<br />
You know when all good things come to an unfortunate end, something good always blooms after it? I guess this is a similar situation. I've been writing Every Girl's Little Addition for three years now and it has definitely been a great and rewarding experience for me. Unfortunately I feel as though to the fault of myself, I have many followers who simply followed me for giveaway requirements and did not actually read my blog on a regular basis. I guess now I understand that having a lot of followers doesn't validate the quality of my blog at all. Therefore, I have decided to end this blog and start something new from scratch.<br />
<br />
There's no need to sound so pessimistic; I have actually decided to start a new blog! Again, it will be makeup oriented, but will have more of a personal twist. I guess another reason why I decided to let go of this blog all together was because I was somewhat less mature three years ago than I am now, and I'm undoubted somewhat ashamed of the poor grammar, haha.<br />

PS. This time I swore to myself that I will keep posted. The idea of people following me from this blog to my new one is extremely warming and deeply encouraging. See you at the new blog!Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683070703769719470noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495295108986685093.post-2941043085132819072012-05-06T23:53:00.001-04:002012-05-06T23:53:45.250-04:00Massive Haul: NARS/Shiseido + Lisa's Cosmetics Warehouse Sales<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello ladies! It has really been a long time no talk. Not trying to give excuses or anything, but my family has been recently moving houses and I'm surprised there's just so much to do. Changing addresses, moving everything, connecting internet... etc. The other half of reason for not posting was just that I've gotten lazy; I sort of fell off the posting bandwagon and just didn't catch back on. Alright enough of that, the important thing is that I'm here now right? :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're a long time reader, you'd know I'm a huge warehouse sale go-er! The month of May has been wonderful to me so far; blessing me with both the NARS/Shiseido Warehouse Sale AND the Lisa's Cosmetics Sale all at the same time! Here's just a quickie background on the sales: Shiseido is a 3 day sale with Friday being invite only and Sat/Sun being open to public. Lisa's happens for three consecutive weekends and is always open to the public. These sales are both in Markham, Ontario (just where my parents happen to live, teehee) and offer crazy discounts! I went to Lisa's on Tuesday and Friday and Shiseido on Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little Math:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent about $80 at the Shiseido Sale and about $70 at the Lisa's Sale which totals to $150, but all this stuff would've cost me $450 retail!

Lastly, here are some photos I took while waiting in line! The first picture was about 30 minutes into the line, and the second was 1.5 hours later just before I got inside. As you can see, there were easily a few hundred people waiting in line before it even began! I thought I was crazy for going at 7:30 when the sale opens at 9. Guess I wasn't the only one!</div>

So as I write this post amidst a January snowstorm in Toronto, I'm posting about a look inspired by the warm gorgeousness I experienced in the Bahamas during Christmas! The sun, blue skies and clear waters were pretty much behind this look. It's been ridiculously long since I've posted a look so here you are! As tons of you guys are super nice and flatter me so much when you say you like my FOTDs!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7554.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7554.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7561.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7561.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7558.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7558.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7563.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7563.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7565.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7565.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7567.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7567.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Okay, maybe I bombarded you guys with pictures just a bit.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Face:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Foundation Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Matchmaster Foundation (This stuff looks good on camera!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Makeup Forever</b> Full Cover Concealer</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Skinfood</b> Peach Sake Powder</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Cheeks:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Sertao Blush</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7543.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7543.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7544.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7544.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Eyes:</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Smudgeproof Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Sea Me Shadestick</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Wet and Wild</b> Pride Palette</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Annabelle</b> Shadow in Laguna</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Eyeshadows in Strike a Pose, Femme Fi and Deep Truth</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Forever 21</b> Love & Beauty Cream Liner in Black</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Estee Lauder</b> Lash Primer and Bold Volume Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Revlon</b> Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Partial to Pink Cremesheen Glass</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That is it for my blues!

I know, it's been so long that the "New Post" button feels so unfamiliar to me. Long story short, I just got caught up on some major assignments and then went on vacation; Yay! I'm going to do another post on the vacation itself but I wanted to share with you the bit of goodies I got during Winter Break. I went for a nine day trip which included a seven night cruise! It was to the Bahamas and that place is gorgeous beyond words. Anyways, haul!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7468.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_7468.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Goodies!

This foundation is really cool because it's supposed to adapt to your undertones and it does actually do that.

Errrr, well maybe not. Dang that mid-week crisis. So anyway, I've been bad once again, but mentioned to gather a little something to put for the blog! By the way, who else watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show yesterday? I swear every time I watch the show, I always feel a sudden need to go on some crazy diet, but oh wells! I'll never grow to be six-feet tall! The other day I found some time to throw together some teal eyebawls before going out to dinner and they turned out surprisingly okay so I took some photos for y'alls!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6748.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6748.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6750.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6750.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Products Used:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base</div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever Aqua Cream #2</div><div style="text-align: center;">Joe Fresh Eyeshadow in Gold Rush</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Teal Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;">Forever 21 Love & Beauty Black Gel Liner (surprisingly awesome for only $1.50!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever Smoky Lash Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/priscilla.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 366px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/priscilla.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My friend Priscilla recently had an interview for a full scholarship for a course at a local beauty school, so she asked me to go the makeup and hair!

(Super Pic Heavy)<div style="text-align: center;">On a lovely Saturday morning, my Mommy Bear and I decided to venture off to the Toronto Congress Centre for IMATS! It's my first time going this year and it was pretty different from what I expected. Unfortunately, I went a little bit later so I didn't see too many familiar faces! But heck, it was still awesome. The venue was huge, completely stuffed with people and I almost felt a little intimidated by the obscene amount of people inside! I met some really nice people, but not without some with pretty bad attitudes. The sale prices were rather luscious, especially Makeup Forever at 40% off! Overall, I had quite a nice time and will definitely return next year! Did you go to IMATS? If you did, I wanna see! Link me to your blog or tell me what you got in the comments below!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I took a ton of pictures! I chose a few good ones to show you how the experience was!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6689.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6689.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">At the front outside the show! I felt so awkward taking this photo because there were two other girls right next to us! But anyways, the venue was huge and took a while just to see all the booths!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6695.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6695.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the Crown Brush booth, and honestly, I wanted to buy some nice inexpensive brushes but really did NOT want to wait in line for ages just to pay! Also, despite the fact that Crown Brushes were good quality, I didn't really see something I was dying to have. Oh well!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6694.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6694.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">At Dinair Airbrush Makeup, the cutest model was getting airbrushed! I knew I wanted to make a purchase here, so I stood for a good 10 minutes watching her get her arms did! The airbrush is super cool and she's really sweet, so she let me take a bunch of pictures of her makeup. Can you tell the pattern on her hair is AIRBRUSHED? Wow!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6696.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6696.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the NYX Booth, and OMG... I could not even get close to those products. By the time I was there, the line up to pay was already wrapped around the ridiculously huge booth! They had their full range there so I guess that's why people were going crazy. But NYX isn't expensive to begin with, and Cherry Culture always has discounts so that's why I didn't bother! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6712.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6712.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom getting her lips done by one of the ladies at Dinair!

Can you believe that's all she takes on set? She really emphasized on how important it is to condense your kit, ways to better organize palettes, and what essential items to have in your artist kit. I stood there watching her up front for a good 45 minutes! Out of all the booths, I actually learned a ton from her. She doesn't win Emmys for nothing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6706.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6706.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Eve was showing us how to reverse contour.

I think the difference is quite lovely! She's got really nice skin to begin with, and Eve made her look younger, fresher and fierce! I watched her makeover from beginning to end, and the whole thing (with tons of talking) took only 25 minutes!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6698.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6698.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the Naked Cosmetics Booth, they had some really nice selections of glitters and pigments for quite a cheap price, but I felt like I have too many already.

I'll admit, I felt a little star struck to see him, but I didn't hesitate and asked for a photo. He's such a sweetie! I was like...

The samples for the products were on display at the side, and you write the products down on a sheet of paper for them to pack it up for you. The most hyped up product must've been the HD Foundation, but I've already got mine and it's my love!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/coolthings.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 300px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/coolthings.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">A bunch of cool looking makeup on models!

However, I'm glad I waited to purchase it here because I saved a ton from shipping and handling, plus learned a few airbrushing tips at the show. My Mom actually purchased this for me as a birthday gift! It came with 5 shades of foundation, a moist and dewy primer, the cleaner, compressor, airbrush gun, and a sample of their AWESOME concealer.

I originally wanted Crown Brushes, but these ones are better! Trust me! Nothing at Crown Brush really surprised me since as a makeup junkie, I already have lots of brushes. But these are literally the same brush as the MAC ones! I know both the dual fiber brushes are identical to the MAC 130 and 131.

Well really, it's been almost two months. The honest reason? I had the my most stuffed semester yet and just lacked energy to do anything. No furreals, I've been going to school, going to the gym, snuggling the boy, eating, sleeping, repeating. I really missed writing on the blog, especially since it's like my past time and getting feedback isn't so bad either! It hit me that I haven't posted for a while when I logged on to Blogger, and saw that I last posted on September 17... WTF. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well anyways, I conquered mid-terms with some bad ass marks and I've got the dark circles to prove it! The point is that I'm back and will post again! Right now is my favourite time of the year because my birthday is in 5 days and Christmas is coming soon! I'm going on a 9 day cruise this year so I can't wait till Christmas.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I felt guilty so...</i></div></i><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6636.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6636.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6672.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6672.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6662.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6662.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6678.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6678.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I look rather awkward cause it's been a while since I camwhored!</i></div></i><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Face:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever HD Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever HD Foundation</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bobbi Brown Loose Power</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cheeks:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Albatross Highlighter</div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Laguna Bronzer</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Earth to Earth Mineralized Blush</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6666.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6666.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6667.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6667.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyebawls: </b></div></b><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Snudgeproof Eyeshadow Base</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Naked Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Wedge, Knight Divine, & Shroom Eyeshadows</div><div style="text-align: center;">NYX Black Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;">ELF Black Cream Liner</div><div style="text-align: center;">Annabelle Smudgeliner in Ohmygoth!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Loreal Million Lashes Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: center;">Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve (My New LOVE!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i>On another note....</i></div></i><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzG5L84jzTaZrH1wHyOXQHi7MbFDMOSclK9JW5XEkFpbdJGE1A44JjazNom_oSJ8y1H4mpbYkXsEM8YMal1zfGlew5q2LQKJbEei3L0lQ7h4oxtUx6GgPikpBry5uBY8GT3bdkzTHy8tkr/s1600/1443_IMATS_Toronto_2011_265px.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 161px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzG5L84jzTaZrH1wHyOXQHi7MbFDMOSclK9JW5XEkFpbdJGE1A44JjazNom_oSJ8y1H4mpbYkXsEM8YMal1zfGlew5q2LQKJbEei3L0lQ7h4oxtUx6GgPikpBry5uBY8GT3bdkzTHy8tkr/s400/1443_IMATS_Toronto_2011_265px.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673551502190332722" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm going to <u><b><i>IMATS!</i></b></u> I'm actually so excited because I've never been to one before, and always hear stories from fellow Torontorian beauty bloggers about how amazing this event is!

I bet most of you are out and about on this lovely Saturday night. Me, on the other hand am staying home cause I've already got a huge analysis project due soon. Fun way to spend Saturday night! Well, the first half of today was actually awesome, and I'll let you know why. I'm sure by now you're aware that I'm at least a little bit (not) of a makeup junkie, and that I've more than enough blush to cover a small village. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">However my obsessions have recently shifted towards more of a, nasal type of beauty. Perfume is nothing strange to me because my Mommy is a self-proclaimed perfume addict, who often suffers from withdrawal from forgetting to spray on her lovely Jean Paul Gaultier in the morning. Therefore having some of her genes, I decided I wanted something of my own.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6492.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6492.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom and I ventured off to the closest Chanel counter and each picked out something we wanted! Mom picked the <b>Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum</b> because she felt like it completely suited her age group and had the perfect amount of spice and femininity for her. I chose the <b>Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette</b> because of it's fresher, younger scent, and how it last ALL DAY. (I tried on a sample before)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6493.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6493.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Chanel Coco Eau de Parfum</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mom's been an avid collector of Perfume for years, but she didn't have Coco.

But really, Coco's even got me swooning with it's awesomeness, and I'd probably wear it if I were more mature.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6494.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6494.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6495.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6495.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Chanel Chance Eau de Toilette</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This was my choice because I wanted to try Chanel fragrances for a long time, but thought anything but Coco Mademoiselle or Chance was too mature.

I hope all of my fellow students had a lovely first week back at school! Mine was alright, still getting used to early classes in the morning! Anyway, since the time I have in the morning is limited, I was looking for a solution to get my hair done. Quick. My hair is naturally straightish with some random kinks and doesn't look good when I don't straighten it because the hair around my face curls! When I thought of quick curls, hot rollers immediately came to my mind since I could easily leave them in while I do makeup to save time. So I ran to my local Walmart and picked these out! It's the Conair Super Jumbo Roller Set, which I think is ideal for getting cute, fast, on the go curls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6488.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6488.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Conair Jumbo and Super Jumbo Roller Set</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This comes in a set of 12 rollers (8 Jumbo 1", 4 Super Jumbo 1.5") which is enough for all your hair. I've got super thick hair and it's enough for me, so it should cover most people. It also comes with the roller pin holders, which doesn't always hold the roller in. Clips are your best bet! I usually leave these in for 30 minutes or until completely cooled so the curls retain their shape for longer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6489.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6489.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Conair Jumbo Roller</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6491.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6491.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Conair Super Jumbo Roller</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Pros:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">1.

I don't know about you, but my boyfriend hates it when I'm wearing lip products (<b>Justin + Dazzleglasses = DISASTER</b>) and the little glitter particles end up all over his face when I plant a big ol' wet kiss on his cheek. The next step after that? Violent rubbing on his face to protect his manhood (well, so his friends don't see), and refusing to let me kiss him unless I wipe it all off. </div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6421.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6421.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter Cover Girl's Outlast Lip Stain. I was strolling through my local Walmart a couple days ago and this came to me. Why had I never thought about lip stain? Therefore, I decided to try one and picked this out. I've heard it's supposed to last for hours and provide a nice, NONSTICKY colour. Let's be honest, it actually doesn't. I tried this for a nice yesterday and tada! No transferring, the colour lasted until I got home, and all I needed to do was reapply a lip balm from drying it out. </div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6425.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6425.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain in Plum Pout</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the lipstain in full force on my hand, although I do prefer a lighter application so I apply the marker on my lips and then blend it out with my ring finger. This creates a nice berry stain, which also feels light weight and my hair doesn't stick onto it in the wind! </div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6434.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 297px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6434.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Plum Pout Alone on Lips</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's conclude. I really love this product, and I certainly think it's boyfriend proof. You can kiss them, and literally nothing transfers onto their lips or faces! Don't hesitate to give these a try; they're only about 8$ a pop and you can find them at pretty much any drugstore. </div><div style="text-align: center;">

The level of effort it takes to create a blog post is far higher than it seems, therefore, I reserve the right to remain <strong>ANGRY</strong> at the fact that <strong>my content got stolen!</strong> And copied on another blog! While earning them luuux points! <strong>PRETTY MUCH EARNING THEM FREE IPHONES AND CAMERAS AND CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTINS ON LUUUX</strong>. For the past six months!
<br />
<br />This pathetic human being literally copied my blog posts, and pictures, and name, and city of orgin, and my FACE and pretended being me on their very own luuux account so they can earn points for "their" content. Their profile consisted of a photo of MY EYE as their profile picture, my name as their name, the city where I'm from, and also managed to gain a few followers while pretending to be me.
<br />
<br />The sadder thing is, they've been so lazy that they literally took all of my blog posts,<strong> copied and pasted the content</strong> and photos to make a post of their own. Then taking complete credit for all the work. <strong>Here's proof</strong>:

<br /><em>Their complete profile... OH THAT EYE LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGS TO SOMEONE WE KNOW....
<br />
<br /></em>So lazy that they didn't even bother changing the name of the titles! Oh, and the even more outragous thing they decided to do was take credit for more than just writing the posts and taking the photos. More proof:

<br />Oh yeah, <strong>pretending like you made my nail polish rack too?</strong> Bitch, I remember making it all by myself. Oh, just as an FYI, get your time zones right. I'm never awake at 4:02 AM, ever.

<br />I went on a spending ban for two months, and this is what they replied, FOR ME! <strong>I was the one who didn't spend! Stop pretending to be me! </strong>Last time I checked, I don't repeat my o's, a's, d's or p's. So no, I guess it's safe to say that's NOT how I type. It just infuriates me that this girl goes to such measures just to steal my stuff and use my name.

<br />Girlfriend's first post dates back to <strong>February 5th</strong>! That's FIVE whole months plagarizing the crap out of my blog! Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have known if I wasn't googling MAC Warehouse Sale Hauls, and stumbled accross MY OWN pictures, WITHOUT me even knowing!

<br />Females from Toronto, Ontario? A Gazillion. Named Erica Cho? Probably plenty. But shares the same face as me? Not possible unless my mom hid my identical twin away since birth.

<br />I suspect Girlfriend's real name is <strong><em>Jade Nguyen</em></strong>. Probably because she kinda failed by including this on her profile URL? Please girl, just get your own content.
<br />
<br />The point of this post is not to bash her or anything, but is to ask all my fellow sistas to help me and report her posts. You can understand how terrible it is for me and my personally written content to be stolen, taken credit for and profited by other people.
<br />
<br /><strong>Here's the link to Miss Jade Nguyen's Phony Page:</strong>

<br />Please, go <strong>report </strong>her posts! I suspect she's been ripping off the content of other bloggers too because of her pages and pages of posts.
<br />
<br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">PS: This post may seem kind of out of character and mean of me, but I'm truly hurt because I work hard on my blog, and am heartbroken to see my hard work being plagarized.

It was all stuffed into four days which was a little rushed, but it was definitely a great opportunity to shop like mad and catch a break from the madness in July. Anyways, I dropped by three different CCOs: <b>The Crossings, Woodbury Commons, and Waterloo Premium Outlets!</b> This time around I was a little disappointed with the CCO selection of stuff, but I guess the shoes and clothing selection makes up for it :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>DKNY Be Delicious Minis</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">SO ADORABLE! This set is just cute, to say the least. Be Delicious smells like fresh fruit on a hot summer day, and it's a great everyday school perfume to wear. Plus, these minis are the exact same bottle as the full sized Be Delicious perfume except tiny! I got these at the Woodbury Commons CCO!</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Wet and Wild Trio and Singles</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've got Wet and Wild back at home, but I couldn't find these specific singles and the duo! I'll admit, I got Penny and Nutty because they looked like dupes of stuff in my current collection, but they're SUPER PIGMENTED. I remember back in the middle school age, wet and wild was just the cheap stuff. Now, it's still cheap, but flipping amazing! I got these at the Walgreens in Times Square, when the sweetest boy told me I was pretty! :D</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC Free to Be Eyeshadow</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is from MAC permanent collection and is a matte coral pink, and it's gorgeous! I think it packs enough of a coral punch to not make me look like I've got an eye infection, but still pink enough to be noticeable. I got this at the Waterloo Premium Outlet's CCO.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyes By Design Set</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've never heard of this brand before I got to this CCO, but I swatched the stuff and it was good! All this for $24, I thought it was a great deal. The best thing about this set is that it comes with an in depth instruction manual about some unique looks which is great for beginners. I got this set at The Crossings CCO.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC Hello Kitty Palette in Too Dolly</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I saw these, and my breath nearly stopped. I got into MAC when this collection came out, almost two and a half years ago! I wasn't smart enough to buy anything from Hello Kitty when it first came out because I was still noob at MAC! However, later I knew that some of these palettes were going on ebay for nearly double their price, score! Too Dolly contains Yogurt, Romping, Too Dolly and Slately Black. I got this at Woodbury Commons CCO!</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>YSL Parisienne Eau De Toilette</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is my little gem, in it's little diamond cut bottle and tinted purple self! It smells like blackberries and sandalwood to me, and it's a lot younger smelling than I expected! Although I'm a little bit younger than it's target audience (20s-30s), I think it still works for anyone in their late teens to late twenties. I got this at the Sephora in Times Square, and it's the 90ml version.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6324.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6324.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Estee Lauder Soft Clean Hydrating Lotion</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">This looks and pours out like a watery texture, but believe it or not it applies like a serum! My Mom purchased some samples of this earlier and didn't realize until recently how moisturising it is, so we both snagged one each when we saw it for only $15. I got this at Waterloo's CCO.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC Tartan Tale Pigment Set</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't remember the name of this one, but I'll admit, I got this set mainly for Naked Pigment. I've wanted that one for a while, and just haven't worked up the courage to spend full price on it! I'm probably going to press these pigments and put them into my palettes :) I got this at the Waterloo CCO.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's all the beauty related things I purchased on my trip! I also picked up a few pairs of sandals and pumps from Nine West and some clothing at the Times Square Forever 21.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

(Clip-In Extensions!)<div style="text-align: center;">That's right, I stole some of Rapunzel's hair! Let me tell you my story, I've pretty much had long hair my entire life. I've also been lucky enough to be born with super thick, strong and wavy dark brown hair which I'm extremely grateful for from my momma! However, after a visit with my friend Nat to the hairdressers in early July, I chopped off a good three inches of my hair! Now I know that's not a lot, but it felt seriously lighter and I sort of missed my hair that once reached my lower back. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I decided, why not try clip in hair extensions? It would help provide more length, some thickness, and most importantly, I could experiment with short hair in the future! So I began browsing online for a store that sold human hair extensions for a reasonable price and didn't cost a billion dollars for international shipping. There I would this site: <b>www.cliphair.co.uk</b> which is a site which sold completely human hair extensions with various different lengths, colors and options to choose from. I was initially skeptical to try this site because there aren't many reviews on it, but I must say, I'm impressed. Best thing about this site is their free international shipping!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was in heaven! So I chose these<b> 18" Double Wefted Set</b> of Human Hair Extensions in the color <b>#2 Darkest Brown.</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6257.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6257.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6251.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6251.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6256.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6256.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't even tell I'm wearing extensions! They blend super well and the color match is nearly identical.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/hairextensions.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 260px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/hairextensions.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The Extensions:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I find these to be extremely high quality and durable. The hair is 100% human hair so you can straighten it, curl it, wave it, basically anything you can do to your own hair. It also doesn't have that shiny plastic look that synthetic hair has, therefore looks completely natural. So natural that, even my boyfriend didn't know I was wearing hair extensions! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The hair comes straight with a tiny bit of a natural wave. If you have straight hair, it would blend perfectly into your natural hair without styling. However, if you have curly hair, they have extensions that are naturally curly so you don't have to curl them yourself!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When wearing them, you do feel them on your head. However, they're light enough not to bother you, but you will definitely be aware that they're held onto your natural hair. The application itself takes all but 3 minutes if you're used to it, but maximum 10 if it's your first time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6287.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6287.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's how the clips look, and since my set is the double wefted one, you can see that there's two layers of hair stuck together into one.

You know, the saddest thing is when you don't even remember the last time you touched the "new post" button. Er, well, I had my reasons.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Two things:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. I had one month left of my summer semester, and I just had to finish it! Not gonna lie, it was difficult with many sleepless nights and times where I wanted to pull my head off. But this wasn't the chief reason of why I was absent. However, I did manage to get a great mark!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. My beloved aunt, who lived with me and was undoubted one of the closest people in my life, passed away. She had suffered from a year-long battle with cancer and it was almost heartbreaking to watch her through her last days. She left us three weeks ago, and these three weeks, I had no incentives to do anything, let alone blog about makeup. I'm feeling better now and my family is understanding the fact that this is better for her. She's now in a better place with no more needles or medication. I love you Aunt Jo, rest in peace.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom and I actually went shopping together for the first time in a while since we've been busy taking care of my auntie, but now we've got some extra time. It's not a huge haul, but I did see some lovely things that I wanted to take home with me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6173.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6173.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>New goodies!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6177.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700 px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6177.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/maaac.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 233px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/maaac.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6183.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6183.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC Eyeshadows in Lucky Green, Fig.1 and Patina</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been seriously long since I purchased stuff from the MAC store; it's all the Warehouse Sales! But these are some permanent shadows that I've been wanting for a while. Lucky Green is a golden lime colour, Fig.1 is a beautiful dark eggplant, and Patina is the bombest medium brown ever! Patina looks kind of blah in the photos, but it's seriously so beautiful. Swatch for yourself!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6187.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_6187.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Steve Madden Nude Pumps</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">These are what I call the "I can walk all day" low heels.

Again, I've got to blame the evils of the summer semester, but I'm glad I had a chance to post today! It's almost kind of sad seeing that tons of my friends are on summer break but I'm still constantly stuck in class. Therefore, meaning I'm still rather pale and am probably going to have to rely on the magic fairy powers of self tanners this summer. Anyone have some good suggestions? I heard that St. Tropez was good, let me know some of your self-tanning secrets!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lets get to the look!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5954.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5954.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5972.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5972.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5942.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5942.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5974.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5974.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5949.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5949.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Face:</b></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever HD Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;">Revlon Photoready Foundation</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC MSF Natural</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cheeks:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Stark Naked Beauty Powder Blush</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5962.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5962.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5963.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5963.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyes:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">UDPP in Sin</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Vex Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Rose Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Cheyenne Duo (Plum Shade)</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Shadowy Lady Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Macroviolet Fluidline</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stila Kajal Liner in Topaz</div><div style="text-align: center;">Clinique High Lengths Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b>MAC Cremesheen Glass in Partial to Pink</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's it for today!

My throat started with these awful burning sensations and then it progressed to that plus massive headaches and nausea. Oh, the the most wonderful thing that could possibly happen, happened. My evil "monthly demon" decided to show up yesterday and it consisted of me rolled up in fetal position holding my tummy.

It's been a great day today for me so far, but the only thing ruining it right now is the rain and gloomy weather! As some of you might be aware, the famous MAC Warehouse Sale is taking place this weekend, and this time I was lucky enough to be able to attend! I'm not going to give too much information about the sale since you can find info through a simple google check, but you could also read my past Warehouse Sale posts if you're unaware of what this sale is. It's invitation only, and this time my mom's co-worker was able to snatch us some tickets for free! Man, I love her. I personally spent a little more than $100 (before taxes) which is the least I've ever spent at a MAC Warehouse Sale, but it's mainly because the prices have gone up and the selection wasn't great so I was a little disappointed. Let's get to the haul!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5846.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5846.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Its not a huge haul, but had some lovely products I was eyeing for a while!</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5850.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5850.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5851.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5851.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span">MAC 249 Brush</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">I've heard loads about this brush from lovely Christine from Temptalia, and it's main purpose is to use with cream products such as eyeshadows and concealers.

I had a nice relaxing day since I had time to hit the gym with my friend Priscilla then come home to have some fun with my babies (makeup). I had recently seen the most beeeautiful summer sunset with pinks, oranges and purples and although I'd done a similar look before, I had to do the look. I apologize there are probably too many pictures of me than you'd like to see, but I had many good shots today and these were already the better filtered ones! I just didn't want to put them to waste... sorry!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5773.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5773.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5765.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5765.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5800.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5800.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5768.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5768.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5761.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5761.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5795.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5795.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Face:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Foundation Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Maybelline</b> Fit Me Foundation</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> MSF Natural</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cheeks:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Tah Mahal Blush</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5779.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5779.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5781.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5781.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyes:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joe Fresh</b> Eyeshadow in Gold Rush</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NYX</b> Purple Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Off the Page Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC </b>Shadowy Lady Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Macroviolet Fluidline</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Maybelline</b> Falsies Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Orgasm Lipgloss</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's it for today's look!

I've just been hiding inside as it's just too stuffy to be anywhere outside without getting a stroke! Well, I'd just like to reassure you that I'm still alive and just lazy. I think it's the summer heat, and lack of motivation, and the fact that this blog is nearly two years old! Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy typing up posts and receiving fabulous feedback from you guys, it's just that I'm kind of picky in terms of what I put on here. I've never been one to post many neutral looks on here since I've always had a feeling that people are more interested in colourful makeup combinations because I do. Throughout the months it's sad but I've felt as though I've run out of combinations, since I've almost featured every colour on the rainbow here, but don't worry, I'll squeeze some creative juices out of my brain.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On a more serious note, I'm actually still in school right now and going to start a summer course in July, therefore taking away most of my summer right there. I know I know, same old excuse used by everybody, but it's legitimate. I'm planning on going to law school (Osgoode Hall, crossing fingers!) in a few years so I'm just trying to put in my all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes I wonder, how long does it take for you girls to organize together an entire blog post? For me, from start to finish would take almost two hours. If I'm doing a FOTD kind of post then it's about an hour, but if it's a haul post then usually almost two hours since I like taking photos of everything. Throughout the past two years I've learned the proper angles, settings, lenses and uses of my camera (Canon Rebel XS), which is still my baby after the past 9 months together.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last thing, I promise. Today I received my first ever Google Adsense check! Some of you might be aware that I became a youtube partner back in January, but I had been enabling Google Adsense for almost a year now. It was a check for $104.50 (don't worry, not selling out) which for some reason I felt so excited about! It's not my first job, but just felt so thrilling. Maybe it's because I got paid while doing something I genuinely enjoy, which makes everything a whole lot sweeter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you seriously still reading? Okay fine. I'll get to the photos :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5643.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5643.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I was a little iffy on this face of the day since it looked kind of strange, but I thought "heck, whatever!"</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Face:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Bobbi Brown</b> Corrector in Light Peach</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Studio Careblend Pressed Powder</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC </b>Mineralized Blush in Earth to Earth</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5644.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5644.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5645.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5645.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyes:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Gold Dusk Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Golden Olive Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MAC</b> Teal Pigment</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Wet and Wild</b> Pride Palette</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>ELF</b> Midnight Cream Liner</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Maybelline</b> The Falsies Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>NARS</b> Luster Lipgloss</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5677.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5677.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I think I look even younger than my still-considered-teenager self that day!

Today I've got a review for a product that I recently purchased, and as you can tell from the title, it's not for me. It's the <b>Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer ($8.99)</b>, and I really wanted to love this and find a great drugstore primer to replace my Makeup Forever and Quo one, but this just doesn't measure up. I'll let you know why. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5499-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5499-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5500.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5500.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>What Hard Candy Claims:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sheer Envy Primer helps to even out the skin while reducing shine. Improves foundation application while minimizing skin imperfections. Make-up lasts longer and skin is left velvety smooth.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>What Erica Thinks:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm gonna be completely honest with you, because this just does not work for me at all. Scratch that, it's just the ONE thing in the world that won't work on me! They claim this product is going to help even out the skin while reducing shine, which it kind of doesn't do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">However, the worst part of this product is that it broke me out! Not just a few pimples, literally pea sized zits on my skin and between my brows. I have the least sensitive skin in the world and have literally never broken out from a skincare/makeup product, and quite frankly, this product did it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In terms of prolonging the wear of my foundation, it doesn't exactly do a difference because by the end of the day, it looked the same as if I didn't use a primer. It didn't exactly reduce shine either because it wasn't matifying, but rather sat on top of my skin feeling somewhat oily and slippery.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One thing that I do like about this is that it creates a smooth texture to your face while you apply foundation which in terms means you use less product because it smooths out easier. However, the smoothness disappears within a few minutes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5504.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5504.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The packaging comes in a nice little generic squeeze tube which I find is pretty good towards squeezing out every drop of the product and prevents wasting anything. It's just very basic but works effectively. It comes in a tube with 45 grams or 1.6 fl.oz of product which is extremely affordable at $9.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5505.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5505.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Product Itself:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">The product itself was kind of a chunky texture, but when you rub it into your skin it creates a very smooth texture (which goes away within minutes). When you apply it onto the skin it feels quite a bit oily which would be ideal for those with dry skin. However I'm not too sure what ingredient in those made me break out, but I would say not worth giving a try. It took me two weeks to fully recover! The pimples stopped as soon as I stopped using it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Overall: D</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">For someone with relatively normal and non-sensitive skin, this product was pretty much a thumbs down for me since it didn't do what it promised of diminishing imperfections, making makeup last longer, or reducing shine. Plus it broke me out, so this product is clear not for me. However, I do believe this would work better on those with very dry skin if it doesn't break you out. I would not repurchase or recommend it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Disclaimer: I am in no way trashing Hard Candy or any of their products. I've used other products from this brand and have had good experiences, but this product in particular did not work for me. </span></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683070703769719470noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495295108986685093.post-6969286397308962011-05-14T19:32:00.004-04:002011-05-14T21:55:44.157-04:00NARS/Shiseido Warehouse Sale Haul (May 2011)<div style="text-align: center;">Hello girlies! As I mentioned in a previous post, today I attended the totally underrated Shiseido Warehouse Sale! I'm going to give you a little background information regarding the cosmetic giant's semi annual Warehouse Sale. Shiseido is a huge company that's been around for years, and it owns many of the top of the line cosmetic brands such as NARS, Jean Paul Gaultier, Cle De Peau, as well as many other brands. They hold a Warehouse Sale every six months which usually takes place every November and May, which is the one I attended today. They sell items from their brands that may have been from previous seasons, but by no means expired.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">However, this sale is almost notorious for it's ridiculous line ups which are usually about an hour to one and a half just to simply enter. There is no invitation required which is why a ton of people show up just to browse around for some heavily discounted skincare and makeup products. This time was especially terrible due to 90 minute line up to go in, and another hour just to get to the cashier. See what I'm willing to do for amazing deals? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The sale takes place at:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Shiseido Inc.</div><div style="text-align: center;">303 Allstate Parkway</div><div style="text-align: center;">Markham, Ontario</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Alright, so I think it's time that I show you what I got!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5446.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5446.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>As you can see it's a pretty big haul, but it's worth it because I got about an average of 60% off everything!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5451.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5451.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joico Damage Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and Spray</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been longing to try for hair products from Joico, but I'm seriously guilty of being sucked into onto buying inexpensive hair products due to it's price.

She's now known as the Duchess of Cambridge and I think her and Prince William are super cute together, and the wedding seemed like a fairytale wedding. I'm not much of a follower of the British Monarchy, but come on, a nice makeup look deserves to be duplicated! I know that Kate opted to do her own makeup which I think is different, and she did quite a good job. So this is what I came up with :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5185.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5185.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5182.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5182.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5161.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5161.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5175.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5175.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5202.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5202.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Her look had some distinctive strong brows, lightly smokey brown eyes, deeply lined eyes, rosey cheeks, and neutral pink lips!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Face:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;">Makeup Forever HD Foundation</div><div style="text-align: center;">Joe Fresh Concealer Duo</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC MSF Natural</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cheeks:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Laguna Bronzer</div><div style="text-align: center;">ELF Studio Blush in Berry Merry</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5196.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5196.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5197.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5197.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Eyes:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Primer</div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC Wedge and Ricepaper Eyeshadows</div><div style="text-align: center;">NARS Galapagos Eyeshadow</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Mahogany Ink</div><div style="text-align: center;">Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lips:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">MAC High Tea Lipstick</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5181.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_5181.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>My hair was also inspired by her wedding do, and it's just a simple loose wave along with a few pinned up curls in the back.

Matte skin really ages women, and makes them appear drier and older. Try to use either a dewy foundation, or a liquid highlighter to add luminescence. </span></div></b><b><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>2</b>. Brighter Lipstick is great for perking up complexions, especially since our lips tend to darken in color as we get older.</span></div></b><b><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>3</b>. Adding a slight tan gives the appearance of a slimmer face and younger looking skin!</span></div></b><b><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>4</b>. Stay away from glitter at all costs, no glitter lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes, nothing! It emphasizes on wrinkles and I'm sure that's not cute.</span></div></b><div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>5</b>. Eliminate dark circles, because it gives a tired appearance which makes you look older since our skin gets thinner as we age. Try to use a liquid concealer since solid concealers are more prone to settling into fine lines.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Alright, so that's it for today's post! Hope you enjoyed my fun little amateur makeover with my Mom :)</div></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683070703769719470noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495295108986685093.post-76543391732476698992011-04-17T20:46:00.002-04:002011-04-18T09:41:34.921-04:00You MUST Try Joe Fresh Cosmetics...<div style="text-align: center;">I'll admit it, lately I've been slightly stuck in a rut when it comes to experimenting with new makeup, and coming up with a ton of pretty looks. It just seems as though I've been just stuck in the dull weather, and since now it's getting warmer, my inspiration has grown as well. I don't know if it's just me, but I used to be a huge drugstore girl with the occasion MAC purchase but drugstore was all I really used until 2009. I've recently convinced myself that I should definitely start venturing out of my MAC and Sephora addiction, find better, newer brands and save a few pennies along the way. In no way am I going to stop buying high end makeup, but I'm just trying to give more affordable makeup a try.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here comes Joe Fresh Cosmetics, Loblaws/Superstores very own brand of clothing, shoes, and makeup. I've heard countless raves about this Canadian brand from numerous bloggers such as Farah and Michelle, but this is the first I've tried anything from them. Considering the entire line of Joe Fresh is under $10, and that I live 5 minutes away from a Loblaws, why not give it a try?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So here's what I decided upon...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/overall.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/overall.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see, I mainly picked up goodies from Joe Fresh Cosmetics, as well as a few drugstore pieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/fitme2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Maybelline Fit Me Foundation - $8</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I knew I wanted to try this foundation as soon as I heard about it. It claims to be light coverage, let the real me show through and most importantly... FIT ME? How much better can it get? I actually tried this out yesterday and it really did make me skin look flawless and lasted for quite a bit of time. Review coming after I try this out some more! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/theturbo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 467px; height: 700px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/theturbo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Maybelline The Turbo Mascara - $8</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Has anybody seen this mascara around? This is the first time I've seen this mascara, and have never heard about it or read a review on it! I honestly picked this up on a whim since I've had such great experiences with Maybelline mascaras and hopefully this one doesn't disappoint. Another review coming after I try it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeconcealer.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeconcealer.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joe Fresh Duo Concealer $8</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I tried this yesterday too, and I absolutely love it, especially for the fact that it has a side with a liquid concealer, and another side with a stick concealer. I'm a huge stick concealer fan, and was super upset when I ran out of my discontinued MAC Studio Stick concealer. This is absolutely perfect for me since I like to use a stick concealer on my blemishes, and liquid for under eyes. The fact that it has superb pigmentation doesn't hurt either! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/nails.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/nails.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/nailz2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/nailz2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Grape, Tin, Sun Kissed</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joe Fresh Nail Polishes - 3 for $10</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Initially I wasn't going to buy these, since their line of polishes are mainly cream finishes with no shimmer, but I found these babies they're so beautiful! My favorite of the bunch is Grape, which is this super gorgeous vibrant grape purple with shimmer! I love the fact that since it's a Canadian brand, they actually put the dual languages of the colors!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeeyeshadows.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeeyeshadows.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeeyeshadows2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/joeeyeshadows2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Espresso, Iris, Gold Rush</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joe Fresh Eyeshadows - 3 for $10</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've heard great things about their eyeshadows and have tried Espresso and Gold Rush yesterday in a look. So I gave them the ultimate test of using them without a primer, and they stayed put for a good 5 hours! They're about the same size as a MAC eyeshadow and Gold Rush is the perfect everyday lid color!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/cheektint.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/cheektint.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/cheektint2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/cheektint2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Joe Fresh Cheek Tint in Pink Rose - $4</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">The texture of this feels exactly the same as the Tarte Cheeks Tints, but except it retails for only a mere $4! Lately I've been obsessed with cream blush so this is perfect for me. Pink Rose is sort of like a pomegranate color without any real shimmer but more so like a wet dewy glow. Love!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_4952.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 700px; height: 467px;" src="http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh135/ericaaa-c/IMG_4952.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Barry M's Flamingo Pink, with China Glaze Golden Meringue on top</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just thought I'd share my little nails of the day with you all, as I'm completely obsessed with this combination! It's like a beautiful coral pink with a golden sheen. I'm obsessed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So I hope you girls enjoyed my haul, and I definitely recommend all you Canadian ladies to try this brand out if you've got the chance!</div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683070703769719470noreply@blogger.com10
