Hello Kitty

I was bawling to my bf about how the HK brush set i ordered is now on back order! they said they will ship within 2 weeks but, i was so excited to get it. well what did i do? while i wait for all my HK stuff to come in? I went to bloomingdales, and picked up PINK FISH! and my oh my is it a pretty color. I promise myself to only use it right after i wash my hands so that i dont get it tainted with bacteria! its so soft and creamy and the color payout is very nice. i look like i have the most lucious, soft and kissable lips! i also picked up a cremsheen glass in partial to pink. it smells delicious and feels very light but a bit sheer. I also bought hair dye in black blue! my favorite color, my hair has been lookin a bit dull and grown out so much. cant wait to have that nice extremely black hair color!

Stippling Love!

^^cs - ulta - lumere - silk naturals - auraline beauty ^^

^^AB - SN - Lumere - Ulta - CS ^^

So if you cant tell, i love me some stippling brushes!! all are non-mac and pretty cheap!
the line-up
Auraline Beauty - $9.60
Silk Naturals - $5.99
Lumere - $16
Ulta - $26
Coastalscents.com - $??

So these are some stippling brushes i have collected over the course of a year or so. the newest one is the auraline beauty brush, which I am not too fond of. these prices are from the websites, not necessarily how much i got them for. for ulta it was free because it was buy 2 get 2 free and i ordered other brushes so it came out free. the coastalscents one is no longer on the website, they dont have the black on black but a silver one, which i cant say much about since i dont have it. I am still waiting for the MAC 187SE from the HK collection to come in, and the one from sigmamakeup.com to see how those compare to these brushes as well.

Density - you can tell from the picture with the view of the density of the white fibers on the brush that the coastalscents is the most FULL, and the others are pretty sparse.

Shedding - All shed black hair on initial and maybe even 2nd and 3rd washing, the lumere and AB had dye come out.

My favorite? Hands down the Coastalscents brush! too bad they dont sell that one anymore, im not sure about the silver handled one from CS. The most important aspect of the stippling brush to me is the amount of synthetic white fibers that are on the brush it self, and how full the black hairs are as well. On most of the stippling brushes, the white fibers are vary sparse, and you can tell from the first picture how it compares to the CS stippling brush.


A picture i never uploaded from my 25% off MAC sale, its nocturnelle, phloof, and all that glitters along with the 217. click on picture for bigger view.

and lastly got a contour palette from ebay.
My boyfriend is not of much help showing me sales online! lol it seems like he encourages it, but a good deal is a GOOD DEAL! well he encourages good deals, not the other misc. crap that i get! lol i got this from hot topic along with a $10 off coupon code, so what can i say? It really is a good deal. It is now $34.99, and isn't it just soo cute!!!

So yesterday me and the boyfriend made some nachos, i mean it just aint no cheese and chips kinda thing either...it was a BEAST!! i will let the picture tell you.

L'EGERE BB Cream, MAC Emote, 24hr

I guess I kind of jumped on the BB Cream Bandwagon, and got the LEGERE White Multi BB Cream Foundation. I have been using it for about 3-4 days now, and I am totally in love with it! It comes out dark, but blends into my nc25-30 skin very nicely. I told my mom about it, and she decided to take a sample of my tube. She is very against of my usage of make-up, lol, only cuz im binge-ing and have packages come to the house all the damn time! but i told her about how its anti-aging, has spf and whitens the skin, and of course, i think any asian lady loves to hear those 3 words together in one product! It has not broken me out and no new pimples/acne has form, so thats a definite ++++!! Since I am at work or out for like 12+ hrs, it doesn't seem to last all day for me, and i do get a bit oily at the end of the day. mostly on my forehead though, which is the case with any product i use. damn forehead!

Kimberly Tia's Review

On another note, I was able to swap on MUA for a brand new MAC Emote blush, which I am also totally loving!! I technically paid more for it then what its worth, but I am glad to have it. I bought it awhile ago at the CCO in vacaville, but for some damn reason I wanted to swap it for MAC Mineralize satifinish, which wasnt even all that!! I was sad =/ like that. Anywho, this recession has got my all freaked out! I need to limit my spending. Its funny because I would try to purchase things online, fill up the cart, and then fill in all my information. then i would close the website! no more clicking that send order/ submit order button!! its the devil!!

I did however purchase a 2 year gym memebership to 24 hr fitness for $299.99 from Costco, its a deal! Thats like $12.50 a month, you just gotta front the money...sigh...I am making that $299.99 worth my while. I like the gym mostly for swimming and steam room. But ms. nana here is going to be getting into tip top shape!

MAC Liquidlast Liner

So after using MAC lilquidlast liner in point black a couple of times, here is what I think of it

Product: MAC lilquidlast liner - Point Black

Cost: $16.50

Picture:

What I do like:

- i love the finish

- lasts a very long time!

- doesn't smear as long as you let it dry all the way

What I don't like:

- takes long time to dry

- the brush is too long and lines my lashes as well! (So my outer cornerlashes are naturally curled, so when I use this and try to line the outercorner, the tip of the brush is on my lid but it also its swipes across my lashes, i have a very hard time at applying it because the brush is long)

- takes longer to apply then gel liners

- tough to take off

I guess I can use this for situations where I need it to stay all day and not smear, like a going to a water park or something.

I'll give it a 2.5/5

Best-O-Burger

I am just posting random places because my co-worker suggested it and I want to remember to try it out. so Best-o-burger cheap but good sliders with fries and curly fries!! sounds kinda good. i brought my lunch today so maybe I will try it 2m or when i forget lunch.

I am trying to be good with my eating habits and only be bad once or twice a week. yesterday I had a salad for lunch and some green beans and snap peas as a "snack" lol. salad again today, but this time, with some tri tip, i do love me some beef!! and i am trying to cut down on my starbucks addiction..lol

oh how i love thee! Caramel Macchiato!!
