Random Updates: 4

Currently here at Daly City.. waiting for the BIG FIGHT to start. I bet money on it, he (Pacquiao) better win.. lol.

We drove here Friday (3am) then arrive here almost noon because frequent "bathroom" stop overs.. ahaha.. Anyway, the weather here really sucks. Something about the rain makes me gloomy - almost depressed. I stayed indoors.. I have to start reading my school books. I have another big test on Tuesday and I havent even started reading those dreadful chapters yet.

Its freezing outside. We went to the malls and guess what.. I didn't buy ANYTHING. Yeah, not a single eyeshadow or lipstick caught my attention. I dunno.. something has changed. Its probably all the stressful events  that happened or its still happening in my life. *SIGH*

SELF CONTROL

I perfected self control I guess. Whenever I'm around make up/skin care products, I don't get too excited anymore. I used to. I used to buy something that I don't really need but just because I want it, I have to have it. But now, I was able to control myself. Whenever I see something I really really want, I now able to talk myself out of it. I ask myself..

"Do I really need it now?"

"Should I save my money for something that I really  need?"

"How many of these shades I own?"

from there.. I was able to put that thing back on the shelves. Sure regret comes after, but usually disappear after a few minutes. :)

Anyway, just giving you guys some update. Talk to you guys later :)

Questions Answered Part 2

Q and A

Q: Why do you still have to use disposable lip brushes when you are the only person using your lip products?

A: I work in the  medical field and often times I catch bacteria and whatnot that makes me sick.. I don't like to be putting my bacteria and virus on my lip products so I just use a disposable brush, so when I'm feeling better, I'm confident that there's no virus on all of my lip products. :p

Q: Where did you get those disposable brushes? I want one.

A: Sephora - just ask  the MUA if you can have some. or at MAC - if they are nice enough :P

Q: Did you get anything from the Rose Romance Collection?

A: No.. lol! I just want the Rose BP and when I tried them on earlier, they were too sheer for my taste so I skipped it. :) Plus I need gas money for San Francisco!

Q: When will you be at the Bay?

A: I will be there May 1st til May 3rd. Hopefully I'd get to meet you lovely ladies there! :D

Q: Will you swap again?

A: I will.. but only to my trusted friends here on blogger :) Its actually stressful for me right now to swap. I need money more than anything right now..

Q: Where did you get your Pink Storage for your make up?

A: I got it at Target. I noticed they don't have the pink one no more. I saw green and blue ones though :)

Q: Where do you work and what do you do?

A: I work in a State Hospital near where I live. I am a Psychiatric Technician. I work with criminally insane individuals. I work very closely with Psychiatrist and Psychologist. I give them report. I counsel people. I am good at counseling others - not to myself. ahaha!

That's it for now.. I hope I satisfied some curiosities :) I don't mind the questions.. :)

Oh yes, I skipped the Rose Romance Collection. I'm glad it was too sheer for my taste or else I would have been tempted like a vampire to a fresh blood. :p I need money  because we will be driving to San Francisco this weekend and gas + food + hotel cost so much! Pacquiao better win or I'll lose $30! hahaha!

I also cooked today! Surprised? Even Adrian was! I cooked some Chicken Soup (Tinola). Its chicken and chayote (sayote) then I put some spinach in it and chicken broth to add some flavors. :)

I had been craving for green mangoes since Kasumi and I talked on twitter so my co-worker got me some.. YUMMY! Its so sour but I love it :)

That's it for now.. I hope you guys a beautiful Monday tomorrow. :) G'nite!

Sephora Mini Haul

My Sephora Order has come! YAY! So quick!! :) I was excited :D Adrian did not let me know right away that my package has arrived. He surprised me when I got off from work. :p

KORRES WILD ROSE/BRIGHTENING MASK

I wanted a mask that will brighten up my skin so I bought this.. will review it after couple of use. I'm so excited to try this :) I was just disappointed about how small the jar is :( For the price, I was actually expecting a bigger jar.

Dior Addict Lipcolor in Fantasy Pink

Its a really cute pink! I love it.. although its very sheer

That's it.. I did not spend a penny because I used my %50 giftcard. I'm so happy.. But I still want to go to the mall because of the A Rose Romance Collection. Are you guys getting anything from that collection? I want the rose MSF. Well, I need to rest now.. :) G'nite!

The Good and the Bad!

MONDAY is such a lazy day for me.. 3 months, I'd be off every Mondays which is good but waking up to Tuesday is not so good..

Adrian and I went to the Post office to pick up who know who's returned package.. and to my surprise, I saw another package.. Adrian was like, "Who did it come from?" I know right away who.. heehee!

XMAYAARIX

Diana aka xmayaarix DM'd me one day and said she just saw something that reminds me of her.. and she asked for my mailing address.. I thought to myself, "awww..what a sweetheart of her to give me something" and this came in the mail today...

Read her sweet note.. she got a pretty handwriting.. :) She said she doesn't know what's inside the box she gave me.. its gonna be a surprise for both of us.. heehee!

So this is the box she was talking about in her mail.. soooo what's inside the box??

TIARAAAANNNN!!! Say Hello to Bricky the Hello Kitty.. ahahaha! :) I already named her. :p Isn't she's so pretty? :) She's gonna be on top of my make up drawers!! YAY! :)

She also gave me a sample of Korres Wild Flower moisturizer and I just ordered the Wild Flower Mask from Sephora so I cannot wait to try this :)

If Bricky can talk, she's gonna be all over this yummy treat! ahahah! :p

and lastly, she just fulfilled one of my wishes.. OMG she gave me the MAC YOGURT e/s I've been lemming for!!! I know people are saying, "Oh but you got that from your HK palette already" but but.. I don't wanna touch that :p

I cannot believe how nice and generous Diana is.. She is just too nice!!! OMG I feel so spoiled and loved... <3

Diana, Thank you so much!! You made my entire week happy! :) I will get you one of these days.. heehee :) Thank You again girl for the lovely surprise!!! :D

MESSY SWAP!

Anyway, that made my day.. Oh, I received the returned package from Annie aka xoannie.blogspot.com (You all knew her from the Swap Inquiries entry)..

So the Laneige Strawberry Peel is still pretty full.. I am willing to sell/swap that for $18 shipped! Any takers??

I also sanitized the Jumbo Pencils and willing to sell all 6 of them for $10 shipped!

So I yanked out a picture of the things I gave her my from her blog and these are the things.. You'll see that some items are missing..

Well, anyway, I don't care anymore!

I said what I said.. and I won't take it back. She said she's sorry so be it. But a trust once its broken, will be hard to earn! She made LOTS of mistakes, lied to us/me and gave me the wrong things. 

ANONYMOUS!

Yes you without a name or face! Stop commenting and putting your 2 cents in, like you said, some people are mad and that they are not even involved in this mess, so why are you including yourself?

And are you that stupid saying that you HAD to post as ANONYMOUS because you don't have a blog?? That's Bullshit!! If you look closely on the bottom of each comment box, there is this thing called Name/Url. That means you can actually put your name and or your email address. 

Show your face! You have the guts to call people BITCH and stuff but you don't have the balls to show your face or even publish your name? HAH! What a loser!

And if these ANON posters are annie herself, we shall see!! I will be looking for the IP addresses of these ANON posters and see/compare if they're the same person. Yup, technology.. :) Proud to say that I grew up with people who knew computers really well. :) So if I were you, and you don't want to be recognized, better delete your comment! HAH!

SHOPPING!

Oh, No new shipment at the CCO.. They told me they have new shipments every end of the month so I'll be going there next weekend. I might get the A Rose Romance Collection this weekend instead on Thursday. I have class + work on Thursday so there's no way I'd be able to go to the mall that day :(

Here's what I got..

Got them from Guess.. Just for everyday since its been hot outside. I don't really like Summer because of the sun. I can say that I'm not a "SUN person" I'm more like a "RAIN person".. X( I grew up near the beach and hated it. ahaha!

Then I got some shorts there. Ugh my stomach looks so fat! I need to work out soon.. :(

I'm wearing California Dreamin on my lips.. Such a pretty color <3

Lastly, I'm selling this Blackground Paintpot for $13.50 (without shipping) if anyone is interested! BNIB!!!

See ya guys later! I have school tomorrow. :(

What's Inside Those Drawers?

Fine.. after lots of convincing, I will now reveal what's inside these drawers. I'll just show you.. I won't go detail by detail unless your request it.. :)

You will be surprised on HOW LESS my make up is.. yup.. it seems like I do have a lot of make up but often times I give them to my mom or sell them.. I don't have make up that is more than 2 years old. Some of these make up are a year old and majority of them are less than a year. Some of my eyeshadows are a year and 1 month old.

Now I know some people say that they expire whatsoever. I don't care! I will keep on using them unless I break out! Its my money I wasted. Hehe..

I do keep them clean though. I wipe them with 70% alcohol - like after I use each lipstick, I try to sanitize them. I got some disposable lip brushes and sponge applicators to keep my  make up clean. I keep most things in their boxes away from the dirt. Yup, I take care of them.. :)

VANITY!

Here is my vanity.. Its actually a computer table.. ahaha! yup, I haven't bought the dresser that I saw at this furniture store.. Its just too darn expensive! X(

You'll see that I just cleaned my brushes and waiting for them to dry..

You'll see a quarter somewhere there.. :p

You'll see my ugly lamp that I've been thinking of replacing..

You'll see the alcohol that I use to clean my make up

You'll see my macbook in the mirror :P

and some sticky notes underneath..

Oh yeah, the remote for the dvd player X)

and one eyeshadow pan that I pressed :P

LIPPIE ADDICT!

You've seen my lippie collection.. Not too much.. Not too little. Just right in my opinion..

I got this at The Block. I have the other trio and I'm so happy to get this! Its also the last one so I felt lucky! ahaha! I love the colors! Its so "spring-ish"

"Warming Trend" eyeshadow is also very pretty..
