Haul: Nothing beauty related this week. I am waiting on the Sephora sale next week and I plan to have a huge haul to report next Fri!!!! x) I did order a new bathing suit from VS- but it is backordered, so I wont have it for another few weeks. Since it’s snowing in Spring where I live (NJ), I am ok with the backorder! LOL.
Weekend plans: Going away tonight just to get away, and am throwing a baby shower for a friend of mine on Sunday. Here’s hoping it goes as well as we hope!!
Last movie: Most likely Wreck it Ralph… it’s my go to movie when I need a pick me up, or if I just want to watch something cheerful!!! I love it… my husband and I dressed up as the characters last yr!!!

And I have to watch Hannibal because I can’t deal without watching that show every week. Tomorrow we’re planning on touring a local distillery (with delicious tastings included) and being a tourist in our hometown by checking out the archaeologic museum at the university. We’re also going out to a Chilean restaurant for dinner. Should be really fun!
What was the last movie you watched?: … Actually, it might be Frozen for me, too! But we’re planning on seeing Noah and Captain America: The Winter Soldier next.
Sounds like a lot of people are waiting for Sephora’s sale! Makes sense 😉
Carrot cake – one of my all-time favorite desserts.
I ordered and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Tom Ford Traceless Stick Foundation and the Sunday Riley Effortless Breathable Primer. I agonized for weeks over whether to purchase the TF foundation and cannot wait to try it.
Ooh, I always hear great things about both!
i’m going to phoenix in a few weeks. the thing i’m most excited for the the Tom Ford counter!!! i really want to try the foundation stick.
Haul: A few items from the Revlon Electric Chrome Spider Man collection – Super Lustrous glosses in Sparks Fly and Electro-Shock, nail polishes in Superpowered and Spidey Sense. I wish I could I say that I wasn’t such a big dork that I practically had a nerdgasm in store when I saw Revlon had done a comic book movie collection, but that would be deceitful.
Weekend Plans: Getting hair dyed, shopping wedding makeup with mom, and working. Ugh.
What was the last movie you watched? Hmm, I boycott the majority of Hollywood films, so it’s been awhile…I think it was probably the Hunger Games: Catching Fire film.
Hahaha! It’s all good. No shame in being excited for it 😉 I collect WoW Murlocs. NO SHAME!

Fixed! Thank you!
Clinique skincare and 2 chubby sticks was the only thing I bought.
Take Rowdy and Bandit to the park and give Rowdy a bath!
Dirty Dancing and the Heat.

Loves the water and getting in the tub! He is really mellow and a delight. Not hyper at all.
Love the Mellan pic!
Ahh, lucky you 😀

I wish i had seen the reviews for the lip stains before I got them. They were 50% off at walgreens so I just picked one up. And I just bought the too faced chocolate bar palette with shadow insurance primer off HSN because they had a $20 off coupon for new customers. I’m so excited to get it!
Weekend Plans: I have my yoga class tomorrow and my best friend is coming over to play some video games, probably uncharted 2, and we’re making baked ziti! So excited! 😀
Last movie I watched: I’m pretty sure mine was Frozen too. But that was also 3 weeks ago I think. xD
So happy you were able to find the Color Tattoos 🙂

Last movie: “Catching Fire” which was SO much better than “The Hunger Games”
What mascara will you be getting?
I got the Voluminous Butterfly mascara in blackest black! I was going to get the Telescopic one, but the VB one was already on sale plus I had my coupon, so I figured I’d try it out. I also sneaked a tube of Maybelline Age Rewind under eye concealer into my basket 😉
Nice!!

Nice haul! Excentrique is one of my favorites. 🙂

Last, I also got the basic bamboo jersey top from Angl in grey and a dusty rose color.
Weekend Plans: Homework (grad school life, ugh), mystery date night on Sunday evening, and then the Walking Dead season finale Sunday night!

Weekend Plans: for the first time in weeks and weeks, we have no plans. Just ironing. Boo!
Last movie I watched: Thor: the dark world, which I got on DVD last week. (Am I weird for thinking that as gorgeous as Chris Hemsworth is, me likee Loki?!) Its been a while since I’ve actually been to the movies I must say.
Congrats on finding your MLBB!!
No, I like Loki too. 🙂
I watched Frozen this past weekend too! I really enjoyed it <3
It’s a great movie!
Haul: Package of three Treat lip balms. Can’t wait to have them in my hands! I just ran out of my last one, so they will be a much welcomed addition back into every possible place I can stash them.

Haha! I am just like that – just with Jack Black instead 🙂
I loved Frozen! Very cute and funny.

Weekend plans: Coffee with my mum then a BBQ dinner with friends on Saturday, Sunday is a quiet relaxing, stay-in-pajamas-all-day day for me 🙂
Last movie I watched: The last one I remember was Pacific Rim – it was terrible and I totally loved it.

Whew! That is a very nice shopping trip, CeeBee! I can’t believe you found Cruel Gardenia 😀
Haul: Jewelry from Etsy, some pajama pants, two tank tops and some Ciate nail polishes.
Weekend plans: I really need to organize my workspace!
What was the last movie you watched?: Chicago.
Ooh, what jewelry?
Haul: I bought the Real Techniques blush brush and stippling brush at my favorite drug store. They were unmarked and the Manager isn’t familiar with makeup brushes so she charged me $5.99 for each brush (ha ha)! Today I noticed they were marked up to $9.99. I also bought the Almay eyeshadows to try in Lilac and Hot Fudge for $2.49. Another steal, so I’ll try them out.
Lastly, I went to the Nordstrom triple point sale and bought some coral lipsticks at the MAC counter: Ravishing, Vegas Volt and the Mineralize lipstick in Style Surge. I’m ready for Spring!
No plans, just happy there are no snow storms in the NYC forecast!
Last movie I watched was a great documentary called “20 feet from Stardom” about unheralded and super talented backup singers, past to present. Fantastic documentary that won an Oscar this year. (The Oscars seem so long ago!). Singer extraordinaire Darlene Love is so pretty and awesome.
Haha! I took advantage of the triple points sale, too, though on a few dresses! 🙂
Haul: Lush stuff (Lord of Misrule bath bomb, Godiva Shampoo, the easter carrot soap and Miranda soap) , MAC Duck powerpoint eye pencil (finally replaced a lost one after 3 years LOL) and MAC Extended Play Gigablack lash.

The Easter carrot soap looks SO cute!
Haul: I’m waiting on a hula-hoop and some arm hoops. 😀
Weekend plans: The Far East Bazaar is happening on base this weekend and I’ve already gone to the park to take pictures of the cherry blossoms! Other than that, writing up more blog posts and editing the hundreds of pictures I took this week of my newest beauty stuff.
What was the last movie you watched?: Safety Not Guaranteed
A hula hoop! I remember I bought a hula hoop to exercise with, and it was so painful to use, I gave up 🙁 Any advice?
The weighted hoops do cause bruising, but once your form is perfected and after you use it for awhile, you can start using Poly Pro hoops which are much lighter. Unfortunately, bruising is inevitable because of the weight of fitness hoops. 🙁
How long do you feel like the bruising period lasts? LOL! I am a big wuss when it comes to that type of pain for some reason.
The IT Naturally Pretty matte vol.1 palette, Too Faced’s a la mode palette, .5oz of Philosophy’s Loveswept and Lorac’s porefection powder. 😀
Very nice haul, Vi!
Thank you. Not too bad a haul yourself. xD
Haul: I placed an Clinique order of my take the day off cleansing balm
Weekend plans: Continuing to plan my apartment reconstruction. This takes so much time.
What was the last movie you watched?: Saving Mr. Bankes – beautiful.
I hope the reconstruction went well, Nicole!
Haul, MAC Cork, All that Glitters, repurchase of Brulée, Girl About town and Up the Amp. also an empty palette. Spent yesterday afternoon depotting older MAC eye shadows. Feels as if I had bought a new palette. My MACs have been in the bottom aof my eyeshadow pile with loads of palettes on top, so I kept forgetting about them.
I love the new shadows aI got, so versatile. I also love, love the lipsticks. I wear Girl About Town a lot, Up the Amp feels a bit more like a statement lip.
The weekend plans are celebrating the dog on his second birthday, on Saturday and just relaxing on Sunday.
Last film, not sure about this, I watch a lot on Netflix, and films I’ve TIVOed.It was a really long time since I went to the cinema to watch a film. I think it might have been the first Hobbit movie.
Mellan is really handsome on the photo.
Have a good weekend, you all!
So glad you had a chance to depot your older MAC eyeshadows. I remember I would forget about ones in pots in lieu of my palettes (when I wasn’t really blogging!).
Haul: ELF Studio brushes, OCC Lip Tar Primary set, Urban Decay Perversion cream eyeliner, Mac Sculpt powder
Weekend plans: Return a few items to Ulta, errands at the Fedex store, maybe groceries (I’m so cool, right)
