This week’s Mellan photo…

I wasn’t doing nothin’!

How do you open these things?

Maybe if I push it over…

This isn’t working out so well!

But they smell so good!
Went to the Napa outlets to my Cosmetics Company store and bought the last of their Mac Naked Honey perfumes ( I got four and my friend got three) and also bought Sean Jean Unforgivable Women perfume as well.
I did lot's of online shopping last week including the 3 MAC quads, a lip/gloss and Kiehl's Cleanser and Toner. I tried the toner today and it has a pretty nice consistency and leaves my skin in a good condition. I like it. I'm not excited for the weekend, because my wisdom tooth hurts like hell. I have to take antibiotics and have to wait for 7 long days before the tooth will be removed. So, I'm loking forward to the next Friday.
Love online shopping, but it's so easy to put stuff in your cart, lol! I hope your tooth feels better soon!
Mellan!!! I love the weekly M-dog photos! :) Haul: MAC's Pink lemonade lipgloss. Nothing else beauty wise. I picked up two of those 4-in-1 dresses at Tristan which I am pretty excited about. Excited for: A looooong weekend :) Might pick up Burts Bees Rhubarb lipgloss today and something Essie's new collection (thinking the Green polish I forget the name of). Friday plans: Well it's Saturday now... but Friday was a chill night with a friend. Watched Vicky Christina Barcelona. Gosspied. Ranted about life. Good night. Have a great weekend!

My haul for this week pretty much no makeup since all my money right now is going to textbooks and tuition although I did manage to get a pair of gorgeous boots for fall. I'm excited for Frosh leader training this weekend and my first stint as a Frosh leader My Friday has been all last minute errands before school starts, textbook shopping, lab section scheduling, etc./

Excited for: Trying to get to the mall to get things from Fab Felines collection, i ordered from MAC and literally more than a week and they hadnt shipped so i cancelled it, now i gotta go to my MAC store. :( Friday plans: work, work, work!!
It annoys me that my trusty beauty shop hasn’t received the new essie collection, that’s the only thing I want. Velvet voyeur is dying to be showcased by me this weekend. Excited for hiking/jogging the laurel canyon trail tomorrow with my bf. My sister is also starting baking business so she’s having a tasting party showcasing her delectables on sunday. Mellan is such a babe!
Haul: From the Chanel counter, Joues Contraste Blush in Rose Temptation and Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle. :) So spendy for such a small haul! Excited for: the long weekend! We're going to the Canadian National Exhibition happening here in Toronto. Games, lots of greasy food, and good times all around. :) Friday plans: Nothing! Just hanging out with the BF and kitten! I wonder if she would get along with Mellan?
Haul: Tokidoki brush set, Nars lip gloss in Turkish delight, Diorshow mascara excited for: Seaworld San Antinio this weekend!! Friday plans: packing for San Antonio
Haul: Lipsticks, lipglosses, blushes and pigments from Fabulous Felines, 3 sequin eyeshadows from Laura Mercier, some lipsticks from Avon Excited for: A (relaxing) weekend at home. Friday is almost over, so weekend plans: Sorting the children out for school (the girls start on Monday, my little boys starts on Tuesday), having a bit of time to relax, do some cleaning, washing, etc.
They seem very similar to the Bobbi Brown Black Velvet one (although I haven't worn them and I don't own the BB one), they're also glittery, sort of wet look, and very pretty colours. :)
I will say that after swatching the LM ones... they have similar textures but the payoff is SO different.
Haul: MAC's Full Fuschia Blush, MAC's Peach Twist Blush,Milani Rose Hip L/S. Excited For: Carnival is going on in Brklyn, NY...Labor Day Parade. Friday Plans: Putting the final touches on my Carnival Outfit:) Have a Safe holiday & enjoy Christina.
Haul: I bought Palladio oil blotting papers at Sally's. They're my HG oil plotting sheets. My mom bought Poshe top coat and some files for us. Poshe is one of those few top coats that never bubble. Excited for: Week long vacation baby! I only go to class MTW, and school is out for Monday and Tuesday for Labor Day so I don't go to school until Wednesday! Yay! Friday Plans: Painting my toenails. Bare nails look weird! Oh, Zena would kill for treats! Just make sure those don't contain any ingredients that are bad/poisonous for doggies!
Go me to say "plotting sheets;" I meant blotting sheets! I was just curious because Zena would love those. I'm constantly making sure there's no ingredients like "garlic," "tomatoes" or "onions" in dog treats and food. Good for humans, BAAAAAD for dogs.
Just got home from Sally's and picked up four of the Orly Cosmic Fx I got Lunar Eclipse, Space Cadet, Its not Rocket Science and Galaxy Girl!!! So happy with these Excited for: My birthday next week ...woohooo cant wait Friday plans: homework and get stuff for work done so I dont have to worry about it over the long weekend =) Enjoy your 3day weekend Christine!!!!

I also got the Urban Decay Naked Pallette and the UD Loves NYC Pallette. No more beauty shopping for the rest of the month. Oh, who am I kidding?! :)
