Makeup Hauls, FOTD, and Sophia's Package (Very Pic Heavy!)

Hey girls! Sorry I haven't blogged in a couple days, this sickness is really wiping out all my energy. I don't have a fever anymore but I can't seem to shake the coughing, runny noses, and lack of energy. So this post is a compilation of the past couple days.

Um...where to start? Ok I'll start with Sophia's package. Remember when I did the swap with her? Well she said she felt bad that I got her so much stuff and because the amount of shipping I had to pay (even though I didn't mind and she shouldn't feel bad :P) so she sent me a couple more items to make up for it. Even though I told her she didn't have to, I was super excited when I got her package on Wednesday(?) and she sent me some great stuff!

Omg, I've been wanting a Sleek palette forever! And the colors in this one are perfect!

This Anna Sui gloss is so pretty, love the packaging

and she sent me an RMK foundation sample (lol, this is originally what we were going to swap for!)

Thank you soo much Sophia, I love everything!!!

Okay next is..my FOTD. Today I was pretty exhausted because of being sick and also because we had a party last night for my birthday and I was pretty hungover :P So I decided to stick to light makeup, just eyeliner, concealer and powder, a little blush, and some gloss.

I'm not going to list what I used because it's nothing too exciting..and I'm being lazy :P

Today we went to run errands and to the mall so I could use my Macy's gift card that I got from my friend. Of course she knew what I would use it for: makeup!

Oh, this picture actually includes a few things that I got the other day, I didn't buy all of it today..well most of it I did, but not all

A couple new brushes from Target, nothing fancy, oh the little one I got at a store in the mall

Blushes from Forever21, they didn't have these the last time I went

Swatches, these are pretty and not super shimmery

Lipstick from Icing store, this is actually a pretty close dupe for the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick, except more pink

Stopped in Hot Topic and saw this Hello Kitty makeup, had to get it! The bronze eyeshadow isn't Hello Kitty though but still pretty

These are so cute, and they're really soft and silky!

Loove this color!

and last but not least....MAC! This is what I used my gift card for

Swatches from left to right: Mineralize blush in Rhapsody in Two, lipstick in Myth, and Cremesheen in Boy Bait

The MAC counter was super busy today because of it being the weekend, and I was feeling claustrophobic so I kinda let the sales girl talk me into buying the blush and the lipgloss because I just wanted to hurry up and get outta there! But I am really happy I did because I love the gloss, especially over the Myth lipstick I got with it. The blush is really light and shimmery, I'll probably end up using it more as a highlighter. If the sales girl hadn't been hovering right in my face and bugging me to swatch them, I probably would've taken longer to decide and ended up getting something else, but it's okay, I'm pretty satisfied.

All in all, I've had a great weekend, despite my sickness, and am going to be enjoying my new makeup! Thank you to everyone who has sent me birthday wishes and also for entering my birthday giveaway! Now it's time for me to catch up on some much needed sleep!

 

Christmas Goodies

Hi everyone,  I hope you all had a great holiday and got to spend lots of time with your loved ones! I know I did, and I am sad it is over :(  But I am definitely looking forward to the New Year! I just wanted to share some of the nice gifts that I got from my great family and friends

My lovely friend Brandy got me these things, she knows how much I love jewelry and cooking, and I am always complaining about being cold, so these gloves/mittens will definitely keep my hands warm! And even though I'm not really sure why she got me martini glasses, I still love them! (Last year she got me some great wine glasses, maybe she is trying to start a collection for me? )

My boyfriend's family got me a gift card to Sephora, which was so nice of them! I already spent it, which is why it's not in the picture, and I bought an Anastasia Brow Whiz eyebrow pencil (keep an eye out for a review!) , some Rosebud Salve, and Philosophy's Purity facial cleanser. The gift card came in a great little compact that has a huge mirror, I'm gonna keep this in my purse :)

My lovely sister got me the e.l.f. Lip Beauty Encyclopedia because she knew I had the one for eyes, and she knows I'm obsessed with Sex and the City, so she bought me Season 5 which I don't have yet (aha, maybe her and Brandy were sticking to a themed present, you know, giving me Sex and the City and some martini glasses so I can drink Cosmopolitans while watching it? hmmm, it's a thought! :) . She had also bought me clothes, but she actually bought me them before Christmas, so I've already been wearing them (she's so impatient when it comes to giving gifts, she always tells me ahead of time what she's getting me, even if I tell her not to!)

My other lovely sister sent me this cute sweatshirt from Korea, along with a little diary and an adorable jacket for my son! He's gonna look soooo cute in it! Great timing too, because I just lost his other jacket and can't find it :P

And last, but not least, my aunt gave me these adorable Hello Kitty earrings and necklace (she knows I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty!) and an egift certificate to Sephora which I still have yet to redeem (I'm so picky when it comes to ordering online!)

So those are a few goodies that I got, haha, I just noticed that everything is very girly and pink! I guess everyone knows me so well :) I hope you all had a great holiday, what are some gifts that you received?
