DSK earrings, Pigments and More!

Hello once again! ^_^ Long time no comments.. I haven't been really on blogger. Like I said, I wasn't feeling very well (emotionally) so I took some time off of blogger. I've been feeling a little sad lately.. Maybe its the holidays? Studies show that if you have been feeling depressed, it will be more likely to get worse during the holiday (i.e. missing some families, financial stuff, or broken hearted). So lately, I've been re-assessing my life and just trying to focus what's important and what not. Think Positive as what they say so I'm trying.. ^_^


So, I bought some stuff.. retail therapy does help you know? :P Just little stuff to make a girl smile :D

I ordered the Light Sapphire Sterling Threads and my parcel came with a goody bag full of treats. Yay ^_^ Earrings look so beautiful.. i love it! I love all the earrings I ordered through her :)

I also bought an O.P.I . nail polish called "Holiday Glow" It's just too pretty don't you think?  I want all the O.P.I. polishes from the Holiday 2009 collection, especially the Merry Midnight, Ginger Bells, Dear Santa, and Shim-Merry Chic. I want to buy them all!!! ^_^

I also bought some pigments for the holidays. They are just too pretty! Shimmery.. Ooohh I'm loving everything that shimmers. Must be the holiday effect. º_^ I'm excited to use them..

Melon, Gold dusk, Gold Mode

Gold Stroke, Reflects Antique Gold

Also my skin needs some TLC so I decided to buy this. It claims that it cleans clogged pores. We'll see :) Reviews later.. I love the smell!! It smells so sweet, truly a grape smell :D

Then we went to an oriental store and I saw this powder. I used to use this before back in the Philippines. I used to love Ponds products especially their cold cream. :) Now this powder claims that it helps with acne. We'll see. Reviews later.

I also saw this bar soap and it claims that it will whiten any dark spots so I'm hoping it will lighten my acne scars ^_^ Reviews later also.

Whew! That's a lot of pictures and info for the day.. I have more stuff to post.. I'll do it soon.. The next post would be about some boots that I got.. hahaha.. Happy Holidays ^_^

REVLON RUNWAY COLLECTION NAILS

3rd day of using the Revlon Artificial Nails. Still looks nice! I really love how short it is. Shorter than I sport my real nails. Haha :] You won't regret buying it. Saves you lots of money than going to an expensive salon!

Tiny Haul + Make Up Organization

Time flies so fast.. It's my "Monday" again, and I'm sick.. As much as possible, I don't want to call off so I still went to work even though I felt like dying there! My co-workers are super nice because they did almost all of my work. All I did was paper works and a little bit of patient care. =) I still feel tired. NPO for the next 24 hours because I ate something that my stomach can't take, and I have been throwing up for the last 24 hours. I feel so weak!

On the lighter note, I just placed an order from Sephora online. =) Just some "necessities" lol. After that, I'm done! No wait, I still want some more MAC brushes and that Tinted Moisturizer from MAC! After that, then I'm done.. lol! I need to shop for Fall clothes. Trench coats. Jackets. Boots. Ohhh Gotta love the Fall! =)

So okay, last Thursday, I was craving for some Shaved Ice so we went to Guppy's! Can never get tired of Shaved Ice. Taste so yummy! =)

Then Cha [sis in law], Niegel [bro in law], Adrian and I went to Skylark. I saw this colors so I went ahead and picked those out! I have 10 O.P.I.'s now. =) I'm so happy!!!

Bought this at the Ontario CCO the last time I was there.. Its called the Dame Edna Coral Polyp. Its pretty!! :)

I saw this at Walmart and I thought it will be good for my palettes. I have 5 MAC palettes and i fit perfectly! =) That means I need to stop at 5 or else I will need to buy a new one! HaHa!

I re-designed my Sephora inspired brush holder and decorated it with just a simple Hello Kitty paper. I can remove the paper anytime so if/when I get bored, I'll just take it out and put a new one! :P

Me..looking oh so tired! Oh yeah I'm using the Lip tar NSFW <-- that does mean NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK because its too RED? lol! I actually wiped it out with a napkin to give me just a little bit of pinky lips! :P

Well, anyway, this is just a small update.. Will update again next time.. I need to do some Beauty Reviews so Stay tuned for that! :) See ya!

Quick Update & My growing MAC Brush Collection

Hi ladies and gents.. I have been M.I.A.! I know.. I have been working 16 hours for 3 days straight and today, I only worked 7 hours, so I was able to update. It's my "Friday" tomorrow and I'm just too excited to sleep! haha.. I missed you guys and I miss reading the blog entries. I will start reading tomorrow. As for now, I need to doze off! But before that.. I'll just show you guys what I did/bought this week.

So I got 3 brushes! I'm too excited to complete my MAC Brush Collection! I remember that my 1st MAC brush is the 217. Of course, I already had my mini brush set before but 217 is one of my very 1st full size brush.

Question:

1. How do you guys maintain the names/numbers on the handle so it won't come off?
2. What do you guys use to clean your mac brushes?

Anyway, these are the 3 brushes i got recently.. I am so excited for these 3 brushes! I've been lemming for the MAC 150 and 109 for so long, I finally got it!! Wooohooo! :) and yeah I got the 131 just because its LE. haha. I love the brush so far. :)

..and now to my growing MAC brush collection!! Yay! :) I'm so happy.. I spot clean them already and they look so beautiful.. I'm sure you guys know the names/numbers by heart. I still forget the numbers.. ahahah! I want MORE!!! Next one I'm going to buy is the 188, 219 and possibly 226. :) I dunno where to store them yet. The brush roll that I bought from Yumeko is nice but the MAC 15o does not fit in there. Too tall. :( Where do you guys keep yours aside from the Sephora brush holder thingy?

I also bought the MAC brush cleaner.. this is my 2nd bottle! Yay! :)

My attempt to do pink french tips :P My nails is so brittle, they break easily. People asked me, "are those acrylics?" lol. NO!!!! It's my real nails silly!

Then May of http://maysbeautyobession.blogspot.com/ sent me a surprise love pack! She is just too sneaky!! I love her! She's the one who gave me my 1st Whitia Mask & now I'm hooked! Must buy at the Sasa.com soon! :P I love the HK origami she sent me. So cute! :) Thanks May for the lovely surprise! :)

Then Adrian and I went to San Clemente to get some RAINBOW flip flops. Ria told me that if you live in Cali, you must own at least one pair for Rainbow! :P Love that girl! :)

I got the TAN color and Adrian got the blue black one :) Definitely going back for more.. It's just so comfy! I love it :)

Then got this at Charlotte Russe :)

I can't say I'm done shopping because retail therapy does wonders.. lol. But I gotta stop.. working 16 hours make me realize I need to value my money and SAVE!!! Still lemming for some products (Refer to my wishlist) *sigh*

OK gotta rest now! TA-TA!

Guppy's + Make Up/Skincare Haul

My day went so well today! Adrian and I first wanted to go to Brea but we decided to go to Guppy's Tea House first to have some snacks. Let me tell you, if you are in Cerritos area, you gotta go to Guppy's and try their Brick toast! Its so Yummy!

We added Strawberry and Mangoes

It's so good! We should have ordered some shaved ice as well!

At Guppy's

Btw, I'm wearing the Pink Fish Lip Conditioner that Edna/abcgrrrl.com gave me. I really love it! When I 1st tried it on [way back February when it 1st came out], I didn't like the way it looks on me, but I'm loving it now! The color of my eyes seems so different in the 2nd picture.

Then after that, I went to visit the Amore Store because I wanna see if they have new stuff. I didn't see anything I want but I got invited to their event which they will give us FREE make up, but I can't make it because I'll be meeting some blogger babes on Thursday at Santee Alley and I cannot wait! I bought some lashes though.. as I mentioned on my other post, they are going to discontinue selling these kinds of lashes. I don't know why but I must get some before they're gone! I want some Shishem also :( I only have 1 shishem.. They're too expensive if I buy them online..

We also went to Sephora because I am looking for a new Tinted Moisturizer and Mascara but instead I walked out of the store with a Sunscreen! ahaha! I need a strong sunscreen since I am always under the sun and you know what sun can do to you! Skin aging, discolorations + sun spots! Nobody wants that! So I got this Clinique SPF 50! Its not oily, its not strong scented, its perfect! It glides on smoothly!

Brea Mall! We went to MAC of course! Adrian was so kind to let me go overboard with my purchases. He know how I want to complete my MAC brush collection so he let me get some + other stuff! :P

• MAC Empty Palette
• Smooth Merge MSF
• Grape Vine e/s
• 129 brush
• 217 brush
• 168 brush
• 190 brush
• 272 brush

I am so mad! *They don't have the MAC 109 and MAC 150 brushes! Those brushes are the ones I want!!! X( Well here's my wishlist for the remaining brushes I want:

• 188 brush
• 226 brush
• 242 brush
• 219 brush
• 263 brush
• 109 brush*
• 150 brush*
• 227 brush

That's it for our day. Hope you will have a good weekend! As for me, I am working all weekend! Possibly 16 hours again! I'm not complaining.. as long as they would pay me! haha! Tomorrow is my "Monday" :( have fun you guys!!!

Oh I forgot to mentioned that My family + Adrian and I went out yesterday to watch a movie. We decided to watch the ICE AGE 3D and HANG OVER! I love the Hang Over! Its so freaking hilarious! Makes me wanna go to Vegas!!! I'm so sad I can't go with Pink to Vegas!!! X(
