Paul & Joe 50% sale at beautystory.com

Recently I booked on my calendar that there was a Paul & Joe 50% sale at beautystory.com, it's a free membership that anyone can sign up for. I'm aware that these make-ups collection is an old collection probably from previous years.  I don't mind if these collections are old, because I'm slowly starting to like to collect Paul & Joe stuff that is discounted.  I picked up some Paul & Joe items since it was 50% off.  I got two eye-shadow palettes and one jar of a pearl powder in Smoke and Mirrors with additional $10 off using their promotional code BEAUTE 10, the code will expire once the sale ends.  Can't wait to receive them and trying this out.  Will give you a full review of the product once I receive it.

Hello Kitty Cellphone Straps - Barcelona

Makeup post will be slow since my daughter has started Pre-K, I've been busy. So I'll post about my little obsession with Hello Kitty. Barcelona welcome me with these cute Hello Kitty cell phones straps. I couldn't resist of not getting these at the vending machine. While I was in Barcelona I stayed in a residential area that has fantastic places to eat, to shop and some place to get fresh groceries while I was there.

One day while I was taking a walk to get some fresh air, I passed by these vending machine and saw these adorable Hello Kitty cell phone straps in animal costumes. This set includes a duck, lion, and a penguin. Unfortunately my stay at Barcelona was short , I wasn't able to finish this collection. I tried to ask my husband to look for these on ebay, unfortunately it wasn't sold on ebay as well. I'm kind of sad that I'm not able to finish this collection.

Have you ever find any rare Hello Kitty items in a different country?

Too Faced Holiday 2010 Too Faced Enchanted Glamourland Palette

I'm excited and can't wait to get the Too Faced Holiday 2010 Enchanted Glamourland Palette.  I'm always sucker in into pretty pastel light tone eyeshadow shades.  This is one of a must get item for me during the winter time. Although I wish I was a bigger fan of Too Faced items, the only item I have from is the Shadow Insurance Eye Primer that was purchased at Sephora awhile ago.  I have returned my Too Faced lipsticks awhile ago, their lipsticks shades wasn't working for me.  I can't wait until winter time comes, usually Sephora have many good make-ups items released during the winter time.

As you can see from the picture, this palette look so pretty.  I really like these pastel and earthy eye-shades tone. I just can't resist not getting this.  I also like the interior and pretty packaging.  I simply can't wait till this palette comes out.  I'm not sure when the exact release date is, but sources say from Rouge Deluxe her website stated that it will release in November 12th in Japan. Will keep you posted for the release day for the US.

Wedding Day Disaster

I wish I knew more about make-ups for my wedding day. If I had known more about make-up I wouldn't have those boo-boo and epic fail moments.  My wedding day make up was done by a make artist that was provided in those photography studios package that knew nothing about make ups.  Instead of making me pretty & natural looking, she made me look like a different person.  After I got my make-up done from my make-up artist, my cousin said to me that I looked horrible, so my cousin helped me to do my make-up and it turned horrific as well.  I was panicking and I was running out of time and had to delay my wedding for a bit.

The last moment saver was my aunt who brought in her make-up kit that had natural shades in it.  She helped me and saved my epic fail look into something natural and simplistic looking.  I don't exactly remember what I used for that day cause I was already worrying and panicking at the same time.   I should have hired a professional make-up artist or learn more about doing my own make up on my own.  I really regretted hiring some people that I don't know how much professional ability they have in the beginning.  I hate to look back some of my wedding photos and no one should ever be in the same situation as I am.  Here is a nice simple shot of me in my natural make up look that my aunt helped me with and I'm glad she's my lifesaver.

What was the most boo-boo or epic fail moments you have relating to make-ups?

The Glamourish Look

I decided to play with my Naked Urban Decay Palette and wanted something neutral look. In my perspective I think this is more of a glamorous look for night time.  I applied a simple gold shade called Half Baked in the inner of my eyes and then a purple shade called Toasted on the outer of my eyes.  Then using a blending brush to blend in these two colors and gave a final touch of a darker purple shade called Hustle near the outer corners of my eyes. Final touches to my eyes is the 24 hrs Urban Decay black eyeliner.

The blush I'm using is from Forever 21 that I recently purchased.  I gave it another chance and it wasn't iridescent glow that I expected, it was perfect pink and this blush is very pigmented perfect to my liking.  Here's the result for this look, I think it's perfect for a night time look.

Magenta FOTD

Finally a long over due of FOTD - Face of the Day. I know I haven't post FOTD for awhile, due to my busy schedule of taking care of the little one.  The little one have started school, so I have less time for myself playing with make up recently.  This is one of the most causal look of the day, but I like the magenta that I threw on my lips.  Sorry for a bad pic because I was in a hurry to take the girl to school. 

Blush Hauls from Forever 21

Recently I went to the new Forever 21 that is located at Times Square, this is one of the huge Forever 21 I been to that has 3 floors.  This store is one of my favorite because it has really nice displays and it's one of the most organized place I've been to.  I didn't even realize that have a make up section until I spotted these gorgeous blush.  The blush is so pretty and it isn't expensive at all.  Each of these blush only cost me $3.80; although, the one in the bottom picture gives me a iridescent glow.  I'm not too crazy of the iridescent glow, which bring a metallic sheen look to my face, plus the smell in the palette wasn't all that great.  But I have to say the palette is pretty though, just look at the flowery motifs. 

The next one that I got is in pink shade and it's not super pigmented as the top one.  It's simple and light and I'll try to use this on my causal days.   Will give you more insight of this once I'll take some FOTD look.

Paul & Joe Press Powder

I'm starting to have this obsession with Paul & Joe Cosmetics, because I can't stop slurping on these beautiful packaging that comes with it. I finally received my back-ordered Paul & Joe Press Powder from beautyhabit.com; although, I haven't tried this out yet. I got the Paul & Joe Lavender Shade 04 Press Powder, from what I read from the site this press powder helps me diminish red blemishes.  I tend to have red blemishes in the morning, which causes uneven skin tone on my face.  In the description of beautyhabit.com site, it stated that it help brightens all skin tones.  I simply adore the beautiful packaging and the fantastic beautiful debossed motif inside the compact powder.  Look how pretty that is, I'm awing right now. 

 Have you try any Paul & Joe's product yet?

Rainy Day

It was raining last week and so I decided to do some make up shopping.  I decided to purchase my all time scented perfume call Fresh in Sugar Lemon.  I was contemplating back and forth with Sugar Lemon or Sugar Lychee, but in the end Sugar Lemon won my heart.  I like the tangy and citrus smells that gives me a fresh morning wake.  Every morning before I leave the house I spurt a little of this perfume on my hair to give it a longer lasting than on back of my neck.

Which is your favorite scent or perfume at the moment?    

Another item that I got is NARS blush in Luster,  I kept having a hard time choosing some of these NARS blush.  NARS Luster is an apricot tone, which is pretty warm blush when it is apply, but I realized that it's more for those who are NC30 that works well for them.  I'm a NC20 and believe this blush is extremely too dark for me, so whenever I apply this on it gives me this bronzy glow.  I might have to return this and settle for a lighter color, since my skin is very light tone to begin with. I think I'll settle for orgasm and that probably will be my final decision.
