Free for Haul Friday, Volume #048
Welcome to Free For Haul Fridays!
A play on Oh No They Didn’t’s “Free For All Fridays,” every Friday is Free For Haul Fridays! Friday is a day for fun — whether you’re already off enjoying your weekend or if you just need a way to get through til the end of the work day, FFH is here for you!
Share your latest beauty hauls! Once you’ve done that… say anything you’d like. Tell us about the greatest thing that happened to you this week, why your pet is the cutest, what you’re doing this weekend… whatever!
First, I’ll share mine!
Haul: Lots and lots of products to giveaway for our anniversary month. Not telling!
Friday plans: I have a bajillion things I need to catch-up with, including school. I know, it’s a killer afternoon planned!
Last thing you watched: Jersey Shore!
This week’s Mellan photo…
Mellan plays with his “haul”!
I was in a sulky mood yesterday, so I went Halloween shopping for Mellan!
What’s under here?
Can you believe Mellan actually just LAID like that for 5 minutes? So tolerant!
This hat…
or this hat…?
Looks like Mellan loved his haul!
Haul: I got Innocence, Beware! from VV. It’s basically Hue with another name and a pretty package. I’m okay with that though, because my Hue is over 1/2 gone so this is like a pretty back-up. I also got Briar Rose, which I love but it’s just like Summer Rose, which I also have. I kind of feel like I just bought dupes… oh well!
Friday plans: It’s icky and rainy, so I think it’s a good Netflix night 🙂
Last thing you watched: My DVR’d House episodes! I love House<3
I’d like to think he did! Haha!
My boy LOVES House!
I LOVE House too! 🙂 Just ordered the Series 6 DVD box set (yep, we are a series behind you) and can’t wait for it to come! 😀
I was afraid that Briar Rose would be too similar to Summer Rose, but Briar Rose is noticeably darker. I’m glad they’re not exact dupes. They’re both lovely and, of course, the packaging is great. I didn’t get Innocence, Beware! because I already have Hue and they are very similar. I probably would’ve gotten it anyway because it’s a Cremesheen, but the last thing I need is more nude lipsticks. 🙂
Haul: Nothing new unfortunately! Hopefully I’ll be able to get something from the Venomous Villains collection today =)
Friday plans: Going to Florence and staying home tonight. Nothing special, but hey it’s raining outside and it’s pretty cold too.
Last thing you watched: My Name Is Earl =)
Aww can’t wait for the giveaways!! I love Mellan, so cute!! Those new pics are so funny! ♥
Yay for VV! 🙂
Haul – Only the 2 minerlized eyeshadow from VV collection ( nothing else caught my eye).
Plans- In the process of moving into a bigger apartment !! YAY !!
Last thing I watched – Ghost Adevtnures ( this show is sooo mindless but the cute guy (host) is nice eyecandy !!
I’m so jealous! I want a bigger apartment, lol!
I love dogs! So whenever you post any pics of Mellan I run to see his adorable face! But this keeps going through my mind: he looks sad..or maybe that’s just the way he is..sooo quiet. Yet sooo CUTE!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Did you watch the vid? ‘Cause he doesn’t look sad there!
He’s more like, “Really? Must you do this to me? I’d rather play with toys than pose with them!”
Haul: UD BOS III- I am over elated and have used it every day since receiving it. I’m taking it with me this weekend so I can play around with some looks!
Friday plans: Work, then driving to NY to visit the fam & celebrate my moms & sisters birthdays! Also dropping off my old car that my parents gave me in College since I bought a new one 2 weeks ago!
Last thing you watched: Date Night
You gotta share your fave looks with BoS III with us, Ru!
So far I’ve just tried Bordello on the lid with Psycadelic Sister on the crease- gosh I’ve never owned UD shadows before they pigment beautifully. I also played around with Money on the lid and Loaded on the crease- and a little Uzi in the middle of the lid- this is a winner for Fall and a great sultry blue look. Today I’ve got Snatch with a darker coral color from Too Faced.
BTW, a personal thanks to YOU for your fabulous review of the product. I rarely buy makeup without seeing it first hand and your review made that choice really easy. You were very true to the colors in your swatches and explanations!
Yay! Happy to hear my swatches came in handy 😀
mellan is so cute! he looks so relaxed…
my beauty haul: mac villain collection stuff, + a couple of other mac items…bad fairy and formidable arrived yesterday so hopefully i will get a chance to play around with them today / this weekend during a study break or something! i accidentally bought a blush in a pro refill pan — but i don’t have a pro palette, so i might have to go out and get one! i hope depotting blushes is as straightforward as eyeshadows!
He’s such a mellow lab! So thankful for that 😉
Depotting blushes is pretty much the same, just way bigger!
Aww Mellan! You just wanna give him a big squeeshy hug 🙂
I don’t have my products yet, but I did make a big Venomous Villains order, and took advantage of Ulta’s 40% off sale for NYX!
Feel free, he won’t mind!
HAUL: I purchased Oh So Nice Beauty Powder, Briar Rose Beauty Powder, and Innocence Beware l/s from Mac online.
Here’s where it gets interesting: They shipped me a “Her Own Devices” Beauty Powder from the Cruella part of the collection as well. FREE BEAUTY POWDER WTF! My lucky day!
FRIDAY PLANS: I’ll be picking up my boyfriend at school after work for some cuddle wuggle snuggle time.
WHAT YOU LAST WATCHED: Colbert last night before I fell asleep. I had to turn Jersey Shore off when they put a used tampon/pad onto Angelina’s bed. The girl’s annoying, but the Situation’s behaviour is borderline harassment as well as incredibly immature.
Wow! Free beauty powder — score!
I stopped at my MAC yesterday and picked up well dressed powder blush, Nymphette and love nectar l/g, and plink and creme cup l/s. They were out of angel l/s 🙁
Friday Plans: Take the kids to the park later. Maybe make some more of my pumpkin spice muffins they are almost gone!
I last watched Jersey Shore too!
Oh… pumpkin spice muffins. Send me some? Thanks!
I’ve been a bit better behaved this week lol.
I got Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencils in Deviant, Eldorado and Graffiti, and used a loyalty card voucher to get 2 of those free.
Then I went to TJ Hughes, where they had a few items of Urban Decay at very reduced prices – I got lipstick in Trainwreck, Deluxe Eyeshadows in Heat and Sting, Liquid Eyeliners in Gash and Lucky, and the Three Piece Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner set.
I also got Models Own nail polishes in Magenta Pearl and Purple Mystique, and because I bought 2 Models Own products, I got a Models Own lipgloss free – I chose Ice Blue, which I can use to vary the colours of some of my lipsticks.
I’m trying to be good as there are things I want from the Venomous Villains collection, which should be coming out here this month, although I’m not sure when.
Hopefully you’ll see VV soon! I’ve heard October 1-7th for European countries!
Looks like I’ll be up all night every night this week, watching for VV to come online lol. I don’t have a MAC counter anywhere near, so online is my only option. Thanks to your swatches and your ‘cheat sheet’, I have my list virtually prepared for when the time comes.
Oh no! 🙁 Hopefully you’ll snag it sooner rather than later and can get some rest!
Seriously, TGIF!
Latest Haul: MAC VV Collection- My Dark Magic MES, She Who Dares MES, Briar Rose BP, Bite of an Apple blush, Oh So Fair BP, French Quarter GPS, Hot House l/g. And NARS Rajasthan duo & Douceur blush.
Hoping to go to the movies tonight with my guy. Gotta get my popcorn and cherry coke fix! Other than that, catching up on school work and house cleaning this weekend… BORING!
PS- Who is really shocked Angelina left JS? Not I!
If only she had left earlier!
Haul: Sigma brushes. Waiting for them…
Friday plans: First, I have to go to my italian lessons; then, to the doctor and after all, I’m watching a film (Baaria) with a friend.
Last thing I saw: Men in trees… Chapter 14th of the 2nd season.
Hope you enjoy your new brushes!
oh, i finally i can participate too at your free for haul friday. i did’t buy stuff for a while but today i hauled a lot (i mean, really a lot) stuff from venomous villains, which released today in switzerland.
and my plans for friday are even better: i go and watch an icehockey game of my most favorite team togheter with my sister. i haven’t been at an icehockey game for about 7 years! i’m so excited!
YAY! Happy to see ya in FFHF! 😀
I did a bit of damage yesterday at MAC. I got a few things from each of the Venomous Villians mini-collections, but my absolute favourites are Sinister Lipstick and Resort Life Lip Gelée! I wore them together last night and love them! Oh, and I’m wearing “Formidable!” on my nails right now. 🙂
Weekend plans: Relaxing tonight and Saturday, hopefully! I need a break! And I’m kind of dreading a multi-family photo session I’m doing on Sunday. It’s my biggest project yet, and I’m very nervous.
My dog is the cutest because: She totally sleeps with a teddy bear. It’s a huge stuffed pig that’s nearly the same size she is (She’s a pug), and she hauls it onto our bed with her every night. In the morning, she brings it to her dog bed in my office while I’m working. We have two pugs, but with her and her pig in the dog bed, there’s barely room in there for her brother! Hmm, maybe that’s the whole point!
Awwwww! I wish Mellan slept with a stuffed animal.
That is adorable!!
YAAAYYYY FOR FRIDAAAYY!!!!!!! I got paid yesterday so obviously that was the best part of the week…
My haul this week was all about lipstick. Here it is:
– 2 KISS KISS lipsticks from Guerlain, #573 Rose Ingenue and #542 Peche Frevole
– 1 Guerlain Rouge G lipstick #4 Gentiane
– 1 Lancome Le Rouge Absolu in Rose Crystal
– Maybelline #015 Born With It
I want to try some different colors but there are just SO MANY!!! I’m going to The Bay tonight to look at the Rouge Coco but I’m still iffy as to the shades that would look good on me 🙁 I have fair NC30/MUFE 120 skin, blue eyes, round-ish face and brownish-reddish hair… is anyone can help I would really appreciate it!! I have a list of the lipsticks I want to check out….I don’t really think I would wear RED lipstick, or one that’s too orange (but I love light coral)
SO HELP A SISTER OUT!!!
Thanks guys, hope everyone’s having a super duper awesome Friday!!!!!!!! <3<3<3
The Rouge Coco line is hugeeeeeee! It is overwhelming. There’s a summer coral that’s pretty, not sure if they’ll still have it, but you can ask!
Try Organdi Rose or Rose Comete…
More coral – Egerie and maybe La Pausa
thanks guys!!! 1.5 hours and I am outta the office and into the department store…….can’t wait!!!!!
TGIF
Body Shop’s Autumn Leaves Compact in Berry and two of their baked to last eyeshadows (Amythest and Saphire). The compact’s almost too pretty to use~

PS: Happy 4th Blogversary(looks much funnier when written out) Christina:)
Aww, thank you!! LOL, yes, the word blogaversary is an odd one!
& Mellan is such a good sport…& a cutie pie!!!
Thanks 🙂
Haul: HUGE Venemous Villans haul! I feel so guilty, but the few items I picked up in person (ordered the rest online) are gorgeous so it feels like it is worth it.
Friday plans: Working out over lunch, catching up on work all afternoon and working on the LAST room in our new house that we need to paint this evening. Not super glamourous but it will feel nice to cross some things off my list.
Last thing you watched: 30 Rock! Funniest show on television
Is 30 Rock a show you have to see from the beginning or can you just jump in?
I think each episode is definitely “standalone funny.” But, 30 Rock does harken back to past episodes quite a bit, so you may not understand everything. I think Seasons 1-4 are free streaming on Netflix right now if you wanted to catch up!
Thanks! 🙂
Mellan is SO adorable! I would be begging to dogsit if I weren’t at least two time zones away from you!
VV Haul!

Enjoy your trip to the UK!
Haul: Got VV in the mail with She who Dares, My Dark Magic (both lovley), Toxic Tale which is WAY to bright on fair skin and Dark Deed which looks like plum shade on me. XP I miss my MAC counters.
Curently hearting Hard Candy Button Your Lip – Liquid Lipstick (gloss section) in Luxe and wanting more shades. Things I want to buy/try are Blush Crush – Baked Blush and Kaleyedescope – Baked Eyeshadow Duos once there is a restock (the shelves are bare. O_o )
Friday plans: Getting ready for Nuit Blanche in the big TO. aka artist all night zombie fest.
Last thing you watched: Fringe (<— this will be my answer for ever Thursday night. lol)
I have never watched Fringe before! I might have to start!
Recommended renting the first 2 season first since if you start at season 3 I think people would be lost. It’s the type of story that builds up from previous episodes. ^_^
For Nuit Blanche I should say insomnia fest, but there is a zombie walk that goes on every year during it as well. Last year there was also a “choir” of ghosts. lol
Thank you!! 🙂 Might just do that!
Haul: MAC VV. wooohoo (im sure everybody else too) – 🙂
Friday Plans: Nothing, i work all weekend.. (THANKS MACYS) – LOL. off next weekend, i think! .. so i guess my plan is to make it through the weekend 😉
Last thing i watched: Family Guy.. before i went to sleep. makes me feel laugh before hitting the ol’ hay!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! . GOOD luck with catching up with school work Christine!!
Do you have any fun plans for next weekend then?
Haul- aw mellan! always manages to put a smile on my face :). ok so i got soap and glory’s Arch de Triumph, but then i returned it because i dont use eyebrow products (they just naturally thick, i do so much beauty- wise already) , duh! i dont even know why i bought it. instead i got a new burts bees beeswax lipbalm, my favourite. im on my 5th tube i think. as far as what i want to get, the pink- purple Malificient mineralize eyeshadow from VV looks nice, but nothign else from that collection grabs me. im still waitin’ on Girl Meets Pearl!
Plans- the Australian Football grand final is on tomorrow, so ill be watching that!
Last Thing I watched- The Runaways. kristen stewart and dakota fanning are both really, really good in it- worth a watch.
Wow! 5th tube! I did not like Burt’s Bees lip balm (the one in the twist-up tube) myself, did not feel like it did a thing 🙁
So I went “a little” overboard this week. Had my pre-order for VV done with Nordstroms so I picked it up yesterday. The “little” should not be in quotation marks as there was nothing little about it.
I got:
De-vil, Her After Image, Vile Violet, Vanglorious, Sweetjoy eyeshadows, My Dark Magic and She Who Dares Mineralize ES, Brash And Bold Pigment, French Quarter Greasepaint Stick, Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Truth & Light, Bite of an Apple and Darkly My Dear Blushes, Oh So Fair and Briar Rose Beauty Powders, Bad Fairy, Formidable and Mean & Green Nail Laquers, Toxic Tale Lipstick, Wicked Ways, Devilishly Stylish, Strange Potion, Hot House, Revenge is Sweet Lipglosses and last but not least resort Life Lipgelee. I love all the stuff but the receipt made me almost faint and not only me but two ladies behind me in line as well. They looked at me as if I was crazy, but I still walked out of there with a big smile on my face.
WHEW! I bet you’re enjoying all or your goodies! What did you use first?
I did a look today with She Who Dares mineralize eye shadow (the green side)and some Fix+, with soft brown shadow in the crease as a transition color and french quarter as a base. Used some hey as a highlight and in the inner corners and also a pop of dark green pencil on the bottom line. She Who Dares blush lightly on the cheeks and Devilishly stylish lipgloss for neutral lip. Also used truth and light as a highlight.
That sounds so gorgeous!
BTW, I was just watching the Mellan plays with his “haul” video and had the sound volume up loud. When my dogs heard the sounds of him playing with his toys they bouth jumped up and started running around the house looking for the squike toys.
LOL!!
Awww Melon made me giggle!!! Lol.
Haul: MAC disney villainous villains in briar rose beauty powder, she who dares min. E/s, innocence beware l/s, strange potions l/g, bite of an apple blush, resort life lip gellie, 2 magically cool powders in truth and life. (I was very excited about these!!) And bad faerie nail polish. And that did me in for awhile. 🙂

So how long did the toys last? 🙂 Our dog Scotti would have taken the stuffing out of the toys in a few minutes! BTW, I got MAC Pro Longwear foundation and concealer. I love them! Really looked great despite the heatwave here in East Bay.
They’re all still intact! 🙂 He’s not much of a destroyer!
Halu: My Venemous Villians stuff came in today. In the box: Heartless, Strange Potion, Vile Violet, Bad Fairy and Formidable! Later today I’m on the hunt for Zulu since NARS is a jerk and won’t ship to Canada.
Random Fact: My cat Luna is the cutest because she is a Siamese. If you look up perfection in the dictionary, her picture is used as an example.
I hope you can find Zulu!! <3
I think Mellan would have to argue with that, LOL!
Mellan!!!! Soooo cute!

A majority of this haul was a result of what’s going on right now at school (I go to Rutgers, everyone is doing some major grieving right now) and I needed to de-stress.
My heart goes out to you, Lauren! I hope you have lots of people around to lean on!

Haul VV:
Innocence Beware – debating on keeping this, it does show every lip skin flaw like creme d’nude =/
Toxic Tale – at the store I swatched on hand and thought “wow this is too much!” but then the SA put strange potion over it and it mellowed down so I got it!
Strange Potion – reminds me a lot of Fold and Tuck but that’s ok because I love that one.

I have a 2.5yo male chocolate lab named Moose and he would be playing with all those toys and would not pose quietly like Mellan. Every time I put something on his head he knocks it off!! So frustrating. I put antlers on him last year for Christmas and well.. they didn’t last long. Mellan is adorable! I want to pinch his nose! 😛

OMG, he’s so CUTE!!! Love the way he slings that squeaky pumpkin around! My haul wasn’t near as exciting, lol. I got the Clarisonic Opal thingie that’s supposed to infuse serum into your eye area & make it look better. I think I see a positive change but I might just be trying to rationalize dropping hella lot of cash on it. Other than that, I got YSL Golden Gloss #31 and a few great drugstore deals at Ulta, where NYX, Revlon & Maybelline were 40% (all products) for no apparent reason.
Let us know how the Opal goes!! Curious to hear if it works!

I picked up my VV haul. I got there at 11 this morning and was told they’d already sold out of several things. (Glad I pre-paid.) For some reason, my MAC counter only put the collection out today. I live in a small town, but still not surprising. I got Sinister l/s, Devilishly Stylish l/g, Revenge is Sweet l/g, Strange Potion l/g, She Who Dares e/s, My Dark Magic e/s, Briar Rose b/p, and Oh So Fair b/p. Can’t wait to try everything!

Heartless
Wicked Ways
Devilishly Stylish
De Vil
Dark Deed
Violetta
Toxic Tale
Sinister (had to order since my MAC sold out when I realized I wanted it)
Friday Plans: I had a surprise lunch with the hubby, and tonight I plan on watching The Little Mermaid with my daughters
Last thing you watched: Haven’t turned on the TV today yet, but last night I watched yet another lifetime movie lol. It was only 2 hours this time.
LOL! 2 hours is short for a Lifetime movie! I watched one, and I swear, it was like four hours.
OMG, that first toy you threw–the one that screamed–sounds just like the screaming orange welcome mat we had while I was growing up. We always had a ton of candy left over after trick-or-treat day because all the kids (and we’re talking military kids here. We’re our own brand of tough) were TERRIFIED of the Screaming Mat. I was only scared of it when I forgot it was there. I was clever and found ways around it or I stomped on it for fun. My brother was as terrified of that mat as all the other kids! The Screaming Mat died after some kid decided to be mean to the scream box. Poor Mat!
I so totally need that dog toy.
Haul: I finally got my Temptu Retouch Blush & Highlighter Set I won from Bellasugar! Yay! I’m going to TJ Maxx tomorrow to buy a new ASB (Airport Security Bag, aka the bag I carry everywhere). I think I may cry saying goodbye to the old one; it’s been my faithful companion the last four years.
I also bought some plum ribbon for Zena to match her harness and leash for when she gets blessed at church on Sunday. She’s going to hate me because she’s getting a bath tomorrow because I refuse to let a dirty dog get blessed. She has to be shiny, shiny clean.
Friday plans: Think of a plan to get Zena into the bathroom without my carrying her up FOURTEEN stairs. She’s fine once I get her into the tub, but getting her there is the problem. I have to chase her all over the house.
Last Thing I Watched: My DVR’d House and Law & Order: SVU episodes.
It’s great, LOL! Martha Stewart screaming toy or whatever. I think it was $10 or $11 at Petsmart. 🙂
We had a screaming man for many years. Stuffed with newspaper and looked like a skeleton, screamed when you came near him.
Mellan is really weird. He will go into the tub all by himself. I just point and he goes into the tub all sulking. Then he just sits there looking like a sad sack!
Blame the fact he’s a Labrador (they love water).
I have to stay on my toes; one plan doesn’t work the same twice with Z. Zena is smarter than she looks. She knows she’s screwed once I get her into the tub and gives me that, “You’re really going going to wash ME?!?!” look. Before that, I’m chasing her down the stairs, all over the living room and kitchen, down the basement, up into the living room, etc. It’s exhausting!
He does love him some water, though he definitely doesn’t enjoy the bath. He enjoys watching people shower and trying to catch the droplets, LOL. But he is also a perv…
Oh, be thankful Mellan gets in the bathtub for you! It likes a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon in my house! However, Coyote (yours truly) actually catches Roadrunner.
Zena is officially a new dog…or a sacred one, depending on how you look at it. She’s been blessed. AND, she beat Oreo (my aunt’s dog) out of the park. Everyone LOVES Zena, I tell you. EVERYONE. I don’t how she does it, but she just charms everyone. She turns her head and POOF! every person circles around her asking about her. It boggles my mind.
Haha! You are lucky to have such a charmer of a dog, then 😉 Even if she does give you hell when it’s bath time!
Mellan is so freakin’ cute, LOL!

Last thing you watched: Days of our Lives (I had some episodes on the dvr that I had to catch up on).
I used to LOVE DAYS! I stopped watching when they went all crazy with Shawn/Belle. I have no idea what’s going on now!
Haul : a milani lipgloss , a essie nailpolish , and a MES from the VV collection ( I figured I could pass on the rest of the collection )
Friday plans : I went shopping , and I plan on spending some time with my family
Last thing I watched – Im watching Jersey shore now .
FYI : for all my lovely ladies who live in the chicagoland area , the Macys in Orland still has almost full stock of the Venomous Villains Collection
Which Milani Lipgloss?
its pink and it has a brush , i think its Fashion Diva . Its almost a dupe for my Electric Fuschia L/g
OMG! I got ANOTHER email from mac, this time saying that I might not get Strange Potion l/g, so in a fit of anger, I bought another Strange Potion and Nars Zulu and Mash. Oh and like 20 China Glaze polishes AND Orly Space Cadet and Galaxy Girl. yikes!
From VV, I got:
Strange Potion l/g (maybe?)
Heartless l/s
French Quarter GPS
Wicked Ways l/g
The two mineralize eyeshadows
Resort Life lipgelee
And I just got my BOS III, Illamasqua Baptiste n/p, and the Boscia black mask from Sephora!
Phew, I think I’m good until Christmas!! The last time I hauled was at IMATS in June with some early birthday money, so I’m really happy.
Weekend plans: Ick, study for an ochem midterm Monday :/
Oh, PS, Christine, do you know of any nice moisturizers for oily skin? I think you have more normal/combination skin, but I was hoping with your infinite wisdom, you could recommend a few. ;P
Hey Natalie!
Okay, so for oily skin, you want a moisturizer that talks about being “lotion” and stay away from creams. I don’t know, you might know that, but oh well! Lotions are thinner, creams are heavier. Technically, “oil-free” is also a nice buzz word for a good moisturizer for oily skin… but not regulated so you might want to look at the ingredient list, too. I do like Kiehl’s Daily Moisturizer – it’s not quite enough for my slightly drier skin, but it’s lightweight and minimal.
Haul: More VV stuff: picked up my pre-order last night: Truth & Light magically cool liquid, My Dark Magic, Devilishly Stylish, Formidable & Bad Fairy nail polish, Bite of an Apple blush, Vainglorious e/s (ok, I think I ordered Revenge is Sweet somehow Vainglorious made it to my bag? LOL), Wicked Ways lipglass- that’s all from VV~ From Hautelook: Stila e/s in Tolima, Kamet, Shore & 24Kt lipglasses in Vintage Merlot & Brilliant Pink + jeans & shirt at GAP!
Friday Plans: just chillin’ at home
Last thing you watched: Chelsea Lately
Mellan sure looks like he’s really enjoying his hauls! My mom and I both enjoy Mellan pics and videos – it’s our Friday thing to do.

As for the questions:
Haul- my VV stuff came in today, I only got Vile Violet and Her Alter Image from it. I’m regretting not getting the Revenge is Sweet gloss, and now it’s sold out. Also got 2 lipsticks I had wanted – Hug Me and Blankety.
Plans – had surgery last week so am still lying on the couch. Plan to do that all weekend too.

Haul: A nice selection from VV: http://i53.tinypic.com/2uespaa.jpg
Pardon the iPhone pic. The packaged item is a backup Bad Fairy. I actually ended up loving Mean and Green so much that I want to go back and hope to get a backup of that one, too!
Friday plans: After I got out of class, I was so wiped out that I just slept until 8 with the boy. It was glorious. It’s been raining nonstop in NYC, as I’m sure you know, making for perfect sleep weather!
Last thing you watched: My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. It’s a really cute Korean drama and I saw the last episode yesterday 😀
Love your haul pic, Anna! 🙂
I bought Heartless, Sinister and Dark Deed lipsticks, Wrong Spell lipglass, Briar Rose and Oh So Fair Beauty Powders, and Darkly My Dear blush, along with Bad Fairy and Mean and Green nail lacquers.
I’m thinking about getting the mirror too, because it was so nice and flat. I was very sad that Formidable! was sold out. I usually never buy nail lacquers, but these I absolutely loved.
I also bought a new shirt and bag. Totally gorgeous. They’re from a semi-expensive brand (Desigual) and I’m veeeeery happy I got them 20% off.
20% off is always good 😀
Haul: some items from VV collection… Toxic tale, strange potion,violleta, briar rose, mineralize shadows, and Cajun powder and the nail lacquers 🙂

Thank you! 🙂
Good luck on your exam!
Haul: Just purchased an empty MAC quad. Now I’m trying to debate wheter or not I should get the Make-Up Forever foundation or NARS.
Friday plans: I wasn’t feeling too great about test results from school, so this is my mental day and I’ll hit the books tomorrow.
Last thing you watched: Jersey Shore/Project Runway. YAY Angelina is gone and I adore Mondo’s stuff!

Weekend plans: Honestly due to family stuff I haven’t gotten a chance to catch up on homework so I’ll be doing that and cleaning and catching up on TV.
Excited for: The fact that I’m student teaching again and to get to know someone better.
What a sweetheart your sister is 😀

All in all a pretty chilled friday!! 🙂

Haul: I ordered MAC Springsheen, still waiting for that to arrive with a couple of Pixi lip palettes.
Today I picked up 2 Body Shop baked eyeshadow duos, Amethyst and Moonstone and then went into the department store next door and discovered they now have Butter London Nailpolish!!! Yay! $30NZD a bottle, but hey… I picked up HRH and All Hail McQueen and I will go back in a couple of weeks when I get paid again and get Henley Regatta & Rosie Lee. And maybe Primrose Hill Picnic…
And yesterday I bought 4 pairs of Isa Dambeck earrings. And the latest Lee Child book so I can’t wait to get stuck into that.

VV was just released yesterday and got the 2 mineralized eyeshadows, at least 1 lipglass from the 3 female villains (sorry Dr F) and the blush and beauty powder from Evil Queen.
I didn’t get any eyeshadows coz I figured I should get the sets from Tartan Tale.
My weekend plans is to spend some time with my guy.

Friday(is really saturday) plans: enjoying the first day i have had off from work in 9 DAYS!!!
Last thing i watchedthe entire series of Coupling from BBC. gotta love hulu
I’m terrified to use heat on my lashes :O
I actually haven’t gotten anything this week yet but am planning to go to the MAC counter tomorrow to check out VV, and also get all three of the nail polishes since I missed out on the Orly dupes.
Let us know what you get!
Haul: From Venomous Villains I got Oh So Fair beauty powder, Bite of an Apple blush, Heartless l/s, She Who Dare mes, and My Dark Magic mes. I picked up Benefit’s Her Name Was Glowla makeup kit for my sister as one of her birthday presents. I also got drugstore eyeliner, Loreal Carbon Black Liner Intense, it’s easy on my wallet and I love it.
Friday plans: the day is mostly over. I have a really bad cold but it’s my sister’s 16th birthday, and she is living with me right now, so I threw a party for her at my house.
Last thing I watched: currently watching Say Yes to the Dress. I don’t know what it is about wedding shows but I love them!
Weddings are so pretty! Especially the dresses!
I know it’s not technically Friday any more, but I still want to play! 😀
Haul: Mine is almost all VV, hehe. Truth & Light (that feeling is so weird and awesome), French Quarter, Heartless (OMG, a perfect red on me, what is this), Devilishly Stylish, and the Longwear Pro foundation and concealers…I’m NC15. Can I get paler? No?
I think I’m going back tomorrow for Oh So Fair BP…I’m almost out of my Hello Kitty blush, so it’s time. Plus, I need something that doesn’t give me such a bright pink kick. I feel like it’ll do the job. I’m really sad, though, since our MAC was out of Bad Fairy within a few hours. Definitely prebuying next time. 🙁 Hopefully they’ll have more in stock for our artist event in two weeks – apparently we get to dress up like Cruella or the Evil Queen and take pictures. That is so exciting, I love dress-up.
I also got some Lush face scrub and solid shampoos in the mail…trying to rehab my hair after about six months of bleaching…I was a mess, for serious. Hopefully those work out.
Friday plans: I did nothing but work on my grad school work all day, hooray! Did have dinner with some friends, but I had to go home almost immediately and finish some assignments. I had seven due this week! OMG! (But law school has to be worse.)
Last thing I watched: 30 Rock last night. That show is a hoot.
You can always play, no matter if it isn’t Friday so I’m glad you did 😀
I’m crossing my fingers for your hair!
Thanks. I’ve made a pact to myself – no more hairdye (professional or otherwise) for six months. We’ll see if I can keep it up…I had blonde highlights from about seventh grade until my junior year of college, eep. But that was nothing compared to bleaching my entire head. Never again, I says!
Haul: I bought 2 Urban Decay Book of Shadow Vol. 3 for me and my friend’s 21st birthday, Daisy by Marc Jacob, tokidoki Pittura Brush Set, NARS sheer glow in FIJI ( i was supposed to get sheer matte….), Kat Von D palette in Beethoven, Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Collide, UDPP Professional Size, Stila Backstage Eye Shadow Palette, TARINA TARANTINO Dollskin Eye Primer, Benefit’s The POREfessional, SEPHORA COLLECTION I.T. Natural Foundation Brush, And some clothes and shoes from forever21
( I went on some shopping spree to give myself a treat for working fulltime and going to school hahaha )
Friday plans: I went to my friend’s 21 birthday party 😀
Last thing you watched: Law In Order (season premiere)
How was Law & Order’s premiere?
Haul: Book of shadows 3
Friday plans: I stayed home and slept a lot!
Last thing you watched: The Bad Son, it was on LMN.
LMN omgg, that channel will SUCK YOU IN!
awwww Mellan has the sweetest face! Well I guess I wasn’t kidding when I said I might have to get the whole Venemous Villain’s collection …. got all of Cruella and Evil Queen, most of Maleficent and some Dr Facilier, about 30 items in all. Told ya I luv this collection!
Very nice!!
Haul- got my VV stuff- 1. Bite of an Apple blush 2. Magically cool liquid powder 3. Dark Deed lipstick 4. Briar Rose Beauty powder 5. French Quarter greasepaint stick 6. She who dares Mineralize E/S

Friday plans: I cleaned my grandmas house, worked and went out with the girls!
Last thing you watched: family guy new episode
Nice VV haul, Jess!
I had been mostly good until MAC VV released, ugh!
My haul was this: Wrong Spell, Hot House, Wicked Ways, & Devilishly Stylish l/g
Sinister, Dark Deed, & Heartless l/s
Resort Life lip gelee
Mean & Green and Formidable n/p ( I was too late for Bad Fairy, I may return these and get the Orly dupes)
Oh So Fair beauty powder
My Dark Magic & She Who Dares mes
French Quarter greasepaint
Vaingloious & Sweet Joy e/s
Darkly My Dear blush (this one was unplanned, but looked great on me so how could I resist?)
I am still relatively new to MAC (all Temptalia’s fault with the amazing reviews and gorgeous swatches that make me want it all) so I had to pick up some additional supplies. Here’s that list:
Pro Longwear Foundation and Concealer in NW20 to replace my Dior Skin Nude (It left me shiny, ugh!)
Prep+Prime Skin Refined Zone Treatment
Clear Brow Finisher and Omega e/s for my brows
Stripdown lip pencil
Plushlash
Oh, I am also still upgrading my brushes so I picked up 191, 219, & 252
I beleive I am going to need to take care of the Macy’s bill before my husband sees how much I spent at the MAC counter. I couldn’t even admit to my mom how much I actually bought when I was chatting with her today, my sisters and her already think I am ridiculous about makeup.
Is it bad that I already booked my appointment for Tartan Tale and am lusting for the Cham Pale collection? Though with any luck these colletions will be far less damaging to my wallet, ha!
Nope, not bad at all 😉 Very good of you to think ahead, right?!
The pics are so cute, my dog loves stuffies too!
Last week I found possibly the last Chanels Pink Explosion blush, so I’m happy! Estee Lauder Wild Plum color gloss and Rasberry Pop gloss.
Last thing I watched: Social Network
How was the Social Network?
It was so good, I recommend it!
