popped pimple scars on my forehead. I know my bangs cover them up, but I know they're there and that's all that matters. Lucky for me, it was $2 off!! Yayyy. But that's basically just tax off, but yknow every dollar counts in this economy! I've read reviews and thoroughly researched this product and it seems to be a miracle worker when it comes to scars, uneven skin tones, stretch marks, etc. So I decided to give it a try. The instructions say to use it a minimum of three months. So in about three months, I'll post up a before and after picture for you girls to see, just in case you girls were contemplating this product too!! :D

OMGOSH GIRLS. Guess what!? I got MAC Studio Fix!!!! Finaaaaaaaaaally, after all these months of craving it, I finally got it :) I asked the MUA to help me find my perfect shade. She took one look at me and was like "You're an NC30!" :) She used it on me and I loved it, so I bought it :) My boyfriend said he doesn't see a difference at all, but I do? Isn't that weird!? I can totally tell my skin is more even :D And some of you might be thinking "What about your one month ban from makeup!?" Weeeeeell, I told my boyfriend the only condition I have to this one month ban was that I could still get my Studio Fix since I been pining for it for SO long, tehehe :) I'm so happy I could dance! :D Oh btw, which brush do you recommend to use with Studio Fix? :)

I went to Joann's in hopes of finding the 10 gram small glass screw top containers like the ones used for pigment samples so I can depot my UDPP, but I could only find the darn plastic ones!! :( I read you needed glass ones, because plastic isn't air tight so the UDPP will dry out within a week or so! If any of you girls know where I can buy those, please let me know! I'd really appreciate it :)

My final stop was Walgreens. I intially went there to get the face masks from the Face Shop or whatever that I've been hearing so much about, but I couldn't find any! Grrrrrr. So I went on to find Certain Dri. I don't remember who but on YouTube I remember a girl recommending Certain Dri for those who have an underarm sweating problem. EW GROSS! Well, whatevers! I found it but I decided to buy it next time because I get paid tomorrow so I could wait :) I heard it does miracles ! :)


Anyways, enough about my day. Here's my LOTD :)

Ugh, I need to go thread my eyebrows again! :|

Don't feel like listing out what I used. You got MAC in there, Ulta, Urban Decay, NYX, and of the palette that Kylie sold me. YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO SEE A LOOK I DID WITH THE PALETTE, HERE IT IS GIRLLLL! =) I USED THE PURPLES!

6 Months Anniversary + ANOTHER mini haul !

Wednesday, May 6, 2009
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 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 !

Sunday, May 3, 2009
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:
