What a gorgeous picture of Mellan and his Hedgey 😀
Haul: Everything lip. Armani Maestro in #201..totally sexy vampy and a slew of OCC Lip Tars from the new collection and some regulars. I must say that Super NSFW is freaking dazzling. It was instant love with this one 🙂
Weekend Plans: put up the holiday decorations
Favourite winter accessory: slippers/slipper boots! I’m obsessed with fashionably keeping my feet warm.
Ooh, lots of lip products — and all long-wearing ones at that!
Haul:
I went on an online Sephora shopping spree to get my cousin a birthday present (Sephora brand moisturizers). I went crazy on retail therapy for myself. I got the Make Up For Ever Ultimate Eye Liner Collection, the Flowerbomb gift set, and the Alterna Bamboo Smooth Try Me Trio Kit. At this rate Santa is never going to give me a Christmas present because I keep doing the hard work for him!
Weekend plans:
Got my $20 VIB from Sephora and I’m gonna use it. My rain boots, rain coat, umbrella, and my waterproof shopping bags are ready for everything. Downtown San Francisco here I come!
Favorite winter accessory?:
Scarves. If I get a bright enough scarf I don’t have to wear many accessories. It also doubles as gift wrap if I can afford to go fancy on gift giving (and the gift fits).
If you’re shopping for rainboots you should take a look at däv. Rain boots with fun patterns and their lace-up versions fit my giant calves of steel. I actually look forward to the rain so I can wear my däv boots outside.
Thanks for the boot rec! The ones I asked for were by Hunter, but if those don’t work out, I’ll check out dav!
Haul: Becca’s Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation(meh)and Byzantine creme blush, Illamasqua Hollow, Gleam, and a cream blush, OCC Lip Tar pack from Sephora, Nars Albatross lip gloss, and Jack Black lip balm.
Weekend plans: Nothing at all! I’m excited after the last two weeks.
Favorite winter accessory?: Absolutely scarves and boots! A good scarf can completely change an outfit.
Scarves are so transformative!
Haul: I picked up a WnW shadow in Unplugged from the drugstore, but that’s about it. I’m pretty pleased with it. I plan on getting some stuff with my VIB Reward, but I’m waiting until I can also get the free gift for my bday, too. I’m hoping the LORAC Pro Palette goes back in stock soon.
Weekend plans: I’m cleaning carpets tonight. I’m going to try to get some Christmas shopping done tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the football game. Wooo! I think Sunday will just be a relaxing day, and I might start to make Cannoli shells to freeze for Christmas. Will probably bust out the tree and other decorations, too.
Favorite winter accessory?: Scarves…no Boots…no, no…oversized, cozy sweaters! Or wait, do holiday candles count?! I love fall and winter. 🙂
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Haha! I don’t know if candles count as an accessory ;P
Haul: Cult Nails polishes(afterglow, coveted, disciplined &flushed) and top coat. China Glaze Bend over Backwards, It’s a Trap-eze! and Running in Circles. Deborah Lippmann Cleopatra in New York.
Weekend Plans: Keeping my foots warm… until Sunday when it will be unseasonably warm.
Favourite winter accessory: My charcoal slouchy crochet hat with a brim from HiJinx on Etsy.
Fun polish picks!
Haul: Ciate mini manicure advent calendar (can’t wait to open this tomorrow!), a few Barry M glitter polishes, plus a replacement for the Illamasqua Boost lipgloss that I lost on Monday.
Weekend plans: A few drinks tonight for a friend’s birthday, Zumba class in the morning then visiting my parents tomorrow to exchange gifts with some family we won’t see over Christmas.
Favorite winter accessory?: Wooly hats – especially if they have bobbles on!
I have a Starbucks advent calendar – my first advent calendar! I share your excitement to open it tomorrow!
Your first advent calendar?! Double excitement!
Oh, I forgot that I also bought my first OCC Lip Tar, in the shade Super NSFW. Going to rock that at a Christmas Party I think!
Also…rain boots??? I have never heard that term before! In the UK we call them wellies 🙂
lol, we call them rain boots here, but basically wellies! 🙂
Haul: I seriously dropped most of my checking account into gifts. I don’t even know specifically what. so many boxes in my closet.
Weekend Plans: Shopping. Shopping. Oh and shopping.
Favorite winter accessory: BOOTS
LOL! Wednesday was a HUGE package day because of the BF/CM weekend – all gifts for others, at least!
Aww Mellan! What a cutie 🙂
Haul: My Hourglass Icon Femme Rouge Velvet Creme Lipstick, Exhibition Visionaire duo, and Chanel Notorious arrived!
Weekend plans: Off to see friends tomorrow and working on Sunday.
Favorite winter accessory: Scarves!
Yay! Glad you got Notorious!
Haul: L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadows in Bottomless Java and Iced Latte.
Weekend plans: Brunch with a friend tomorrow, then a birthday gathering for another friend.
Fave winter accessory?: My cute glittery red gloves. I am 27 and perhaps too old for them, but I still adore them. 🙂
Never too old for glitter!
Haul: Nothing Beuaty related. Still Christmas shopping, and was bad and got 2 Monster High Dolls from the Scaris series.
Weekend plans: Snow……. I’m actually not sure what I doing this weekend other then seeing Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Favorite winter accessory?: Scarves and leather gloves. I don’t wear hats just coats with hoods. 😉
I feel like I look ridiculous in hats so I never wear them! I got a coat this season that has a hood, and I’m sooo happy with it!
My hair is just to big/curl/wave to wear a hat over if… it like puff of hair sticking out like Burton’s Mad Hatter design. lol
Haul: I was pretty bad this week (by my standards anyway) and I don’t think I’m done now that I got that $15 dollars off coupon from Sephora, plus I’ve been contemplating a purchase from Zoya. On the positive side I can say that I’m extremely satisfied with all my purchases.
1. UD Dangerous palette. OMG this palette is so pigmented and smooth. Just got it yesterday so I still have to play around with it some more to figure out some combinations I like.
2. Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream. Sort of an impulse purchase in K-town but so far I’ve been liking it.
3. Stila Stay All Day liquid eyeliner. Completely lives up to the hype, it’s amazing!
4. Essie Feed Me. My nails have been feeling a little dry and peely for the last month as the temps have been dropping, so next time I do my nails I’m going to try this as a basecoat and see if it makes a difference.
2. Weekend Plans: Got nothing planned, will probably look for/contemplate what to get people for xmas.
3. Favorite Winter Accessory: I like scarves a lot too. I also love a pair of cute fluffy earmuffs.
Earmuffs! How I wish it got cold enough to wear those here. Okay, I don’t REALLY wish it.
I’m glad you’re lovin’ your purchases!
Mellan is so cute ( a hedgehog as a friend lol )
My Haul : I purchased 8 quads at Kiko’s ( 12,90 € each ), some are really comparable to high end ones and colours are great ( better than Chanel to be honest for some quads ) + 1 cream blush + 2 nail polishes + 3 lipsticks + 1 lipbalm + eyemakeup remover + nail polish remover + face lotion
and the UD primer potion at Sephora’s.
I will try and find some gifts next week, this year I have no ideas but I always find good ideas in the end so it’s ok !
It makes this loud grunt, which is why I think he loves it. Scares the dickens out of me, though!
Haul: Nothing beauty related, but I bought 7 pairs of shoes and boots in two days!
Weekend plans: Just boring stuff. Laundry, house cleaning, organizing my digital music collection, try to watch some movies and relax a bit.
Favorite winter accessory?: I love boots 😀 Also scarves.
SEVEN?! What kind? I love shoes. If I didn’t have a beauty blog, I’d have something on dogs or shoes.
Is it bad that I had to REALLY study this picture to know what the toy was?? Lol!
lol!
my bf’s dog copper LOVES that toy too. SO much that she ripped it. and we had to get her a new one!
Aww!! Mellan’s dog friend ripped his first one (that dog destroys EVERYTHING instantly), so this is his second!
Haul: First haul in a few months!!!! Consisted of several Beauty from the Earth eyeshadows, and A TON of Aromaleigh because of their sale.
Weekend plans: Packing and more packing to a new home. :}
Favorite Winter Accessory: Scarves to go with my pea coat.
Sounds like a lot of new eyeshadow combos are in your future!
Happy new home!!
what a sweetie! look at those sweet eyes!
Haul; Nothing!
Weekend Plans; nothing!
Favorite Winter Accessory; love me some scarves! and hats too like the ones you can get from forever 21
What’s your favorite scarf like?
the ones that that you can just put around your neck and be on your way lol i have having to tie them to my neck i suck at it
Haul: Guerlain Turandot Quad! I was so excited to find it and I could not resist, in spite of the high price…:)! But I’m sure it will be my favorite palette for the season :)!
Weekend plans: Catch up on reading and hopefully sleep!
Favorite Winter accessory: Scarves and tights!
I can imagine you jumping when Mellan makes the hedgehog grunt – I know the feeling :D!
Seriously, that toy has taken YEARS off my life, but he loves it, so I endure!
Haul: I tried to haul the Tarte 6-piece Smolder Eyes but a sudden blizzard (the first snow of the year) got in the way of that plan (I was going to head up after school but, instead, I came right home). I called Sephora, though, and they’ve put one aside for me to pick up tomorrow (when the crazy weather is supposed to be quite warm!).
Plans: yoga and a trip to Sephora (see “Haul”) – I need this as my hubby was in hospital since Saturday and my stress level was through the roof. Now that he’s home and perfectly fine, I need a bit of a treat!
Favourite winter accessory; Either scarves or, if I really want to make a statement, an ocelot (yes, I know, very not PC) muff that belonged to my mom and dates from the 50’s or perhaps earlier. With a black coat, it just looks outstanding. At the other end, because they are warm and practical and my daughter has a pair too, my BOGS.
That’s nice of Sephora to put it aside for you!
I’m so glad your hubby is OK!
Oh my gosh, I’ve NEVER seen another dog besides my Honey that loved a hedgehog. Cutest. Thing. Ever. Oh, and he’s a Lab, isn’t he?
Yup! Mellan is a lab. He’s obsessed with this toy!
Haul: Guerlain Shine Automatique in #264, Rose Pompon (sp?), Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Quince, ExfoliKate intensive, L’Occitane ultra rich face scrub. I am intending to go to the mall later today or tomorrow and pick up either another Burberry quad or the lip cover set they have going, though, and I have the $20 coupon from Sephora I think I’m using on a bigger size of ExfoliKate.
Weekend plans: Malling if I don’t get to it today, and working on Sunday. Also waxing on Sunday. My life, she is so exciting.
Favorite winter accessory: My Uggs. I have the classic short boots and I love them to pieces, I live in them all winter long. I’m planning on getting another pair in blue, I think, for variety. I’m not a huge fan of socks so the Uggs are perfect. I actually do have a pair of Ugg leather boots too now, with a sheepskin sole but black leather for the upper, and those are also awesome but require socks.
You’ll have to let me know how ExfoliKate Intensive is! I don’t think I’ve tried that before!
I actually bought the small size which is why I know I love it – Icould have sworn you’ve reviewed it though! It’s the one with the orange label on the tube, and it’s green. I personally love it – it tingles a bit, and it leaves my skin so amazingly soft. I do look a bit red after I’ve washed it off, but that doesn’t last very long, and I follow it up with moisturizer and it’s the best thing ever.
Um, Christine? http://www.temptalia.com/kate-somerville-exfolikate-treatment-review-photos
Ooh, I thought it was like.. an intenser version. Like ExfoliKate but amped up, LOL.
Haul: I received some brushes I purchased last week, and purchased a bunch of non-beauty presents for others 🙂
Weekend plans: So many good things! Tonight my fiancee and I are going to drink eggnog and make a gingerbread house; tomorrow we’re going to a shelter & hoping to come home with kittens; and Sunday I’m getting sworn in as a lawyer (found out recently that I passed the bar, YAY).
Favorite winter accessory is BOOTS! I wish I could wear them all year round.
Aww!! Making a gingerbread house sounds like a lot of fun!
OMG…my doberman Diesel has that exact same toy…except he killed it in 5 mins ~sigh~
Haul: LM Artist Palette for Eyes (irritated my eyes like crazy so it’s going back), Dior Poudre Shimmer in #2 Amber Diamond (best purchase ever!), Nars Laguna and Ole Henriksen Three Little Wonders Kit (so far so good)
Weekend plans: X-mas party tomorrow 😉 and work on Sunday 🙁
Favorite winter accessory?: Scarves
Five! That must be a record!
Haul: I went to London for a longer weekend and I spend several pounds for Shu Uemura (Oil and Lash curler), a Liz Earle regime (Cleanser, Toner and several moisurisers and treatments) and Nars (Eye primer, Sheer Glow foundation, Orgasm blush and a Larger than Life lip gloss). Only products, which are not available in Germany.
Weekend plans: Some grocery shopping and reading on Saturday and dinner with friends on Sunday.
Favorite winter accessory?: My pashmina. It is so cosey!!
I love, love shu’s cleansing oil! Total must-have! Which version did you get?
I got the yellow premioum oil A/I for sensitive skin.
I haven’t tried it yet, because I want to finish my MAC Oil first, which will take me about a month to use it up. I just hope my skin likes this oil cleanser.
Fingers crossed it works out for you, Nicole!
Awwww Mellan!
Haul: I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately, so my dad gave me some money to treat myself. So I picked up bareMinerals the Happy Place quad (my first purchase with the brand) and it is amazing! I can definitly see this becoming a staple.
Week-end plans: Buy some Chrismas gifts, and work!
Favorite Winter accessory: I love winter! I’d’say the leather glove my sister bought me? She went above and beyond to find some that would fit my teeny-tiny hands. But I often forget to wear them, as I have a crazy resistance to cold. Anything woollen, scarves or sweaters, are great, too.
Ooh, I hope you’re feeling better now, Anne! I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying your first BM purchase!
Oh yes, thank you! 🙂 It’s much better now. And well, the quad most definitly didn’t hurt!
Haul: L’Oreal nail polish in The Mystic’s Future and The Muse’s Attitude, L’Oreal HIP True Color cream liner in teal, Bare Escentuals duo in The Epiphany + Sephora eyeshadow brush (roommate’s birthday gift), Taylor Swift Wonderstuck fragrance (gift request from sister), Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion (gift)
Weekend Plans: I’m doubling tomorrow, going out with my roommate for her birthday on Sunday. 🙂
Favorite winter accessory: Boots! Heeled, flat, calf, ankle…I love them all.
Happy birthday to your roommate!
This may be my favorite photo of Mellan in a long, long time. Which says something as they’re all wonderful. I don’t know how you resist giving a little love bite to that nose! My God, I just want to eat him up. And I love how the hedgehog’s nose mirrors that of Mellan’s just above it.
Haul: Like you, everything BUT beauty this week. And, honestly, the less said about everything I bought, the better. With one exception: I’m going to boast all over the place about the new HTC One X phone (retail $500) which I bought for 99 CENTS. 99 CENTS! With Priority shipping for free. ROFL. (Sorry, I still can’t get over it. My bargain addict side fainted away in shock.)
Weekend plans: Set up my new phone when it arrives. Argue more with my new printer. And figure out why bloody Windows 8 seems to have contemptuous disdain for both my new and old electronics. Call someone for lots and lots of help, and attempt not to throw anything out the window in sheer rage.
Favorite winter accessory?: BOOTS!! What colour do you want your rain boots in? Traditional or in a fun colour?
I originally wanted them in “Merlot,” but go figure, that shade sold out, so I ended up opting to get black. I figure black is the safe bet, and if I REALLY like them, then maybe another color later on!
Good luck wrestling with Windows 8/the printer!
I *may* be able to help with Windows 8? Possibly? I can’t swear to it, but I’ve been using it for a while now and I *do* work for the Evil Empire…
OK, I have to say I made a snarly face when I saw you wanted rain boots for the winter. It was -11 when I left for work this morning…
Hauled: I had some certificates and such to make use of, so I ended up catching up on a few things that I’d been meaning to get for a while: Nars Sin, Hourglass Suede and Bobbi Brown Naked Plum. Oh, and a Mac 150 brush. Jeesh. When I list it all out it seems like a lot, but I swear it feels like I’ve been good this week!
Weekend plans: The hub and I are planning on going for brunch somewhere to watch the British Premiere League tomorrow… Unfortunately, our teams are facing off this weekend, so we’re forced to take different sides. And I also have much swatching to catch up on.
Favourite winter accessory: HATS!!! I adore hats, especially since I can’t be bothered doing anything with my hair. Winter just gives me an excuse to wear them.
Have a lovely weekend Christine and give Mellan a hug from your fans in the frozen north!
Brrrr! I can’t even imagine -11!
If you can count everything on two hands, you’ve totally been good this week!
Haul: nada
Weekend plans: Studying for final exams
Favorite winter accessory?: Fuzzy gloves!
Good luck on your exams, Cat!
Haul: I got my Fyrinnae order today! So excited to crack them open. Almay mascara and Lashblast, just needed basic mascaras.
Weekend plans: The in-laws bought a new income property so tomorrow is demo day for the remodel!
Favourite winter accessory: Scarves and Candy cane striped mittens my mom made – well any mitts my mom makes for me. They fit so well and I can double them up! I wear mitts from November to April. (I live in canada near lots of water and it gets REALLY cold)
How cute must be those mittens!!
Haul: 3 Sinful Colors polishes: Super Star, Daddy’s Girl (*hate* the name), & Winter Wonder.
Plans: Hit the mall & Toys R Us; I’m not looking forward to it, but I have to try to find furniture for the Fisher Price dollhouse we ordered (why it doesn’t *include* furniture, I don’t know-doi they really expect kids to ply with an empty dollhouse?), and of course, the annual Santa pic. Of course, I’ll have to stop by Ulta, Sephora, & Macy’s…
Winter Accessory: BOOTS!!! I *love* boots, but living in SoCal really puts limits on when I can wear them…
Who all do you get in the annual Santa pic?
Haul: BareMinerals Ready Luminizer in The Love Affair (thanks to your blog post on The Shining Moment, which I would have preferred but they don’t carry that shade in my Sephora), Frye boots
Weekend plans: Working, relaxing, and eating.
Favorite winter accessory?: Boots. And scarves. And hats.
How are you liking The Love Affair? I think that one is still pretty 🙂
I’m liking it a lot! Not too overwhelming but still a nice glow 🙂
I love Mellan photos!!
Haul – 4 Revlon Lip Butters! They were buy one get one at Priceline 😀 I bought Sweet Tart, Berry Smoothie, Sugar Plum and Cotton Candy. I LOVE them for keeping my lips hydrated at work.
Weekend plans – work party on Sunday! We’re having it at the Aquarium and I’m so excited!
Favourite winter accessory – well it’s summer here in Australia, but in winter I love the first day I can wear boots again.
Oooh, BOGO is awesome!
Mellan is just adorable! Doesn’t he destroy stuffed toys in minutes? My golden retriever can’t have a fluffy toys without making it look like a massacre in the house.
I hauled about 6 perfumes from a warehouse sale, so excited! Bvlgari omnia amytheste, Burberry brit sheer, Gucci flora & envy me, D&G rose the one, and Chloe. I’m set for life, haha.
Not minutes, usually! There are a few where the seams break apart fairly quickly, but for the most part, they hang around for awhile. He likes to play with them, but he doesn’t aim to tear them apart. I know some dogs methodically work to destroy them.
Mellan communicates thru his eyes….”Hey, this is mine. Dont touch.” You can almost see his soul thru his eyes.
Awww! 🙂
Lorac Pro Palette for my sister and one for myself. I think I’m covered for shadows for a long time now. Most of my collection is eyeshadows. Lol.
Weekend Plans: Work and a memorial dinner for my aunt.
Favorite Winter Accessory: Winter hats and caps. Love any kind of hat really.
LOL! The Pro palette is tempting!
Haul: other than cyber monday…I got Naked Basics and UD mystery travel bag. It is being shipped with a deluxe sample of a new product. So I am curious what the new product will be.
Weekend plans: Movies
Favorite winter accessory?: Boots. I have Ralph Lauren boots from last year, but I want something new.
I can’t wait to see what’s in those bags!
Such a cute pic! My dog has the same toy; she loves it too, but she’s had it for about a year now and she finally ripped open the top and the stuffing came out. I have to remember where I bought it, haha…
A year is a pretty long time for most dogs! I grabbed the first one from Petsmart in-store, but I bought this particular one online at Amazon.
Petsmart, eh? I might have to see if I can find on of these as a Christmas present for my fur baby. My dog’s favorite toy is this giant stuffed dog; it’s the only one he hasn’t lost or shredded.
Haul: I finally got around to purchasing a few items from the Dior holiday collection! I’ve been lusting over them ever since I saw the preview! I got the Diorific lipstick in Diva, the nail polish in Diva and the Diorshow liner in Gold. I also picked up Zen Rose, Dare You, Unlimited and a bottle of brush cleanser from MAC. I’ve heard good things about the brush cleanser, I hope it lives up to the hype!
Weekend plans: Studying and relaxing!
Favorite winter accessory: Definitely scarves! I love their versatility and they can really jazz up an outfit.
Great picks from Dior’s launch!
Haul: I only got a new daycream, because I was almost out of it. I’m on a tight budget till I find a new job, so it’s just drooling on this site for now lol.
Weekend plans: Studying, unfortunetly (exams in two weeks), super boring subjects, hopefully I can get it in my head.
Fav winter accessory: Scarves, gloves, hats and everything else to keep me warm! I hate the cold haha.
Window shopping is still fun! 🙂
Good luck on your exams, Iris!
Thank you!! and luckily I love window shopping, so your site is perfect for that! 😀
Haul : 2 makeup brushes on clearance
Plans : just chilling then church /work tomorrow
favorite winter accessory : scarves and tights
Do you have a fave brand for tights?
Haul – xmas gifts too! And i picked up a new make up bag and the soap and glory glossed for words kit for me. Nearly bought too faced’s shadow bon bons but I changed my mind – it will probably be picked up during post xmas sales!
Plans – it was the 4 year anniversary for me and the bf, so we just got back from an overnight trip. Tomorrow will be relaxing and recovering from all the walking. And spending way too much time with my new camera.
Favourite inter accessory – EARMUFFS. Mostly because of practical things – being from a cold, northern city, I can handle cold – but if my ears get cold… Brrr, yikes! But earnuffs are really cute too.
Earmuffs!! A part of me is jealous you live where it’s cold enough to wear them. Then the other part of me hates being cold, period!
If you ever have to come to the UK around this time of year, you will have *plenty* of reasons to wear them. Horrid wet, windy winters are our specialty.
I love being cold. I am terrible in any form of heat. At least with the cold I can just wrap myself in a lot of wool.
Oh, Mellan is soo cute, may I save this photo of Mellan and set it as my desktop’s background? ^^
Haul: Essie nail color in turquoise & caios, Essie holiday kit, some handmade jewelry stuffs from Etsy
Weekend plan: enjoy everyday, working and shopping
Favourite winter accessory : scarves
I love Turquoise & Caios!
Of course, Monnie! 🙂
Awwwwwww Mellan looks utterly adorable
Thanks, Azaza!
My dog has the same toy. He loves it. We named it hedhog 🙂
How cute!
omg! I know a shih tzu that has the same hedgehog toy (smaller version, I think, lol) He loves it and guards it like it’s his baby/prisoner
Haul: hm….nothing notable…
Weekend plans: Monkeeeeeeeeeeees! (I went to see the Monkees at the Beacon in NYC. It was great!)
Favorite winter accessory?: I have to say gloves bc I turn to them more than coats for warmth. I have a strange aversion to coats, lol.
