Hey guys ♥
We were bored on Monday since there was no school so the bf drove me, sis and sis's friend down to Jersey Shores Premium Outlets...and i was never more disappointed when i go to outlets...there was almost nothing there, and we were done in about 3 hours (i usually take the whole day at Jersey Gardens) Well, there was something good there which was the CCO ♥ I was so happy =] haha the majority of my time spent at JSPO was at CCO ;D haha i love Mac on bargains so this is my Mega Haul ;D
The blacked out areas is for a friend =] i dont want her to know what i got her so i will show the pic in the future...LOl i also got Claire's pastel nailpolishes that i've been forever trying to find...sighhh and Tommy Girl, one of my ultimate FAV perfumes...cus it smells like lychees in the summer...i wish it was summer...so sick of the snow...plus my car is a low lying sports car...so the snow/ice scratches the bottom...sighhh
I also got the Heatherette from Krystal but i forgot about it and got another one...LOL so it would be going to my sister ;D the one next to it is Perfect Topping
Heatherette - Smooth Harmony swatch
I love love love the MSF i got so i got another one...in Perfect Topping...both can be perfect highlighters ;D
Sugarsweet - Refined, Perfect Topping
Next to each other, you could see that Perfect Topping has a slight lavendar tint to it while Refined is more pinkish nude...and they both give me that really dewy glow since my skin is really really dull...
Neo Sci Fi - Spaced out
I have to say i fell in love with it the moment i saw it...LOL it's so pretty...it has a peachy base with micro pink shimmers...very very flattering ;D
Red She Said - Stark Naked
I skipped this collection but now i regret it!!! i got this b/c of it's rasberry pink undertone and the gorgeous gold micro shimmers...it's really really flattering!
I loveeeed my Grand Duo mineralize Blushes b/c they were so gorgeous on my medium tone skin so i got two more ;D
Color Craft - Cheek&Cheerful
Warm Soul
Swatches ;D i loooove these! Warm soul is like a more pinkish nude while C&C has more of a golden undertone which is perfect for us asian ladies ;D haha both give major flattering micro shimmers...and i usually put this on first, then top it off with my MSF to make it appear more natural ♥
Red, She Said - Danger Zone
Pigment - Bell Bottom Blue
I heard really really good reviews of how great Dangerzone is so i had to get it to try out myself...can't say i LOVE it but...it's nice...the black and silver is really wearable..but i dunno about the red...hahaha looks like someone needs more sleep if they wear the red all over the lid eh? The BBB was actually picked by the MUA b/c i wanted a blue pigment...and it was gorgeous! it's not as pale as baby blue and not as harsh as navy blue...it's the perfect shade in between ;]
Metal-X - Metalblu
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!! it's almost a chrome finish on the lids especially if applied wet like my finger there C= and it just pops out!! it's so pretty and wearable!
So i am finished with the mega haul ladies, thanks for reading, and i want to say hello to all the new followers, thanks for your support!!! umm....i have forever 21 hair accesories coming up, with nails and stuff...so stay tuned!!

VDay Nails, Coach, MAC, and ICING
Hey ladies ;D
Haven't posted much lately, school is starting tomorrow...not excited about that BLEHHHH...LOL but...here's my nails all ready for Valentine's Day ;D I used Jordana ($1) Pink pearl and nail art polishes in gold and white to get this look.
Very simple and easy small strokes ;] anyone can do this...really!
Up Close and Personal C=
Onto the Haul!!!
I really really wanted to get the Coach cosmetics but I waited too long and when I went to the Coach Outlet and found these on sale...i almost jumped for joy! i was bummed when the SA told me that there were 5 different shades around christmas but they sold out like crazy...sighhh
i got two lipglosses($10each, both peony, one for backup) and one shimmering powder($20) that i swatched at the store and fell in love with.
The packaging is amazing...i've always loved their signature C look...hate the new one that they came up with though...LOL
Color is amazing....Peachy Coral with small Gold reflects...
This is a size comparison between MAC's Preciousness and Coach's Peony =] Same weight size but Coach's is slightly larger ;D if they had more shades, i would've nabbed them all!!
The shimmering powder is imensely gorgeous! it gives your cheeks/face the right highlight shimmer that looks like a real glow! got it for half price! now i really should've gotten another one!
MAC!
I got three things! one Mineralize blush, one MSF, and a studio fix(which i hate cus the MUA was wrong[again] about my skincolor and she gave me C6 which is too dark on me)
MinBlush in GENTLE!!! i saw this on display, swatched it and fell in love with it so i bought it! it looks really pink but it gives just the right amount of *just pinched* color on your cheeks!
w/o flash you can see the gold undertone which is very faint since it has small silver reflects ;d
MSF in Refined - I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! it gives the perfect amount of glow to my face! new fav MSF!
I got this at the same place i got those amazing brushes ;D ICING! it was on clearance for $2.25.
I really really wanted My Private Jet Holo by OPI but i couldn't find it anywhere. When i saw this glittering in the bin, at first i thought it was the OPI but then it turns out to be Icing's own brand! it's a great dupe for MPJ since it's black with rainbow holos! it doesn't have as much holo's as MPJ though...i love this one especially for the price! but my search for MPJ shall continue!
The Boyfriend surprised me with a *Just Because* gift ♥ he knew that the camera he got me 3 years ago stopped working and i really really needed another one since my camera is my life and i loveee taking pics of everything and anything...so when it died, a part of me died with it! yea i know, so melodramatic but it's true since i almost always had my camera on me! I've been using my Sis's camera for about 2 weeks now and so he decided to get me another one! I always loved Sony's digicams and he got it....for no reason =] yea i know...*gushhhh ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥*
Old Vs New! Pale pink (old) Vs Hot pink (new) i have to say i lovee the hot pink!
It's so much more clearer and i love it to pieces! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BABE!!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! btw, i collect my name on mini license plate keychains from whereever i visited...if they have it...so far i only found four...since most places don't seem to carry them anymore...o well ;]
DONT FORGET TO ENTER GIVEAWAY! CLICK ME
ENDS FEB 14!
i still got my sephora haul to do...so until next time lovely ladies!

Purchases ;D
Hey girls! omg summer's coming and i'm itching to stop studying and spend a day at the park. Sadly, my allergies are keeping me indoors! i'm constantly wiping my nose and rubbing my eyes so makeup at this time of the year is a no no. BOOOO which is why i only use my favorite items...my LIPPIES!!
Went and got me a Saint Germain Lippie from MAC and the other thing that i was DYING to get for sooo long now...the tarte sugar lip exfoliator...been reading about this is item in soo many magazines...and everytime i went to sephora, i forgot about it...so i went just to get it two days ago...hahaha
oh right...i can get color....OUTTA THEIR BOXES AND LOOKIN BEAUTIFUL!!!
Ohhh baby don't that pink make you wanna smile? reminds me of bazooka gum...LOL
I loveeee the way they designed it...when you take off the cap, the mirror POPS out...this is such a life saver since i'm always scrambling to find a mirror...
There are two sides...the orangey tan looking side is the sugar exfoliator. when i rub it on my lips, it feels kinda raw...but then i flip the lippie around to the balm side and it instantly soothes it....LOVEEEE ♥
I went to this new store on 8th ave in brooklyn's chinatown...and saw this cute little BB cream that you could hang onto your cell phone...haha for only $5...so i decided...heck why not give it a try...its only 5 bucks...versus...alot more hahaha
My first BB cream...hahaha ignore the chipped nails please...i know it looks atrocious...but i've been so darned busy lately...LOL but welcome to my world my super cutie...hehehe i dont hang it on my phone. it just sits on my table. looking all cute ;s
This is for my mets girl She ran a contest for bargain buys...and i told her i got my dress at macys for $10 when it was originally like $190...and i snatched that dress...haha i dont think anyone would believe me if i told them that i got my michael kors dress for ten bucks. hehehe i don't mind telling everyone ;D hahaha it's perfect for work...LOL plus it comes with a pretty belt...swwooooonnnn im so happy i got this LOL
I'm brave enough to show you my size...and the belt that it came with...lOL yes im a chunky monkey eight. Petites cus i'm kinda short. five foot five...ok not short enough to be considered petite...but hey that dress fit me like a glove and it was ten bucks. so there was NO WAY i would pass up that deal. OH and i had a coupon for twenty percent off...so Mets girl, it was really EIGHT bucks...LOL
To leave you guys on a lasting note, i've taken a pic of a really fruity flip flops...cus everytime i bought flip flops, my dad steals it the next day and claims it. so i got these heeled ones...and i told him he was free to take it whenever he chooses...but he cracked up...lOL guess i have a pair of FF's to myself...hehehehe

Completing Prestige haul, plus 99 cents store!
So I went back to the drugstore and got some more items, and on the way, i stopped by the 99 cents store to pick up a couple of nail polish!
Got 4 jordana Nail polishes, 2 sally hansen, two iQuads by prestige, a liqiuid eyeliner from Prestige, Modlash, minerals eyeshadow by Prestige, a lipstick in fire shine from covergirl, and a lippie from Revlon! Oh and a whole bunch of valentines day stickersss!!
Silver, Electric Blue, Pink Pearl, and Barely Pink <3 sooo worth it for 1 buck! Oh and my prestige eyeliner in Pop Star!
three iQuads that i got....i dont really like them! they were sooo sheer and it was just horrible to put on! maybe as a shimmery top layer would work but they wouldn't work by themselves!
my two favorite lippies in the world!!!!! The covergirl shine label and the revlon renewist works sooo well on my lips! Review will follow shortly!!! <33333
Soooo...this is my minerals eyeshadows!!!! They are sooooo pretty! works a million times better than the iQuads!
Here is my beautiful colors on my skin! Soooo perfect eh?
Review Grade:
- A++ for the Jordana Nail! Cheap and Chic!
- F for the iQuad. Cute name but waste of money.
- A for Prestige mineral eyeshadow
- B- for Sally Hansen. Took forever to dry!
- A++ for CG Shine and Revlon Lippies!
- B for both Prestige Liner and Modlash!
