This week’s Mellan photo/video…
Went to Walgreens in search of new summer collections, no luck… Mellan got Lambchop instead!
Haul: My boyfriend bought me Tarte Dollface blush (he’s such a keeper!) and I bought myself the Benefit getting cheeky set with Posietint, Cha Cha tint, and Sunbeam. My mom always turns in her credit card points and gives me the gift card so I got my hands on a $150 Sephora gift card! She’s the best mom ever!
Weekend plans: Came home from school for the memorial day weekend so spending some quality time with my mom!
When do you take your vacation(s)?: My college is year-round……so never! My boyfriend’s coworker let us stay at her house in Newport, RI for a weekend last November, but that’s it
Both an awesome boyfriend and mom you have there! 🙂
jealous of your new blush, and newport is FUN. excellent!
Haul: Just Target so far this week. I got the ELF Translucent Setting Powder and a Maybelline waterproof eyeliner, because I’m toning down my summer makeup.
Weekend plans: Puppysitting, gym, and going to the Bronx Zoo on Sunday!
When do you take your vacation(s)?: Thus far this year, my plans are camping next weekend and in August, and going to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire in September!
Puppy sitting! How fun!
That is quite possibly the cutest thing I have EVER seen!! 🙂
🙂

Glad you liked! <3

Weekend plans – Have to work a half day on Monday, otherwise i’ll be relaxing.
I take my vacations twice a year – one in the summer and one in the winter.
How are you liking Naughty Nautical?
Waiting for it to come – I couldn’t find it in any of the stores near me so I ordered it from Ebay! It was shipped the same day I bought it, so I should have it soon!
Mellan always looks adorable!
Haul: I finally got the giorgio armani summer palette! I love it. I also got a rouge d’armani lipstick in pink and one of the new glosses. I went to a mac counter yesterday but didn’t end up buying anything. I was really unimpressed by the new collection.
Weekend plans: I am working saturday! It is going to be a really cold and rainy weekend here 🙁
When do you take your vacation(s)?: Since I am still in university, I have the summer off and that is when I tend to travel.
Do you have a favorite place to travel, Nadia?
Anywhere where there is a beach! How about you Christine?
Aww this is the cutest picture of Mellan!
Haul: Bare Escentuals Brow Powder in Dark Blonde/Medium Brown, BM Angled Brow brush, Soho London Beauty Sponge(pink football shaped one @ walgreen’s), 3 Maybelline PureStay Foundation Powders because Walgreen’s had them on clearance b/c they aren’t carrying them any longer(my HG for ten years!)
Weekend Plans: Similar to yours Christine! We planted a garden for the first time and we have to tend to it. We really screwed up though…we didn’t label which row was what, so now we have rows of veggies coming in…but we don’t know which veggies are growing where lol:)
When do you take your vacations?: I moved from Miami, FL but my mom still lives there and I go to see her every year. I love it there! This year my mom wants to come to KY to our house and I’m begging her to just let me come to FL:)
On the bright side, veggies are coming in? 🙂 What did you plant?
Haul:
LaVanilla Vanilla Grapefruit Rollerball
UD Naked Foundation (refilling!)
Samples: Sheishido Laquer Rouge & Laura Mercier Radiance Primer
Weekend Plans: Staying local! Getting hybrid tires for our bikes; going to a farmers market & a crab fest; watching movies in the theater; bike rides & hikes!
Vacations: We never take vacations in the summer. It’s too busy and expensive and we don’t have kids so we travel off peak 🙂
We like to travel off-peak too! 🙂
Haul: Estee Lauder Pure Sheer Roller Gloss in Succulent. The scent of this along with the rollerball applicator totally brings be back to elementary school when I used to collect all the LipSmacker rollerball glosses. I also got a second jar of GlamGlow SuperMud, Dior Creme De Rose lip balm, MAC Embrace Me Lip liner, and I finally broke down and got Candy Yum Yum.
Weekend Plans: Take the three or four quizzes our teachers have so considerately assigned for over the weekend. Apparently they don’t care much that we didn’t get a break between winter semester and summer semester thanks to our clinicals and this will be our first day off since March.
When do you take your vacations: Whenever I get a break from school. Unfortunately, in PT school you don’t really get all that many breaks.
Aww, I hope you have a bigger break coming up soon at least!
Our next break is August, but we get the whole month this time since our program is moving to the university schedule. One more year and I will be done!
Yay!!
Haul: chanel powder universal, origins cleansing oil
weekend plans: relax and enjoy the summer – we just started gardening (veggies & herbs) The EarthBox is fantastic for our non-green thumbs!!!
vacation: staycations!
lambchop’s my girl!
I love a staycation 🙂
I will checkout Earthbox!
Mellan seems to be loving his new toy, he looks so relaxed. 🙂

He goes from cuddling to tossing her around — I think it’s a volatile relationship!
Aww. At least he doesn’t bite/tear her apart. 🙂
On another note, I was really disappointed that my local Maybelline counter didn’t have Coral Burst yet, the sales associate seemed so clueless and looked at me like I was crazy or something.
I totally gave up asking associates, because they never know when or if something is coming! (I’m sure that’s not their fault at all!)
Awww, I love Lambchop!
■Haul: Nothing again. I have a couple of gift cards, but can’t decide if I should get a few things from MAC, or save up and get a Guerlain bronzer.
■Weekend plans: Going to see some college friends!
■When do you take your vacation(s)?: We take short weekend trips whenever we can, then we try to get away for a week or so once the kids are out of school.
Do you use bronzer a lot? I feel like it’s either a staple or something one has but doesn’t use often. If it’s a staple, save!
Haul: this week, I tried to behave! I got MAC Underdressed from Temperature Rising. I did a small Sephora order after I saw they had Philosophy body wash in Rainbow Sherbet – I got 2 bottles! To get free shipping, I added in OCC nail polish in Pond.
Weekend Plans: it’s my birthday this weekend!
Vacation time: this year, I am taking a few days in June and a week at the end of July.
Christine, the “vanity” feature is so much fun! I love getting to add goodies to it!
I’m so glad you are enjoying the Vanity, Jessica! 🙂
This is absolutely the sweetest picture of Mellan – how adorable!! Big hugs!
🙂
Haul: Got2B’s new sea salt spray, and a ridiculous amount of stuff from Belgium (check the blog :-))

Any special occasion for the champagne?

Weekend Plans: Heading to the Asian Festival tomorrow (down town Columbus) with my boyfriend.
Summer Vacations: We tend to go to Montauk, NY the first week that everyone is done with classes (in Ohio, that is). That’s usually early enough in late May/early June that tourists aren’t there and kids in NY are still in school. So the beach is quiet and empty ;P

Weekend Plans – shuttling my daughter to extra dance rehearsals for her recital; prom make-up, 50th birthday party (I am a planner), church and family bbq.

When do you take your vacation(s)?: I don’t vacation often, but I generally go in the fall and mid-summer if I do.

Weekend: master degree classes, going out, I will be probably picking up another lipstick too, maybe a blush also if I´m lucky.
Vacations: I have vacations in Christmas two weeks, in Easter also two weeks and in Summer a gigantic nine week vacation. This may vary, but they are the general vacations I had most of the time in my life, only this year will be different since I´m in the process of graduating.
Just wanted to comment to say LAMB CHOP! My older sister absolutely loved that show when she was a kid. It’s nice to see that Shari Lewis’ daughter is still performing those characters. I need to go to Walgreens now…
Haul: NYX Love in Paris Shadow palette in C’est La Vie, NYX round lipstick in Fig (finally found my “my lips but better” shade, NYX single shadow in Sparkling Cedar, L’Oreal polish in Not a Cloud in Sight, and Revlon polish in Gold Coin. Biggest haul in a loooong time.

Haul: Nothing! I’ve been very good these last few weeks, though deep inside I know I am waiting for Temperature Rising to arrive in Mexican counters :)!
