Shopping Haul =]

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:56:25 GMT

Happy

Easter!!!

So yesterday I went shopping for 7 hours, I'm still tired >__< haha. I bought some things from haul for the first time, some O.P.I nail polish and a couple of other things...

I got the 'honey I washed the kids' soap since everyone is loving this so much I decided I should give it a shot. It smells great!

The therapy massage bar. I've only used this once and I like it but I'm not so crazy about the scent. I don't know how to describe the scent but the smell isn't too strong so I can live with it.

I'm so excited about this!! the 'comforter' bubble bar! Its sooo big! And I hope the bubbles will come out pink. I think this is around $8 in Canada. The thing is, this is not priced by its weight like the soaps are, and you can see that some pieced are a lot bigger than others. So I dug through the little pile to find the biggest one, and I think thats what you should guys too if you get this.

L-R: 'Goldilocks Rocks' - Sweetie Pie' - Dancing in the Isles'

I am soo happy about these! I've always wanted to try O.P.I nail polishes but never have since I've always thought they were so expensive, but when I decided to get some while shopping there was a sale for 3 nail polishes for $10! I couldn't give up the deal, they are normally 9 bucks but now I got them for around 3 bucks =]

I also got these lashes from the Face Shop for $4. Whats cool about this is that you can take one lash and cut it in half and then get a pair, so it total you get two pairs of lashes from this box. I can't wait to try these lashes out at work tonight, if I like then I am so stocking up on these!

Last thing I got was from Mac, and that is this dazzle glass in 'rags to riches'. I wasn't going to get anything from mac originally but when I saw all the dazzleglasses I couldn't help myself. I picked up this one since it caught my eye, its a really pretty pink with a lot of different colors of shimmer in it! Sooo pretty! I tried to swatch it but everything came out more orange than it really was =[

The Stila Star Set

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 22:09:41 GMT

Hey guys! I'm soo happy! I just got this package from sephora and its my stila star set!!

So this set is $55 from Sephora (online only) and everything in this set if full size, which is one of the reasons I looove this so much. I mainly got this for the Marrakesh quad, which is $38 by itself, but I also wanted to try some other things since I have not tried Stila before.I loove the eyeshadows so much, the colors are perfect for me and Stila eyeshadows are so soft! I really want to try ordering some more from them.

So here are the prices of everything in this set if you were to buy them separately: The eyeshadow quad is $38, the tinted moisturizer is $32, bronzing powder spf 15 is $28, the plumping lip glaze is $24, the smudge pot is $20, the liquid liner is $16 and finally the #15 doubled sided brush is $32.

So if you were to buy these things by themselves then all of it would cost around $190!! thats crazy, and the whole thing if you buy it online from sephora is only $55!! I really like this set and the fact that everything is full size made me even more tempted to buy it. If you are new to Stila and want to try a range of their products without breaking your wallet than I really recommend this set!

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:47:06 GMT

Hey guys, I've been looking at this stila eye quad... and I reeally want it :) haha. This eyeshadow quad in Marrakesh (the warm one) is soo nice...

But the thing is that I don't want to buy it online from sephora or beautymark, or any other online cosmetic site. But in Vancouver its hard to find stila stuff, theres little bit here and there but I've never seen this quad. So if any of you know where I can find this.. please inform me :)

February favorites

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:46:26 GMT

Hey guys, so this is just a list of products that I have been really liking for the past month :)

1. Mac-tinted lip conditioner in Pink Fish (from the Hello Kitty Collection). I love this so much! The colour is just so pretty and this conditions my lips really well.

2. Mac-cremesheen glass in Partial to Pink. This lipgloss is a very nice colour and looks really nice with the Pink Fish underneath it. Its sort of a "bubble gum" pink with very little shimmers in it.

3.Urban Decay- eyeshadow in Sin. I have this colour from my ammo palette. It's weird, I've had this palette for a while but I've never really noticed Sin before, but now I loove it so much. Its a nice pale peachy-champagne colour with shimmer. If I'm going to a Sephora this summer, I think I'm going to get a full size of this shadow!

4.Mac- nail lacquer in On the Prowl. I've only had this for a while but I am in love with this colour. Its a colour that I have never had before or have something similar to it.

5.Mac- Powder blush in Hipness (from the Fafi collection). I know this blush is sorda old. But throughout this month, almost every morning I'm using this blush =] Haha, and I'm not sure why.. maybe its because it is very natural looking on my face and a little bit is all you need.

So this has been this month favorite products. I'm sorry that most of them are from Mac.. I know some people hate that :\

Early Little Birthday Gift :)

Sun, 22 Feb 2009 07:08:54 GMT

Hey! So tonight I had an early birthday dinner with my family (my birthday is coming this Tuesday) and this was the only time everyone in my family was going to be free...so thats basically why we had the dinner tonight. And my brother surprised me when he gave me a little present and inside were two things from the Mac Hello Kitty collection that I didn't get because I was scared I was going to be broke, haha :) Its funny, I was trying to imagine my brother in a mac store :D and he was telling me that the person that helped him out was way to happy and smiley.. but I like the happy people in Mac ^__^

So here are some pics of the things he got me (again, sorry for the bad quality.. my dad lost the camera somehow -__- oh well, it'll show up around the house sometime.)

He got me a lipglass in 'Fast Friends', which is a very sheer purple, almost pink colour with a little bit of blue-white glitter in it. Soo preeettttyy =] He also got me a nail lacquer in 'On the Prowl', which I think is the nicest nail polish in the collection, its soo unique :D Heehee, I'm soo happy!

Mac-Grand Duos

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 22:04:35 GMT

I can't wait till this collection comes out. I think it is coming out March 9th in Canada and the U.S [Correction: The Grand Duos are scheduled to launch online on March 10th and in stores March 12th -sorry for the mistake!], I'm not so sure about other countries though (when I find out I'll tell you guys!) From what I can see from the pictures I think I want to get Moon River, looks soo pretty :)

Here is what Mac says about it:

“Mineralization has swept the beauty nation but MAC makes the next move with Grand duos: mineralize blush that has a marbleized mélange on one side, and a complementary mono-shade on the other.

Soft-shimmer super-shine pearl in a pretty tricolour veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones, followed with the pop and dimension of solid colour shimmer without an overly frosted look. The 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush makes the transition magnificent. A sophisticated but simple new way to get you vital minerals.”

Friday, February 20, 2009

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:48:29 GMT

Hey! Haven't posted anything in such a looong time! I was really sick for a while.. I missed a whole week of school -__- there was soo much catching up to do, but I think I'm all caught up now :) I had a fever of 104 degrees and then I thought it would be smart to take a cold shower since it was so hot. Yeah... not a smart idea, I ended up with a cold. And since my immune system was so weak I also ended up getting bronchitis because some virus got in. So yaah it was terrible! But I'm glad it is all over!

And on the day the Mac Hello Kitty collection came out I had to head to my MAC store to see all the things!! I was soo excited for this collection! All the packaging is sooo cuute! I'm a sucker for adorable packaging... I know... lame ;)

I ended up getting four things that I reeeally wanted! I don't think I went over board this time =)

I got a beauty powder in 'Pretty Baby' which is a nice pale-peachy pink, nothing too crazy. And of course the packaging is just soo adorable! The little hello kitty head imprinted in the powder makes me smile every time I open it and use it, haha =]

Next I got the 'Too Dolly' eyeshadow quad. (From Left to Right) There is yogurt, romping, too dolly and stately black. I believe that the yogurt one is the only one that is not limited edition and the rest are.. I loove the colors soo much! I like using the yogurt to blend out any harsh lines with a blending brush. And too dolly is a very unique and pretty color.

And of course I had to get a lipglass! I got one in 'She Loves Candy'. Its very nice and sheer with very fine gold sparkles in it. Looove this!

And the last thing I got from the Hello Kitty collection is the tinted lip conditioner in 'Pink Fish'. At first I wasn't sure if I should get it or not. But after thinking about all the people talking about this saying how much they love this I decided to get it. I am so glad I got it! I love this color soo much! So cute and pretty. I also loove how smooth it is and it smells nice too, haha.

I also had to get this! This creme sheen glass is from the Creme Team collection. Its is 'Partial to Pink'. I looove this color soo much and it looks fantastic with pink fish underneath it!

Swatches:

(From Left to Right) 'Pink Fish' tinted lip conditioner w/ SPF 15, 'She Loves Candy' lipglass, and Partial to Pink' Creme Sheen Glass

Mac: 217

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 07:10:31 GMT

OHEMGEE~~ I just got my first mac brush!! The 217! Yaay, I'm soo happy! It was about 30 dollars I think. But I'm sooo happy and excited! Its my verryyyy first mac brush. I think I'm gonna do something like what fafinettex3 does, every paycheck I am going to get a mac brush that I want, because I obviously don't want to buy them all at the same time...

So here is the description of the brush from maccosmetics.ca...

For shading or blending of colour or creamy products. This brush has fine, densely packed fibers that are arranged in an oval shape. M·A·C professional brushes are hand-sculpted and assembled using the finest quality materials. They feature birch, linden and ramin wood handles, nickel-plated brass ferrules.
17 cm

I haven't used it yet, but after I get an idea of how the brush is I will tell you guys how I feel about it!

YAYYY =]

Yaay, I'm soo happy I got my first Mac palette last night!!! Heeeheee, along with three shadows.. moon's reflection (top left), deep truth (middle left) and swish (bottom left). The other two I had before and I depotted them, I was so scared that I was going to break one of them :S
