Las Vegas Pics!

I just wanted to share some of my Las Vegas trip with ya'll! I do have to admit that this trip wasn't for like vacation-y. We went for the evo competition. My bf is a huge gamer, and since its an international comp, we couldnt miss it. So don't anythiing "big", just some pics. 7 of us went and on one day i was able to go with the other 4 and hit up the outlets, so if a few i show my, though VERY small, haul!

Till then, stay wonderful!

Collective haul - Mac & more...

Sorry about being M.I.A. lately. It's just life sometimes gets in the way. It been super stressful lately and I rarely have time to log on and stuff. Also I'm still doing project 10 pan, but when I'm stressed..... I buy stuff. So this is some stuff that i picked up on my travels lately.

The lipstick is from a swap! I traded my SIB, 4x (maximum) used Blankety for her "un-boxed", almost half used Ahoy, There! :( :( :( I have the worst luck w/swapping! But, that another story.......

First off, I found this Christian Dior brush in a Shiseido on Sunday. And let me tell you, this brush is AWESOME! By far my most soft and high quality! I have a mixture of brushes ranging from Mac (of course) to Elf. But, this brush blows them all away. I'm kicking myself for not getting the large blush brush! And the price was awesome! They're having a 50% on all CD products! I'm gonna try to go this wknd, hopefully the sale is still going on!

I also started my first Mac quad and to be honest... i hate it. I'm not really digging "pan" form. I much prefer the original. Yes, the price is better and it's much more convienient.
I also got 1 blush and 1 highlight powder. And let me tell you... i luvv them! I usually never buy Mac "face" products cause my skin tends to react. But, the blush is beautiful... the color is outstanding! I have nothing like it! My Nars blushes are gonna be jealous cause it may be my new fav!!!
I think ya'll had enough of me blabbing! Till next time my lovlies :)

My baby's birthday.. YAY! plus a little OPI haul

Okay so the other day was my little girls birthday. She is officially 5 yrs old. I will post a baby picture of her and a pic of her on her bday. Also a pic of her gift... ;)

Her birthday gift. I purchased from "The Diva-Dog Bowtique"

Baby Kylie!

I haven't had time to do anything as of late. But, I did have time to order these polishes from 8ty8 Beauty. On the left is "Over the Taupe" from the Brights by Paige and on the right is "Bronzed To Perfection" from the South Beach Collection. They also sent me a free sample of the Poshe "Potion of Youth". I haven't had time to try it out yet. But when I do I will maybe do a review.

Haulage: Benefit, Smashbox, OPI, Anna Sui + Mac

Here are a few additional things i managed to pick up this week. Most is from the Sephora sale. The polish is from a OPI manufacturer that my aunt & I happened stumbled upon. And since my aunt is a working makeup artist we were able to get a real good discount on the stuff. And had i not only had cash on me, i would of got a TON more stuff. Cause opi is my fav polish brand. I was just happy that i got the "rapid dry" for a real good price. It usually retails for over $10 bucks... yikes! i know. I also shopped at All Cosmetic Wholesale. Youtube guru's Michele1218 & Mel for Makeup both swears by it, so i decided to get some things from there. I got the Smashbox gel liner, Mac lipgelee, and the Anna Sui lipstick. yes, i decided to jump on the lavendar l/s bandwagon. I'm not sure if its for me, yet, but hey i only paid $2.99 for it.

Collective Haul and some major venting!

Here is some stuff I've picked up randomly throughout the week. I talked about it a bit in my previous post. It's not much, i know. Cause like I've been saying: i need to SAVE FOR VEGAS. Uggggh! If my bf finds out, i think he's gonna really gonna postpone the trip. We're supposed to leave this Friday. And what makes it worst is that i have stuff coming in on Wed & of course he's not going to work that day. Yikes!! So when up ups shows up..... i don't think I'll be able to hide it. Should i tell just him now, and save me the trouble? He really likes us (me) to save cause when I'm there, and yes just ME, i go BERSERK. I can't resist those outlets. Can anyone?? Here's the breakdown: On the way, we stop at indoor mall, the one next to the Buffalo Bills thing-y. And then before we leave we go to the outdoor outlet place. I dunno. I really want to go in April cause it won't be as hot as it usually is, when we go, in July. I'll see what happens.... I'm in a bad spot. Whatever, now on to the goodies :)

Nars "Mata Hari" Blusher

Collective Haul: Nars, Mac & Smashbox

I went shopping this weekend. I went mainly for clothes, but since i broke my eyelash curler, i had to get another one. So i went over to the Nars counter, and i bought, then i went over to Sephora. I even stopped at the MALet's just say it was a bad weekend for my wallet. I even had to stash the makeup bags into my bags of clothes, so my bf won't see them. I'm supposed to NOT be spending & SAVING for vegas....

Sugarsweet & Cremesheen Haul

My Sugarsweet lippies came today. And i was both delighted and disappointed. Firstly, i was happy cause the colors are as cute as i though they'd be. I love the packaging. BUT then the disappointment kicked in. These things are TINY. In comparison to the lipglass's, the difference is 1 oz. But, you'd think for the extra 3 + change your shelling out, you'd get more product! I guess not.

Mac Just Dessert Tricolor Lipglass

Haulage... a little clothes shopping

I went to the mall to get some foundation @ sephora, but wound up spending most of my time at Express. I LOVE Express, most of my wardrobe consists of their clothing (express was actually my first job, as well). I didn't buy a lot cause I've put on some weight lately. I won't go any further on THAT subject. But, i did get some cute pieces, if i don't say so myself!

and p.s.The satin blouse is wayyy more purple than the stupid camera is picking up. It's sort of the true blue/purple color in the Mac Lucky Tom Quad.

MAC & Hello Kitty Haul

My first makeup haul! Yikes... Okay. I got some Hello Kitty stuff, but let me be honest with you: I wasn't impressed by this collection. Basically what I bought were the only products that appealed to me. BUT.... i wasn't able to get the nail color: On the prowl. Ughh! (cries) It was sold out. I'm gonna try to hunt it down in stores. Other than that i got 1 eye shadow and 1 brush.
