Movies, mustaches, and FOTD

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday to you all! Hehe. I didn't do much yesterday, just basically hung out at home, watching Japanese anime movies, by my favorite Japanese director of all time, Hayao Miyazaki! I love all the movies he's made, especially the first one I've ever watched, My neighbor Totoro! I actually watched this movie at my friend's house when we were little children. I loved it when I first watched it, and I'm now thinking about purchasing it on DVD.

Anyway, the movie I watched yesterday was called Ponyo! It's a very cute movie about a goldfish princess that runs away from home, and meets this little boy, and falls in love with the boy. It's just a super cute movie. If you live in California you can see the movie now, because it's out in theaters in California. I'm not sure about other states. I actually learned about this movie from a commercial I saw on TV! I was watching TV the other day at my boyfriend's house and the trailer for this movie came out! And I was like, "OMG! I have to watch this movie!"
The other movie that I watched yesterday was Howl's Moving Castle. I thought this movie was very cute, and geared more towards adults, unlike Ponyo, because Ponyo was probably geared towards children. I love this movie! There is a girl named Sophie, and she is really plain, and this witch puts a spell on her, making her appear old looking. She meets Howl, who is a wizard, and she falls in love with him. There are a lot more details to the story, but I think if I were to type everything up, it would probably take me forever! Anyway, I'm probably going to purchase some of his movies very soon, The thing I love about his movies, is that you kind of know that everything will be okay at the end. Even throughout all the craziness, and turmoil, you just about know that everything will be fine. And the right people will end up with the person their suppose to be with. :)

So after watching all those crazy movies last night, I went out with some friends to eat, and hang out. We went to Cate Hiro, which is an Asian fusion restaurant. I don't know if I mentioned this in my earlier posts, because I've been there one time before. Anyway, the food was good, and after that we decided to go get frozen yogurt at yogurt land in Irvine, at the Irvine marketplace.

And my friend Christine had to whip out her mustache bandages, so we were messing around with those for a bit. To protect my friend who will probably be embarrassed by these pictures, which I'm pretty sure she will be, I have blacked out her eyes:

At first she was so embarrassed that she wouldn't even look at the camera!
She was trying not to laugh and stay still! The pictures are blurry because she kept moving around and laughing her brains off! When she finally calmed down a little.
And I will grace all of you guys with my mustache! It is pretty ugly looking, since I haven't worn makeup this morning yet!
And this is what I look like with makeup on! This is my FOTD picture!
Makeup used:
Paul & Joe creamy powder foundation in 50
Paul & Joe powder in 03
Paul & Joe lipstick in 060
Beautyrush lip gloss in bubbleminty
Manly 120 count palette in matte black as eyeliner
Hope you guys have an awesome weekend! I won't be posting till Monday, hopefully! I have a couple of errands to run on Monday, and I also have work. And tomorrow, I'm going to hang out with a couple of friends! BYE! :)

Eyeshadows, Shu Uemura, FOTD

So last Saturday I got my 120 count eyeshadow palette in, and 35 of them were broken! And the shipping took 2 weeks! It made me so mad! I emailed the person, and told them that my eyeshadow palette was broken. And they said that they would refund me. So everything is alright. I ordered another palette, but not from the same person, because they obviously cannot seem to package items correctly. I ordered it from my regular person, and I paid about 4 dollars more, which doesn't seem like much, but to me it is. Anyway, after I received the palette, I tried cleaning it up a little. But it was still a little messy. Lesson learned? Never purchase anything from Hong Kong! They have horrible shipping and no tracking, and it comes in broken! Here are some pictures of the broken palette:


I took a very small spoon, and scooped the broken shadows out, and placed them into tiny containers, so they are still useable! I love these colors because they are very pigmented, so they stay on, and they don't rub off! That was the reason why I purchased this palette.

What the palette looks like, when cleaned down, and the shadows put into little containers.
And here is my makeup collection, with the shadows in their own little containers. Don't they look cute? Haha. Anyway, I said I was going to do a Coffret D'or FOTD with my palette didn't I? Well I didn't get to do it yesterday, because when I got home there was a package waiting for me, from Sephora. And when I got it, I honestly could not remember purchasing anything from Sephora! I was kind of having a panic attack, but I got over it quickly, and opened the package, and guess who purchased something for me? My friend Christine! I was so surprised! But she bought me the Shu Uemura eyelash curler, because I was saying that mines isn't that good! So yay! Christine, if your reading this, Thank you!!! :)

This is the eyelash curler that she bought for me! :) I love it! It actually makes my eyelashes super curly! My other one from Target doesn't do anything.
This is my FOTD with my Coffret D'or palette in 05! I love the way it makes my eyes look. I was talking to my boyfriend when I took these pictures. He insisted that we talk on the phone. And when I told him, I tried my Coffret D'or palette, and I loved it, he demanded that I take pictures and send them to him via email! :)



And everyone has been asking me about Miracle Times America in San Gabriel, just to let you guys all know, it's not an online store and pick up. It's a small makeup boutique, I guess you can call it. And they have all sorts of very gorgeous Japanese makeup. I didn't get the name of the lady who helped me, but she was very friendly, and nice. She even helped me apply my makeup, and she wasn't rude like some people from Nordstrom. If you guys have any more questions about Miracle Times America, please let me know, either by emailing me or asking me via c-box! :)

Anyway, I'm going to go take a shower right now. I had a looooong day at work today! Haha, I will for sure post tomorrow, because tomorrow is my day off, I traded tomorrow off, for Sunday off!

Long lashes, Coffret D'or, and Pa nail polish!

Hi everyone! I know I said I was going to post about the vintage belts, that I stole from my mom, but I didn't like any of the pictures that I took with the belts. :( So I will try to do that one tomorrow! Sorry, if you were excited for my fashion post. Anyway, so today, I tried to make my lashes super long with mascara and black eyeliner.

1. I curl my eyelashes first.
2. Then what I do is I prime my eyelashes up with smashbox mascara primer.
3. Then I place my top coat of smashbox mascara on. A couple of swipes of mascara will be fine. I try to layer it on, so that way, the mascara will make my lashes look longer.
4. After that I place a clear coat of mascara with my Sephora Piink mascara. (For some reason, they don't sell this product at Sephora anymore??! They use to have a lot of their products, but not anymore)

Sometimes I use this trick on my lower lashes, I put an index card up to my lashes and I put the mascara on that way, you can see the mascara and what you are doing to it. My skin tone is dark, so I can't really see what progess I'm getting at, without an index card.

Lipgloss used: Philosophy in Kiss me.

And then your done! I don't have any pictures of the products I've used, because I'm lazy! Haha. I'm also thinking about doing a video with this look, because it's really helpful for people who want really long lashes. So should I? Haha.

So earlier today, (since it's already 4 in the morning) my parents decided to go to Rowling heights to get my brother's teeth fixed up. He recently got his wisdom teeth pulled out last week (ouch!) and I guess the dentist sewed up the back of his mouth, so that way the wound would heal correctly. When we were heading there, we hit so much traffic it was horrible! We drove past, and I think some people got into a car accident. My dad was all like, "Look at all those kids! Their the ones who are wreaking cars!" And I just sat in the back with my mp3 player in my ears. Haha.

Anyway so this is a picture of my parents in the front of the car.
The dentist's office. It's super nice and clean in there. Even though I hate going to the dentist!
After the dentist, we went to go eat at this little food court. And the place we were eating at didn't have any water, so I went across the food court and picked up some mango green tea! YUMMY! (Even though afterwards, I was regretting drinking so much tea, I had to go pee like 5 times at work!)
Before we actually started eating, I went to check out Takashima, it's this little store run by Chinese people. They were all super nice and sweet! The sales people were all very friendly, and at the end they even gave me a VIP card!
I picked up a Coffret D'or eyeshadow palette, in 05.
And some Pa nail polish! Because I love their nail polish! This one is glittery with circles!
There is no pictures of food, because as soon as the food came, everyone was eating like maniacs, except for my dad. He's a slow eater, but my mom, brother and me were eating like there was no tomorrow! Haha. Until next time, probably later today!

KATE EYESHADOWS!

I've been buying a lot of stuff left and right. I think if my boyfriend found out that I was buying so much stuff, I think he would get very mad at me. Haha. But it's okay, since it's my money that I'm spending and not his. Anyway, today was the gilt women's final sale. I woke up around 9AM to look at it, and everything was alright. I didn't see anything that really caught my eye. I was looking at twenty8twelve, but everything that was really pretty and nice was already taken! So sad! :(

So yesterday I decided to play dress up with my Marc Jacobs clothes that I got in last week. I love big belts, so of course I was trying some of my clothes with different items!
So today, I got my Kate gel eyeshadows in! They are so pretty! I don't want to touch them, or mess them up. OH well, I used them anyway! Haha! I purchased these off ebay, since they are cheaper on there, than any other place I've looked at them for. The place that I purchased them, said that they won't be getting in a shipment of these eyeshadows for another 2 weeks, but feel free to check them out anyway, here! :) And since they are located in California the shipping only took two days! So happy!

When the package came in, I just got home from work, so I simply ripped it open! This is what it looked like after I ripped open the packaging!
A picture of all the shadows that I purchased. Yes, that is Hello kitty on my screen. She is my icon! :)Me holding PU-1. Purple. The shades from left to right: PU-1, GY-1, BR-1, BG-1, GD-1, BR-2. The BR-1, and BR-2 look very alike. I can't even tell them apart. I thought that maybe one would be really dark, and the other one really light. So if your looking to purchase brown, just pick one or the other. I don't think it really matters. The shadows really really feel like jell-o! It's very crazy, because it's kind of hard to get them on the applicator, and I was trying very hard! The swatches from left to right: PU-1, GY-1, BR-1, BG-1, GD-1, BR-2. Without flashSwatches with flash. This is a picture of my eye, what it looked like with the colors, GY-1, BR-1, and GD-1 on it. I applied the GY-1 first, then I added a bit of BR-1 to the end of my upper eyeline, and then I applied GD-1 to the bottom my my eye. It makes my eyelashes shimmery too. :)

My eye open, so you can see the gold on my bottom eyelid.

What I look like with my makeup on. Well just the eyeshadows, and my lipgloss. I look so orange! That's because I took this picture in my bathroom, my room doesn't get good lighting, because I have this curtain, and I'm lazy to open it. Haha. My lips in my new lipgloss. Forgot to mention that I got a new lipgloss! Read on to find out what kind it is...
I got this Mac hello kitty lipgloss and a Mac eyeliner pencil in yesterday! It's because my Sephora Piink eyeliner is running out, and it was the best eyeliner I've ever had. :( I haven't had a chance to try this eyeliner out. It's way too pretty for me to mess with it!
It's in the color engraved. Which is like black.
My hello kitty lip gloss, in nice to be nice.
Hello kitty love!
I was digging around my mom's closet today, looking for old retro things to wear. She had some super cute belts, that I will be posting pictures up probably tomorrow! Some of them are very unique. She has this awesome blue snake skin belt! And I remember seeing it as a child. I think I glued some glitter on it at some point. But that's the point of having vintage things. Haha.

Yesterday, I purchased a bunch of pop beauty items and they should be coming in sometime next week?? Haha. And I will do my Jill Stuart jelly shadow compare, probably sometime next week, because the shadow hasn't shipped in yet. XP Anyway, hope you guys have an awesome day, and I will posting more stuff that I purchased soon!

Colors! :)

Hi! I'm kind of a little tired from work! I got up at 7AM to go to work this morning, and I got home around 3. Anyway, I forgot to post pictures of what I looked like with my blue eyeshadow makeup. I used my too faced eye palette, and my markwin eyeshadows. I got the markwin eyeshadows a loooonnng time ago, like back in highschool, from a classmate. I still use them once in a while, because I love the dark colors.

So yesterday I posted about the Tarte palette that I bought at Sephora, and today I did some swatches of the glosses and the eyeshadows!


The three glosses with flash. The one on the left is probably my favorite, because it has a pale coral pink color to it. The one in the middle, is more like a clear gloss with glitter, and the one on the right is more like a pale pink with glitter. The eyeshadow colors! From left to right: Purple, green, pale pink, bronze, blue, and pink. I really like the bronze color, it comes out looking very pretty!
With flash! I don't think pink colors go very well with my skin color because I'm dark! Haha.
Anyway, since everyone has litterly tagged me in this random survey, I will do it!

1. I can be crazy at times. But most of the time, I'm tired from work. I work a lot, and I go to school too, so I don't always feel like actually doing anything. Thats why I like going online and surfing the net!

2. Even though my parents are rich, they don't give me any money. I make my own money and I get to spend it whichever way I want. With my brother, he gets all the money he wants from my parents, but he doesn't work, so right now, he is pretty much broke!

3. I LOVE shopping! It's my number one hobby! I love finding bargains as well. I don't always buy everything at full price. Sometimes I do, but most of the time I try to buy things that are on sale. Hahaha.

4. I am a super clean freak! I hate it when I have a mess. Especially in my room! If my table looks slightly messy, I need to clean it! It's just the way that I am.

5. I can be lazy at times. I get really lazy whenever I'm sleepy, which is probably 75 percent of the time! So thats not a good thing...

6. During the fall to spring I love watching TV! But I seriously love watching TV on my laptop. Because its just easier. :D

7. My laptop has gotten a little dirty. I haven't really cleaned it in a couple weeks, but it's okay because when I open it up, the screen is a little smudgy, but I just ignore it when I open it. Hahaha. OMG, I'm soooo bad! I should clean my laptop right now!

8. I have a lot of Juicy Couture jewelry. One time I was at a party and I was drinking a little too much, and I lost one of my Juicy earrings, so of course I had to buy another pair. Their the heart ones, and one of the say Juicy and the other one says Couture on them. Such a sad day for me. :(

9. I've never EVER done any types of drugs. Honestly, the only drug I have ever done, is probably alcohol but since that's a legal drug, it's ok! Haha. I've never done any serious types of drugs!

10. I like taking pictures. All the time! But not of my fat! I wish I could lose weight, but all the weight I've managed to lose is in my legs, and butt! I haven't lost any weight in my arms! Or tummy!

I tag my lovely readers:

And anyone else who wants to do this! DO IT! And let me know if you did it, because I love reading everyone's responses! :)

And I bought 6 of the 8 Kate gel eyeshadows. Their suppose to be like the Jill Stuart jelly eyeshadows, but with less options in colors. I got them in blue/green, light bronze, dark bronze, purple (to go with my new marc jacobs lavender top! Haha.), grey, and gold. They should be coming in sometime this week, if not next week. I didn't order the pink one, because pink does not go good with my dark skin tone. I would be bummed out if I purchased it, and I tried it on, and it didn't make me stand out! Haha. The place I bought them from didn't have white, so I'm looking to purchase the Jill Staurt one instead. So I'm probably going to compare them once all of the colors come in! Their only shipping from LA, and since I live in LA, it should be coming soon! I will totally do a major haul, with other stuff that I bought online probably sometime this week!

And by the way, I won Lindah's giveaway! SO YAY! This is the first time, I've ever won anything ever. Haha. I know, but I'm really excited! :)
