Hello Kitty for Sephora

WOOOO, My Sephora package came this morning, and this is what I got! 

This is a Hello Kitty brush set! Isn't it just darling? HAHA

I feel like a grandma when I say that word. :) 

But it is so cute! I would definitely keep it on my table.. if I had room. 

Unfortunately, this is going back. For $53.90 Canadian, I don't think it's worth it. 

Holiday Hauling...

HELLO EVERYONE, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 

Hope that the break is doing you all some good. :) I know I've eaten too much turkey myself. lol 

Recapping what happened this holiday so far: Work, Dinner at the Melting pot, work, work, Family dinners, working some more, and shopping! LOL I might do more shopping tomorrow... scratch that, I WILL be doing more shopping tomorrow. I hope I don't get anything... 

I have been holding off this post for way too long. I'm sorry to you guys who's been patiently waiting (*cough*Amie, Teresa, Rachel, Somarly, IVANHO *cough*). HAHA. After much contemplation, I decided to cut out a lot of pictures that I didn't think were necessary for this post, so that it's... shorter.

BY THE WAY, I “lol” when people tell me that I should be the next make up guru on YT, because I’m NOT a guru. I just like playing with make up. I don’t have any tips or tricks that haven’t already been said by Michelle Phan. I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to make up. People ask me, “What colors should I be wearing? What make up is going to make my eyes pop?” AND I say… “I dunno. Whatever you like? LOL Colors that make your eyes pop would be the colors on the other side of the color spectrum.” *Shrugs*.

… AND that is why I am a BEAUTY EXPERT… *Points at name tag from work*. I’m not a beauty master, I have to work at Murale for that. Then theres the Gurus that live in YT. J

This is mostly a LUSH haul, because they had a buy one get one free sale ! (yay!)  It was a pretty good month for me to receive things, because I love getting things (especially when it’s free… everyone at work knows that. LOL!). It’s kind of bad… but I blame it on my asianess.

Another Haul?

I had the entire day off today, so my mother and I went to do a little shopping. It's my brother, Vincent's, birthday on the 17th. He's turning 22. What an old man. We went to look for a new backpack for him, since his is getting really dirty and old. Gross.

I suggested that we go to West Edmonton Mall, because it does have every store imaginable. We all know that I was secretly wanting to go to sephora though...

Turns out... we couldn't find a suitable backpack at either Atmosphere or SportChek. Meh. I bought more make up with my VIB discount, and I finally redeemed 500 points for the beauty point perk! It comes with a full size of the BUXOM lash! They didn't have this set on Wednesday, the last time I went. I might just go return the Buxom lash I bought, because I don't need two. I really don't know when I'm going to be able to use up all of these mascaras. Maybe if I blog more, I'll do a fun make up look for each post. lol! That's a fun way to use up my make up...

After buying a couple pairs of practical boots for the cold winter climate, my mom and I stopped at costco for gas. I've never seen such bad drivers on the road. It was rush hour by this time, so we stopped inside to shop for a bit. I ended up getting a gel memory foam matteress topper! Yay! Haha, I was so excited that I put all my sheets and blankets to wash because I don't want it to get dirty. xD

Yay for clean sheets and fluffy blankets!

We also found a decent looking backpack! Score! Mission complete. lol.

I spent the rest of the night cleaning my room, because I haven't had the chance to since school started... needless to say, it was a nightmare. I finally have some walking space in here!

Anyways, I'll get to the pictures! Hehe, pictures are always the best part.

Collective view of the cosmetics I purchased today

Close up of the lipfusion infatuation christmas set. It's such an excellent deal! $31 for 2.5ml x 4! That's 10ml worth of glosses for the cost of one 5.5ml full size!

This set comes with the colors First Crush, Screen Siren, Angelic, and Lollipop (l/e).

I've been eyeing Screen Siren for a while, an this set is perfect! The glosses have a semi-opaque coverage. They're so gorgeous. :)

I don't know what it is, but I have an obsession with lip glosses/lip products. When I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. It was out of stock on Wednesday, but it came back in stock today! SO HAPPY! There are all full sizes. The lip balms are to DIE for. I love the Jasmine one, although it doesn't really smell/taste like Jasmine. I tried on the lightest pink shade of the gloss, and it's is GORGEOUS. It smells and tastes like cherries to boot! They use cherry oil in the glosses apparently. LOVE IT. All this for $51 CAD, normally $124 CAD. I'm in love.

I also bought the Stila eye kajal in topaz for the waterline yesterday. My friend who does photography said that the white on the waterline looks too unnatural in photos. I tried it on for a coworker, and she pursuaded me to get it because I "look[ed] so cute". I don't really like this particular eyeliner, because it has no staying power on the waterline what so ever! Oh well.

In this picture, there's the Bare Escentuals box set that I got for my beauty insider points. It comes with the pink cosmetic bag, a mini brush, a mini face powder, a mini lipgloss (BEST glosses), and a full sized buxom mascara!

Last, but not least, I picked up the MUFE feather lashes because they looked so fun. The longer I stay in Sephora, the more things I want. I also got a bottle of the DUO lash glue in clear, because it's only $10 for 14ml. The one I get from London drugs is $7 for 7ml.

That pretty much concludes my haul from today (& I guess yesterday as well). I'll put some fun camwhoring pictures now! he he

I love doing make up at night right before I go to wash my face.

This is just a really intense smokey eye I decided to do. :)

Oh! I also bought this faux fur stole from H&M. I love it. hehe

Okay, I hope you all enjoyed this post! It's time for me to go to bed... maybe. lol!
