MAY/ JUNE HAULAGE..

Since I've been MIA for about a month now, I've accumulated a lot of things.. of some I haven't mentioned in this blog post but will probably be mentioned in other posts.

Keds white slip-ons 8.5 @ Browns
I have been wanting a pair of white slip-ons and when I saw these on sale for 29.99 I didn't even think twice about it hehe.. I definitely look forward to pairing these with a pair of skinny jeans and baggy t-shirt or even a cotton summer dress <3


heels by Micheal Antonio 39.99 @ Winners
need I say more? These are f*^%ing HOT! :D



O.P.I. Nail Lacquer in "No Room for the Blues" and "Hot and Spicy"
These two colors really appealed to me because I've been really into blues recently and this color actually looks good on my finger nails and toe nails even with my medium skin tone, also the coral peachy color is just LOVE, it looks so freaking good on.


Quo Brushes in angled contour brush, angled eye liner brush and angled faec contour brush
These can be found at Shoppers Drug Mart, and I really think that these are great alternatives to MAC brushes, they are great quality and the prices are ridiculously cheaper! The face contour brush is great for getting into the hollows of your cheeks and great for patting on blush, and the angled eye liner brush is divine as it works with such ease to put on gel eyeliner.


LUSH. I have been so reluctant to go into that store because everytime I walk in there I end up with a bag full of goodies! I give into the great customer service and the smell of the store all the time... anyways, this was in two different purchases. I had bought the Colour Supplement and Mint Julips at the same time. And Tea Tree Water and Porridge Soap another time. Just an F.Y.I this is my second Tea Tree Water since fall last year when I started getting into LUSH products, and I have to say using this regulary and NOT sparingly it really does last a long time, not to mention its been a miracle worker on my skin! I always get compliments on how luminous my skin looks I really believe its this baby :). Porridge soap is one the best smelling soaps I've used and literally keeps your bathroom smelling like it for hours after you shower! The Colour supplement is one of LUSH's new products this summer, its a pigmented make-up. You can pretty much use it on its own and conceal different parts of your face, and then mix it into your foundation or moisturizer. I'm the colour dark yellow, and I chose this color mainly so that I could mix it with my foundations, because I'm definitely tanner now, and my foundations are all in my winter shade, this definitely does the trick! The Mint Julips lip scrub is just always nice to have, with the unpredictable weather where I live, my lips tend to get really chapped and dry easily this is a great way to keep the lips nice and smooth.

MAC To The Beach!
Cream Bronzer in Weekend, Lipglass in Splashing, and Lipstick in Lazy Day.
Literally when this collection came out a lot of customers were literally fighting over the Marinelife blush, obviously I didn't end up getting one. My MAC associate told me it sold out literally 1 hour after opening. I'm totally into cream blushes and bronzers right now, they look so good on the skin especially on top of a foundation it looks so luminous and fresh looking :)


NYX For Your Eyes Only - Brown Eyes, and N.Y.C. Creme Stick in Plaza Pink
I am such a fan of NYX eyeshadows, when I saw this palatte I immediately fell in loooove. Also, like I said I'm into cream blushes and bronzers so I decided to get this pink color in the N.Y.C. creme sticks, since I already owned the color seaside bombshell?.

It's been a while.. Commitment overview and new stuff :)

I've been back and forth between Tumblr and Blogger. For the reason that both services are very different in style and simplicity. I find that although Tumblr is very easy to use, to customize uniquely is almost impossible. So, I'm back :)

On my Tumblr, I had posted commitments for the next month..
1. Finish my Crest White Strips Pro pack (10 days) with hopes of great results!
2. Finish my excessive stash of Lush Products (.. so I can go back in the store =*))]
3. Finish two lip products in February.. because I bought two new lipsticks >_<
4. Drink lots of water everyday approx. 3L at the least!
5. Gym 3-4 times a week!

I have 1 and half days of my Crest white strips left, and I have to say that my teeth have gone almost 3-4 shades whiter and brighter! Unfortunately I don't have a before pic, but I will post a after pic :). I have finished my Figs and Leaves soap and Sugar Scrub from Lush. I am definitely going to pick up more Figs and Leaves soap after I finish the I Should Coco soap, I am loving them so much right now my skin has never been so soft and moisturized! I am almost finished my Rimmel London lipstick in "Birthday Suit", it literally feels like forever when trying to finish up the last bit of a product.. I am definitely getting to the 3L but its such a challenge sometimes, especially when you are on the go a lot. My gym commitment is the one I am most proud of! I have lost 3 pounds, in just 2 shorts weeks. I am doing this weight loss goal slowly but surly this time, I definitely do not want to go back now.

I know I said I would finish one make-up product before I bought another one, but I absolutely had to get this set when I saw it! My sister and I were at the mall and with no intentions of buying anything I managed to find two of fave products in a set! Estee Lauder's Magnascopic Mascara and the Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. I can't even begin to emphasize how much I have missed this mascara product. I was first introduced to it when my mom would buy her face creams and then get the free gifts, I would also steal her gifts from her hehe. Out of all the mascara's I found this was the best one for me. It didn't clump on my eyelashes, it sprends them almost perfectly, and lastly and most importantly it gives me the volume I needed. I have such thin and sparse eyelashes, this was my saviour until I started using the Colossal Volume Express from Maybelline New York in classic brown. It has also come with a mascara primer and the makeup consultant had informed me that it is one of Estee Lauder's greatest products, but just has not been marketed properly. She had tried it on my sister and honestly it looked like she was wearing falsies! I couldn't believe it! I was definitely sold! LOL.. Also, I just had to pick up one of the limited edition signature lipsticks in Radiant Rose. See the `LOVE` in the lipstick, its so freaking adorable!
