Which IT brushes did you get?
I purchased the Your Beautiful Basics brush set and the brow brush
Nice! 🙂
4 Trench eye shadows? Did I read that right. 🙂
They discontinued it 🙁

THEY WHAT??? How can they do this to me? I only just discovered it! Ugh.
A chocolate festival? Color me envious!
Yup! I can’t wait to discover more local brands! Everybody knows about Godiva and Neuhaus, but there are a lot of small brands here that are great 🙂
Drooool – there’s nothing like Belgian chocolate!
Having lived here for some years, I have become a chocolate snob. I literally got ANGRY on a flight once because they gave me a piece of I don’t know what labeled as “chocolate.”

No I don’t believe so! Thanks for the heads-up tho. I’ll look into it!

Weekend plans: Out tonight, then essays the rest of the weekend.
What’s your favorite thing to do at home?: Hang out with my cat & boyfriend. Also not wearing structured pants – sweats or jammies go on within 5 minutes of getting home!

I also got sin, But had to settle for regular packaging as the Toledo was sold out!

Weekend plans: Patent research on electricmechanical tethers.
Favorite thing to do at home: At home-home, snuggle with my dog. At school-home I like to watch makeup videos on my couch while wearing a blanket. Sweaters are for people who don’t have blankets to wear.
Your weekend plans are so high-level, I instantly got flashbacks of school and went to hide, lol!
I’m kinda hiding from them now. Organizing my highlighters is the same as reading and highlighting, right?
My dad gave me $20 for the new Sailor Moon collection from Geek Chic for Valentine’s, so I’m just waiting for those to ship.
What I’m doing this weekend… editing more vlogs. Planning blog posts and videos. I did an interview with ABC News so I’m just waiting for the article to be written up. Still waiting on a response back from another major news site for a nice opportunity.
Favourite thing to do would obviously be Internet 😛
How exciting! Congrats on the interview!
Is that a beauty mark on his ear??? That’s the cutest thing ever. I have a feeling Mellan and Phoebe (my schnauzer) would get along.
Haul: Maybelline Brow gel (with the ball tip), Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara, MAC Toledo blushes in Azalea Blossom and Kindergarten Red, and I just placed an order on Hautelook for Illamasqua ESP, Fable, and Posture lipsticks 😀
Weekend plans: I honestly don’t know. I’m on standby for a couple of friends; they both had family members pass recently, so I’m just going to make myself available in case they need me.
Favorite thing to do at home: Cuddle with the bf and Phoebe, then watch Netflix.
It is, hahaha!
I got one Trench because I’m still unsure if this will be my base shadow for the long term. (It’s very slightly a bit too gray but I still love it).
Are you aware that Burberry has a new shadow formula? Supposedly it’s just as good as the old one but this one can be used wet or dry. Interestingly, most of the sheer colors (such as Pale Barley and Rosewood) are now available in this new formula, but no Trench. I wonder if Trench will come out later on. Do you happen to know, Christine?
Haul: Nothing this week and it feels so great to say that!
Weekend plans: Probably just the gym, its so cold here in NY that even leaving the house for that is a struggle. And I’ve been purging things in my home so possibly more of that.

Well, more snow has changed our plans. My friend whose birthday we were to celebrate is in another city and driving probably isn’t the best idea so we’re going to put off her visit for 2 weeks.
Haul-wise, I forgot that I finally was able to find (and purchase) AG BB leave in hair conditioner (I was surprised that the beauty supply near my gym didn’t have it but a store in the mall did). It’s quite nice but I think I still prefer Alterna’s CC.
