I need high ceilings!

I JUST got back from Vegas not too long ago with about 11 others. I had the best weekend.

We stayed one night at Excalibur and two nights at the Venetians...had a blast!

We hit up TAO, LAVO, JET, and XS night clubs....of course, our hangover food of choice was Pho haha.

Anyways, I just wanted to show y'all some of my outfits that I wore...I would love to put the entire photo up but I didn't ask my friends for permission to post them, soooo I cropped them out.


I'm sooo loving the idea of shorts and ankle boots, I think it looks really chic. Not only that, but its really comfortable, so you don't have to worry about your feet hurting or your undies showing by the end of the night.

Alright, obviously I have been MIA for.............ever? hehe, SORRY! But I just finished my last week of the semester and I'm so thrill because now I have all the time in the world to blog blog blog...until school starts again.

Anyways I was bored one day and decided to go to Rite Aid to see if there were any cosmetic sales going on, and Wet N' Wild cosmetics were marked 40%.......pretty predictable from here...

The first is an eyeshadow trio Mega Eyes in Egyptian Sands.



1. The retail price for this trio is around $2.99. Rite Aid was having 40% off and I ended up paying $1.79 =)

2. The three colors are pretty pigmented, but all three are shimmery, no matte colors =/

3. It comes with a set look, with imprints on each shadows: "browbone" "crease" and "lid"

4. You also get a pull out mirror in which I failed to catch on camera

5. Overall its a really good trio for its price, comes with a convenient pull out mirror for easy use. I highly recommend you try this, esp. if theres a bogo at your local drugstore.

The next product is a lipstick. I believe Wet N' Wild carries two types of lipsticks? (correct me if I'm wrong)..... one of the lippy collection has a squared-like packaging, and the one I bought is round =) It is in #501B, I don't see a name for it.


In the above pic, I'm wearing the lipstick over a Makeup Forever lipliner in 18C.

1- These retail for 0.99 cents and I paid 0.59 cents from the 40% sale

2. These lipsticks smell AMAZING! I have issues explaining smell but trust me, they smell GOOD

3. Its a matte lipstick with a gloss finish

4. A little drying, may sink into the fine lines and appear crackly (my tip, fill your lips with a liner as a base)

5. Overall I do recommend these lipsticks, esp. this color, if you're into bright "coral-ly" pinks. I can't argue with the price =) I will def. try out their other colors.

The only Wet N' Wild items that I've ever owned were their eyeliners. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the above products, I think the quality are fantastic, the packaging is pretty sturdy, and the price is amazing. Two thumbs up!

My lopsided pizza! My best friend had a pizza party the other week and she basically provided the dough and cheese while guests bring their own toppings and we all made pizza together. It was so much fun, I wanted to make more pizzas at home.

So here is the first try, I obviously did not have the right size pan? Whatever, it was still amazingly delicious.

Just wanted to share with you guys my messy lil vanity. I have a simple mirror that I use, on top of a cute little drawer ($5 at Big Lots). Nothing too fancy. I actually bought the huge triple sided light vanity mirror from ULTA but it was just NOT working out hehe.

I like to switch up my makeup once in a while. I usually take the makeup I'm going to wear the following day out of my makeup case and place them on my vanity, so when I wake up in the mornings, its all out there.....5 min makeup and ready to head out.


A page I tore out from Women's Health magazine on recipes for healthy food. That pasta dish looked so yummy, I wanted to make it. Haven't done so yet, but I'm sure its delicious. I have plenty of random pages I tear off from magazines and I throw them everywhere on my desk. Thats how I do. =p

Have a fantastic halloween!

From left to right, RED FULL STOP (fall trend '09)- SURPRISE ME (holiday '09)- CREME CUP (permanent?) i also spelled it wrong in the pic =/



I only did a close up of Red Full Stop, because after that application, my lips instantly dried up and got all crackly =/, so I'm just adding a full pic for each l/s.

I got a dazzleglass in SHE-ZAM (holiday '09) and a dazzleglass cream in MY FAVORITE PINK (dazzleglass cream collection)


Both are amazingly creamy and smooth....NO STICKINESS! love love love.


Here are the products inside that box I posted about a while back. MAC's LOOK IN A BOX kit in SEDUCTRESS. If you're in search of the 181, MAC has a new mineralized skin finished kit out that comes with the mini kabuki ($59).

I'm not exactly sure about the irridescent pressed powdered (BELIGHTFUL) yet, it's pretty shimmery and I'm going to give it a try for a couple of weeks and do a review on it.


If I can suggest a lip product for you to try, it'd be Mac's slim shine in BARE. I love the slim packaging, the vanilla scent (like all MAC lip products), and the glossy finish that it provides (so no need for a lipgloss). Its a neutral color that almost anyone can wear. Again, small packaging that'll fit nicely in your hangbag, and a great color for everyday wear.



Hooray to the CCO! Got my Henna eyeshadow(from Brunette Blond Redhead 2008 collection) for around 10 bucks and the Moss Scape paint pot for 11 bucks! I'm thinking that the outstand-ish color this season is purple (seeing so many purple looks lately, on youtube AND in magazines), but for me, I'm loving my greens =D, especially those dirty looking shades.


Moss Scape was discontinued in 2008, I think, but its such a lovely color so I'm very excited I found it.

Alright, if you can't get your hands on Fly-By-Blu pearlglide, give NYX's Sapphire eyeliner a try, its not exactly the same, NYX does not have the chunky glitters, but I think the colors are pretty close, NYX being a tad bit darker but hey, its $2.00.

My Estee Lauder purchases. By far the BEST smelling lip products I've ever sniffed! LOL. Pinkberry (left) was a free gift. Rose Honey (middle) Pink Glaze (right).
The orange on the left is a lipliner from Makeup Forever in 18C, I forgot to take a picture of it. I think it'll look amazing with Red Full Stop.


My lovely Kat Von D palette. I already have a post on this, so scroll down if you're interested =D

I have left out my MAC holiday eyeshadow palette in Devil May Dare because there is also, already a post on it so check down there if you want. That's all! Have a greaaat weekend!

I have read many reviews on MAC's 2009 holiday collection and yes there are a lot of dupes for almost everything, however, I still LOVE it! and if I could, I would buy everything from that collection, so I don't care what anyone says.

This year, they gave us a lot of nice kits and variables to choose from. This palette caught my eyes because of the bottom olive/gold color (Prankster) and the top middle pink/flesh color (Dare Ya!). Overall I would give this palette a 9/10, 1 point taken away for the price, of course.


This is the look I came up with, pretty neutral, easy to wear. I'll be playing around with the other colors as well.

Do you like my long arm? haha, I thought it was funny. Anyways, accessories haul! I didn't feel like making an accessories video so i'll dedicated it to this blog =D

Charlotte Russe jewelries 2/$8....I got one thing for myself and another for a friend. How cheap is that? Three pairs of earrings for $4!


Earrings from Forever21 for $3.80, I love floral earrings!


Strawberry necklace from Forever21 for $4.80
What else do you notice about this pic? haha, don't you just wanna hug him to death? hehe


Floral pearl necklace from Forever21, $6.80 I believe.

I needed a necklace one night when i was at my friend's house because we were going out or something, I can't remember, but we just drove to the mall and I just ran into JC Penney and picked up whatever looked decent lol, and to my surprise, it is one of my most worn necklace to date. $11.00 more or less.
There is this local jewelry store near my house called Ella Bella and they have amazing jewelries, not to mention amazing deals! I got this set with a necklace and earrings for only $11.00! Again with the floral, i'm on a floral kick this season.

My dog wants out, haha. Can you spot him?

I love the layering effect, it gives your look so much more, what does Tyra call it?, UMPH?? haha, anyways, have a great day guys!
