Coach, Target, H&M, Forever 21 Haul (Picture Heavy)

I bought a few things these last couple of days and just wanted to show you guys :)

I got this bag for my mom. She had been eyeing it for quite a while and she deserved something nice :)



I got this from Target. It's super cute and the necklace came with it :) I just love silver and grey together.



This fuax leather jacket is SO much cuter in person. The picture does NO justice. But anywho, my boyfriend got me this as an early Christmas present from H(and)M cuz I had been wanting it for a very long time :)




The following things are from Forever 21.

I have been wanting these booties for about a month now and FINALLY got them. Luckily I checked F21's website today and found these babies on sale! WOOTWOOT! And my friends happened to have the promotion code for free shipping :D Yayyy! Hahaa. They were on sale for $6 off the original price :) I'm glad I didn't buy them when I first saw them.. haha.


The last three peices of clothing were bought because they are SUPER comfy so when I'm too lazy to get dress but still wanna look.. cute? >:P I can just put them on. Like forreals, they are SUPER SUPPER DOOOOOOPER comfy.











Well that's all for now. Christmas is coming up! I'll post up what I made my friends for their gifts :)


Until then, have fun! Play safe and keep warm!


Tooooodles!

My New Toy.... an Apple iTouch!




I lined up for this baby at Best Buy from 1AM to 5:30AM, and I was the first one to buy it! :D It was SO worth the wait since it came with a $30 gift card which I'll probably be using for a cover/case. Hehe! :)

It's the only thing I bought but I don't really mind since this was a major splurge! I've had it for two days now and I totally love it! I've been needing a new mp3 player since ever!


Now I can finally bump my music in the car, surf the net and play games during class so I won't have to carry my heavy laptop around campus :)


I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving and that you guys got what you wanted for Black Friday! :D I know I sure did ;D


Stay warm! It's starting to get cold. :o
Toooodles! :)

Walgreens: Wet n' Wild; Buy 1 Get 1 Free Sale

Walgreens was having a buy 1 get 1 free sale (and buy 1 get 1 50% off sale for other makeup names) for some of their brand name makeups and so I decided to treat myself to something afforable :)
WnW Mega Eyes palette in Mojave Mauves (382A). It contains a browbone, eyelid, and crease color. There is also a mini-sliding mirror!




Creme Eyeline in Eggplant/Aubergine (887), it comes with a mini brush also.

(Left to Right).
Eggplant creme eyeliner, eyelid shadow, crease shadow, and browbone color.

Pros:
- The palette is surprisingly very pigmented! IT BLEW MY MIND! I was surprised from the color payoff, the pigmentation, and how easily blendable they really are! This goes to show that just because something is cheap, it doesn't mean that the quality sucks! It's even better than the Maybelline eyeshadow palettes! =X.
- The eyeliner glide on very smoothely and it stayed on from morning till night time!

Cons:
- None so far!

Tooooooodles! :)

Profusion: "Ultimate Blockbuster" 120 Extreme Sheer Eye Color

I spotted this little baby palette at Walgreens the other day for only $9.99! I had to get it and I'm glad I did! This product is available during the holiday season ONLY, so if you want this product, I suggest you try to get this immediately because this WILL be out of sock soon!



Front and back view.




Here are the "120" colors. Really, some of the colors are repeated colors but that's okay because the colors are gorgeous anyway! :D This baby also has a full-sized mirror :) That's always a plus!

You can stack the quad palette on top of the symmetrical eyeshadow palette.








Swatches! These pictures do no justice to the actual vibrant colors seen in real life :( Stupid camera.


Pros:
-Plenty of colors.
- Comes with a huge mirror.
- Color pay off is great! Esp. for the price!
- Very pigmented.
- Very easy to blend.
- Glides on smoothely.
- Great for beginners that are just getting into makeup.


Cons:
- This product IS scented, so if you guys are iffy about putting things onto your face with a smell, STAY AWAY! But when I put it on my eyes, I didn't smell a thing.


Verdict: This product keeps to its name so the eyeshadows are VERY sheer and there are NO matte colors. This product is worth the money, in my opinion at least :)


PS. You can also find Profusion products on their website. http://www.profusioncosmetics.com/

Profusion products are also available at Ross.




My first youtube video! Trial and error folks, trial and error. xD



Tooodles! :)

Mini Haul

So I went shopping with my lovelies yesterday and I bought a few things that I absolutely LOVE and a few things I wish I didn't buy >:( The bag behind the product should tell you where I bought my things haha :)


I got more of the e.l.f liquid eyeliner because I saw the where all the e.l.f products was, I only saw ONE liquid eyeliner left. So I was like >:O! Haha, and I saw some lady looking at it and while she was looking at it, I swooped in and said 'Excuse me', YOINK. And I got me the last one >:)

I also got the Maybelline EyeShadow Pallete Sunlit Bronze (WF133) since it was on sale for $4.99 and came with the eyeliner brush. Oringal price without the brush was like $6. And since it came with the brush, WHY NOT BUY IT? It's a good deal......
Is it just me, or do the colors seem a bit chalky? = I definitely would like to return this, only I can't! Wahhh~




Black sleek clutch for $12.99. Isn't it gorgeous?! I've been looking for something I can just bring to the market or when I get some grub, and NOT have to worry about dirtying my oh-so-lovely pink Juicy Couture clutch.



And last but not least, I got some sandals from F21 for $4.99! Original price, $9.50 :) I needed these cuz my other ones broke while I was walking to class >:( I walked barefoot for 10 minutes walking to class. Embarrassing much? xD


Have a happy halloween and be safe! Don't drink and drive~

Costco Kirkland Borghese Brush Set

I went to Costco yesterday and I picked me up some brushes. 15-brush set for 20 bucks? That's a hell of a good deal!
















Includes:
  • 8 professional-quality cosmetic brushes with soft-touch handles:
    Powder brush
    Flat-top Bronzer Brush
    Angled Foundation Brush
    Eye Shadow Brush
    Eye Blending Brush
    Eye Smudger
    Flat Eyeliner Brush
    Angled Brow Brush
    and a Brow Spoolie
  • Premium Eyelash Curler
  • 4 Premium travel-sized cosmetic brushes and Pouch
    Travel-Sized Powder Brush
    Travel-Sized Concealer Brush
    Travel-Sized Eye Blending Brush
    and a Travel-Sized Flat Eyelinder Brush
  • Anti-Microbial and Synthetic, Cruelty-Free Bristles
  • Designer Cosmetic Brush Case

Verdict: The bristles are surprising soft! I used the brushes for the first time today and no complaint yet!... About the brushes at least. But the brush case and travel-sized pouch smells like faux leather. Yuck! Overall, it is well worth the 20 bucks, especially when you calculate each brush to add up to only about less than 2 dollars each!

Maybelline Lipstick - Color Sensations

So I heard my local Rite-Aid was having a Buy-One-Get-One-Free sale for any Maybelline products and so I made my boyfriend take me to go buy some of the new lipsticks I've been hearing great reviews about!



Two lipsticks for 7 bucks is a great deal!
(L) 045 Pink Me Up (R) 025 Pink Please

(L) 045 Pink Me Up (R) 025 Pink Please
They both look the same but I promise they aren't!


(L) 045 Pink Me Up (R) 025 Pink Please
Pro:
-Beautiful colors
-Cute packaging
-Affordable
-Goes on smoothely
-Color pay-off is great!
-Found in most, if not all, drugstores.


Cons
:
-Doesn't smell great, but it's tolerable, to me at least :)
-Drying at times


Tip: When you go to the store, you'll notice that there isn't any seal on the lipstick. So if you're going to buy one, open it to see if someone's used it before! It's just nasty buying a used lipstick >:( And also smell it! Some batches smelt better than others.


Overall, I'll give a 9/10. I will go buy more the next time they're on sale~ haha. Broke college student, what do you expect? :3 You can find them easily at Target, Walmart, Rite-Aid, CVS and more! I like to wear them with chapstick understand so it won't dry as fast, yaknow what I mean? :P


Have a great day!
