ELF Haul

Got some staples from elf because they finally have replacement eyelash curler pads!!!

Received the toggle coat I ordered from Target yesterday and it's satisfactory. I don't think my search for the perfect toggle coat is over though! : ]

Also received my Eyes Lips Face haul today!



Travel mirror ($1) just to have in my bag and got another eyelash curler ($1) for when the pad on mine is kaput! I can't find any replacement pads that fit in the eyelash curler, so I just bought another one.



Bought their Studio Kabuki Face Brush ($5) to use for my Everyday Minerals makeup. I didn't expect the brush to be that big. It's so soft as well and I just love rubbing it on my face! : ] Here it is compared to the Ecotools kabuki:




Ordered another spoolie ($1) (the one I bought a long time ago broke -__-), their Studio Powder Brush ($3) (so soft!), and another Studio Small Angled Brush ($3) so I can have one for filling in my brows and one for cream eyeliner.


Got eyelashes in Dramatic and Natural ($1). I bought them before and failed at putting them on, so I need more practice! Also got their Cream Eyeliner ($3).



I forgot it came with a mini angled brush! It's just like the Small Angled Brush, just less dense. It's sort of difficult to use because of the mini handle. I was hoping this cream eyeliner would not smudge on my lid, but the oil is eating away at it as we speak. Still, I'm loving this cream eyeliner because it's creamy and easy to apply. The wet n wild cream eyeliner is not as creamy in comparison.



Studio Blush in Peachy Keen (Left) and Gotta Glow (Right) ($3). Been wanting Peachy Keen for awhile even going to Target many times in vain. It's sort of meh to me. I think it's the gold shimmer/sheen. Gotta Glow is nice though! It pretty much has the same gold sheen as Peachy Keen. As a highlight, it's definitely more noticeable.

sorry for the sucky swatches!

and I finally got the Sanrio watch I've been wanting--Badtz Maru! I feel like buying them all though T_T

turned off

as usual, procrastinating. not doing homework and blogging just to use an excuse.


Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Born With It and wet n wild palette in Vanity

went to Walgreens because they're having a 40% off Maybelline sale this week. i've been wanting Born With It, but now it's just meh. sucks that Walgreens doesn't have a beauty return policy like CVS and Riteaid do.


the color is nice, but it is oh so frosty/shimmery/metallic looking. i swatched it on my hand and when i wiped it away, i was left with glitter. my sister said it looked like the makeup we used as kids -__-


i'm loving this purchase even though! i wasn't as excited when i bought it (it was on clearance for $2.59 so i thought oh well). the colors are great: 3 matte and 3 shimmer.

and lastly, waiting for this:


my friend Jimilyn gave me a code to use on Target.com that took off $0.50 and gave free shipping. the palette was on clearance for $5 so in total i spent $4.92. great deal! let's just hope they don't screw us over or something like that!

no more

i really need to stop wearing gray and black. i realized that i've been wearing the combo for the past 3 asian americans women classes. >_<
h&m sweater, american apparel tap short, target tights, zipia wedges

went to target in search of elf's studio blush in peachy keen (want it so badly!), but they didn't have it so got these instead:



in a blush phase right now -__-

vintage expo

went to the vintage expo in San Francisco last sunday and it was fun, except i lost my favorite black cardigan/sweater. so sad T_T
should i??cone boobs lolclose ups and a top that i got:
loving matte orange nail polish from Urban Outfitters
we ate at a french restaurant called Absinthe. the croque monsieur was delicious, but i felt uncomfortable the whole time because here we were, asian looking kids, while the rest were caucasian mid-20s and upwards. it's weird to say that i'm not used to being the minority.went to the mall afterwards and got 5 for $15 undies from American Eagle lol. also went to l'occitane and got a different kind of rose hand cream, but this one is more old lady smelling T_T it's okay though because i ordered another rosebud hand cream on ebay.passed by target today to get a 1 1/4 curling iron (which i loove) and saw that they had elf cosmetics! yay! now i don't have to order online anymore! stocked up on clear mascara for my brows and bought another eyelash curler that has a closed handle which i love as well!i want to try this volumizer because my hair is so helplessly flat, but i don't think it'll help since my hair is long and heavy. also got this covergirl mascara. i was so sad that they discontinued my favorite mascara from them, the green waterproof one with the curved brush. gotta try this one out to see if it's still the same!

rosey

cardigan: Urban Outfitters, pants: thrifted, flats: Urban Outfitters
i'm not one to wear pants other than jeans, but decided to wear these on a whim and glad i did because it's different from my usual and really comfy! too bad i decided to wear these wool pants when the weather was warm : /
EVIL EYELASH CURLER! i really like now this elf eyelash curler curls my eyelashes, but since the handle isn't one of those circular ones, accidents happen. and they're painful!!! ripped some eyelashes and thought my eye was going to get bruised the last time it happened. keeping it away...for now.
finally found a much needed pair of good jeans. the best part: they're $9.50 from Forever21! now that i know my size there, i can order cheap jeans yaaaay!
so in love with rose right now. rosebud hand cream from l'occitane, rosebud salve, soon to have chloe eau de toilette deluxe sample...even rose milk tea! i'm in love with rose!!!

e.l.f. haul!!!

yay finally got my order from e.l.f. (eyeslipsface) the place of $1 makeup!!i ordered it last week on wednesday, it shipped out on friday, and i finally got it yesterday, so shipping took a week. it was torture and compulsiveness (tracking it everyday), but it was okay since i paid $24.95 for 25 items. pretty good deal! (thank you 50% off coupon!)
here are the goodies:nail polishes in Medium Red, Mod Mauve, and Fluorescent Pinka bunch of clear mascaras to keep my brows in place. they added a neck inside the tube so not a lot of product comes out.
toe separators!! those things are simple but smart.Matte Bronzer. i really like it, but it's not completely matte as you can see here:Eyeshadow Quads in Butternut and Nymph Dreams. i love Nymph Dreams, it's so pretty. made me feel like a mermaid wearing it. lol.
Tinted Moisturizer and All Over Color Stick, both in Spice/Medium
they looked a bit dark for me, but the all over cover stick turned out slightly lighter. the tinted moisturizer made me look tan which i don't like!Eyeshadow Duo in Berry & Mineral Eyeshadow Primer
the duo was eh, but the primer has a lot of product in it.
BRUSHES!
the Blending and Eye Shadow brushes shed a lot :[
the Complexion Brush is perfect for bronzing!who wears braids like this anymore? lol
made a kitty hat (can't really see here)
it's something like this
