Revlon Photoready & Mac Cremeblend Blush!

As mentioned in my previous post, I spent my tax return money in a blink. And I got the new Revlon Photoready Foundation in Rich Ginger and MAC Cremeblend Blush in Joie-de-vivre and So Sweet So Easy from the Lillyland Collection. The So Sweet So Easy does not come up on my cheeks or lips so I'm returning it. The other two I'm keeping. Here is what I look like with the new foundation and the blush in Joie-de-vivre:




I'm still on the fence for the foundation because it has a lot of shimmer in it. Think Twilight vampire shine... -.- It looks like my face is really oily in the picture but thats the shimmer I was talking about. You can even kind of see a few pieces of glitter... blah... I like a bit of glow in my skin but not THAT much. But the coverage and colour match is amazing! And this is sooo hard to find here in Canada. I finally found it in Walmart and they had barely any left. I wasn't so sure about the colour but Mike said it looks like it should be okay and wooow he was right! Also if it's a foundation made for photos, i dont understand why it gives off that white face look on pictures. Maybe it's the ELF booster I put on top but I don't know :S I rubbed off a bit of the booster and put more MAC MSF in Medium Deep and I think it helped. Another thing is that I hope I don't have any skin reactions to it!!

And omggg I LOVE this blush. It gives such a nice natural glow. And I even have it on my lips with MAC lipglass in Silly Girl on top. I heartssssss it! I totally recommend you get this before it's gone because it is limited edition. I hope they keep this formula because basically everyone so far loves it (from what I've read).

Oh I also bought a pack of 10 hangers at Zellers for $4 with whatever is left on the gift card Mattie and Kristine gave me. xD

Pmall next wednesday

Anyone wants to tag along let me knooooooow :)

oh hai tax return... goodbye tax return

LOL Yeah so I got that tax thing and clearly I spent it in under one day. I mean come on, those Mac cremeblend blushes were calling me!!! xD

Wow I'm so late...

I just found out that Tila's fiance Casey Johnson died...
And now there's this whole drama with her and Casey's family and Perez Hilton. Have some respect for the dead geez...

Fresh baked cookies!

I love the smell!
And I love baking too ♥
It's sooo chewy inside and perfect crunchy outside :)

im hungry

And guess what?
I don't have a break until 12! :(

Changes!

I've been so SICK of my room and I've been wanting a clothes rack for the longest time. I was at loblaws with my family today and BAM I saw one. It was the last one and I was expecting it to be about 20-30$ and really I'm broke so I thought to myself I wouldn't buy it. I checked the price and it was under 4 dollars! OMG I know! I was so happy and of course I bought it. Have you guys ever had that feeling that whatever thing you're wanting to buy is meant to be yours? Maybe that's what a shopaholic tells herself. Hahaha. :) Whatever here's my room now:




I assembled this all by myself :) Is it weird that I like assembling stuff like this? I've assembled basically everything that's in my room: bookcase, study desk, and now this. I am awesome don't lie! :P
PS. Do NOT look under my bed haha. :)

I feel sort of accomplished

I actually finished the 4 exercises due on Tuesday for my Professional Writing class... weird.
Too bad I don't have blank paper to print on FML

This is so sad.... :(

A letter to my dead girlfriend

Date: 2009-10-25, 1:36PM CDT

It has been a rough year darling. The ethereal power of Craig's List will get this message to you I am sure, like in some sort of cheesy 80s movie.

Well back to the last year, you of course died at the beginning of it which put things to a sour start. I spent last night with your mum and dad, we went to that Italian place in Wicker Park, who on the surface seem to be coping. I had everyone get together for my 25th which went well, your ladies are on top form and I think some engagements are brewing. Ellen is turning up the heat on Steve who will soon be forced down to one knee as you predicted.

Last weekend I finally took the step of cleaning out your clothes from the closet, which is very barren now. I invited your friends over to take your what they liked, it was an awkward session. I think they took them more as a favor to me than anything else. Liz cried when we pulled out all of your shoes, Miranda joined in and then Catherine broke down. It was strange to stand in our bedroom surrounded by three crying girls. I made a joke about them crying for joy at the prospect of some free Manolo Blahniks which they didn't seem to find very funny.

A few girls have put the moves on and as you know picking up women is not a forte of mine. It seems the grieving boyfriend seems to be a good angle. Who knew! I went on one date and spent it talking about you, the poor girl. You would have found it quite witty I think. No other dates to report, I am going against your orders to move on for now.

I found one of those hair tie things that somehow managed to squeeze into every crevice in the apartment. It was under the bed. I sat on the floor holding it and cried. Until then I had held everything together but it just all came flooding out.

Every morning when I wake up I forget for a fraction of a second that you are gone and I reach for you. All I ever find is the cold side of the bed. My eyes settle on the picture of us in Paris, on the bedside table, and I am overjoyed that even though the time was brief I loved you and you loved me.

Love,

P.

Sleepyhead

LMFAO most of my text msgs are from Mike telling me to wake up. LOOOL. :)

YO

Someone tell me where I can find a cute, affordable dress for an upcoming debut. Shoes also xD

2 days late post

Belle and Chelle promised me a birthday date on Wednesday. We honestly had no clue what were gonna do until the moment we all got together. We went to go to Japan Buffet near UTM and yummm <3

(lol @ my really dry lips)

After sushi, we picked up Gerene at square one and went to their house to make crepe ("crap"). LOLL we were still kind of full so we didnt make that many. Besides the first one I made looked like crap. I ate it though loool shame! xD

(Cidcris' "fluor" lol... well we found it funny)

(Gerene eating her sushi... "Never order Chicken sushi")
(Us frying the crepes in her garage... FREEZING let me tell you)
(So this was the first one. Whatever it was good and edible :P)

Thai Express

At Square One is FINALLY open eh... It's pretty good! I miss Timmies though :(

Food Inc.

My professor from my Information Studies class showed this to our class. It's a quite interesting documentary and I think everyone should see it. Clearly the food we eat now is different from before and it's not really for the better. Maybe it is better if you're looking at it economically. But if you look at it from a health aspect, you might think twice of what you are putting into your body. If you guys wanna watch it, this site http://www.britannica.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/food-inc.jpg might have it. Check it out when you can... I know y'all are busy with school at the moment.

oh HI TELUS

After my 3 year contract, I don't think I want to stay with you guys anymore... Unless you fire that little bitch I talked to at the Square One dealer store in the Upper level.

Maybe I shouldn't have...

bought those lipsticks. I totally forgot that I have to buy new books for this semester... lol. GREAT.

Lands End

For those of you what that is, it's this brand that's sort of like American Eagle but for older people. It's more popular in the States apparently compared to Canada but since my sales lead is for both my department (kids) and Lands End, she lets me work there once in a while (more often nowadays actually.. -.-). Anyway, I was kind of been eyeing this coat for a while. I've need a new one for a while because my Old Navy one is not warm at all. (N) This is the one I ended up getting:



It`s supposed to be good for -5 to 15 degree Fahrenheit weather. And if you read the extra information, it has this thing where it`s so waterproof that "water beads up and rolls off". LOL I can just picture it in my head literally and I find it funny. It was $74.99USD on the site (with duty charges came up to 99.98USD which is not bad since the currency is 1 to 1.02.) If you buy it in the store, it's 139+tax lawl. Besides, there were no browns left. Anywho, after buying it, I wanted gloves too! And if there's anything I will ever recommend from this brand, it would be this pair of gloves:



Mine is actually pinker I think. The colour I got was called Berry. Anyway, they look thin but they are SUPER warm. I bought a pair of gloves from Bentley because it was pink and looked warm. HELL no it wasn`t warm. And Jasmine hid the other pair so it`s useless now. GR. Oh well. I like how it`s not so big or heavy but it`s still very warm.

If I persuaded you into buying something from Lands End, don't bother ordering online at your house. Go to a Sears store because it would be free shipping to your house :) Better yet, come to me if I'm working there. :) For those of you who actually know me, I'm usually apathetic for Sears products even though I work there. But trust me on the gloves. :)

Cowabunga!

Cowabunga!

LOL this site is amazing! *not spam I swear*

Cherryculture

I just placed an order with about 2 dozen of NYX Round lipsticks and glosses... I hear shipping is super duper slow especially if shipped in places OTHER than States. Let's see how long this will take..... *Impatiently waiting* I wish they sold more NYX here. They have it in the Pharmaplus near my house but the selections are CRAP and the prices are inflated. Awesome isn't it? *sarcasm*

MAC, Urban Decay, Revlon Swatches

Don't y'all love the holidays? December's my favourite and least favourite month of the year. I love it because it's my birthday month and I get twice the presents (usually) because of Christmas/New Year. But it is also the dreadful exam week(s). Too bad it went by fasssssssssssst but I'm not really complaining... Anyway here are some stuff I got that are worth blogging. Everything was a present except the 3 lippies. ♥ Enjoy the swatches and ignore the dryness of my lips (duhh it's winter here in Canada!!) and my blurring photograph skills. And LOL @ some having cotton residue due to the constant wiping of tissue to swatch. :) Oh and they're all clickable and are HUGE images when you do.

Here are my lips with only Aquafina chapstick (HG product for me btw) just for reference:


Urban Decay Show Pony Shadow Box Palette

MAC 5 Frisky Business Bright Mini Lipglass/Lustreglass Set

2 Lustreglasses (Wonderstruck and Pinkarat):




2 Lipglasses (Totally It, Silly Girl, Beaute):

(the flash is actually the one in the bottom and vice versa xD)

OMG. My first 2 MAC lippies :O




Revlon 002 Pink Pout
Sort of a MAC Snob dupe. I took a picture of half Snob and the other half Pink Pout but I think I ended up deleting it because I thought I took the same picture twice shoot... xD My bad. I also ended up forgetting to take a picture of the Pink Pout itself haha..

This colour caught my eye while waiting for Mike to finish work... This is just one swipe and it is VERY buildable for those who want really purple lips?

Revlon 066 Berry Haute

That is that. I would review each one of them but I would be super repetitive with the "I LOVE THIS" comment. :)

oh also...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASMINE! <3
LOL @ me buying her a PINK Radio flyer tricycle. She calls it a "sakel" and she wants a "heh-met" (go figure what that means lol). :) ♥

RIP Sonja

One of the nicest, most cheerful people you will ever meet. She was in a coma because of a doctor who's a dumb fuck. He/she did not look at her health history and did not know that she has a blood disorder, gave the wrong dosage, revived her twice, and put her in a coma. Then apparently there is a law here in Canada where they do this test twice to see if the person in coma gives any sign of reaction or improvement. If none, they pull the plug no matter what because it's the fucking law. That is FUCKED up. You only get two chances within a matter of a day, two days? Do they not know of people waking up from years of coma? Holy shit... Obviously this is upsetting me because Sonja and her family had to go through this. May your soul in rest peace love.

sickkk

Remember that Roots gift card I was talking about? I found a website (http://cardswap.ca) that sells gift cards for you (they charge 6% min. $4.50 but still I'd rather get that than nothing. And it's sold! :)

Should I????

I am about to buy 24 NYX lipsticks (yes I said 24 lol).
From all the reviews online (plus Melissa), i dont see why not...
If anyone's gonna stop me, do it now because I am about to click Buy it now.
LOL

$50 Roots gift card

If anyone wants it, I'm selling it for $40. Msg me for info!
Please I do NOT have anything I would want to buy at that store. :(

lazy start loool

I know I said I was gonna write about my party but clearly I'm too lazy. Most of those who follow me were there anyway so y'all know what happened. If you weren't, SUCKS FOR YOU! :P

Also, I know that since it's a New Year I should have a resolution, something I would like to change, get rid of, or improve on. I honestly don't have one or maybe I don't know it yet. But I think that life is thrown at you no matter what so you can only hope for the best anyway. If expectations aren't met, there is always a reason why it didn't happen the way you wanted it to be. You can try to plan your life and in the end, God has already made a plan for you. I guess all you can do is try to set yourself in the right path and not lose yourself in the way. Do what makes you happy and stay with the people who make you happy. Get rid of those who don't because you don't need them. Life is too short for all that bullshit and drama. Put your talents to good use and always always do your best in everything you do. 2010 is another year in our lives, every second of it is one-time shot. Don't waste it.

$50 gift card!

Im waiting for MAC's new collections to come out so I can spend it at the bay.
that would be the only thing i can think of on spending money anyway.
:D yaaaaaaay.

my birthday!

• I got a midnight surprise from Mike, Belle, Chelle, Kristine, and Jordan. They came to my house exactly at midnight with 2 cheesecakes with 1 and a 9 with sparklers. They are so awesome like that and clearly they love me. :D (hehe I love myself too much... LOL jks :P) They stayed til 3ish and we pretty much just chilled the whole time. We came to the point where people were falling asleep so that's why they had to leave. But I'm very grateful for what they did. :)
  
• You should all know that I am like an owl. I do not sleep until 4-5am... seriously. So I don't usually wake up til 130-200pm. And apparently Rheena have been trying to get a hold of me to find out where I live. Good thing she got Jaesel after how many tries with me (sleeping), mike (working), and nerissa (was an exam at that time). Vivien helped her so they both came over. I JUST woke up when I opened the door so I looked like a very hot mess. ;) hehe... Rheena stayed for half an hour. Mike actually came over after his work at Arby's and had to leave a bit after because he had work at Sears. :( Vivien chilled at my house til about 6ish. We just talked about random stuff. There came a point where we fell asleep because of Jasmine's show LOL.
  
• Imperial Buffet with family.
  
• Overall, a good birthday. I just wish Mike was with me more but that's okay.
  
• TOMORROW = THE BOMB. We are gonna party til we drop (literally). Hopefully, they don't get me TOO wasted. (Yeah okay...) WHOO HOO!

Thanks for ruining my Christmas with your quiz.
Also HURRY the fuck up with marking our assignments!
Hoooooly whatchu getting paid for?!
FU FU FU! :(

exam in 7.5

greaaat.

School made me less artistic.

I haven't made a video of me singing in months! :O
I know... it makes me so sad too. I just haven't had the time to do one or found a good song to do. Blahhh I need inspiration!

Paper Roses ♥

art history actually taught me something

Something totally irrelevant to art history LOL.
Who knew that one of the 12 apostles St. Bartholomew was flayed alive then crucified upside down?
Uh yeah.... :|

i don't know

it's like i can't understand you anymore...

This studying thing

really isn't working for me :(

My exams still suck

Who in their right mind puts an ART HISTORY exam at 8-10 pm... well any exam?!
What if I had an exam on Friday morning???
I swear we are paying universities to kill us! :(

omg i had to

change my layout because I was soo sick of my other one.
Anyway this one is for you guys to get you guys into the Christmas spirit. I know I need it because these exams make this month very hated.
Also I can't believe it's 9 days until my birthday.. it feels like it was yesterday I was still freaking out for my debut. Time flies by so fast and there are times I wish it could just stop.

sephora haul

They emailed Beauty Insiders (which I am) this coupon where you save $15 off $35 or more... So of course I used it but I didn't get as much as I would like... :( But here they are:

Nars Blush in Mata Hari (matte pink). Nars Blushes are HG for me. Orgasm is the best blush in the world and that all girls should own it (IMO). LOL. This Mata Hari is a bit more pigmented than the orgasm so a little goes a long way. Overall, I love it obv. :)

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Honey Bunny and in Recess. They're basically both nude colours which would be awkward to use as a liner unless you put a different colour eyeshadow on top to make it look brighter. But this is a good base (not a primer!) because it is sort of like a MAC paint pot. I wouldn't know the difference though because I don't own a paint pot from MAC.
Then since it is my birthday month, they gave me my birthday present (because Sephora is awesome like that):

These glosses are actually good. They all have a different smell which I like.

wheeeeeeee i passed my web culture class with an A!! :)
that's one passed lolol....
i hate how slow the profs mark our stuff.
FRIGGG.

try sleeping with a broken heart

Damnnn. She looks smokin!
