Haul: BeautyJoint order came in: MILANI Color Statement Lipstick Raspberry Rush, NYX Wicked Lippies in Trickery & Sinful, NYX Macaron Lippies in Orange Blossom & Blue Velvet, and NYX Wonder Stick in Light.
We got a new larger MILANI display at my one Zerhs, but I lost my Raspberry Rush and they don’t stock that shade even with the display expansion. So it gave me an excuse to place an order with BeautyJoint. 😉 Also got ELF studio line in for most products.

Weekend Plans:Finally wrapping up Girl scout cookie sale events! After today, my daughter is on spring break. So, next week, I will be trying to entertain her and work and she will be going bananas bored with her friends driving me bananas,lol!
On my nightstand: I have a picture of me holding my daughter when she is about 2 days old and I am looking down at her. It’s one of those photos someone took while I had no idea.I also have some “jewelry” she has made for me over the years in a little dish and note she writes to me about once a week and leaves on my nightstand. She’s a sweet,thoughtful little girl. A true blessing. I am not married and at this point, with my health condition, I doubt I will be ever. But she gives me enough love for a life time.
So glad you were able to do a pre-sale for your MAC goodies, Nicole! Hey, guaranteed by April 2nd is better than stalking all night, LOL!

Aww Mellan is such a cutie! Since Target is closing its doors up here in Canada (sob sob), I tried to snag as much makeup possible before it completely shuts its doors at the end of the month. Although not as much as I would like since they were never in stock in the first place! Grabbed 2 revlon lip butters in Cupcake and Sugar Plum (I never tried it when it first came out), an Annabelle bronzer (which I think is the Canadian sister of Rimmel, their packaging looks so similar), a Sinful Colors polish in Endless Blue, and Sonia Kashuk lip liner-Rosewood and lip crayon-Pinky Nude. Really liking the SK products. Have a great weekend!
So sad about Target going away in Canada! 🙁
At least you were able to grab a few things!
Aww, I want to hug Mellan and take a bite out of that Peeps pillow!
*Haul – Sephora Lustre Matte in Fig & Cranberry (love both), Neutrogena Shine Control Foundation with SPF20 (it’s just for my oily lids), got the Lorac Pro To Go Palette during the flash sale but had to return it.

Don’t worry, he totally took a bite out of the Peep pillow for alkl of us, lol!

You can do it! Only one more week 😀
Haul: went to both the winners near me and found some really nice stuff from shiseido and one thing from Cle de peau.
All of the shiseido items were 9.99 so a ridiculously good discount and the cdp item was more pricey but still cheaper than from a counter.
I got a cle de peau eyeshadow single in 105, a shiseido eyeshadow trio in tropicalia, a shiseido eyeshadow single in VI720, 2 shiseido shimmering cream eye colours in BL711 and BE204, and a shiseido the makeup multi shade enhancer refill in terra cotta glow(that last item was slightly more than the other shiseido stuff) but yeah, saved a ton of money and probs wouldn’t have checked out the brand otherwise.
Plans: breakfast with a friend, job interview, go for a walk, maybe seeing a friend
What’s something you keep on your desk/nightstand/dresser that makes you smile: me and some friends in a photo
Wow! $9.99 for Shiseido is CRAZY!
Good luck on your job interview!
Haul: well I /wanted/ to buy MAC Pearl Blossom beauty powder, but the MAC is Beauty collection hasn’t gone up online yet. So nothing this week.
Weekend Plans: Yard work.
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile? I have a tiny painting of a peacock feather that my best friend did for me on a mini easel on my art desk.
Hopefully it launches on Monday!

Weekend plans: Checked in to the Supernatural convention last night! It’s been beautiful, warm weather and we are here all weekend doing the nerdy fan thing! Just waiting for the first panel to start now…
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile?: I have a photo of my first New Years eve with the bf that he framed and gave to me as a gift. It sits on my desk next to my computer so I can always see it and it makes me smile 🙂
I hope you loveeeeee everything. I’m very curious to see how you like ColourPop!
Haul: I’m flip-flopping on the It Cosmetics TSV. Their CC cream is my HG foundation (if there is such a thing, right?), but I’m trying to decide whether I really need the whole set at $20 more than the foundation price. It’s a good deal, but as my mom used to say (much to my annoyance, haha) “An elephant for a quarter is only a good deal if you need the elephant and have a quarter.” Do I really need the shadow/brush/bronzer extras? Or should I just buy CC cream and spend my $20 on something else? (Like the Heather Clinique Cheek Pop or some bright spring lipsticks.) Decisions, decisions!
Weekend plans: I’m going to try a new recipe for dinner tomorrow, so that will be fun! I may finish up Breeaking Bad with my husband, who hasn’t seen the finale yet.
Something on nightstand to make me smile: nothing, as I don’t have a nightstand, dresser or desk. But I made my husband a tiny framed cross stitch for Valentine’s Day once (it just has a set of Quidditch hoops and “You’re a Keeper”–very basic) and it makes me smile every time I’m in his office, because he loved it enough to stow it in a suitcase when we moved.
LOL! Your mom is a smart woman! I’ll be curious if you ended up caving 😉
She is very wise, and maybe some of that wisdom has finally rubbed off on me–I passed on the TSV. 😉
Nicely done, Heather!!

I also picked up a smaller, 2 compartment makeup bag for my purse (also SK).
Weekend plans: our older son, who is the military, is coming home tonight for 3 weeks. We’ve not seen him since the summer because he went travelling in SE Asia this past Xmas. So it will be catching up with and spoiling him!
Something I keep on my nightstand: A photo of our departed and wonderful Golden Retriever, Daisy, and a little Beanie Baby Golden Retriever that my children got me after we had to put Daisy to sleep and I was so sad. It reminds me of my blessings – my dear dog and my sweet, thoughtful children.
Enjoy the time with your son! Your family must be SOOOOO excited 🙂

Desk smileys: My desk is a wreck! My Liberty of London file box is pretty smile inducing!
My background pic on my iMac is smile inducing. It’s a picture I took in Italy!

What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile? A Funko Pop of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Have a blast at the concert, Alexandria! 🙂
The real question though, is who did you ship on BtVS?!
Haha yes that is the big fandom question- I think as much as I love the first three angsty seasons of Buffy, I’d have to say Spuffy. Although there is a whole lot to feel uncomfortable and icky about, Spike just makes everything more interesting. What about you??
Always Spuffy for me! 🙂
Mellon is so gorgeous with his soulful eyes. No wonder you love him to bits.
Haul – looking at getting some Marsala coloured lipsticks
Weekend plans – The Cricket World Cup is on in Melbourne and it is between Australia and NZ. It should be a great game and the family are coming over to watch it at our place. So I am cooking up a storm today – a tray of scalloped potatoes, veal scallopini (preparing) and a salad (preparing – no dressing till tomorrow).
What I keep on my dresser: a photo of my 2 sons when they were younger and a photo of my darling grand daughter Olivia – a year old and the light of our lives. She has just discovered how to open our kitchen cupboards – oh dear.
Have a great time watching the game, Genevieve! Food sounds delicious 😉
Gorgeous pup with his peep. Nice photo!
Haul: a neutral Becca eye palette
Weekend: Some shopping, and relaxing with the family
On desk: a photo of the kids from a Disney World trip 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Haul: Covergirl Natureluxe lipstick in Cabernet, MAC lip pencil in Beet
Weekend plans: Women’s work conference, opera on Sunday, studying for exam on Tuesday, and trying to figure out how to coordinate all of that after a cup of coffee battled my iPhone and won.
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile?: My Nook. Because when I can’t sleep, it’s always there with something to put me to bed. Right now, it’s the Mercy Thompson series. 🙂
Good luck on your exam, Veronica!!
Your poor phone!
Haul: This was sunscreen week: Paula’s Choice Resist Super-Light Daily Defense SPF 30, PC Resist Hand Cream SPF 30, and Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 (clear). Also PC Resist Weightless 2% BHA Body Treatment, since Resist products were 15% off and I needed some — going to try it on my neck decollete instead of the 2% BHA liquid (my hands, feet, arms and legs can take the AHA, but not my face/neck/decollete — my chest actually broke out from AHAs, I guess the redness I have there is rosacea, just like my face!). I’m weird about having anything on my hands that feels “sticky” to me, simply cannot tolerate it, am hoping the PC product is one I’ll be able to tolerate having on my hands, I’ve had a horrible time finding a sunscreen for my hands even though I don’t have to use all-mineral sunscreen there.
Weekend plans: We’re going to relax at home this evening on our new IKEA love seat/chaise combo 🙂
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile?: I like to keep my little dwarf Winter White hamster, Natasha, where I can just lift up my head, see her, say hello to her, and see her perk up her little face and look at me 🙂 She’s a real sweetie, is very affectionate and well-behaved!
Fingers crossed the cream isn’t sticky! I don’t like sticky-feeling skincare anyway but my lips, lol!
I think it might work out, based on a quick try. I’m a real nut about what feels ‘sticky’ to me on my hands, a lot of hand creams feel sticky to me, although some improve if I can just get through the first five minutes of wearing them, until they really soak in. But so far all sunscreens, even sprays, feel sticky to me when they’re on my hands. Some I can tolerate fine on my arms, but not on my hands. Since I’ve been using an AHA cream on my hands I really have to find something I can tolerate! I’m grateful for retailers with generous sampling and return policies. Otherwise I’d be too scared to spend the money to try things that I might not be able to use!
Haul: my first haul in weeks! Just ordered MAC No Faux Pas, Hollywood Cerise, and the Miley Viva GLam lipstick and gloss. Can’t wait until they get here.
Weekend plans: Mowing the lawn on Saturday and I”m going to finish roofing the garage on Sunday! Not an exciting weekend.
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile?: I have a ceramic state of a three headed cat that my dad bought me. It’s pretty goofy.
How fun! I can’t wait for you to get your goodies, Lee! 😀
My daughter is Mellan’s #1 fan, and I love that peep.
Haul: I didn’t get anything this week, but last week I got some MUG and Sugarpill pigments, and MAC Fix+, powder puffs and Matchmaster concealer (this concealer laughs off my dermatitis — loooove)
Weekend plans: meh, clean the house
What’s something you keep on your desk/night stand/dresser that makes you smile?: my TV? lol, I don’t keep much there besides papers and other non-smile-inducing items
Aww! 😀 Tell her he says hi!
