Mini Makeup haul!

Preping for spring!

I have recently acquired some exciting new makeup pieces! I have been dying to try the maybelline bouncy blushes and revlon lip butters so when i had the opportunity to get them, i pounced! I was going for soft pinks and nude colors because i have a lot of bright colored lipsticks already. The good thing was that the lip butters were buy one get and get the second for 50% off! so of course i got two. It was the end to a pretty swell friday :).

I also finally received my topshop package! I watch a lot of UK bloggers on youtube and follow a lot of their blogs, i don't know why, but anyways, i was always tempted to get topshop makeup! But since i live in the states and I'm on the west coast, we don't have topshop :(. Luckily, they have free shipping :). So far i haven't worn any of the makeup yet but i have done some swatches which i will post up later! 

And the final thing i got was non-beauty related. I got a moleskin 3-pack notebook along with my favorite pens, G2 .38 mm fine gel roller pen! trust me, these are probably the best pens i have ever tried! i definitely recommend them :). I have been wanting a moleskin notebook so i could jot down blog ideas, take note of things that interest me at the moment, basically i want to track my life in good ol' writing :).

I hope you enjoyed this haul and have a great February Leap Year!

time to prep for spring

you gals are awesome!

Scarf- Forever 21

Sorry about the background mess, I have been in the process of cleaning my room! Luckily, while i was cleaning my room i came across this beautiful scarf that I haven't used forever. I got it about 3-4 years ago and i think the color is beautiful for spring and summer. 

         Scarf: It is a deep fuchsia with a decorative pattern, hints of green. It is two toned with a light pink! i love it :)

The Things I adored in January

1. The Cottage: it is this cute and quaint breakfast/brunch restaurant that has thee most AMAZING jam and scones! yum :)

2. Isabel's Cantina: asian and latin fusion restaurant! their food is good, but i don't know if asian and latin fusion is the right way to describe their food selection. Pricey.

3. MAC: Just made a small post about this! i am so excited to try the so sweet, so easy creme blend blush and the dervish lip pencil!

4. Anthropologie: My first anthropology purchase gals! i got a cute teal/ light blue cardigan and a renaissance style shirt!

5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (us): I have to say that i love the swedish version of the girl with the dragon tattoo movie trilogy, i did like the US version too! i have to say that Rooney Mara blew me away! she was amazing!

6. The Bistro: A asian inspired restaurant on campus! super yummy food!

7. Macarons: I went to Opera Cafe and was thrilled that they had macarons! It was my first time trying them and trust me, i will be going back for some more :).

8. Opera Cafe: Yummy food too! i had a pesto chicken panini! it was quick to be served and filling :)

MAC PACKAGE

MAC

Cremeblend blush So Sweet, So easy

Lip pencil in dervish 

I was so happy when i received this in the mail! i can't wait to swatch and them on. Updates on it soon!

GOLLY GUMDROPS!

i was just on UO and they are having an amazing sale and all i want to do is buy, buy. buy. Not to mention the fact that i have my eye on a creme blend blusher by mac and a beautiful lipliner! so all in all, all this will definitely make a dent in my pocket.

But i do feel like today is the day to treat myself in a way. by the end of the day, i will have finished 2 midterms! The weekend is going to be amazing! But then I'm going to spend again when i go to target and a birthday dinner! i don't know how I'm going to survive!

I will just breathe, treat myself and work really hard!

MIDTERMS!!!

I have two midterms tomorrow and all i can think about is getting my hands on mac's creme blend blush so sweet, so easy! I'm making myself wait till i finish my midterms and then i can treat myself.

UPDATE:

I finally got a job! its nothing fancy, I am going to be working at my universities bookstore. I can finally have an income :).

i need to update this blog more often!

more makeup, health, and other things coming up soon!
