I shopped WAY too much this past week. Eeeek kill me. I now have less than $150 to last me until my paycheck next Friday! AND I decided to return the Urban Decay Naked Palette that I bought on Monday. =( I'd been on the fence about it pretty much since it came out! (Though whenever I look at your review, I want it! Haha, but it's just not practical for me since I have so many eyeshadows at this point.) Over the past week (give or take a few days) I got: - Nars Beautiful Life Palette (I ended up returning the Only You palette after I had the Nordstrom lady order it for me haha. I realized I already had half the colors) - Nars eyeshadow brush, i think the contour or shader one? - DDF Ultralite Moisturizing Dew w SPF 15 - DiorShow Mascara set from sephora (extase, iconic, and blackout) - Perfect Formula Gel Coat - Nars Eye Shadow Duo in Tzarine - Nars lip gloss in super orgasm - Nars blush in Douceur - Venus embrace razor! (liking it so far!) - Guerlain Parure Gold powder - Trish McEvoy blush brush - Nars Eye smudge brush - Nars lip gloss in luxor - Sephora Platinum airbrush - Sephora by OPI set of minis for fall - Nars eyeshadow in Mekong I also tried to get the Nars Rajasthan duo and their yochiyo brush, but the nordstrom counter didn't have it! I'm pretty sure that's a good thing, because i really don't have this kind of money to spend lol. Oh and i bought 2 rings at forever 21 and a top from H&M. annd on the bright side, a good bit of the stuff i bought was with sephora store credits? annnnd in other news, I'm excited for the weekend! one, I love the weekend, and two, a boy that i'm hanging out with is back from a weeklong trip! =)

I hauled quite a bit this week: A BBW perfume, DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom, MAC Grand Entrance, MAC Moon River Mineralize Blush, and MAC Bonus Beats Lipglass (from CCO), the new STILA Travel Palette, some ULTA stuff plus the free gift clutch, Straight Sexy Hair Straightening Balm,and probably some more stuff that I forgot. I feel really bad that I spent all that money :-( I am getting excited to go back to school and I hope we both have great years! I am also really excited to spend the weekend with my boyfriend and the night with my friends tomorrow!

Haul: Recently found an excellent Asian brand called Missha. I bought a couple of their nail polishes (excellent ones for a very cheap price, by the way) in a nude beige, light blue, coral pink, and another darker pink. Also got their "Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel, which is for gently exfoliating your face. The site has great reviews for it, so I decided to check it out. I also got the "M Shimmering Oven Blusher," which is apparently a great highlighter. :) If you're interested in trying out some Asian brands, I'd recommend Missha. They also have awesome BB creams. Their online US store is http://misshaus.com Excited for: Getting these products in the mail and going to Santa Cruz on Sunday!! Friday plans: They've already happened. Hung out with friends in San Francisco's Japantown and went for some yummy Thai food downtown!

Haul: .Mac lipstick in sandy b. I reall love it!!! Its my fisrt frost but such a nice nude color with shine! And clairs oil based eye makeup remover. ( Which gets off ALL macs eyeliner, even though they say only theirs will and it smells like strawberrys!!!!) Excited for: yard sale'ing and flee market tomorrw.

I just went to Sephora yesterday. I hate going to Sephora. I want so many things! I wound up buying Urban Decay's Lip Junkie gloss in Perversion, their lipstick in Oil Slick and Apocalypse, their Naked palette and a gift for someone, which I won't share just yet, because she might read this. I also went to Lush just because my shopping buddy wanted to go, but the saleslady gave me a bunch of samples (The Godmother, Herbalism, Trichomania and 13). Today I went to MAC and bought their blush in Fever, Raizin and Loverush. I tried the dazzle lipsticks, but I didn't care for them so I skipped. I'm getting ready for my college orientation, which will be at the end of this week. It's overnight, so the fact that the Lush lady was so sample-happy the other day is great for me (I can bring my samples with me)! I'm all excitedly deciding what to bring. I'm so dorky. Also, I'm counting down the days 'til I can apply for a job at a MAC counter or a Sephora. 51 days and some hours as of today, August 13! (It sucks not being 18. BOOOOO!)

Haul: NAKED PALETTE!!! Finally!! :) Excited for: BSB concert & relaxing the rest of my summer Friday plans: dinner & relax

Haul: I ordered the UB Naked Palette on Wednesday, hoping it will be here by Tuesday. And I just picked up Orly Cosmic FX in Out of This World, Halley's Comet, Galaxy Girl and Lunar Eclipse. I couldn't wait to try them so as I drove home I painted my nails (at red lights of course!) Excited for: going to play mini-golf with the fiance on Sunday! Friday plans: make a 'to try' list for when I go to Sephora tomorrow afternoon. I like going with a game plan!

Big haul today! 3 MAC Lipsticks: Viva Glam Gaga (I thought it might be too bright, I was wrong!), Angel, and Sweet Bits MAC Dare to Wear Lipglass in Dare to Dare 2 MAC eyeshadows: Mulch and Bronze Nars Blush: Sin Nars Lipsick: Outsider Urban Decay eyeliner: Ransom Sephora lipstick (I can't tell the shade, they don't write it clearly...) Kat Von D Momento Mori Palette I'm so excited for this Tuesday. I'm going to Raleigh where they have a bunch of stores and brands we don't have here like Bobbi Brown and YSL. I want to check them out! (I'm considering getting the denim rose palette, hm...) I saved up a bunch. Plus, that night, I'm gonna see Maroon 5! Yay! I'm done for my Friday. I have to finish my book for my 'summer reading project.' Ugh. But, I did go to the mall (for my haul) and my friend and I saw "Dinner for Schmucks." He's a huge Steve Carell fan. Gonna go see Scott Pilgrim Monday. EEK! Christine, don't talk about violins! I haven't practiced this summer! I'm gonna stink when school come back around :(

Haul - Nothing this week. But last week I got quite a bit. 2 Coastal Scents palettes (warm 88 palette and 10 color blush palette) UD Naked Palette, Kat Von D Love & Fury Palette, ELF Blush and Bronzer duo Exited for - My birthday party coming up next month, lots of planning to do! Friday plans - Absolutely nothing! for once. Im usually working like a dog because we don't work on weekends, but we're off today.

Haul: I ordered a bunch of brushes from Costal Scents, I needed to replace some that were wearing out. I made it all the way downtown (2 miles walking!) to return something to Sephora and I forgot the receipt! Oh well, I'll go tomorrow. I might hit Lush as well since there is a tax holiday in Mass this weekend! Excited for: Having tomorrow off - the only day I have totally off. Very excited about some job prospects, but more scared then anything! Friday plans: Going to a friend's going away party, I'll miss her so much. It's a big deal for me since I do not do well in social situations, but I'm trying to get excited by curling my hair and getting dressed up!

Hauls: I bought 6 shades of L'Oreal lip infallible colour in Beyonce red, Azalea, Thistle (my new everyday favorite!), Mulberry, Rosebud and Hibiscus. I also got 2 tubes of Maybelline mascara (Great Lash and Falsies volume lash) because they are my secret weapon for killer faux looking lashes! ;) At my hair salon, I bought Davines shampoo and hair conditioner in LOVE - they are both in a milky pink color and is scented with figs. Excited for: I am just happy to be finally free of all my impending deadlines (jewelry deadlines and paying bills deadlines). Oh, and I finally found the perfect red lipstick: L'Oreal lip infallible lip colour in Beyonce Red. Not only does it stay put while eating a cheeseburger, I don't get any of it on my teeth or those nasty bleeding lines. It has replaced my Chanel Dragon liquid lipstick for sure - and got it on sale at Walgreens! For me, this red lipstick is the HG. Who would think I would have found it at my local drug store. This week has been a truly pampering experience for me! Friday plans: Well, sometime today I have to prepare for tomorrow's class I'm teaching. As far as fun stuff, I am hoping that my local Sephora or Ulta will have the UD Naked palette in stock so I can stop by and get it. The hubby and I may even go see a movie. Maybe we'll finally get to see Inception. :)

Haul: Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Cream (tossed up about this one, still may return it for Clinique all about eyes), Tarte Smooth Operator Finishing Powder, Narcisco Rodriguez for Her EDT. Excited For: Weekend at the chalet, swimming in the lake and spending time with family & friends:) Friday plans: Hanging with fun and taking advantage of the long summer nights. I saw some leaves changing color already here in Canada and it freaked me out! I don't want summer to leave:(

I discovered my local pharmacy now stocks essie nailpolish - for $24.99NZD each, so I only bought four - Not Just A Pretty Face, Innocence, Angora Cardi and Charleston plus I got a free 3 way glaze and apricot cuticle oil, so that kind if made up for the fact I dropped a hundred bucks on nailpolish alone... Plus I got Guerlain Rouge G in Gracieuse, KissKiss gloss in Fraise Au Croquer, a Bobbi Brown palette and an Estee Lauder translucent powder compact. And now I have no money left...(but lots of pretty things so I'm happy!) Weekend looks like a bit of a write off, it's dark and gloomy and pouring with rain so I might just stay in bed with a book. I am doing my fiances little sisters ball makeup tonight though, so that will be fun!

my haul was just today: MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo (and I B2M for it too! love it!), lip pencil in Cherry, and Lustreglass in Spring Bean. Never would have thought that a green l/g would make a red lip pop, but it does! The best part of my week was passing my first nursing clinical, and I can't wait for the weekend because my best friend is coming for a visit tomorrow!!

Haul: UD Naked palette, Alice + Olivia pigment in Partylicious (I still haven't used it - I don't know how!), three of the Dare to Wear eye shadows (Going Bananas, Shock-a-holic, and Zingy. My store was out of Sassy Grassy), and two permanent shadows (Shadowy Lady and Carbon). I also got some Sonia Kashuk stuff from target. Excited for: I'm going to the Lady Gaga concert tonight!! I got VIP tickets for my birthday and I can't wait(:

I got a whole bunch of e.l.f. stuff at Target the other day. I saw an end-cap and couldn't resist. Inexpensive!

haul: liquid lurex and creme d'nude. went clothes and shoes shopping also to maximize bank account damage. excited for: visiting a friend i haven't seen in awhile! friday plans: celebrating my mom's birthday, watching a movie with my brother.

HAUL - Some jumbo page marker post its for university. EXCITED - for Reading Festival in 2 weeks. FRIDAY PLANS - it's 8pm now so I'll probably just watch some Family Guy.

Haul: Notebooks at $00.15 EACH at Wal-Mart. Seriously, having no money means no make-up which means giggling at 15 cent, good-quality notebooks at Wal-Mart. Okay, so the cover is a little flimsy, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little stock paper and glue. : cackles : Excited For: Um, buying more notebooks? It doesn't get better than fifteen cents. Friday plans: None. Oh, you see how Mellan uses his front teeth to pull on the ends of the rope? That's EXACTLY how Zena rips apart her toys. The only difference is that she's doing the play bow (y'know, front legs on the floor with a** up in the air) while she's ripping apart said squeaky toy. Funny to watch, disastrous for the wallet unless you're good at patching toys together like me. Even then, one can only repair a toy so many times.

Love Mellan and his toys! My haulage was mainly lippies this week: MUFE Rouge Intense in #23, Cle de Peau Extra Rich in #4 Calliope and Estee Lauder Pure Gloss in Tempting Tearose. I also picked up a L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara (for nostalgia) and a Milani LE nail color in Truth Or Bare (very nice peachy nude...surprisingly long lasting, too).

Not much for make-up...although I did buy MAC Graphology, some hair shampoo/conditioner from the body shop, and got Hug Me with Back 2 Mac. But I also got my wedding shoes and earrings! Super excited! I had trouble picking those 2 things out! Excited for my man's birthday today and having 2 day of work! Yeahness! Good luck with school Christine!

Alice + Olivia, Digi Pops/Digi Dazzle and Dare To Wear all came out while I was on holiday last week, and I was so worried that the MAC UK website would sell out of most of what I wanted. Almost as soon as I got home on the Saturday, I placed maybe the biggest MAC order I've ever done (their fault for bringing out all those collections at once). I missed out on Partylicious, which I really wanted, but other than that I got what I wanted. I got: If It Sparkles pigment So Rich So Pretty nail lacquer Baby's On Fire, Hot Sass, Naughty You, Snazzy and Troublemaker lipsticks Dare To Dare, So Bad and Gimme That! lipglasses Sassy Grass, Crazy Cool, Going Bananas, Shock-A-Holic, Zingy and Louder Please eyeshadows and 2 empty eyeshadow palettes I also received in the post NYC 'Spring Street' nail polish and Miss Sporty 'Ultra Shine Lipgloss' in 'VIP Look', both free from an online Superdrug giveaway. It's going to be very quiet here from tomorrow, as my ex is having the kids for a week (he only does this once a year) so I took them to the cinema this week instead to see Toy Story 3 in 3D - our first 3D film (can't have him getting the credit for it lol). I've booked myself into another bellydance workshop this week, which I thought I wasn't going to be able to go to because of the kids, so at least I've that to look forward to.

I meant to add: Great Mellan pic as usual! Excited for: first weekend off in about a month Friday plans: not sure...just spending time witht the bf!
