Tidbits, Hauls, FOTD :)


Chili Bowl
San Antonio
Kennedy
Vs
Memorial
football game 2009

To show my team spirit I ended up going all out with my makeup. I could have worn green lipstick but didn't know if that would look right :/ I also wanted to put falsh lashes and paint green glitter on the tips but I ran out of time and couldn't do it :D

It was a nice night, the weather was perfect and we had a great turnout. The concession stands were running out of food, lol. Better yet, Kennedy kicked the socks off of Memorial with a final of 42 to 6 which was evident in the game, Memorial players were tripping over their own feet, running was lagging, and catching seemed like a sin, lol....after the game the kids went out to the field to say hi to all the players and the coaches...

Anyways, here is what I used:)

-Face-
Grisi face lotion
MAC studio fix fluid nc40
Prescriptives concealer
MAC peachtwist blush (very lightly)

-Eyes-
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Sally Girl eyeshadow Snow
vivid green from Coastal Scents 88 palette
Urban Decay Graffiti e/s
dark forest green from Coastal Scents 88 palette
ULTA Galaxy e/s
Clinique high impact mascara
Zero Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner
MAC eye pencil Minted
-Lips-
MAC lipstick Gilty Kiss
LA colors gloss

Not in the Galley

Veteran's Day 2009 - Yesterday I had a very nice Post-Marine Corps birthday day. haha. I ended up getting a free drink where I work and me and the family went to Applebee's to get our free meals! The wait was an hour and a half but it was worth it because our meal was hot and our waitress was in a festive and great mood. We made new friends waiting to be seated as well. Overall the night was great!
And now for my long overdue haul :)
I've been needing to get a backup of my all-time favorite holy grail lipgloss in Endulging by Milani, so I went ahead and got Endulging and the hot pink one...
A few weeks ago I picked up a few things at a nice store that one of my readers suggested I visit, Michelle, thank you so much for letting me know about it! NYX lipliners, I love these...and 1 eyeliner in Seafoam Green...
and 2 round lipglosses by NYX - they are just ok I guess. I may have to give these away though-not a fan....And an LA Colors gloss in Beige? I think :/
.

.
Has anyone ever tried these glosses before? For $2.49 these are a steal. Well I LUUUUUUUV these! I originally started out wearing the Cappuccino one (which is a creamy nude beige color)...and I never really thought about checking out the other colors they had to offer, but I'm so glad I did...I went ahead and bought 3 more and I love them!Frosted Berry, Mocha Mousse and Strawberry Parfait...They each smell like the description of the name so that is very lovely :)they are much cheaper at Wal-mart, if you go to Walgreens they try to rip you off by charging 4 to 5 dollars for each, so check them out if you are interested! :)

So, I've sort of been on a no makeup buying project since early September, roughly. But once in a while I do treat myself to something that I must have or something that I need, and for a special occasion like yesterday, I did do a little hauling....
My Veterans Day treat to myself

Loreal eyeshadow in Taffeta, Sinful Colors Nail Lacquer in Gold, and Loreal Bare Naturale mascara

This color is very unique, I don't have anything exactly like this color....I have a few shadows sort of close to it but not exactly. I would describe it as a rosy bronze that is light and frosted but not too frosted, I love it
.
In the beginning of the month I went over to the outlets in search of a certain Betsey Johnson handbag but didn't find it :(
Anyways, In order for the trip to not be such a 'waste',heehee, I stopped by my favorite makeup store, yep, the CCO. I did find a few things that I adore!

Refined MSF, Gold Stroke pigment, Night Violet lipstick and Fresh Cut e/s palette
This pigment is so unique, I don't have an eyeshadow or other pigment even close to the color, I've worn it a couple of times and love itFresh Cut e/s palette which was a Nordstrom edition palette that has alot of pretty colorsThe detail on the palette is nice/cute :)I am in love with this MSF, I quickly remembered why I didn't take advantage of these when they were out in stores....I remembered thinking that all MSF's looked the same regardless. I own So Ceylon which is a very pretty rose bronzy color, Refined is a nice peachy rose color.
Red she said
Well I finally got the MAC lipstick in Russian Red,

Yes, I've used up quite a bit of it since I got it, I may need a backup :)
I honestly can't understand why I waited soooooo long to get this color, it is amazing! I think the color is perfect for my skintone since it has a orangy gold undertone......Love it!
Another red fave...

the color Red Stiletto by Lancome. I loooooove this color :) It is a creamy red color (no frost or pearl) and it stays on like forever!
Everyone have a great weekend, let me know if you would like to see more hauls or if its boring :P, I would like to know your opinion!
