Santa came to town!

SANTA CAME TO MY HOUSE LAST NIGHT!!! lol.

Every year our city puts on a Santa float with elves, reindeer, and Mr. and Mrs. Claus! This time my dad was Santa so I got a free picture with Hurley, Santa, and I. I wanted to try one of the nude looks for this FOTD, and this is what I came up with:

Eyes: 

UDPP

MAC Vanilla- Entire Lid

MAC Coco Pigment -Lower Lid blended into the crease

MAC Satin Taupe- Bottom lashline

Lancome ArtLiner- Black

Lancome Definicils Mascara- Black

Face:

MUFE HD Powder

BE Fairly Light

MAC Well Dressed Blush

Lips: 

MAC Hue l/s

MAC Luminary Lustreglass

Hair:

No products were used! Blow dry with cool setting, and dry well.

With a small barrel curling iron, I started at the middle of the strand and curled up for undefined waves. 

Then, I twisted the bangs along my hairline so it created a french braided look, and pinned the end behind my hair.

I will post our picture with Santa as soon as I can! 

BLOG SALE: Purses, Wallets, etc!

After a long time coming, I decided to go through my closet, and do a little "winter cleaning," if I may. I have a TON of purses that have just been lying around. Some are a bit dated, others I love but dont use, and some were victims of retail therapy, True Story! 

This is my first Blog Sale so bare/bear with me! If you are interested in purchasing any item, please be aware that I do not have PayPal (may need to look into that)! Follow the directions in the BLOG SALE post if you are interested in anything or have a question about an item. 

Act fast, because I may regain my sanity in the very near future!

Just a Quick Update!

I'm sad I haven't found a time where I wasnt so lazy to do my November favorites! It's just the process of uploading and blah blah blah that keeps me from doing it! But the good this is I WANT TO, but just havent gotten to that point. I love watching/reading everyones' favorites though, and it will soon inspire me! 

Yesterday, I ended up going to the mall with my friend. We ended up at MAC in Nordstroms. I didnt need anything, but I was helping her pick out a nice brown and highlight. She ended up with Satin Taupe and Shroom. When we went to pay, she pulled out this MAC/Nordstrom punch card. Apparently, they stamp the card each time you purchase a MAC item and after you purchase 15 items, you receive one MAC product with a value of $15 or less! I was like WTF! I believe its only applies to California Nordstroms, i.e. Brea, Cerritos, etc. The MA didnt have anymore, but I'm not sure how long the promotion will last. My friend told me she had the card for a while. :( Maybe I can find someone at another Nordstrom that still has one lying around! 

But on a good note, today was the last day of the sale at Walgreens so I had to get there before everything was gone I was so excited about my purchase because I saved over $50 in deals and coupons, and my total was less than $10!! SO EXCITING. I picked up some Nivea Kiss of Moisture (5 tubes, 3 Shimmer and 2 SPF 4), and Body Smooth Sensation lotion. I had some amazing coupons, such as buy one, get one free, and buy 3, get a free lotion. Also, the BIORE Skin Preservation line was marked down insanely low AND had a coupon on the box. It was so hard to pass up a Dual Fusion Daytime SPF 30 moisturizer and an overnight moisturizer 1.7 oz (each) for $2.79 a bottle!! They were usually around $13 each, so they were a STEAL! 

I went to PETCO today as well, because with any purchase, your pet received a free picture with SANTA!! lol. I just had to. :)

Lastly, I was watching my Rachel Ray programs and came across this interesting recipe! A cake in a mug, and get this...you microwave it!!! Since our kitchen is still in the process of being remodeled, this is an awesome gift idea for my mom, a book of over 100 cake in mug recipes! I wonder how good these could possibly be. In only 4 minutes, you could have a pre-portioned individual cake that would prohibit me from inhaling a whole cake as well as limit the calorie intake! I'm sure you can also sub some of the ingredients to make a much more healthier and figure-friendly dessert choice. You can find the recipe below for the Chocolate Butterscotch Mug Cake compliments of http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/101-mug-cakes-recipe/

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons instant butterscotch pudding powder
• 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons semit sweet chocolate chips 
  
• Frosting:
• 1 box of prepared butterscotch pudding mixed with store bought chocolate frosting
• 
  

PREPARATION

Prepare mug by coating the inside lightly with cooking spray. Pour all of the dry ingredients into a bowl.

Beat egg first with a spoon and mix in other liquid ingredients.

Then add dry ingredients and mix until you’ve removed all lumps. Pour the batter into the mug (do not fill more than halfway) and smooth the top with a spoon.

Thump mug firmly on the tabletop six times to remove excess air bubbles.

Place mug on top of a microwaveable small plate or saucer. Bake for 3-4 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the microwave mug cake and removing the toothpick. If the toothpick is dry, the mug cake is done.

Wait two minutes then run a butter knife along the inside of the mug and tip the cake into plate. Position the mug cake so that the slightly rounded top is on top. Your microwave mug cake will now look like a slightly overgrown muffin. Frost the mug cake with premade frosting. 

Option: frost the whole chocolate chip butterscotch microwave mug cake with prepared butterscotch pudding chocolate frosting.

I SO WANT TO TRY THIS! :) 

Loving Lady Gaga

I'm really loving BAD Romance from Lady Gaga. The radio does not play it enough, and the video is outrageous and cannot get enough!  I can't wait until the CD comes out on Nov. 23!! She is beautiful, and my favorite look is her natural look surprisingly! If you havent seen it yet take a look!

Because I can!

This is my beloved Clinique Colorsurge Trio Eyeshadow Palette in Doeyed! I love the highlight color, and am very sad that this is not a permanent color! I have to make a trip every so often to pick up a few at the closest CCO! This is my go-to eyeshadow in the morning when I dont have much time to get a glammed up for work. Love this!

I'm not very good at the tutorial thing yet, but I'm still learning! I have yet to master the art of youtubing, but here is my take on picture tutorials!

This was my requested FOTD:

Face: Clinique Superdefense Moisturizer with SPF 25

MUFE HD Powder

 BE Fairly Light

Cheeks: MAC's Dainty

Lips: MAC's Lipstick in XPose

Chanel Lipgloss in Blacktie

Eyes: UDPP

MAC's ShadeStick in Beige-ing on the lid (blended with 239) 

On top, Lancome's e/s in Sparkle

MAC's ShadeStick in Taupographic in the crease (blended with 217)

In crease, NARS e/s in Cargo

Highlight is MAC's e/s in Vanilla

Undereye, MAC's e/s in Satin Taupe

Lancome's ArtLiner in Black

Lancome's Cils Booster XL 

Lancome's Definicils Mascara in Black

First, prep face, brows, and eyes (see above for product list)

Second, apply Shadestick in Beigeing on the lid with a 239 brush, then pack on either MACs Shore leave (on previous FOTD) or Lancome's Sparkle (shown). Then, draw your crease line with Taupographic Shadestick and blend with a 217 brush!

Next, blend MAC's Mauvement pigment (previous FOTD) or NARS Cargo e/s (shown) in the crease on top of the Taupographic with the same 217 brush until desired look. Then, line lashes with MACs Blitz & Glitz Fluidline. 

Lastly, add mascara and line lower lashes! For the finishing touch, I add MACs MB in Dainty, and MAC lipstick in XPose and Chanel gloss in Blacktie.

End Result: Small variations with the same effect! 

This was my FOTD from today! I look a little tore up, but that's ok! It was suppose to be a lazy Sunday!

I went to Beverly Hills to visit my friends, and ended up spending all my hard earned money at the mall on Santa Monica Blvd! I did use my 20% VIB at Sephora, and finally! got my MUFE set! YAY! I, also, have a shipment coming next week! I will have to post all my new goodies in a haul post as well as some pretty FOTDs that I can create with my splurge! Lastly, I ended up at MAC, and Back to MAC'd 12 containers, and received Hue and Creme d'Nude!!! I love them already! 

Two in One!

The other day, I went to go take my ID picture for my school district, and I decided to glam it up! In the Fall and Winter, I usually just blow dry my hair and twist it up, then sometime during the day, I take it down to create some waves. However, I decided to straighten my hair and was surprised to see how long it is now!!

I had been growing my hair out for over two years, when I suddenly got inspired to pull off the Lady Gaga bangs, and chopped my hair off!! LOL! It looked ok, but it was a very short and dramatic look! Now, its growing out, and I got my layers going on. I'm thinking of growing out my bangs a little longer as well as my layers! 

Look What I Found! I was searching through all of my lip glosses when I found Glitz Glosses, circa 2005!! They're the long-lost distance relative of the new Dazzleglasses! 

 

From Left to Right, and Top to Bottom:

Afterparty - an irredescent pink

Embellish - dark plum red

Ramoneo - pink glitter

Berried Treasure - true red

Girl's Got It - magenta pink

Foreign Intrigue - berry red

Kisscapade - purplely pink

Fleshflash - nude

I think these were meant to be mixed, because they are not very glossy at all! But they pack a LOT of glitter. It kind of looks like I applied a dazzleglass, and then rubbed off the gloss! I need to experiment a little more!

And lastly,

HOTD or HURLEY OF THE DAY! hehe

I'm so proud of her! Another graduate in our family! She graduated last night from her doggy obedience class! She got her own little degree, and I have to frame it! 

Bored and Beautiful? loli

Here is a picture of my fluffy dog, Hurley! She is my love, and she will be graduating from her doggy obedience class on Wednesday! She is a little crazy looking, but she has the longest lashes and the fluffiest tail that I can not live without her! 

Usually when boredom strikes, this is the end result, a FOTD! This is also Shop My Stash/Project Back to MAC inspired.

Face: Clinique Superdefense Moisturizer with SPF 25

Cheeks: MAC's True Romance with Gentle MB over

Lips: MAC's Lustreglass in Luminary with Amber Russe LipGelee on the bottom lip (dont ask)

Highlight is MAC's e/s in Vanilla

Undereye, MAC's e/s in Satin Taupe

I think purples, plums, and lilacs are going to be great this season!

I wore a version of this the other day for my friend, Andrew's birthday in West Hollywood! Here's a picture from the night! I used my Clinique palette, Doe Eyed, which has beautiful grayish purples! LOVE!

Enjoy!!

Target Binge

The other day I went to lunch with my mom, and we decided to shop off our meal. We ended up at Target (one of my favorite stores), and left with great stuff! All of their Halloween stuff was 75% off so that means CRAZY LASHES for CHEAP! I ended up with 5 sets of lashes with glue and applicator for under $2 (originally $5.69 for $1.42 to be exact!). 

I bought "Spyder Woman," very long and separated lashes (I got two pairs), "Bat Those Lashes," #105 lashes, "BatGirl," full and spikey lashes, and Target brand, "Black Peaked," slanted lashes that I got for only $1.25!!! I love these and cannot wait to wear them! 

Haul Time!

Even though I'm broke (lol), I couldnt resist going to Nordstrom after my aerobics class on Monday! I had to pay my bill, and wanted to check out the new Trina Turk gift with purchase from Clinique! I love their Mascaras, and this gift comes with a couple of brushes, an eyeshadow palette, and great eye cream! I wanted it just for the eyebrow brush! I can never seem to keep them very long, because they end up breaking in my brush bag when I travel!  www.nordstrom.com

Secondly, I love their eyeshadow palette called Doe Eyed, but its been discontinued, and can only find it at the Cosmetic Company. But I'm always on the look out for a dupe of the highlight! When I arrived at Nordies, it was completely empty and the saleslady was all mine! We talked for a bit, and I looked at the new gift set for 36$. Although the gift wasn't officially out until today, Thursday, she said if I bought the Clinique 'Star Favorites' Makeup Set, she would give me the gift that very day!! I gave in, and bought it! Now I must live on Cheerios and moisturizers! :D The set includes:

Treat eyes to All About Eyes cream/gel, six Color Surge Eyeshadows and Dual-Ended High Impact Curling Mascara/High Impact Mascara. For lips: Long Last Glosswear SPF 15. To take off eyeshadow and High Impact Mascara: Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes and Lips. For High Impact Curling Mascara, all you need is warm water. Set includes a chic pink bag. A $73 value.

Along with my purchase, she threw in another Liquid Soap, Lash Impact Mascara, a couple of foundations, and a few moisturizers! I was in heaven, because the gift alone was worth $75, the gift set was valued at $73, and the six other samples were probably worth $30, all for less than $40!!! The saleslady was extremely nice and generous. So here is a tip, if you're going to buy something at the mall/makeup counter, go at a time when you can 1.) find a parking space, 2.) avoid long lines, 3.) find a great deal, and 4.) make friends with the saleslady!!! It will benefit in you more than you know! 

xoxo, Kelly

First Ever Favorites: October 2009

This is my first post for my monthly favorites. I had a difficult time trying to pick out just a few of  my favorite products this month. I use these products on a daily basis, and just can not get enough. 

October Favorites: 

Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads (28 Count) - I absolutely loves these! They exfoliate and are semi-gentle (lol)! They are very foamy, and leave my skin glowing and feeling clean. 

Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion - Now that Fall is here and Winter is around the corner that means flu season is in full swing! That means, I will be working for those teachers self-diagnosed with Swine Flu and me taking over their germ-infested students and classroom! This results in multiple hand washes, and ta-da, DRY HANDS! I put this on, and it relieves the redness and dryness. I use this all over my body, and it keeps me moisturized and smooth!

Target's Up & Up daily facial moisturizing lotion for sensitive skin - This product was comparable to Olay's Sensitive Skin moisturizer. It contains UVA/UVB protection with SPF 15, Vitamin E, and aloe! I use it every morning, and love the fact that it has SPF. I wish it was a little higher, but I can not complain about the formula. It does not leave my skin feeling greasy or sticky during the day, and it is extremely light and penetrates quickly. I wear it under my powder foundation, and I have no complaints.  I took it to vegas with me, and everyone loved it. Sadly, I am almost done with the 4 oz bottle, but luckily, it is extremely inexpensive at $5. 

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder - This powder has the silkiest touch ever! I apply it right on top of my moisturizer and it feels divine! I buff this on before my BE powder foundation, and touch up throughout the day. I have the 0.07 oz sample for Sephora, and am looking forward to buying the full sized product once I have finished my sample. It is a great formula, and take it with me everywhere! 

Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara - Another sample product that I have fallen in love with. I find myself reaching for it every time I do my makeup. I received the sample in a gift with purchase, and cannot leave home without it. I take it with me when I spend the night at my friends, and it instantly makes me look awake when I have no other makeup with me. It is a go-to product. I have no need to buy the full sized product because every gift has one! I have light lashes, but the formula does not clump and the black color does not look too harsh on my light complexion. My lashes are longer and fuller, and I can even use this product with other mascaras for a better effect. I used to love Lancome's Definicils, but the Lash Doubling Mascara is what I crave this month. 

Lastly, its not a favorite unless its MAC.

MAC's Mineralize Blush in Moon River - I am not exactly sure when this product launched, but I found it in a Cosmetic Company store in Vegas's Primm Outlet. I love the duo-toned blush and its MINERALIZED! The bottom color resembles Dainty, but has more of a shimmer and darker peach color. The top half is a highlight with shimmery purple, pink, and yellow blended through, which gives me a beautiful glow. Another staple product that has put its name on my favorites list!

That's it for my favorites, but I have added a new touch! 

Regret Buy of the Moment - 

OPI's Nail Lacquer in Midnight in Moscow - I thought this color was going to go great with my costume! I was right, but the formula and brush did not impress me! My friends and I all used the color, but for me, it chipped instantly. I am not sure if it was the application on my part, but as the color dried, it bubbled! Within an hour or so I had chipping as well. I am not happy with this. 

Neosporin's Lip Health daily hydration therapy - This product has sunscreen with SPF 25. It looked great in the package, but once I put it on the formula was disappointing. I liked the fact that it had a high SPF, but it was extremely liquidy and the white glossy look  was not attractive at all. I have to find something to do with it. For $3.50, it was not a smart buy, but if you are interested in this product, I believe neolips.com has a coupon available for $3.00 off! I found this out AFTER I bought the gloss. I may add this to my nighttime routine to get some use out of it. 

Next, I have been inspired by Specktra.net's thread to Shop Your Stash as well as the lack of money and abundance amount of makeup I own, I have decided to riffle through what I already own, and work on my Project: Back to MAC. I tend to go through my lippie products more often then not. With that said, I give you:

MAC's LustreGlass in Luminary - I forgot how much I like these lip products. With the new launch of Dazzle and Cremeglasses, I overlooked the lustreglasses. I have A LOT of these, and at one time they were a regret buy. For one, I bought them as soon as they came out. I found them to have a faulty brush top, so I have two tubes with broken lids. It is hard to take with me for fear of leaking. Secondly, I have a lot of colors and its hard to pick just one color, but I chose Luminary. Its a light pink, and I can throw it on with any face! Loving this right now!!

MAC's Lustre Lipstick in High Tea - I bought this lipstick when it first became a permanent product. Before the Creme D'nude and Myth epidemic, I loved this color along with Viva Glam V. Its a nude color and a lustre so its a creamy, natural look. It broke, but I can still take it with me and use as an everyday color! 

MAC's Velvet Eyeshadow in Vanilla - I use this color as a highlight on the lid and brow, and when I want that natural look, I put it everywhere!! I used to use a lot of the frost colors, but I am loving the matte look, and pairing it with a shimmery brown or purply gray shadow. I can't get enough! 

I can not wait for next month's favorites. I am going to get started right now. Also, I have some post ideas that I am working on. For Fall, I think dark plums and purples are a great look as well as dark berries on the lips with find their way in my makeup bag. More FOTD are on their way, and possibly, some reviews! Looking forward to a great end of the year! 2009 is almost over, and Christmas is just around the corner! Can't wait!
