Free for Haul Friday, Volume #131
Welcome to Free For Haul Friday!
- Haul: Nothing for this week I don’t think! It’s been a pretty hectic time with a lot of crises going on, so I’ve been testing a lot of products I have in the pipeline without trying to add even more.
- Weekend plans: Farmer’s market, wash Mellan (which is more of a chore for today), head to my parents’ for Mother’s Day
- What was your favorite toy growing up?: My Little Ponies!
Share your pet photos to the Temptalia Pets flickr group! 🙂
This week’s Mellan photo (well, video)…
Trying to teach Mellan what his new toy is!
I’ve been buying so many things lately – they were bribes to get me through finals! But finals are done now, and I graduate later today, yay!
This week, I bought a brush roll, NARS Vesuvio, Laura Mercier cake eyeliner, MAC MSFN, and a couple Burberry items. So much! I’m going to take it easy on the purchasing for a while now.
Weekend plans are just to be mellow – graduation is today, I’m trying on wedding dresses tomorrow, yay!
I loved Playmobile as a kid!
@Emi at Project Swatch NARS’ Vesuvio may perhaps be my favorite red lipstick of all time! Let me know what you think of it. Congratulations on your graduation and upcoming wedding! 🙂
Haul: imPress nail sets (2 yellow tone nude french and 1 watercolor floral on) and a 3 new Maybeline nail polish (the denim ones are so pretty!)
Weekend plans: Mother’s Day dinner we are doing Saturday, I’m also spending the morning with my friend as it’s her B-day for shopping. More sewing…
What was your favorite toy growing up?: I think either my She-Ra doll when I was super young or Ariel doll when I got older.
Speakig of My Little Ponies I’ve got a box full of them as well. When have a chrsitmas one for my B-Day. My mom was adiment about keeping them as she cringes about of original Barbie and how much is is worth now being thrown out.
Haul : just going to pick up some jack black lip balm today
weekend plans : brush my husky 🙁 it’s a snow globe in my apartment as she’s shedding
favorite toy : polly pocket and legos!
Haul: Not a lot in terms of make up really. I got Wholesome Fluidline and Famously Fab lipglass from MAC because they’re in the “goodbyes” section now so I wanted to grab them whilst I could. I also got a back up of Heroine lipstick.
I think I’m going to go into town tonight or tomorrow to check out the new Urban Decay shadows. I already have pretty much all the shades but I’d like to pick up singles of a few of them (AC/DC, Verve, Mushroom, Bordello, Virgin, Rockstar and Pistol I think) because they’re my favourites and I only own them in palettes. For some reason it really bugs me when I hit pan on one or two shades in a palette and others remain untouchd – I like to try and use the shades more evenly!
Weekend plans: Hoping the weather is ok because we have a picnic in the park planned for me and a friend’s 30th birthdays!
