HAUL:
I’m on vacation in Florida so yesterday I got to visit a CCO! Picked up some really old/random stuff, but I’m hoping they’ll still be useful!

You got some good stuff at your CCO!!
Haul: As a poor college student I’m thinking of putting myself on a makeup diet 🙁 I’m lusting after a Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. I might cave this weekend.
Excited for: A busy weekend, meeting and spending some quality time with friends and family. And excited that a good friend of mine is moving back (to our country) after a year abroad.
Friday plans: Dinner with my brother and his family and then going to bed early.

Hi Christine,
great job for faboulous felines! I am thinking about aristo-cat. This week I got Chanel natural finish loose powder in 40. I always wanted a loose powder 🙂 and I got benefit coralista for vacation. so much for me. this weekend we will be getting ready for travelling and cleaning the appartement.
Thanks, Silvia! 🙂
Haul: Lorac eyeshadow for $7!
Excited for: My 21st is (finally) this weekend!
Plans for Friday: Run errands and then work at 5, but hey, I have the rest of the weekend off 🙂
Happy birthday, Megan!
My haul this week was a GHD mkIV straightener that I found at Cosmoprof for 1/2 off! BTW, It’s AMAZING!
I’m excited because like every week this summer, my man will be home from training today! The only difference, is this time I get him home for 12 days, instead of just the weekend. However, after the 12 days, he’s gone for 7 months 🙁 We’re just going to enjoy every day though, and not dwell on him leaving.
My plans for today are running to Sally’s before he gets home, to see if I can find the Orly Cosmix polishes. They are supposed to land there today.
Seriously, I think that is my favourite Mellan picture ever!! I laughed so hard when I saw it. Thanks for sharing!
Gotta love 50% off 😀
I won the tie at an arcade (I used tickets)… as soon as I saw it, I was like… MUST HAVE FOR MELLAN!
Haul: Got my E.L.F. order with every brush they make (had a code for 50% brushes), Mineral Starter Kit in Fair, and Mineral Glow in Shimmer along with a free sample of Shimmering Facial Whip. Still experimenting but love it all so far. Also got my Lush order with Lovely Jubblies lotion, Coalface cleanser, Tea Tree Water toner, Imperialis moisturizer, Saving Face serum along with 2 soap samples that I don’t recall. The face products appear to be helping out my combination/oily t-zone problems I have had forever. Can’t wait to try the Saving Face serum under the the Love Lettuce mask this weekend. Lush has been doing some wonderfully amazing things for my skin and I love that it doesn’t cause allergies to act up.
Excited for: Having another kid free weekend. They are still with the grandparents camping and having a quiet house for the adults has been HEAVEN!
Friday plans: Tonights goal is to be a vegetable. I am not sure which vegetable yet but it will be a vegetable. Perhaps zuchini.
Enjoy the kid-free weekend 😀
Last weekend I got a new Cle de Peau Extra Silky Lipstick (#108), YSL Golden Gloss in #3, NARS eye shadow base, one of the new Guerlain Encrin eye shadow palettes in #10 – Rue des Francs – Bourgeois, a Terracotta Light Touch highlighter pen and a Guerlain Meteorites in the Teint Beige. I love all the products, but I am especially thrilled with the Guerlain products. Previously I did not own much from their beauty line, and this was a great introduction. The Meteorites are amazing, and I am truly impressed with the Terracotta Light Touch highlighter pen and the eye shadow palette.
And, after spending a LOT of time at the Guerlain counter, I now desperately want a new Rouge G in #14 – one of the new fall colors, and one of their KissKiss glosses. I heart this brand now!
Not really looking forward to the weekend – lots of wedding planning to do. Which should be fun, but I am telling you, weddings kind of bring out the worst in people! Bleh. At least I have some fun make-up to play with!
Guerlain is hard not to love! Except for your wallet 😛
Love the tie!
Haul: Not much, picked up some Essie nail polishes last night in the middle of my crazy clothes haul.
Plans for this weekend: Boy and I’s 2 year anniversary!
Friday plans: Pack for said anniversary.
Happy anniversary!
Haul: UD’s Woodstock shadow, a Sephora brush, a deluxe sample of NARS’ eye primer, and a Sephora birthday present. Oh, and the Sugarpill I ordered should be in soon (if it isn’t already; I get things delivered to my grandparents’, so I’m not exactly sure), so I suppose we can add Decora and Magpie loose shadows to that.
Excited for: Three days of, so I can play with makeup. Also, the BOS Vol. III. I need to preorder that as soon as humanly possible, but I still haven’t heard officially when that will be.
I hope you’re able to snag your BoS III! 🙂
Awh super cute Mellan – i always look forward to a new pic of him each week!
This weeks haul – I hauled Burberry lip gloss in Cameo Pink and e/s in Trench – omg I looooove the buttery smoothness of the shadow! I have been experimenting with brighter lip colors and Trench is the perfect neutral shade to pair with a bolder lip for me!
I also bought MAC Omega for my brows and I love that too – thank you so much for the reccomendation Christine!
I am excited to end this week already – work is getting on my nerves today!
I’m so glad Omega works!!
I just love Mellan…he has so much personality!
Haul –

Plans – Catch up on my laundry & go to my fave Mexican restaurant – also hoping to catch up on Jersey Shore! haha
He does, haha! 🙂
I gotta watch Jersey Shore from last night, too!
Even when Mellan is angry (or mid-yawn), he’s still adorable!
Haul: So far just CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation (which I bought to keep in my purse for emergencies). I was going to buy a few items from MAC and Sephora (mostly skincare), but tuition is due today!
Excited for: Just work this weekend, so nothing to be excited about 🙁
Friday plans: Work and errands!
Aww, I hope work goes by quickly for you!
Haul: I got L’Oreal Telescopic explosion mascara yesterday and so far its great! I like the brush because I can thin out the clumps and get an even application 🙂

Friday Plans: /\
Time to yourself is always a good thing 😀
Haul: Ordered the UD BOSIII from Debenam’s website. They dont ship to the US and so my poor brother in Belfast is going to receive a box of makeup soon…he he he (evil laugh). He is sweet though and promised to mail to me in the US as soon as he get it. I am holding a brand new Oakleys as bait…more evil laugh

Friday plans – paying a speeding ticket , getting hair done ,and meeting up with a friend from high school for dinner
Haha! There is still time to haul 😉
But ouch, speeding tickets. Those are pricey!!
I know …. and the minimum for any minor traffic infraction is going up from 75 to 120 .
I got a speeding ticket when I was younger, and I think it was like $450 :/ I wanted to cry, LOL. Well, I did, actually!
HAUL: Ordered a few lip products from the Fabulous Felines yesterday. Can’t wait!

Friday plans: Sushi with the fam at my fave restaurant and then home to pack!
I would say Mellan looks like Bunnicula, but he’s not a bunny =p But I LOVE the pic!
Let me know how Eat Pray Love is!
Happy anniversary to you two!
Haul: Guerlain Champs-Elysees eyeshadow.
No interesting plans for Friday and not much to be excited for over the weekend. It’s been a tough week, so I’ll probably just relax at home and get some much needed sleep.
Enjoy your weekend, Katya!
I received today my Dare to Wear order. Gimme That! (looks intense!) and So Bad. I have not tried them yet, but So Bad looks a lot like Lush & Bright Lipgelée, only darker.
Today I also ordered some Orly Cosmic polishes!
Nice! So glad you got your order!
Haven’t hauled this week-still working through last weeks haul. Three buxom cream eyeshadows(so far not thrilled) Buxom mascara, Lancome CILS booster lash primer, UD woodstock, Three NARS Eyeshadow duos, and a PILE of samples of nude-y rose lipcolors to review. So far my favorite is NARS Cruising.
Excited for-boyfriends birthday in a few weeks, time with the animals, time to catch up on stuff.
Friday plans-Work. Saturday morning we may end up going to spend time with the boy’s mom, and farmers marketing.
Oooh, not happy to hear about the Buxom shadows 🙁 Boo!
Haul: Benefit lipstick in Lala Land per your review (loving it!). Makeup Forever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick in #23, #36 and #37 (haven’t tried them yet).

Haul: Nothing! I’m saving for Bobbi Brown’s Black Velvet collection and for the arrival of Edward Bess at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills.
Excited for: The autumnal equinox (9/23) which kicks off a veritable parade of holidays.
Friday plans: Run errands today, dine out this evening. The hills are beckoning, so I’ll probably take the dogs for a walk.
Oooh, what are you gonna get from Edward Bess?
I plan on getting his new compact rouge in Love Affair. I already have it in Island Rose and love it. I also want to try his new cream to powder foundation.
Nice 😀
Haul: three of MUFE’s new lipsticks (#s 4, 6, and 41) and Ingrid from China Glaze’s Vintage Vixens collection. (I now have a bunch of new nail polishes from the fall collections, but haven’t worn any yet, as I’m trying to get the most out of my summery shades!) I don’t think you’ve reviewed the new MUFE lipsticks, have you, Christine?
Friday plans: A Single Man on DVD (love Colin Firth!).
I have! Well, for the most part. I’ve featured two or three in the Sultry Season, which are essentially reviews, but I don’t do the whole rating breakdown for ’em.
Haul: MAC Glitter pigment in reflex pearl , Mac Odyssey lipstick.
Excited for: Possibly going on a date Sunday. And completing books 9 and 10 of the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood book series. Also excited for the new episode on Sunday.

Happy birthday to your boyfriend!!
illamasqua rich liquid foundation in 105! it’s the colour of my arms and neck but my face was a tiny bit darker, so i’m mixing it with DW Shell and i’m actually ridiculously excited that i’ve got a foundation the same colour as my head! my face looks so much less grubby now!
YAAYY!!!
Those are *some* teeth! I would not want to get on Mellan’s bad side 😛
Haul: a bunch of fragrance samples off Etsy, but no cosmetics!
Excited for: hmm. Lots of good stuff; I can’t decide on just one thing 😉
Friday plans: out for dinner, dancing/drinks, and an improv show for my friend’s birthday. Sorry you have to do school-stuff! (Our term doesn’t start until next month, and Summer classes ended earlier this month for those who took them.)
Haha! That is true!
Any favorite beauty sellers on Etsy?
This week was really bad for my beauty spending. 🙁 Firstly I went to London on Sunday and spent a lot there, I got 2 Dior quints (Misty Mauve and Sunset Cafe), the Enigma Chanel Quad and two new Glossimers, 3 Paul & Joe eyeshadows/palettes, the new No 7 eyeshadow quad and Front Cover Mermaid Dreams palette. Then I went to my “nearest” CCO on Monday (by nearest I mean just over 1 hour drive away (on motorway!), but it really is the nearest), and bought a ton of stuff including 6 old jar pigments, a 2008 holiday palette, an eyeshadow single, some lipglosses, lipsticks, and a few other bits and bobs from Bobbi Brown, Clinique and Prescriptives. I’ve also bought a Metal Rock MSF for far too much money just to find out that it doesn’t suit me at all. I’m torn between keeping it for my collection or selling it to recover most of my money. I also bought some stuff from eBay including a Laura Mercier eyeshadow, Warm Blend MSF (I swapped mine away and regretted it), the new Guerlain 4 eclats blush, Avon mineral mask and one of the old Guerlain Meteorites (Pearly Pink) for my collection. Oh yeah, and I got the new Urban Decay Book Of Shadows because they’re already available in the UK! Love it a lot! 🙂
I saw your haul, Anita!! Hahaha.
Love it 😀
Haul: Nar sheer glow foundation, Nars face primer, Nars laguna bronzer, laura mercier secret camoflauge, opi nail polish in cuckoo for this color and nomads dream.
We haved themed dinner parties and this week is tapas and martinis. Can’t wait for our little social event!
Today I took the kids to the park and out to subway. Waiting for hubby to get home!
Thanks for all your work on your reviews and swatches…I love it!
I’m jealous of your themed dinner party! I need friends who do those, LOL!
Haul: Mac Book pro, itouch, and printer. Those are the boring stuff now to the fun stuff:
Salsa rose blush
Chai lipglass
Tempting eyeshadow
134 brush
138 brush
Backup of kraft lipstick
Chanel vert khaki eyeshadow
Might just drive to the south coast plaza mall to pick up some burberry eyeshadows. Antique rose and taupe brown. This lady at my job went and she picked up 8 eyeshadows, so I got to see which ones were great and which ones weren’t.
And finally: Urban decay Naked pallete! *cue the applause*
Mellan is a doll 🙂
Whew!! Very nice, Vanelle 😀
Haul: A set of travel-sized brushes from Sigma, Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara, Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer, and one of the Benefit Creaseless Creams (in Strut). I’m sort of tempted lately to do a Edward Bess haul, but it’s a little pricey (for EVERYTHING!) and you don’t get a lot of product. 🙁
Excited for: If “nervous” counts as a kind of excited, I have a phone interview for a new job in an hour or so!
Friday plans: Phone interview, a new haircut, and an afternoon nap in the shade. So glad I have a few more days of vacation before dreaded classes start!
Aww, I have not tried Edward Bess myself but it sure looks very classy!
Hope your phone interview went well!
Such a cute pic of Mellan! That tie is so him! LOL
Haul: Fragrance – D&G #6 L’Amoureux and a LAMB bag I got from Nordstrom Rack (I know not beauty but I love it!)
Excited for: Baseball game tomorrow night
Friday plans: Nothing so far, maybe rent a movie
Surely there’s a beauty product in your bag and therefore beauty related 😉
I got a refill on my Solodyn this week. It’s not exactly a beauty product because it’s a medication, but it’s a pill to treat acne so it sort of counts, right? I also got VS jammies and free stuff from school. No makeup, though.
I went to my orientation yesterday. It was beyond boring. My school’s campus feels so big, I know I’m going to get lost on that first day! I’m beginning to regret my choice of school; they have a threefold mission (Catholic, Vincentian and Metropolitan). I didn’t expect them to have SO much emphasis on the first one. Being non-Catholic, I’m a little scared. The only reason I picked this school was that they gave me a full four year scholarship because of my grades.
This morning I got an email from a few of the other schools I applied to saying it wasn’t too late to register for the coming year and it just feels more and more tempting.
How is Solodyn working for you, Vijaya?
Really well. I’m veeeery happy with it. I’ve been having one of those daily and using tretinoin at night, and I’ve cleared up completely.
Happy to hear it 🙂
OMG Mellan!!! bwahahahaha!
Haul: Nothing makeup wise but I did snag some sweet deals on clothes at Winners and Joe Fresh. Picked up a BCBG silk dress for $40 CND!
Excited for: This weekend is so jammed full of things that I’m afraid I will need a weekend from my weekend…
Friday plans: A surprise bachelorette (who she isn’t reading this…) for one of my girlfriends. Tropical theme so I am enjoying wearing my new sundress I bought for Cuba this winter 🙂
Have a good one 🙂
Tis the season for clothes shopping, though ;D
Beauty Haul: Shiseido Serenity & Spiced Cream lipsticks and LiLique Blush Brush.
Excited for: Not really anything LOL.. just excited for relaxing, shopping, and doing whatever!
Friday plans: Hanging out with the boyfriend and his cousin.
I hope you enjoy your weekend, Kali! 🙂
Haul: I finally got over the hefty price tag and ordered a Clarisonic Plus! Can’t wait to try it out!
Since Models Own had a great sale (50% off!), I ordered 6 nailpolishes.
Excited for: Taking some time off this weekend, feels like I have been working non-stop lately!
Friday plans: Catching up on some sleep after I get home from work!
I hope you LOVE it, Hannah!! Ah!
Haul: have 60$ to spend at MAC and I have some friends that work at MAC counters that will sell my a quad tomorrow from the Felines collection early 🙂
Excited for: Moving out on sunday
Friday plans: Hit the beach with the Family!
Lucky you, Elise!
Mellan looks like a vampire! The tie makes me think of halloween and his canine teeth look like fangs. 🙂
Haha! 😉

FRIDAY PLANS: working till 7pm (ugh), then home to relax after a crazy week at work!
Gotta love Sephora samples!

Excited for: staying in for the weekend and just relaxing and I might hang with my friend this weekend at her old place before she moves to her new place!
Friday: Vegging out in front of the TV after I organize my closet
Hugs to Mellan- such a cutie- my looks forward to his pics now too! I hope he likes his new bed! Have a great weekend!
Sounds like a really lovely haul – very fall!
I hope so, too! I remember, when I bought his first bed (when he was around 6 months), he PEED on it. LOL.
Haul: catrice yellow nail polish for 2.79E! took four coats but it stayed on well! isa dora icy khaki eyeshadow cause i forgot all my eyeshadows on holiday and you can dress it up or down.
Excited for: sleeping after an amazing holiday drove all over south of ireland, the scenery was amazing!

Hey, if it’s cheap, four coats isn’t so bad 😛
Yeah and i would never spend a lot on yellow polish. Oh i also got an eyeshadow in a cranberry colour by catrice which was less than 3e! such amazing pigmentation for the price! it looks lovely with UD baked!

You have school on saturday AND sunday! Wow x.x
I bought some MAC items online through Brigitte’s Boutique, they will probably take a few weeks to get here but I’m excited already! I also bought MAC’s Studio Fix, I bought that at the store because even though MAC cosmetics are expensive here (twice what they cost in the US, Studio Fix was 50usd T-T) it was my first time buying it and I had to be sure of the colour 😉
Now it’s time to finish a paper for next week x-x
Also, Mellan is so cute! He’s big too! I want to show you my puppy 🙂 his name is Pequeño (which means “small” or “little one” or something like that)
We (my family and I) adopted him last year when someone abandoned him here in my house. We’re so happy with him 🙂
Aww, would love to see him!!

Sorry for so many replies
SO CUTE!
Thanks :)!
Just for a few days… well, I have 2 Saturday classes that start-up in September, but this is a super intensive course over 4 days but for 3 units!
Oh I see, that’s a lot but I’m guessing because it’s intensive you will be able to finish it faster, right? I have taken intensive courses before too and I’ve taken like a 6 months course in only 1, which is good because you finish it fast, but it’s also very tiring!
It’s the same amount of hours as a normal class (about 3 hours a week) overall, but instead of taking it over 10-15 weeks, it’s 4-6 hours per day… but at least it’s done and over with 🙂
Haul: Rosebud Salve, and Essence of Beauty brushes

Haul: Christian Dior Addict High Shine lipstick in Rose Couture, LOVE! I’ve been really craving the Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites since you reviewed them but the $ is holding me back. Do you think they’re ok for oily skin too? I’m worried it will make my pores look bigger:(

Hi, I am Mimi, new here and new to beauty blogging. Your blog is wonderful, TY for the Fabulous Felines promo pix you generously shared, this collex will be the first full one I attempt to review! I am starting journal-style on my FB, with my niche emphasis on skin care, bolder color, and general style for women 30+
I would love to see more tutorials (the video+page info format is perfect) and more of your good advice for new bloggers!
(blablabla, but I did not want to just jump in cold with a comment, I always feel rude if I do! 😛 )
Welcome, Mimi!! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, and good luck on your review!

Haul: I preorderd two eye shadow quads by the MAC Fabulous Felines collection.
Excited for: A relaxing weekend and a litte shopping tour
Friday plans: First working, then driving home
Which quad are you going to use first?
Benefit poreFessional primer, benefit hello flawless face powder, benefit boing concealor, mac expensive pink eyeshadow! Not super exciting, but these items make my skin look great!
Nice Benefit haul!
Of course I can’t let a Lancome giveaway at Macy’s go by! Believe it or not, I have never bought lip gloss–have many, many lipsticks, but no gloss. I have so many lipsticks my daughter says I need an intervention.
The sales lady showed me La Laque fever in Plum Wave–beautiful and couldn’t resist.
Hahaha! ;D Love it!
I brought the mini OPI for Sephora collection “Rocker Chic”, I brough OPI’s ate berries in the canaries, and finally three MAC shadows in swiss chocolate, memorabilia, and prussian.
Sounds pretty 😀
I got the Naked palette this week!!! So exciting!!!
I’m excited because I’m on vacation for the next two weeks 🙂
Where are you going for vacation?
