M·A·C HAUL: FALL LIP COLORS

I usually tend to stick to neutral colors throughout the year, but this year, I decided to make a little change. I got me a few lip products from M·A·C last week and love love love the colors! I got M·A·C lipsticks in "Plumful" and "Rebel". And to go with "Rebel", I decided to pair it up with M·A·C Cremesheen Glass in "Loud & Lovely" with M·A·C lip pencil in "Magenta". "Plumful" is a nice everyday lipstick, while "Rebel" on the other gives you bolder lips. "Magenta" can intensify the brightness of "Rebel" and "Loud & Lovely" tones it down a bit. I love how you can play around with colors to get the look you want.

HAUL: RED CHERRY LASHES

I happened to be at Longs at the right time last week, because their Red Cherry lashes were 25% off making them only $2 a pair. I haven't tried this brand before, but from what I hear, they're really good. I went back a few more times to get dupes, but unfortunately the selections were limited. Have you guys tried this brand before? If so, what's your favorite(s)? Let me know how you feel about these lashes ;]

E.L.F. HAUL

A couple of weeks ago e.l.f. had their anniversary, so everything on their website were 50% off. I've been waiting for this opportunity to get a hold of a few of their mineral lipstick since I'm in love with the only one I have in "Rich Raspberry". A few turned into 9, then my sister wanted me to order some stuff for her, so I added 2 more mineral lippies to her order since there was a couple that I really wanted to try. Now that I have 12 out of the 18 they have, I'm hoping to get the rest the next time they have another 50% off deal. Why pay the full price when you can get it half off right? Stay tuned for swatches!

E.L.F. FACEBOOK EXCLUSIVE 50% OFF SITEWIDE

I've been waiting for one of these. I love the mineral lipstick in "Rich Raspberry" they had sent me for free and been wanting to try out the rest of the shades. I know they always have some kind of deal, so I was in no rush in purchasing them right away. I wasn't about to pay full price when I could get them for 50% off! I bought 9 shades for under $30, shipping included. Not bad huh? Use code FBHALF on orders $20+ by 7/10 8am EST. Can't wait to play with them :]

I told my bf I was putting an order for 9 lipsticks. He said, "I don't even want to know how much you spent on them." lol I can be a smart shopper too!

Scored another Steve Madden handbag from Ross :)

Been kinda disappointed with Ross since every time I go in there, I don't find anything good. But finally, something worth spending my money on :) I love finding really cute and expensive handbags at a bargain price. This was totally worth $40!

SALON PERFECT DEMI WISPIES FALSE LASHES

Salon Perfect's Demi Wispies are my most favorite drugstore lashes. I usually get them at Walmart for around $3 a pair, but they tend to run out of these things really quick. So I always stock up when I do see them back in stock. I was surprised when I saw that they sell it in packs of 4 now for around $8.

What I love about these lashes:

• Inexpensive
• Clear band
• Flexible band (easier to work with)
• Comfortable
• Not too dramatic (great for day and night)

Goodluck!

BFTE COSMETICS HAUL

A little over a week ago, Beauty From the Earth Cosmetics had a back to school sale on their mineral makeup. I was very fortunate to have caught the sale on the last day since I've been wanting to try out their mineral eyeshadow for some time now. The sale was 6 sample size mineral makeup for $8, it's usually $2 each. You could pick from any mineral eyeshadow, blush, or foundation.

I love how the website is organized into colors and finishes, so it was very easy for me to shop. I didn't plan on getting 24 samples, but the colors in the shimmer finish were so gorgeous, I couldn't help it. I was surprised that they also upgraded one of the eyeshadow to a full size jar ;] I haven't had time to play around with them, but hopefully I'll get to do some swatches soon. And if they turn out great, I think I'll go get a few more from the velvet frost finish next time.

ROSS HAUL

I went to Ross a few days ago to see if they have any cute tops I could use for school, instead I came out with these:

• Simple Pleasures Nail Polish Assortments $4.99 - I saw this while standing in line and I just had to get it. Really great for nail polish and cupcake lovers or it would make a really cute gift.
• e.l.f. Mini Eyelash Curler $1.99 - I don't own a mini eyelash curler and it was the last one on the shelf, so why not buy it right? I have really short eyelashes at the corner of my eyes, which doesn't get curled with a eyelash culer, so I'm hoping this can do the job.
• Hello Kitty Cosmetic Pouch $3.00 - It was a set, but I guess someone stole the lip jelly, nail polish, press-on nails and hair clips that was suppose to come with it. Oh wells, I thought this would make a cute pouch for coins, makeup, etc...

FIRST ORDER FROM BORN PRETTY

 Last Thursday, I got these in the mail. They are my first Born Pretty purchase ^___^ I was expecting it to take 2 weeks to ship, but got here sooner than I expected. They were sent out on July 29 & got them on August 4. So that's less than 1 week! Not bad for international shipping.

Here's what I got:

50 Pairs Flase Eyelash Set $12.34

 50 pairs eyelashes in 5 different styles
1 pc clear glue
1 pc Eyelash applicator

#001

#007 (I used these in this look here)

#010

#014

#113

10 Pairs Natural Eyelash $4.32

10 Pairs Short Lower Eyelash $7.28

#113 

(I think they sent me the wrong one! They sent #113 instead of these, so now I have 2 of these)

See, they look the same right?

#201

 I love the packaging on this one ;]

Other than a possible mix-up, I'm content with everything. I love the eyelashes, especially that they're very inexpensive ;]

NYX SLIM EYE PENCILS PT. 1 (GLITTER)

I was at Longs last week at the NYX section admiring all the pretty colored eye pencils. I decided to check out Cherry Culture first if they were on sale there before I make any purchases there. And of course they were! They were only $1.75/ea. & it's free shipping if you spend over $40. So I decided to spend up to that much & put that extra money for shipping towards more eye pencils ;] I'll be doing the swatches in segments so all the colors aren't crammed. Anyways, onto the swatches!

I'M IN LOVE LOVE LOVE WITH MY MUJI DRAWERS!

I waited all day on Monday for the FedEx man to deliver my Muji drawers, but they didn't come ;[ Then bright & early this morning my sister came to my room holding a huge box ^__^ And I knew it was my drawers! I was so excited, I went straight to organizing everything in them. Unfortunately, it only fit my eyes & lip products. I need more room for my face products. And it can't fit M·A·C Paint Pots and anything that has the same height to that, so I'm planning to get the larger drawers next.

MUJI Acrylic Case 5 drawers

I love how it has rubber grip on the bottom so it doesn't slide easily 

if you stack it on top of each other or on any surface.

It's pretty clear, I don't know why the other photo makes it look like it's not.

They packed it really nice & secure. I got everything in one piece ;]

I didn't mind too much that it didn't come yesterday, because my order from Cherry Culture came in ^__^ I was expecting it to be here later since my last order of the NYX lipsticks took almost 2 weeks. But I put in some order for these NYX Slim Eye Pencil on July 27, so that took less than a week ;] 

SWATCHES TO COME!

STEVE MADDEN CROSS-BODY HANDBAG

I swear I'm running on Cali time lols. I wake up at 4am, which is 7am Cali time O__o? Anyways, my family decided to do a little shopping yesterday, along with our client. We ended up at Ross, which is probably my favorite place for good deals. First place I went to was their accessory department. Nothing caught my eye until I went to the clearance section. It was love at first sight!

Original Price: $98.00

Ross Price: $39.99

Ross Clearance Price:  $19.99

I Paid: $15.99

I love love love Steve Madden Handbags <3 Unfortunately, as I flipped the flap over to inspect the inside, I noticed that the turnlock to fasten the flap was missing. I was sorta heartbroken about that, but I figured I could probably find a way to fix it or replace the lock somehow. For the amazing clearance price, I couldn't turn it down...broken or not. I got hooked up with a 20% discount too ;] & my mom offered to pay for it. Later when I got home, I found the missing turn lock in one of the pockets, but there's no way I could fix it. Now...where do I get a new turn lock fastener?

E.L.F. HAUL ;]

I love receiving packages in the mail ;] Today, my mailman came to my door to deliver my e.l.f. haul during their 50% off Studio!

I'm pretty excited that they're here, but there are two things that I'm really bummed about though.

1. I didn't get everything I ordered since it went Out of Stock like the blush "Candid Coral" which I really wanted ;[

2. This cracked and it's probably my favorite out of the bunch. Well...not really too bummed since there's a whole lot of it and just a tiny portion is messed up.

 I got me:

3 - Matte Lip Color

2 - Lip Stain

1 - Cream Eyeliner

9 - Blush

9 - Eyeshadow

3 - Lip Balm

1 - Angled Eyeliner Brush

And a FREE Mineral Lipstick

I'm thinking of doing swatches, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot out there. But I'll think about it. I'm thinking more of doing looks with all the eyeshadows and blushes ;]
