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.
