I go to Santa Clara University :)

All the MAC Dare To Wear Lipglosses. They are amazing and so pigmented that you don't even need a lipstick at all. All Dare To Wear eyeshadows exept Lime and Free to Be as I already have those. Yet another brush cleaner and another 15 pan palette.

Nice! Glad you are lovin' the new glosses!

How are you liking Grey Uitlity?

I really like it so far, it's creamy and lasts a while on my lower lash line. It's a good alternative to black for day. I bought it to replace my UD 24/7 Gunmetal which I hate, it's probably the least pigmented of all their pencils which I usually am a fan of.

Haul, well more like compulsive buys :) - Mac in the groove mineral eyeshadow, Mac kabuki brush and blender brush, Naked palette I found it in the JC Penney Sephora :) and a few other things that I shouldn't have but I did and it makes me happy :o) oh and I scored a dress that sells at macys for $100+ for 30 bucks at Ross Friday plans: Dinner with the hubs and friends Excited for: my elementary school friends baby shower :) yay for babies!

The MAC kabuki brush is lovely!!

Aw, little Mellan looks like his nap was interrupted by the evil camera!

But it's not fair - he naps all day long!

So does Zena! It's hilarious as she moves constantly. I'll follow her around from the living room up to my room and back downstairs to the living room trying to sneak in a photo or two! Do you know how she rewards me for all my hard sleuthing? She turns her big butt towards the camera!

Haul: In the Groove finally came out where I live, so I got Togetherness and Call my Bluff. Now that I think about it, I should have also gotten Jazzed and some of the lipglasses. I don't know why I didn't :) Oh, and I also bought Over indulgence lipglass.
