Long-Waited Haulage

It was been a while since I have hauled beauty-related items, so I'm glad to be back on track. 

I was requested to do some swatches of the Anna Sui palette, so here it is. I didn't do an EOTD with it, because I haven't found a suitable look yet. The first time I tried out the palette my dad jokingly said it looks like I have a bruised eye. LOL 

I don't know if my palette is defected or not, but that lavender color moves around in the pan! O.o I was like "Are you kidding me?" 
PSH! So much for being a high-end eyeshadow palette.
NO Flash
The dark purple color is pretty pigmented, however the rest is just OK. Just for your information all of these eyeshadows have a heavy perfume scent. When I say heavy, I mean HEAVYY! So basically it unpleasantly reeks of perfume. As you know Jill Stuart palettes also have a particular smell, but those aren't overwhelming at all.
w/ flash


I went to the mall two days before Mac's In the Groove Collection came out to hold Petticoat. Little did I know that, Stereo Rose was the one that people were hyping up. I seriously thought that people were going to go nuts about Petticoat. I do wish that I picked up Stereo Rose too though. I missed my chance. I feel that whenever I have a chance to buy something I don't, then I end up wanting it really badly when it's all sold out. Causing me to have to hunt it down by all means. Have you guys ever experienced that? 
I got one with TONS of veining.

As you guys know, I originally was not a Mac fanatic. However, I feel myself slowly gravitating towards the brand.
The stupid manufacturing people put TWO plastic inserts into my MSF. hahaha
SWAP~
Then I went on Makeup Alley and swapped with Christine for a Mac Marine Life. Once again, I chose not to purchase this when I had the opportunity. sigh..... 
I am in love with Mr. Seahorse~ I really wish the gold part wasn't an over spray
I definitely think that this is Mac's prettiest creation ever.
I have only opened the lid twice~
Call me CRAZY. whatever....
 

Package Number TWO
 
I ordered something from Adambeauty. My order came in 4 business days, which is pretty darn fast for $2 shipping. 
  

I got the Coffret D'or Spring Collection eyeshadow palette in 04. This one was the one that caught my eye ever since that collection came out. I saw lots of blog posts on this palette, and people seemed to adore it too. ^.^


Though Coffret's packaging is nice, but I absolutely hate seeing my fingerprints all over the palette. oh well. Nothing is perfect.


It is stunning in person, especially the peachy shimmery color in the center. 
BREATH-TAKING!


I went to Target to check out their drugstore makeup~


This is what I came home with~


 A new Revlon eyelash curler because the one that I am currently using is getting old, well , the rubber part. I decided to get the black one because it reminded me of the Chanel curler, and it looked kinda bad ass. ^.^ Hopefully this won't pinch my eyes.


Next I got myself the Lash Stiletto, however it's waterproof this time. It was a value pack, so it came with a eyeliner. It states that it is the "Ultimate Precision" Liner, but that's just BULLSHIT. I will show you why in my next post~

As you may know, I have been having acne problems lately. So I decided to the Neutrogena Rapid Clear gel. It sounds pretty convincing, saying it fights and fades acne. I will do a review after two weeks of using it. 


I am so excited about getting the Garnier Cream Gel~
I have seen this product in my Tawainese magazines, and on blog posts too. It finally arrived in the US.


I think that the baby aqua color is really adorable. I bought it for $6.99, which personally I think is quite a good deal!




Thanks for Reading~

Missed ME? Probably NOT! hehehe


Yo guys!
So I'm back from a long period of time of being absent. ^.^

I think from the couple months of stopping with blog posts; I had time to reflect about all the makeup I have the practicality of each and every one of them. I honesty have to say that the majority of my eyeshadows and blushes are just going to sit there until they basically rot. It's really sad to say this but hey, that's reality. So I'm going to cut back on my spending and probably do a Pan Project. 

I was seriously going to write all that on my post but that's bullshit (excuse my language).
I mean, man, I don't think I could ever stop buying makeup and it's an ADDICTION. bwhahahaha I'm going to real and down to earth here, no BS stories and thoughts will occur on my bloggy :) 

Nothing has really happened to me while I was gone from the blogging world. BTW I definitely have been reading blog posts while I , myself, was too lazy to write any. I just have to say that I admire those of you for being extremely dedicated to blogging. GOOD JOB~


My birthday happened to be in June and although I was not really looking forward to growing older, my bestie friendy still prepared some gifts for me. I just feel an overwhelming sensation of gratitude within my heart.


She got me the Harajuku summer edition fragrance. I LOVE the doll, perched above the actual perfume.

Then my relatives came from Taiwan to visit us. My aunt completely took me off guard when she surprised me with an Anna Sui eyeshadow palette. She knew that I was into makeup from last year, but I just never knew that she would be the type to handpick out a color. 









I was seriously going to get a purple eyeshadow palette too. I've been looking into the Lunasol Lavender Coral palette for the longest time ever, however, I think that this palette will do too. Anyone want me to do swatches?



LOL I got the summer edition Queen magazine ^ .^ Can't believe that the dude with caterpillar eyebrows is on the front cover.

The Lunasol collection is eye-catching.

Finally, I got the Laneige Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel. However, little did I know that people with acne are not suppose to use exfoliating gels. :( SUCKS


My face has recently broke out again. All of this FREAKIN' acne is killing me. You know, when you get those enormous pimples that hurt like heck when you gently touch em? Well I've got tons of those little babies ._.


I picked up some face cleansers at Walmart. I'm not going to review them though, cuz I know that will the heck out of you :P



OK first of all, about the Kit Kats.....clears throat.....they are honesty not as great and delicious as I had thought. OMG, I can't believe that I'm saying this; I'm probably going to get hater comments. So as I was saying...these chocolates were too sweet for my preference. I'm a dark chocolate kind of girl so yup. Just a heads up for you guys that don't like chocolate that sweet.  But I won't ever regret trying them out, just look at the packaging ( too cute ).

LOL I went a little crazy and bought five of them in Mitsuwa.
This is the Mancha (i think) green tea.


My dad BBQ steak for us; he's getting better at doing it every time. Which just means tender and juicier  steak for me. hehehe



I went to this Korean Restuarant during my trip down to L.A. It was interesting how you cooked the meat and not to mention the rice paper thing that you wrapped the meat inside was unique. YUMMY.



Went to Pier 39 again with my relatives. LOL They ordered the banana boat thingy, which is definitely not something that I would usually get however it looks so pretty.

Cherries~
Went cherry u-picking sometime in May and most of them were too small for my mom's liking. LOL whatever......
