First, I’ll share mine!
Haul: MAC Pro Longwear Lipcremes x12, Guerlain Grenade & Gina Rouge G Lipsticks, Guerlain Parure Gold Foundation in #2, Chantecaille palette
Want to make time to: watch a movie with the boy!
Funniest thing that happened this week: I think answering the door to the UPS man giving me a rather dubious look upon seeing my two-toned lips…
Friday plans: Grabbing lunch with a friend!
This week’s Mellan photo…
I was playing stalker/creeper! This photo is from last summer @ Lake Tahoe, CA. (Mellan & the boy)
No haul this week apart from a barry m lilac lipstick which was only 6.5E. I was so close to buying chanel ming rouge laque but chickened out at the last minute because i’ve so much other things that I need to buy and i will probably end up on the streets with a load of luxury makeup if I continue on buying! I will hopefully get it in the future though!
Plans; I’ve been watching a load of classic movies this week – gone with the wind, the graduate, some like it hot, all about eve, casablanca so i’m trying to finish Lawrence of Arabia at the moment but its a bit slow!
At least you’ll look beautiful, lol!
The Graduate is the best. movie. ever!
Haul: None [no money =(]
Want to make time to: Go to the cinema…
Funniest thing that happened this week: Hum, I can’t remember. It has been a normal week
Friday plans: Maybe a film at home or a dinner out… Don’t know yet!
Any movie you want to see in particular?
I got a new lighted mirror! 5.75 hours until work is over!
Nice!
Very cute picture!
Haul: I finally caved and ordered an extreme number of Butter LONDON polishes. I hope their good!
Really want to make time to: Read/sleep. In that order. Had to get up extremely early this morning to drive the brother to the airport.
Friday plans: Friend’s girlfriend’s birthday dinner, and visit with the boyfriend’s family, as his siblings are down as well as his nephew.
I hope you love ’em! Which ones are you most excited for?
I’m really excited for Chimney Sweep and Old Blightly! I’ve heard only good things about them, and I love the names of all of their polishes. Don’t need another red, but one is called Come to Bed Red.. (I couldn’t resist!)

Major room organization, cleaning, decorating happening this weekend
Funny story:
My car got towed at the DVM, which is more ironic than funny, but yea, only me 🙂
I meant DMV
LOL @ your car! That sucks, though 🙁
Haul: Ordered stuff from Korres, again. LOL.
Want to make time to: finish all my homework, I’ve been sick for a few days and have no energy.
Funniest thing that happened this week: I think answering the door to the UPS man giving me a rather dubious look upon seeing my two-toned lips…
LOL Christine thats hilarious, I can only imagine!
Friday plans: Resting at home.
What’d you order from Korres?
Haul–Vex, Tilt, hepcat, and Rose pigment from MAC, with another blank palette(WHEW!) UD Naked palette and Deluxe e/s palette, MUFE Star powder 916, UD Lounge, a bunch of eve pearl off hautelook(Au naturale, a lipstick, a lipgloss duo, and a backup of my foundation).
Funniest thing this week–listening to a cranky coworker. I think I’d go insane if i took her crap personally. But there’s something spectacularly awesome listening to the woman try to convince you that the thing overflowed because YOU were lazy, and didn’t clean it out RIGHT BEFORE SHIFT CHANGE, when you were assigned to be elsewhere, and you manager refuses to dirty his hands with that stuff, so it went 8 hours unchecked because of HIS negligence. No hun, take it up with HIM. Empty or no, after 8 hours it WILL overflow, regardless of me! Better yet? Said manager insisting that that’s not HIS job every time ANY issue comes up, be it checking the leaky ice maker, telling his boss to stop using my department for work that really ISN”T our job, or at least write decent procedures for how to do it. I work with some…. special…. people. It goes back and forth between “hilarious” and “slowly driving me insane”.
This weekend, I’m looking forward to having a LOT of time at home, not dealing with idiots, and spending time with the boyfriend.
LOL! Well, as long as you find some humor in it, they haven’t driven you completely batty yet… 🙂
Haul – DuWop Private Nude lipstick and Clarins Instant Smooth primer.
Friday Plans – Major makeup haul at Dillards ($10 off $50, $20 off $100, and so on for beauty/skincare purchases) later today! Planning to get Clarins Prodige Face Palette, MAC Viva Glam V ls, Nymphette lg, Satin Taupe es and who knows what else.
That sounds like an awesome beauty sale!!
Haul: china glaze polishes in classic camel, swing baby and awaken! Looove swing baby. I also picked up benefit high beam-amazing and I got some Kenra color care dry shampoo!
Our plans today are to go to Cattle Congress(I live in IA). Lots of fun things for the kiddos to do there. Then I am going to take the kids back home to see my family while my husband works tomorrow:)
I’ve never heard of Kenra… you will have to let me know how it goes!
I think they sell it in every hair salon around here. You should check it out they have amazng products. I love the dry shampoo. It not only cleans your hair but gives it some lift on your roots!
Will do, thanks!
Photo: Reminds me of Mr. Wilson from Home Improvement. No one has ever seen Sean face nor Mr. Wilson (was that his name). lol.
Haul: Placed my order for the Venomous Villians Collection with MAC (its not paid for yet, does that count??) Hopefully I can pick it up on Tuesday.
Want to make time for:Spending time with my mom. I have been so busy since school started and attending boot camp, I am hardly home.
Funniest thing that happened this week: Yelled at my boot camp trainer because my leg started cramping and he told me to keep my legs up. *the nerve of him*
Friday Plans: Karoke with the BF, cousin and her co-wokers. Ill be watching, not participating 🙂

My Dad had his operation for bowel cancer on Tuesday, and we have been given the great news that all went well and they think they got it all. That’s the best news we could possibly have had 🙂 He’s looking well and is upbeat about it, so we’re all very relieved.
Hoping to get some sleep this weekend as I’ve had hardly any sleep for the past couple of weeks due to worrying about my Dad and my son’s sleep problems.
I’m SO happy to hear about your Dad!! YAY!!
glad someone has a bigger haul than I do!
Great news about your dad! Hope the rest of his recovery goes smoothly =)
Oh….I hauled like crazy today…I got
A Sephora eye palette in 10 – Kiss From~
A Sephora brush case that I’ll use as makeup bag (it looks like a pencil case, and since I’ll only put lip stuff, mascara and sweets in it, it works)
Yes To Carrots Eye Cream
Too Faced Brightening Blush in La Vie En Rose & Papa Don’t Peach
MUFE Rouge Artist Lipstick in 33 – Satin Fresh Pink
And…I’ll spend the weekend I think getting ready to start my first year at University on Monday, when I’ll have a full day of classes…bah
Aww!! Congrats on university, hope you love it 😛
I guess I will…once I get used to have 30 minutes more in class than usual, no breaks between periods and only 1h for lunch.
You know, I find it kind of amazing how you reply to every single comment.
I have a question, just because I’m curious…
if you know them both, can you tell me how does MUFE Rouge Artist #33 Lipstick (that I bought today) compare to the new Love Forever Prolongwear lipstick from MAC?
You can do it!! 🙂
I find Rouge Artist doesn’t last quite as long, though the darker shades to last awhile! But the biggest thing is the MAC shades are a lot creamier and smoother for me.
thanks for that! I wore it for a few hours, and tyhe color isnt too dark and it was confortable, and I think it left a stain…
I went to mac last night and picked up the new longwear concealer and three of the longwear lip sticks and lucky green eye shadow and cunning lipstick. I have nothing planned yet for the weekend, I’m just glad that I have some time to myself.
Lucky Green is <3!
I been wanting to pick that color up for awhile now and I agree It’s a beautiful color, greens and purples are my favorite color shadows.
What a lovely pic! 🙂 Let’s see, let’s see…
Haul: I went shopping with the girrrrls and got myself YSL Parisienne (perfume+body lotion kit) and 2 MAC e/s: Quarry and Phloof! – I wanted to get Soft Brown but they told me they don’t sell it anymore?!
I also got a Rituals l/s in Smart from a friend who wasn’t using hers anyway (it’s bright fuchsia… I LOVE IT). What else? A flat iron (I just had my hair cut short – such a big step for me! – it has always, ALWAYS been straight and now all of a sudden it CURLS? Meh.)and some really nice, warm pyjamas from my mom. I ran out of primer so I got a drugstore one. I bought Paradoxal and Inimitable Intense from Chanel too – LOOOOVEEEE. Furthermore, I bought the ChG Awakening collection – is it just me or are these really disappointing? – and WON a Scrubby&Bubbly (a scrub that lathers up really well… I love scrubbing and I love foam so it’s PERFECT and it smells like oranges <3). I think that's it? Oh no, wait, I also received 2 nailpolishes from Diamond Cosmetics and ordered an entire brush set! Wow. That's some serious haulage.
Want to make time to: Cocoon with some candles (school starts soon) and maybe read a book. And get ready for my trip to LDN next week!! So excited.
Funniest thing that happened this week: I was supposed to meet with my friends at Starbucks but they were waiting for me in this cove-like thingy and I couldn't find them! I walked through the entire Starbucks THREE times and had to call them to find them, LOL. It was so silly! We missed eachother completely.
Friday plans: (it's Friday night here:) I visited my grandma. She's quite ill (bronchitis) so I got her some flowers and walked her dog for her. Now? Watch ANTM and hopefully go to bed early! (That sounds so dorky, LOL! But I prefer getting a good night's rest over partying.)
I hope your weekend is going to be grrrrrrreat, Christine!
I also got Palace Pedigreed and Marked For Glamour. But that’s it, I SWEAR! 😛
I hope your grandma feels better soon!
And congrats on winning the scrub!
Haul: Preordered some Mac Venomous Villains stuff and ordered Chrome Yellow, Sassy Grass, Ban This!, and a new x4 pallet online.
Plans: Want to make time to: Meet up with an old high school friend and play Dragon Age.
Funniest Thing: I created a character for my friend to play in a show. He was one of those Monty Python pepperpots (old batty British ladies) and he just stole the show.
Friday plans: Try out my friend’s PlayStation Move.
Glad you were able to pre-order your VV haul!
Haul: Estee Lauder blue dahlia (I know its been out for a while but in my local Sears, they give a gift with it today, so my friend put it aside for me until today :p) and a purple nail lacquer from estee lauder as well (don’t remember the name sorry but its a beautiful deep purple).
Want to make time for: I would want to have time to go see my family, but im working and i have a lot of readings to do!!!

Friday plans: I have a civil proof class and working all night!

Want to make time to: study! I have soo much to read this weekend/holyday (Sep 20th is a regional holyday)!
Funniest thing that happened this week: Staying with my friends. There are always lots of jokes!
Friday plans: Studying!

Well I didn’t get to post my haul last week because I was buying a car – a 2007 Honda Civic EX!!!!!!!! So excited, it’s better than my first Honda and I loved that one too!

This was a MAC-centric week: Palace Pedigreed palette, Lap of Luxury and Viva Glam Cyndi lipglasses, Defiantly Feline and Smoky Heir Superslick liners, and Mocha blush. I also preordered Heartless lipstick, Wicked Ways lipglass and Bad Fairy nail polish. I’m going to be eating cereal for the next two weeks, but it was worth it!
LOL! What kind of cereal? ;D
Plan to spend my weekend studying for board exams and spending time sorting through my makeup collection. I need to toss products I am not using. Kind of keeping it low at home this weekend but after boards I am officially a psychologist.
OOOH!! That’s so exciting! You can do it 🙂
I just ordered the UD BOS vol 3, I did major Eve Pearl hauling from Hautelook this week, and some Eye bright from Benefit.
Nice, Monica!
Haul: Just a couple of the Pro Longwear lipsticks, but also the foundation and concealer… Um what else… Strobe Cream (giving it another chance lol), some skincare at Shiseido (which I may return if it doesn’t work for me – I have the worst luck with moisturizers that have an SPF in them). Oh and I picked up the new flooring for the kitchen! 🙂 Woohoo!
Want to make time to: Trying to make time to do a client’s hair. I’m not, in any way, a “hair person” but in a pinch I can do color 😉
Funniest thing that happened this week: Hmm… I’ll have to start writing funny things down. I’m not sure.
Friday plans: A friend is getting married tomorrow and I need to see if I can find her place TODAY so I’m not rushing last minute to find it tomorrow 😛 That and working on the kitchen some more (taking up the old flood to make room for the new). We also got a new bed that should be arriving today as well! 🙂
What flooring did you pick?
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the SPF in skincare that’s making my skin batty…
The flooring is just a laminate (kinda like Pergo) but it’s in a cork pattern so it should kind of just fade into the background (that’s what I’m hoping for anyway!)
And yes… SPF and skincare. It can irritate my skin and eyes, burn and sometimes even rash or break out. It’s the same with foundations (with SPF) – If I only wear them for an hour or two every now and then (for videos, photos, etc.) then I’m okay, but any longer and my face just starts to get angry with me!
Hope you’ll share photos when you’re all done with the remodel 🙂
Very interesting. Have you ever tried to separate out the SPF to chemical vs. physical?
You mean like took notice of which types of SPF irritate the most? I have done that… I have found some are better than others but I’m still searching! 🙂 I often find that over time, different skincare will bother me – For example, I’ve never been able to use the same eye cream for more than a year. After about a year or so it starts to burn my eyes. Strange but I guess your body starts to reject it over time – Especially in areas like the eyes that are more sensative perhaps?
I know that I’ve read when it comes to SPF, some are really sensitive to chemical type vs. physical type (which I believe just includes titanium dioxide and zinc oxide – most other ingredients are chemical), with the physical type being more tolerable for the majority.
I swear all eye creams burn my eye area, I don’t know why. It does not encourage eye cream use at all!
Titanium Dioxide is a big one for me… Always irritates my skin. So far the Shiseido moisturizer I picked up is working fine, though it’s only been a couple days. The SPF in that product is all chemical… No oxides at all. I actually tested it by rubbing it on my eyelids and under my eye and it didn’t bother me (well, any more than anything else would if I got it that close to my eyes). Here’s hoping! 🙂
I’ve heard people say numerous times that there’s nothing really special about eye creams. I have a friend who uses an all-natural cream that’s actually made for stretch marks on pregnant women. She loves it. If you look at a lot of department store eye creams you see a lot of mineral oil, petroleum, glycerin and a variety of waxes. Nothing too special (of course these are carrier products for the “active ingredients” but still…) Interesting that you have the same reaction to them that I do though, makes me wonder how many other people do too!
Eye creams, ahh! I don’t know whether to really believe or buy into the fact that you need such specialized products *just* for the eyes… well more the theory that the area is so thin, it needs something special. I don’t mind the concept that eye cream is more of a serum, thus a treatment or more concentrated than a moisturizer – but just to moisturize my eyes, really? I mean, I apply moisturizer to my face, and it’s going to disperse and end up covering the majority of my face–eyes included–and regular moisturizer hasn’t destroyed my eyes yet.
I agree. Honestly if you want to hold back those fine lines and reduce any puffiness (which I’ve never had a problem with) than the best things to do are the things that most people don’t want to do. LOL! Get plenty of sleep. Drink lots of water. Exercise and eat right. That’s the BEST thing you can do to keep your skin in it’s best possible condition. Of course moisture is important to, but a general moisturizer will do the job just fine. I think most people want to believe that if they spend $100 for an ounce of cream in a jar, that it will fix everything! Haha!
I remember two years ago, Jay lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-70 pounds. When people saw him and asked, “Wow! What did you do to loose the weight?!” and his reply was “Diet and exercise.” EVERYONE said the same thing: “WHAT?! NO!!! I can’t do that! That’s aweful! I don’t have the time!” Hahaha!
We all want a magic pill that will fix our lives. Unfortunately no company makes a moisturizer than can help us take better care of our bodies.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a magic elixir? I would also take a magic lose-weight-feel-great pill, LOL!
But I completely agree — diet, exercise, sleep are all the things you need to do. And sometimes good genetics will see you through. While I don’t want to age prematurely, I’m OK with aging in general… it’s natural, part of getting older. I wear my SPF, sunglasses, and try not to squint. I won’t give up making funny faces, laughing, or smiling so I can reduce fine lines though!
Haha! I was JUST working on a “Dusty’s Guide to Aging and Skincare” video over the past few days… Which is why I’m all kind of rant-ready about it! LOL! And the VERY FIRST THING I mention is genetics. Unfortunately the best thing we can do to achieve healthy skin is something we have absolutely no control over 😛 (I also mentioned sunglasses… Haha! We’re on the same page)
I thank my mom for her genes all the time, because she’s aged quite well. And my mom’s idea of skincare is beyond me! I don’t even know if she really cleansed/moisturized on the regular for the majority of her life, LOL. I know that she does moisturize and cleanse in some capacity now. I should ask her. I don’t know if I was too young to recognize her beauty habits growing up or not. My [maternal] grandmother also has aged very nicely — until my grandfather got sick and she spent more time awake than sleeping and tending to him (it was actually very sad and painful for me to see her age 20 years in about 2 years). So I just hope I age along those lines and cross my fingers that SPF and sunglasses will help me, too.
I also have to remind myself not to be vain and wear my glasses to avoid squinting!
Oops, forgot to add the rest…
Want to make time to: Finish a painting project – flamingo tchotchkes for my Mom’s backyard.
Funniest thing that happened this week: Some random dude drunk dialed my work voicemail and yelled, “Sharron, make me a sandwich!” several times. I think he was trying to sound like Ozzy Osbourne…
Friday plans: Pizza and the latest episodes of Warehouse 13.
Mm, what kind of pizza do you love, Sharron?
Mushroom & Olive or Hawaiian.

FUNNIEST THING THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: There was nothing funny that happened this week, sadly. 🙁
FRIDAY PLANS: … went out the window, a friend who wanted to visit me ended up in hospital due to an extreme case of flu … hope she gets better soon! … so, friday plans = nothing 🙁
Aww, I’m sorry to hear about your friend — hope she gets well soon!
I went to Sephora and got theBalm’s Cabana Boy shadow/blush and the Leopard Love blush palette from Too Faced. I also went to The Body Shop and got some of their tea tree oil products, Coconut Oil Hair Shine, and a Born Lippy Satsuma Shimmer Lip Balm (the last one!). 🙂

Yay for Orlys!
No hauling for me this week. The excesses I’ve reached recently hit me really hard a few days ago. I’m trying to get around to booking a flight to Orlando for a WDW trip I have planned with my fellow in February, but I keep not quite having the cash. Despite that I found myself in Neiman Marcus this week due to their beauty event and going nuts because they have a Le Metier counter now (first one in Boston). I started piling up my purchases and was about to purchase nearly the value of a flight to Orlando! What is wrong with me? When I whipped out my credit card and was told they only take AmEx, not Visa or MasterCard, it was like a smack upside the face – UR DOIN IT WRONG.
Time for some serious destashing and shifting of priorities. I’m trying to cut down from 7 eyeshadow palettes to 3 (easier than I thought to pick and choose) and my nearly 80 lipsticks and glosses in half (soooo painfully hard). Makeup is definitely my favorite hobby…but I have others that want some moolah too!
In the meantime, I’m trying to get the most out of what I am definitely keeping and doing full looks every morning and remembering that the best part of makeup is not acquiring more – it’s using it and being creative! 😀
You can do it, Daphne! <333

He then turned to me and said “hah, strange, you were not the one moving your hands and arms so much”.
Friday plans: Friend’s house warming party
LOL! Great story, thanks for sharing, Claudia!
Haul: China Glaze polishes in Four Leaf Clover, Calypso Blue, and He’s Going in Circles (also VII, but that’s for a friend…) AND I just ordered my BOS. So it half-counts. It’s mine, but not tangibly yet.
Best thing about this week: I FINALLY, after FOUR YEARS, have a title and a release date for my favorite band’s next album. And I’m confident it will be amazing. I mean, the concept is a post-apocalyptic radio broadcast? How could it NOT be awesome?
Most-played song this week: “Give ‘Em Hell, Kid” (Live) by the aforementioned favorite band, My Chemical Romance
Weekend plans: I really want to bake something. Particularly chocolate cupcakes.
About half an hour, if that, after I submitted this, my boys put up a trailer-type video for the album. MY LIFE IS MADE. Today has been amazing.
Aww!!
MMMMMMMM, chocolate cupcakes….
*sigh* very peaceful pic.
eve pearl makeup from the haute look sale:
hd dual foundation in fair; eyebrow razor; and travel spritz bottle.
i found your old reviews of them and felt very confident in my choices. i wanted the ultimate eye palette, but figured i had dupes of the shades in my stash and restrained myself.
make time for a trip to the guglhupf bakery for some delish goodies… then a long walk as penance!
funniest thing was my hubby & my 10 month old wandering into the bathroom as i was waxing my upper lip, the subsequent looks on each of their faces, and my hubs picking up the used strip to see what i “caught”. there is NO such thing as privacy with a baby in the house!
no plans for friday (the perfect plans)!
Hope you love your Eve Pearl purchases! I use the razor and travel spritz bottle all the time 🙂
Love that photo, it looks so serene. 🙂
Haul: I did buy a few things on eBay including: Guerlain Meteorites Voyage Powder in Eclat de Rose (LE from 2003!!!), the only one missing from my collection. I managed to grab it at a very reasonable price for something so rare (about £75, whereas they cost £105 in shops – obviously not this one as it was LE 7 years ago), and it’s BNIB too. I also bought a few Mac pigments (Frozen White, Pinked Mauve and White Gold – really wanted the latter from the now cancelled Rodarte collection), Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess liquid eyeshadow in Sand Shimmer, and Guerlain Lingerie de Peau foundation in shade #03 which I’m wearing today for the first time and really like it!
I did also pick up 3 Maybelline nail polishes in the supermarket tonight, and both my Boots and Debenhams orders came this week, so I now have all 4 new Urban Decay palettes, 24/7 in Eldorado and Deviant, Too Faced Leopard Love Kit, and the new Too Faced Fairy Glamour to Go kit. Oh and I also ordered and got 2 Bobbi Brown Sparkle Eyeshadows (Denim and Black Velvet).
Going away for the weekend to see my husband’s sister’s family, the children are very much excited about playing with their cousins (all 6 children are between 4 and 9, so it should be a lot of fun).
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet you are SO happy completing your collection 🙂
Haul: Chanel Paradoxal, which despite the so-so reviews I am absolutely in love with. My boyfriend calls it ‘purple mud’ compared to Particuliere which is just ‘mud’. Beauty blogger potential?!
Plans: spending lots of time with my boy this weekend because I’m packing up and moving back to university for my final year next week.
I loveeee Paradoxal 🙂
I love Paradoxal! It is a unique shade. I wear it a lot.
Haul: Urban Decay Naked Palette, it is beyond gorgeous! I am glad I waited to get it in England as it was cheaper!
Plans: Not much, getting over a break up by eating chocolate and relaxing!
Wooo!! 😀
Haul: I got the maybelline dream matte mousse in cocoa and the colorsensational in Cooper charm.
Make time to spend more time with my mom.
Hope you enjoy your haul, Tasha!
Haul: MAC studio fix tinted moisturizer, MAC 226 brush
Excited for: going to a costume party tomorrow.
Friday plans: shopping for said party and hopefully crashing early because I’ve been terribly sleep deprived this week!

Funniest things that happened to me this week:
My son said Yeees-Yeess! It was so cute!
Friday Plans: I want to go out with my son today. Maybe work on a different hair style. I always wear the same one! Since high school!
:0
WOW!! Very nice haul, Carina 😀 Impressive!
Haul: CCO fun. MAC Golden Lemon pigment, Femme Fi e/s (back up), Refined Golden bronzer, EL Crystal Baby l/s, Prescriptives Vibrant C eye cream, Prescriptives warm e/s quad.
Plans: Working yet again.
Gotta love Femme Fi 🙂
This week I picked up my first MAC lipstick in photo and lipliner in hodgepodge. I also picked up fix plus, OPI nail polish in ink and the color to watch for. I have to work saturday so I plan on turning in early. This week was pretty ordinary so nothing funny. I look forward to getting my internet and cable on since I just moved.
Congrats on your first MAC lipstick!
Nice picture. The only thing I bought was the EOS lipbalm and I really like it.
Good to hear – have to try that myself!
You should, indeed 🙂 I was skeptical that it was just an oddly shaped/hyped up chap stick, but it’s actually quite moisturizing, smells amazing, cruelty free(and organic) and its kind of weirdly-awesome to whip out and have your friends be very confused lol.
Now I really want it!
Got a great coupon for Rock and Republic so I got an eyeshadow for $3.99! I’d been wanting to try that line for awhile and between the coupon and their going out of business now was my moment. We’ll see if I like the color…
That’s awesome!
Haul: Not really a haul, but I got a Palace Pedigreed quad with Superior lipstick.. The REAL haul will be happening when Venomous Villains comes out. x3
Want to make time to: Sleep! Busy week!
Funniest thing that happened this week: My boyfriend and I decided to go out and look for this stray cat we’ve been feeding (He was missing for a week). He’s a beautiful white cat. We look for an hour, couldn’t find him. Our backs are turned to some houses, and we hear a faint sound. We look behind us and there he is, running at top speed towards us.. It was almost like that cheesy slow motion running scene you see in the movies. It was so cute and funny. <3
Friday plans: Going to the boyfriend's father army retirement party! Then eating lunch with mom.
Haha! What do you want from VV?
I must have Oh So Fair beauty powder, and Formidable!.. Most of the lipsticks and two lipglasses. x3
That picture is sooo cute 🙂
Haul: OPI Miami Beet (I’ve wanted this shade for forever!)Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup, Garnier Ultra-Lift anti-wrinkle firming eye cream (my first eye cream ever, I feel old lol)
Oh and a quick question if you don’t mind. Do you think that 18 is a good age to start wearing an eye cream? It’s not a thick one or anything. I don’t really have any wrinkles under my eyes, but everyone always says that it’s good to start young, and I spent countless hours outside with no sunscreen or sunglasses when I was younger (I’ve now learned my lesson).
Want to make time to: Finish my book! I’m less that 100 pages away from finishing it 🙂 And then I have 2 more lined up 🙂 I want to get as much reading as I can done before the semester really gets crazy.
Funniest thing that happened this week: Nothing funny happened, but I feel absolutely ridiculous upon giving myself a 2nd-degree burn with my flat iron 🙁 And I have GHD’s, and those are HOT. My poor finger will never be the same again lol.
Friday plans: Unfortunately, I’ll be writing my first English essay of my university life. Fun! Not.
Good luck with your essay, Kat!

Whew!! Fabulous haul 😉
Yeah, I had fun and it was totally worth it. Gonna be broke for the next 2 weeks until I get paid again but I’ve got heaps of stuff to try out so I won’t be bored! And I bough a few dupes for my best friend and we’re catching up on Thursday next week so looking ofrward to see how she likes them!

Haul: Gave in and bought Kate Somerville’s Gentle Daily Wash…I wanted to try an exfoliant but many of them had salicylic acid which is my arch nemesis! So far so good, I like the gentle cleanser. I was initially shopping for a red lipstick/gloss. I guess I’m too picky or just can’t pull off the vamp look. I should ask you about how to pick “the” red lipstick/gloss for deeper skintones.
Want to make time to: do laundry and organize my stuff…
Friday plans: just came back from a movie with the hubby. We went to go see “The Town.” Pretty good movie…didn’t think I would root for the bad guys, but I did.
I love her Gentle Daily Wash… it’s just… gentle, haha.

Estee Lauder Advanced night repair eye cream (used this for just a few days and I already <3 it)

friday plans: today’s been work work work…finished with dinner with the p’s.
🙂
Have you tried other Dr. Hauschka products? Any thoughts?
i’m sorry, not sure how i missed your reply!
i absolutely love dr.hauschka skincare….i use their cleansing cream, cleansing lotion, toner and facial moisturiser on a daily basis. since i started the regime, my skin problems disappeared and i feel at ease knowing the ingredients are all natural. the nice thing is that it’s pretty easy to adapt the regime for summer/winter according to the skin’s needs.
i’ve also tried their eye cream and body oils/lotions, which i really liked and if my beauty budget were a little higher i’d probably use them regularly too!
I snagged the Book of Shadows from Sephora this morning and got some Eve Pearl from Hautelook yesterday…
Oh and the Viva Glam lipglasses and some of the superslick eyeliners…
I’m sad. I spent a lot of money this week 🙁
Maybe you won’t spend so much next week and it’ll balance out! 🙂
