FOTD & Another 'Haul.' (:

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've just been busy with work and enjoying the rest of my summer. I have a couple of reviews and stuff lined up but by the time I get home from work, it's too dark to take nice pictures, or I'm just too lazy, haha.

Also, lately I've been feeling like my make-up is not on point, and that nothing comes together how I want it to. I should practice more, cause it seems like everytime I try something I end up with a 'what the hell did I do to my face' look, and then I just get frustrated and give up. :/

Here's a simple look I did the other day:

Used:
Eyes:
MAC Soft Ochre p/p
L'Oreal HiP Duo in Wicked (gold side used all over the lid)
MAC Espresso e/s (used in outer V and crease)
Annabelle Ebony e/s (matte black used wet as liner & to fill in brows)
Maybelline Clear Great Lash (on brows)
Urban Decay's Ransom e/s (on lowerlash line)
Wet n' Wild Glow e/l (on lower waterline)
Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

Cheeks:
Jane Be Pure Mineral Blush in Rose Satin
NYC Chroma Faceglow in Moonstone (as highlight on cheek)

Lips:
MAC Bare Slimshine

(Sorry about the sweaty pictures, I took this after I came home from playing basketball :D)

Yesterday me and my family went to Niagara Falls, and I went to the Coach Factory there. They had 2 bags that I wanted to pick up, but my sister had got me one of them in the States for me already for a birthday present, so I just picked this little baby up:

I know I'm on a 'No Buy.' But I feel like I can't cut out buying things completely, but I have cut down from spending ridiculous amounts of money like I used to do. I think I'm gradually going to cut down, but I feel like I should treat myself once in a while instead of being so frugal with everything. I'm happy cause I haven't blown my paycheck like I usually do!

Ohh, and on Monday I'm going to do a little beauty investigation. I'm actually really interested in this, I'm not going to give you any details, but it should be interesting, haha - as stupid as this sounds right now.

Till later! (:

P.S - Thank you to all my followers, new & old, I love knowing that people are interested in my blog, and I love finding new blogs to read also! (:

Green With Envy

I've been working the past couple days so I haven't really had the chance to do anything. I need to finally get up and get started on that job hunting, I shouldn't put it off for too long..

Yesterday after work I started playing around with make-up and I wanted to do something with green, cause I've never done a green look before. This is what I came up with:

Used:
UDPP
MAC Soft Ochre p/p
88 matte & satin palette
88 shimmer palette
Annabelle Ebony e/s (matte black in outer V)
Annabelle Cloudy e/s (as a highlight)
Coastal Scents e/s sample in Spirit (in tearduct)
MAC Blacktrack f/l
L'Oreal Voluminous mascara
Annabelle eye kohl in Caledon (on waterline)

Once again, I'm really sorry for the quality of the photos. My camera still works (the one that my sister broke), but I can't see what I'm taking on the back on the LCD, or see what photos I took, or even what settings I'm using to take the pictures. :/ And it sucks butt because I've been playing with make-up alot daily, and it sucks that I can't take pictures ):

Anyways, my sister is leaving for Virginia tomorrow so I'm trying to think of beauty related things that she could bring back for me that I can't get in Canada. Do you guys have any suggestions of anything? I'm at a lost right now cause I have no idea what.

But the number one thing on my list is a Coach Carly Signature Hobo bag:

I'm not really a bag person, usually when I go out I just put my cards or cash or whatever into my Coach wristlet.

But, now I need to carry my glucometer, insulin pen and all that, and I can't really fit that into my wristlet. So I'm looking for a cute big shoulder bag, and the Coach one caught my eye.

Originally, I wanted to get it from the Coach Factory in Niagra Falls, but when I called to ask if they had it in stock, they said they didn't and that there was a 40 people waiting list for it, and that they randomly get it in and don't know when they will next get one.

I haven't called Coach stores closer to me, cause I didn't really wanna pay retail for it (around $390 + 13% tax). So I'm going to ask my sister to see if she can find it in the States. Fingers crossed, hopefully she can, I really want it!

Till later guys! (:
