Weekend plans: Lots and lots of school work to catch up, boo!
Favorite thing to drink: Evolution Orange Juice, mmm…
Keep adding your pet photos to the Temptalia Pets flickr group! 🙂

Superdog attempts to save Wonder Woman… for himself!
So cuteeeee!!!
Christine you’re up early! 😛 Mellan’s such a lovely dog.
Haul: Chanel JC Blush in espiegle and for anyone that is interested – its the US formula with the brown brush (ie exactly the same as the one you reviewed, Christine). I really like it!
Weekend plans: study as well, boo – sometimes I hate how busy I am.
Favourite drink: tea with a little milk for sure! failing that – coffee!
Oh my! Those Mellan pics are to die for <3 And the captions made me lol 😀
Cutest photos ever. So cool. 🙂
Just arrived some minuets ago: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow in Ash, Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Slate, YSL palette (powder and highlighter), the Balm Kabuki – and I am very happy about them 🙂
Any hints for using cream shadows? it’s my first one…
And: I love your dog! he’s so sweet <3
Apply with your finger or a flat but firm brush!

Haul: Nailpolish! I bought it at a blogsale and I’m going to pick it up next week. I bought Essence and Nfu Oh. And I ordered some beautiful earrings at forever21.

Favorite thing to drink: Green Tea. 🙂
Haul: So far nothing. My orders are seriously late. I hope I’ll get something today.
I’ve been contemplating WW MSFs. Christine, do you think Golden Lariat would suit NC20 (with redness)? I don’t mind orangeness (my hair is coppery), but is it too dark? I’m also getting Valiant and Marquise d’, and Pink Power looks better on you with them.
I think you could use it with a light hand 🙂

Mellan is my favorite superhero yay!! So pretty!!
Haul: COVER GIRL PERFECT LIPSTICK- FLAME, HYPNOSE/HYPONOTIC, SULTRY- if you can get past the taste that lingers a bit, this lipstick isn’t all that bad. it’s a good way to try out various colours on a budget (8 CAD)

Earlier this week I got MAC Steel Blue pigment and Frostlite Fluidline. From Boots I got No7 ‘Grace’ lipstick and No7 Blue gel eyeliner from their new Spring collection. I had a couple of £5 off No7 vouchers, so I only had to pay £5 for each.
Today I received in the post MAC Circa Plum pigment, and from the MAC Neo Sci-Fi collection I got Evening Aura eyeshadow, Soft & Slow lipglass, Pink Grapefruit lipglass (loving this one) and Sci-Fi-Delity lipstick.

Ok…that’s all. Phew. Please know I don’t usually haul like this, but most was needed basics…. almost embarrassing to write out… please don’t judge!
Weekend – It’s been a rough week, so I will spend the weekend taking care of my husband and making sure he smiles…he deserves it!
Fave drink – prob Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi
Pet stuff – I have 3 of the cutest doggies ever (sorry Christine…Mellan is adorable, but….) 2 big dogs and one little, tiny puppy – love them to pieces – the little one right now is my baby -she is such a little 6 lb snuggler and ball of fluff!!!
Ok, I’m done…sorry it was so long. Please someone else have a bigger haul than mine so I can feel better about shopping my feelings!!!
You shouldn’t feel bad about your haul. Shopping is one great way to lift the spirit. My thought and prayers are with you. I hope that things get better for you.
Where did you find L’oreal’s Endless Timeless Tawny? I am looking for the shade “In the Buff”, but have found that most drugstores have sold out of the L’oreal Endless products since they are being discontinued.
Haul: Nada 🙁
Weekend plans: See an art exhibit and go out for dinner with my husband (alone for the first time in 2 years)

Weekend Plans : Studying =/ and brunch on Sunday!!!

Christine, I don’t have any hauls, but was wondering how much Mellan sheds. I’ve thought about getting a Lab sometime down the road, but I’m wondering if they shed constantly, or just seasonally.
He is adorable and such a sweet boy.
ALL THE TIME. It depends on where you live, though. I’ve heard that dogs shed less if you live in an area that has really clear seasons, so then they only go through periods of heaving shedding.
Living in California, he sheds all the time!
Christine, you should develop a Mellan collection! I’d buy one of everything just because he’s so stinkin’ cute!
AWWW!
Haul: OPI Black Shatter and Princesses Rule! I also bought my first old-school foundation brush.
Weekend plans: I’ve missed quite a few dance classes this past week because of studying for exams, so I’ll be going to not only my regular classes, but the optional ones as well! I also have to talk to one of my voice teachers about a new schedule now that I’m in a new school semester.
Favourite thing to drink: That’s tough! I think I’ll go with a good Earl Grey tea.
Mellan looks so sweet, but earnest & worried, lol! He’s a really good boy to actually stay put for the pictures. My haul this week was small: Benefit Stay Don’t Stray set from Sephora, the new UD 24/7 shadow pencil in Rehab and a couple of great steals from the ongoing CVS makeup blowout…2 Physician’s Formula Mineral Blushes for $2.99 each (normally $12 each).
Hi.wat a colorful pic of Mellan..and if his heroism brings in collections for U..very useful Hero 🙂

Spending time with friends and fam.

Too ADORABLE!!!!!!
Haul: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Midnight in NY, OPI At Your Quebec & Call (I find it really ugly, actually. I only bought it in the hopes of swapping it later.) I also ordered Rock & Republic shadows in Emerge and Envy (from Hautelook!), but they won’t be here for awhile.
These aren’t explicitly makeup-related, but I also bought a straightener (a steal at Walgreens) and my very first dry shampoo. And I hauled my monthly freebies from Bath & Body Works. Moisturizing hand soap in Japanese Cherry Blossom, a lemon PocketBac, and a PocketBac holder.
I thought I’d spent an obscene amount, but, actually, that’s not /too/ bad…
Weekend plans: After work tomorrow, I’m going to Sally Beauty with a friend to take advantage of the Seche Vite/China Glaze deal (I should’ve remembered this before I bought the ugly OPI…), and probably celebrating her doll’s birthday in some capacity because…that’s the type of thing I do because I love her. Sunday, I’m watching WWE’s Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View, because that’s the type of thing I do because I am a fan. (and, occasionally, fangirl.)
Favorite thing to drink: Coke Zero. If it were as cheap as tea, that’d probably be all I’d drink. If we’re talking alcoholic drinks, though? I like screwdrivers. Mmmmm…
What sort of deal is at Sally’s?
There’s a coupon by the Seche Vite for a free China Glaze with purchase of the SV. Today’s the last day to use it (I’m sorry I didn’t see your reply until today), so if you can get over there, I recommend taking advantage of it.
Soooooooooooooooo cute!

Favorite thing to drink: Diet Dr. Pepper – I drink it straight from the 2 liter bottle – I don’t drink coffee so this is how I get my caffeine plus the bubbles and the cold help me wake up
Haul: Nothing–I am on a budget for the next few months. However, I have started to use my Urban Decay Naked Palette a lot more and am loving some of the new mascaras that I bought a few months ago such as L’oreal’s Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara.
Plans for the weekend: Spend time with my family and try and clean up around the house.
Favorite thing to drink: Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi-I just had my second child (my daughter) six weeks ago and also have a twenty month old son. Therefore, I need my daily fix of caffeine in order to function.
Very cute ! >.<
Haul: E.L.F. Gotta Glow Blush and HD powder. I’m so annoyed with them b/c the powder was backordered, so they shipped the blush and canceled the rest without notification – meaning full shipping on the 1 other item! Had a row with customer service and will not be buying from them ever again. To add insult to injury, the Gotta Glow (which is supposed to be a dupe for NARS Albatross) is super frosty.
So, I ordered the Silica Microspheres from TKB. $20 for 8oz! It’s the same stuff that’s in MUFE HD powder at a fraction of the cost.
Weekend: Errands & (hopefully) SLEEP!
Favorite Drink: hot, milky, sweet, black tea. MMM, think I’ll go brew some now 😉

Weekend plans: Recover from the stressful week, prepare for next week and set myself straight on a couple of things.
Favorite thing to drink: green tea with jasmine flowers. Second is black coffe which I survive on.
Mellan is so sweet!!
Haul: Hmm.. Panthera mascara, Coralista blush, more Too Faced Shadow Insurance, a sample of BADgal Lash, 10 MAC shadows, a MAC brush roll, MAC TLC tube, 2 more MAC shadow palettes…I think that’s it! Boy I need to stop shopping, but I freelance so I give myself a little break…
Weekend plans: Watching the NHL’s All-Star Weekend, and maybe going out to dinner, but I’m in Philly and we’re snowed in!
Favorite thing to drink: Coca-Cola…I know it’s so bad for you but I just can’t help it.
Could he be any cuter?!
