February Favorites

I know.. I know.. its late :P But I still want to share with you guys my February Favorites ♥

1. L'egere BB cream - it's not a secret on why I love this foundation. It hides all of my imperfections! You all know how my skin look like right? If not, here's a recap: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2010/02/beauty-review-iqqu-acne-serum-and.html

But because of L'egere, you don't see those ugly zits in the pictures :P

2. Korres Body Butter in Guava - I really love this Korres body butter! My skin feels so soft whenever I use it. I want mooooore :P

A closer look of #3, #4, #5, and #6 products

3. Buxom Lash Mascara - I love this mascara! The wand is so different from other mascaras that I've used. I need to review this soon :)

4. Dior Concealer - I like this concealer. I just use this for redness around my nose area.

5. Sephora Lip stain - I love the berry stain look. Really just awakens my whole face when I use this lip stain alone. :)

6. Benefit You Rebel Moisturizer - I use this whenever I feel like using nothing on my face. You know,  the "no make up" look. When I go to work, I don't like using a foundation, so I use this moisturizer. At least it has an SPF to protect me from the sun :)

7. M●A●C Hello Kitty Lip Conditioner - I love this lip conditioner. I use this whenever I feel like using "nude-y pink".

8. Nars Blush in Angelika - Thanks to Tammy who gave me this blush. It's just the perfect blush for me :)

That's all for my February Favorites ♥♥♥

My Face Routine and Smokey Eyes

So I did a little tutorial on Youtube. Its been ages since I did a tutorial there.. Haha. I don't do much videos. Only when I feel like it. Lol. I have like 2000+ subscribers and i love them all. I do answer almost all of the comments I get. I think Blogger world is more friendly than the YT world. I love Blogger world more.. heehee!

So I did my FACE ROUTINE which is very simple. The products I use regularly are the following:

• Make Up Forever HD Primer in Blue [i will review this more later on]
• L'egere Multi White BB Cream [click to see my review about it]
• Make Up Forever Lift Concealer [click to see my review about it]
• Dame Edna Powder

My face looked white after I put all the products. This is because  I have sallow skin tone [yellowish skin tone]. But if you look more closely, my face and neck matched better after I put the BB Cream. It does oxidize and later on, it will look darker than my neck. lol.

The other two videos are just a tutorial of a Simple Smokey Eyes Look. The lighting totally suck, or maybe the settings on my MACbook. lol. You can't even see the color. Haha! Here's the things I used:

• UDPP as a primer
• MAC Nylon e/s all over the lid
• MAC Fertile e/s on the crease
• MAC Amber Lights e/s as a highlight
• Blacktrack Fluidline
• Loreal Mascara
• Darkness Lashes - Duo Lash Adhesive
• Vanilla Pressed Pigment to add shimmer
• Sunbasque Blush
• Money Honey Dazzleglass

Anyway, I ordered some jewelries from Steph -

Anyway, a recap of my week:

LOVE FROM JES!

Jessica aka Jesmakeup was very kind enough to send me something from the mail. Oh girl, you know you made my week? I was so happy when I got your envelope. You are too sweet :)

I joined her contest and she sent me this. She's such a sweetie. :) Now I have some kawaii bandage to use when I get a boo-boo.. I also love the Hello Kitty eyeshadow dusts. So cuteee! Well, I love anything Hello Kitty! hahah!

Thank You so much girl for this :) You just made my entire week happy :) *hugs* Hope to meet you real soon, and if you move here where I live, you know we'll always gonna hang out right? :)

WHICH ONE??

Ok, so I was looking through my old pictures, and found some pictures of me with my "light brown" hair. I kinda miss my old hair color and think that it looks better than my black hair. What do you guys think?




In this picture, these are the things I'm wearing:
FACE:
MUFE HD Primer in Blue (my favorite primer ever!!!)
L'egere BB Cream
Sunbasque Blush
Boi-ing Concealer

EYES:
BE Primer (one of the best I've tried since UDPP)
Expensive Pink e/s (lightly on the lid)
Carbon e/s (just to add some definition)

LIPS:
Dior 457 (one of my fave lipgloss..so moisturizing and not drying!)

HAUL...S!

Oh, and I finally visited Melody's at Alhambra. I liked it there because they sell MAC, Smashbox, Stila, Dior and much more for discounted price. They even have Hello Kitty!! Popster for $11!!! Yup, I got 4 things only. CCO is still cheaper I tell ya but its worth checking this place out :)

MELODY'S

11 S 2nd St
Alhambra, CA

91801-3714

I got this MSF in Blonde. I've been wanting it for so long but coudn't justify myself to buy an MSF worth $28! But when i saw this one, I know I had to get it.. :) I'm getting addicted to MSF as a blush :)

MAC PaintPot in Blackground - I want this because lots of blogger gals use this as their base and makes their e/s stands out more :)

To add to my growing collection of MAC e/s: Gesso

I'm feeling kinda spring so I had to get this: Swimming

I also went to MAC Store with no intention of buying. The Sugarsweet Collection is nice but I'm saving my money for the A Rose Romance Collection. I love tinted blush and liptint so I might get that from that Collection.
I went to the MAC store just to look, then the MUA there tried this on me (LOVE ROCK) and oh I fell in love with it. When I 1st swatched it on my hand, it was shimmery and DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL! But I guess when applied to your face is different. :) So Adrian let me have it.

LUSH at Glendale Galleria. Ohhh the smell was strong, but when I tried their hand treatment, I was hooked! Tried the Angels on Bare Skin and I gave in and bought $5 something worth. I tried it last night, woke up to a smooth skin! Love it! :)

Then bought some China Glaze Nail Polish in 5th Avenue (oh so nice!) and Treat me like a queen (red one) I am getting hooked on nail polish! I have 5 China Glaze so far and no OPI. I have yet to try OPI but they're very expensive! Haha!

Well, this is it.. hope you guys enjoy the weekend! Work tomorrow but its my "Friday" so I don't really care.. :) I also bought my IMATS tickets so hopefully I'll see you guys there! :D

Hello Kitty Overdose and Some

***PICTURE HEAVY***

Hi ladies! Haven't update for few days. I was too tired from work and school. I had to study for 2 quizzes and thank God I got an "A" on both quizzes. So far so good. :)

I went to Macys the other day to get more Hello Kitty products. LOL! I know, I'm insane!! Haha! I really want the Brush set for the holder but I know its not worth it coz I don't even want the brushes. So I decided not to get it. I wish I can find a brush holder like that. But I made/designed my old brush set and hello-kitty-fied it. Haha! I'm possessed little kitty.

Okay so for my Hello Kitty Haul, I picked up some duplicates like the 2 palettes so I can sell it later. Haha. So I won't touch that. :) Then I decided to get more lippies Just because.. :p

Too Dolly Palette

Lucky Tom Palette

Mimmy Lipglass - Ohhh I love this one! Its very "corally" :p

Fast Friends Lipglass- I got this just because it looks good when I tried it. :P I dunno if I will keep it or I'll sell it along with the palettes.

Big Bow Lipstick - I love how its so bright but it looks so nice when applied on the lips :)

Strayin Lipstick - Now this is my favorite. In person, it screams hot pink but when applied to lips, it gives you that pussy pink look. lol jk! But it looks really nice :p

Then the next day (which was yesterday), I went back to Macys to do some Back2MAC. I have 12 empty MAC containers and you know Macys only gives out free lipstick. I so wanted to go to South Coasts so I can get a lipgloss or an eyeshadow but its too far :( So the MUA told me to choose 2 lipstick, and here's what I got:

Shy Girl Lipstick - I decided to get this. Its so pretty! I'm in love :p Its so creamy and not drying. My pet peeve? No box!! AhhH! She took the box because she said they need it for inventory or something. :(

Fashion Mews Lipstick - I was gonna get the "Lavender whip" but decided to get this instead. Its not really purple on the lips. Its like a light pinkish with blue undertone to it. I love it when I tried it on. I actually got the last tube at that Macys. So I'm pretty stoked! :) Again, she didn't give me the pretty box. I'm sad.. Can I have your hello Kitty box? haha!

Then I went to Ontario Mills and got myself this for my car. Yay for Hello Kitty CD Visor. :) I saw the shirt below at Wet Seal for $22. I thought it was too cute but i wasn't able to get it. Too expensive for just a t-shirt. :/


I also did a video of my "look" yesterday but wasn't able to edit it. I'm too lazy with the editing part and I hate how I don't know how to fix the setting on my MACbook. I will post some FOTDs anyway. :p Please ignore my zits. LOL! Its "RED" who to blame. Oh, I used my Palette from the Red She Said Collection which I got at the CCO.

• L'egere BB Cream

EYES:

• MAC "Soft Ochre" Paint Pot as a primer

Also, I tried doing my entry for M's contest. I tried copying Blair Waldorf and I sucked so bad, I think I will re-do my entry. :/ Plus I don't have that much headbands. I wish I have a lot to choose for this look :( What do you guys think? Should I re-do it? :/

Whew. Long post! I hope you didn't get tired of reading this entry. :p I don't have work today so I decided to clean the house. I got so tired. After resting, I decided to paint my nails with my 2 new China Glaze Nail polishes.

I painted my nails with "NAKED" - a cute pink nail polish. Kinda like the the MAC HK "Something about Pink" except this polish is only $3.99. :p

Then I decided to do french tips and used "THISTLE" - Kinda like MAC HK "On the Prowl" Nail polish :)

And super Thanks to Tia who taught me how to do PrtSc :) Poupee Girls all together :)

Diana, Me, and Tia :)

That's it for today. Whew! :) I leave you guys with a photo which Adrian took while we were driving on the way to the mall. Soooo romantic :)
