Aww look at Mellan! I love it when big dogs run, but a bit less if they’re dragging me along 😉
Haul: Got some stuff from Rouge Bunny Rouge (Florita blush, Olive Violetear and Eclipse Eagle eyeshadows) as well as some Dior mascaras and another Rouge Dior (there was this big sale and I couldn’t resist)!
Weekend plans: It might sound funny but I’m looking forward to going to the Hard Rock Cafe in Brussels with the fiance! He’s a big fan of Lennon and he’d be happy to see some of Lennon’s stuff there!
Food you could eat all day, every day?: My first thought was pasta, then I read your answer and now I can’t stop thinking about pizza!
Pizza is SUCH a satisfying meal, and there are so many flavor combinations to be had!
Haul: Disney Collection Jasmine Magic Carpet Ride Eyeshadow Palette, Tokyo Milk Dark Femme Fatale Collection Lip Elixirs in Salted Caramel No. 36, Sephora Collection Creamy Body Wash Caps in Toffee, Chocolate, and Green Tea, Urban Decay eyeliner in Smoke, Maybelline Color Tattoos in Barely Branded and Matte Brown and polishes in Antique Teal and Brocades, Color Club polishes in Baldwin Blues, Covered in Diamonds, Savoy Nights, and Vintage Couture, Rimmel green mascara, Jesse’s Girl Eye Dust in Key Lime, Wet n Wild polishes in Emerald Rock City and Penny For Your Thoughts, Fantasy Makers kits in Wicked Queen and Vampiress, Nail Tek Foundation II, nail striping tape, Sally Girl polish in Butta, Revlon by Marchesa nail strips in Brocade (minus the file, buffer, and cuticle stick since someone seemed to have removed them), Sinful Colors polish in Black Magic and Faceted, nail strips in Boo!! and Trick or Treat, and jewelry from Hautelook.
Plans: Care for my sick hubby and baby.
Food: Homemade Mexican by my mom, tia, or abuela. Comfort food. Jajajaja!
Hope your husband and baby get well soon!!
Haul: Hmmm… let’s go to Sephora! And then have my teammates and coach see what I’d be hauling in… and my questionable shopping habits. Maybe a few nail polishes… The Sephora X explosives seem great.
Weekend plans: Swim meet in Marin, and trip to San Francisco on top… explains the shopping.
Food: Sushi- specifically Salmon (Sake) Nigiri or Horse Clam/Geoduck Clam (Mirugai) Nigiri. I wish I can ditch dinner with the team for my sushi fix. Hey, it’s swim meet food! (So is Nutella)
The Sephora X range is HUGE!
Haul: MAC 109 Contour Blush, Shiseido Foundation Brush, MAC Studio Fix Fluid, MAC Pearlglide Liners in violet and Brown, YSL Gel Liner in Cerise Noire, Maybelline Fit Me Stick
Weekend plans: begin with Christmas shopping
Food: i’m crazy about Sushi
Did you get the round, slanted Shiseido foundation brush?
Haul: NARS duos in Elsa, Nouveau Monde, Paramaribo, & Indian Summer; NARS Multiple in Luxor; NARS single Barbuda (all on ebay-I’m waiting to do my NARS haul when the Guy Bourdin collection is released). I also picked up a NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Purple Velvet, a concealer, and 2 lipsticks (Circe & Summer Love-I do love “concealer lips”); 2 mini Dr. Jart Premium BB Creams; Pond’s BB Cream; 2 Too Faced Chocolate Soleil minis (Sephora 100 point perks).
Plans: Nothing particular planned. I got laundry done yesterday, so some light cleaning, and if I get around to it, playing with my Vice 2 palette from last week.
Food: My latest obsession is Birthday Cake Oreo’s… Bacon is a close second, though!
Nice NARS haul, Amy!
I’m sloooowly whittling down my “list”, LOL! I have about 10 “must-haves”, and a few items I’m still considering, plus 4 of the Bourdin eyeshadows, but I’m confident I should be done before Christmas.
Weekend plans: See Gravity this afternoon, give Bandit a bath tomorrow!
I hope you like the movie! 🙂
Excellent movie! Highly recommend.
Haul: Maybelline Born With It, Real Color Pokerface eyeshadow, Revlon Colorburst lipgloss in Orchid, and e.l.f. matte lip pencil in Rich Red. I also picked up Lancome Le Stylo Waterproof eyeliner in 401 – Turquoise for my mother’s birthday because it’s the closest dupe I could find for Estee Lauder’s Electric Teal…which must have fallen out of her purse and is now lost to us. (LOST. L.O.S.T. Out of all the products I give her, she loses the irreplaceable one!)
Weekend Plans: WORKING. Doubling back two of those days, too. And laundry. I’m sort of behind. >_>
Food you could eat all day, every day? Sushi! Om nom nom.
Fingers crossed EL re-releases Electric Teal!!
Hmmm….I need some brushes
I will watch the movie my friend’s in(main role in a surreal romanian movie) 😀 Idk if this weekend or another one
I love pizza too, including that one with blue-green cheese…i don’t like meat that much and i don’t want the ketchup to be spicy. I also like McDonald’s (bad :(( ), Pasta is nice too, with sea fruit….and I like snacks…and biscuits…damn. I like eating a lot of cherries
What movie is your friend in? How fun!

■Food you could eat all day, every day?: DESSERT. Especially creamy, gooey, caramel-ey anything. And if there’s cake with it even better. And obviously pizza. I mean, you have to alternate between sweet and salty! 😀 Ah, what a happy life it would be if one could eat all the yummy yummies without consequence.
He has crazy bursts of energy!
Okay, what’s your favorite caramel-something-rather?
Haul: My god, I hauled a ton from the Makeup Show Orlando. Tons of NARS, OCC, Ofra, Cult Nails, Cinema Secrets, Lolade, Xtreme lashes, Ellis Faas, etc

From tom onwards our festivals will start in full swing:
1. NAVRATRI ( nine nights ) FESTIVAL – it will be for 9 days and 9 forms of GODDESS is worshiped , most of the people will keep fast and will only have fruits/ fluids … no grains . We keep one pot (in Hindi called Kalash) filled with water and keep coconut over it … on 9th day, we break the coconut and then distribute it and then worship children .
2. DUSSERAH , OCT 14th : the 10th day of NAVRATRI is dusserah , it is symbol of victory over evil, you should read it in wiki dear … its hugeeee you know , especially in some parts of INDIA it is very significant , like in MYSORE , they have special events for this festival and its world famous .
3. KARVA CHAUTH which is on 22nd oct : married ladies keep fast for their husband and will not drink / eat anything whole day … we do pooja which again varies across India , in night , we see MOON with strainer and then see our husband’s face and he gives us water and then some sweets and break our fast …
Unmarried girls also keep this fast out of interest.
4. DEEPAWALI , on 4th Nov : the biggest festival of INDIA and money is spent in every possible form … in the form of new clothes , sweets , lighting , crackers , gifts and what not … so its the COSTLIEST FESTIVAL i must say 😀 its 3 days festival and on 3rd day , it is called “Bhaiya dooj” , meant for brothers and sisters ….
I am sure am not missing anything but you must read it in wiki dear: D: D each and every festival is different in all the communities and they have diff. Significant and being celebrated in different ways: D

I bought the guerlain provocative that you reviewed yesterday. Yes, you’re right the color is not very impressive but guerlain makes my tiny lips look bigger so it’s worth it I guess. The combination of pinky red and your a+ review meant that I had to have it

Eat hummus all day.

Weekend plans: Doll Meet with my ball jointed doll group Sunday, both dolls and humans in costumes!
Food you could eat all day, every day?: I have to second the Sushi (so yummy, so many kinds!) but a close second is salad. I don’t think I ever make the same exact salad twice. I eat it nearly every single day. Fresh herbs FTW.

Popcorn chicken is delicious though 😉
I love popcorn CRAB even more!
Haul: Ordered a few Riri <3 Mac items, but they haven't arrived yet. Bought the Lavish pallete from Anastasia (my first of her collection), which looks amazing. Also got the Too Faced iPhone pallete, just because of how cute it looked online. Not as cute in person, LOL.
Weekend plans: None, just relaxing 🙂
Favorite food: Would have to be sushi… I could be as full as anything, and someone says "sushi" suddenly I'm hungry again lol.
