Not beauty related at all, but I had to post it.

First I want to give my regards and prayers to the families and loved ones who had lost someone from the tsunami in Japan; as for the victims who had suffered injuries or passed away in an unfortunate way, I believe you are all in a better place; please rest in peace.

NEXT, My roomate and I had purchased two bunnies. Mine is a Lionhead named Mochii and hers is a Holland Lopp names Tokii.

Meet Mochii

and meet Tokii

Okay, so supposedly, my little Mochii is a bully and harasses Tokii all the time. She goes in his cage and eats his food and plays with his toys instead of hers. I am currently at work right now, and she sends me pictures via text of how Mochii likes to scheme.

Our bunnies love it when the heat comes on the vent. As you can see, Tokii was there first, and Mochii is watching Tokii on the vent.
Now we can see Mochii's attempt at pushing Tokii off the vent.

Well pushing Tokii did not work, so she found her solution: Lay on top untill he moves.


That is all :)

My new purchase

The boyfriend was very generous and purchased the foundation for me that I had wanted. I love the M.U.F.E HD, but I am excited to try this product out!  The CHANEL MAT LUMIÈRE. The formula seems rich and the texture seems velvety. It has SPF 15 and it's supposed to be a long wear medium to full coverage foundation that helps keep your face oil free and matte. I love matte finishes so there seems to be a lot of positives to this foundation. There is a smell to this foundation, but its not very strong. I can't really describe the smell, I want to say a light sweet floral perfume scent, but it does not bother me at all. I will do an updated review after I have tried the foundation out for a period of time. I purchased it for $54.00 at a nearby Nordstrom.

E.L.F Mineral Lipstick Swatches

So as I mentioned from a previous post, E.L.F's (eyes lips face) Mineral Lipsticks are moisturizing and well-pigmented. However, they are not true to color on their website. I do not have all of them, but i do have five to swatch for anyone who is considering in purchasing them to maybe help your decision in choosing a color. I really hope my camera is doing justice for these lipsticks.

Bored in the AM of a Sunday night -_-

I hate Mondays. I am bored. It's Sunday night at 1:20am and I have absolutely nothing to do and look forward to so why not update a blog post :D I really enjoy reading others blog posts. I just started blogspot earlier this week and I loveees it. Unfortunately, I am at my parents house tonight and all my cosmetics are at my house, so I can't take pictures of the beauty product I was trying to review -_- So since I'm bored, I'm going to post up pictures of  myself and few of  favorite people :D

For My Dry Winter Skin

For some annoying reason, my skin decided to be extra dry and irritating this winter. I've used several different types of body lotions and it still didn't help. I decided to step up my game and use body creams. I bought two body creams from Victoria's Secret, and I LOVEE THEM. It's from their PINK label. One is called Sweet & Flirty, the other Pretty & Pure. They are very moisturizing and the fragrance of both are wonderful. The texture is smooth creamy and not too thick. I hate body creams that are too thick; takes way too long to spread it out evenly. The smell sticks with you all day. I would tell you how they smell, but it's hard to explain. It's like a perfume-ish fruity smell. The Pretty & Pure one has a weaker smell than the Sweet & Flirty. The bottle says it's $12.00 each, but I think I got it when they had specials after Christmas so I can't remember how much I had paid for them.

I recommend this product :)

Urban Decay Naked Palette

MY HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT FOR EYESHADOWS!
NEUTRALS NEUTRALS NEUTRALS
perfect for the smokey brown eye look

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PALETTE MORE THAN ANY OTHER EYE SHADOWS I OWN. THIS PALETTE SHITS ON THE COASTAL SCENTS PALETTES. I LOVE GLORIA for buying this for me. This is the only palette I want to use now. I neglect my other eye shadows. All of the shadows are pigmented, smooth, and blendable; with or without an eyeshadow primer. LOVEEE IT. It's hard to get your hands on because they are never in stock. You have to keep checking cosmetic and urban decay websites daily. Good luck finding it :)

My trip to ULTA this past week

Quyen and I took a trip to ULTA and I LOVE THE PRODUCTS I HAVE PURCHASED: Urban Decay De slick$29, Cargo Blu-Ray Pressed Powder$30

So Skindinavia makes products such as finish sprays and setting sprays. I guess they made a line with urban decay because I noticed urban decays setting sprays had Skindinavia written on them. So I knew Urban Decay had an all nighter spray, but I saw that they had a mattifying spray also. Of course I rather have a controlled t-zone than have my make up last forever, besides the mattifying spray also said the make up will last for 16hrs, which is false. Anyways, it might not last for 16 hrs but I did spray it on my face after before and after foundation and it seemed to help control the oil. It might have been with the combination of the new powder I got also.
$29.00
They have sprays to: set, for a Dewey appearence. and to moisturize.

I am not sure if it's the spray alone that's controlling my oil from the t-zone area or if its my foundation routine period.

This is my foundation routine:

  1. Moisturize with a face lotion
  2. Prime my face with the smashbox photo finish primer
  3. Spray de slick 3 times
  4. Use my makeup forever HD liquid foundation
  5. Under eye concealer (if needed)
  6. Use cargo blu-ray powder to set my foundation and concealer if used
  7. Spray de slick 2 more times
$36$29
$40$30
