Spring-Time Shopping / Update

I have a collective haul to share with everyone! Let me know if you would like to swatches of items, and I will be sure to do a post on it. Also, I just wanted to say that buying makeup is a pricey hobby! ._.

UPDATES OF MY LIFE:

So recently, I have been extremely stressed with AP tests and projects from school. However I did attend prom which was an unforgettable period of my life. I will be sharing my prom experience with everyone in my later post.

Can you guess which one is me?

 Sephora Haul:

 Of course when Sephora has their annual 15% F&F sale, I need to pick up some items. I do feel that I am controlling myself in buying makeup. My trick is so repeatedly telling myself that I won't be able to use up the makeup before it expires. For me it really works, so you should try it out too. So from Sephora I basically picked out some essentials that I knew I would use often. 

I've been seeing these new Dior Addict Lippes from blogs to youtube. I couldn't resist to try one out.   

Packaging is similar to the older version, but larger in size. Nothing terribly special...meh. 

422 Tokyo (with flash)

The color is described on Sephora as a sheer peachy pink, however I disagree. I believe that the color is a bit more on the nude side. You would definitely need to personally swatch these lipsticks.

578 Diorkiss (no flash)

Woooo~ Extremely vibrant deep pink. I just read it's color description, and Sephora calls it a "sheer dark pink". lol haha It made me chuckle since it is a contradiction. I believe that this color is perfect for those who actually want some color to show up on their lips. Don't become hesitant to try this one out! 

 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Porcelain 

The ONLY reason I purchased this item was due to the fact that Miss Wiggle wrote a very very convincing and persuasive review on it. I think what sold the product to me was the begining sentence where she stated that the Lancome Teint Miracle  was not working for her. I realized that the Lancome foundation would oxidize on me into a dirty moldy color, so I have temporarily stopped using it. I just started using this product last week, and I got to admit that I am impressed.

As usual my annual purchase of the L'Occitane Hand Cream for my mother.

DDF Acne Control Treatment

My 100 point perk gift. 

Philosophy bath thing for my birthday, but the funny thing is that the birth date I put on my Sephora account was fake. oh well~

MAC Haul:

187 brush

This was THE brush that I always wanted since my obsession with makeup. I was finally able to get it. squeals*

I could not resist purchasing this because I couldn't' afford to miss another peachy lipstick.

Mac Ever Hip

The color was amazing when I swatched it in the store. I was freaking out and eager to get my hands on this. bwaha

My first MAC beauty powder.

MAC Beauty Powder Alpha Girl

Honestly I love this collection because I love how everything is in the original packaging. I know that some people may disagree with me, but I think that some of the limited edition packaging is so cheap looking~

The cute floral prints is totally my style.

Drugstore:

Origins A Perfect World

 I was shocked and pleasantly surprised to find this at my local Target. And to make matters even better, it was the last set. hahaha Victory! At Target it was only $25 and the retail price for both would be around $70.

 Repurchased the Garnier Gel-Cream mainly because it was on sale or else I probably wouldn't have bought it again since I want to try out new products.

Yes to Tomatoes Acne Moisturizer

Has an odd/artificial scent. So far not impressed~

That is all for today~ Hope you enjoyed reading it.

Getting Naked Today~

Yo Yo Sup~

I have been gone from blogging for more than a month. ^.^ I just have ONE word branded on my forehead SLACKER. My life has been a complete bore. Zzzzzzzzzzz

Hahaha as if you peeps haven't seen enough of the Urban Decay's Naked palette. LOL 

I have seen this palette pop up on too many blogs. Just had to say that Naked is the weirdest name ever.

Go ahead and scroll downwards to my other shizzzzzz if you are fed up with UD.

MACY HAUL-ZER

meh, all this unnecessary commotion of this palette on the internet has made me tired of talk'n about it.

blah. blah. (can't think of anything to say)

not a fan of cardboard/paper packaging

HAUTELOOK HAUL-ZER

Barbie Loves Stila~ damn people didn't secure the palette with extra bubble wrap.

how did i know that this was going to happen? I'm serious. I had a gut feeling that it was gonna break. F******

 O.o           NOOOOO

I called Hautelook, but they didn't have another one. I didn't feel like returning it cuz two of the eyeshadows were still in good conditions.

I attempted to re-pan one of the shadows. LOL it was my best attempt to make it look like other shadows.

Before, I only had two brushes which were a blush and shadow. Finally decided that it was time to get new ones.

 

Includes 5 brushes.

Three of  them are eyeshadow brushes.

Won a Giveaway~

I hardly ever win anything because I have bad luck~ :(

I had won The Makeupholic's Giveaway. Thanks so much for holding the giveaway.

I'm pumped to be adding more Mac things to my collection.

Mac Earth to Earth Blush

Mac Silverthorn

Mac What a Do!

 

Mac Chocolate Brown Pigment

I bought the Mac 239 brush one or two weeks ago. It was my first eyeshadow brush. ^.^

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~
