CCO & Ulta haul!

Hey everyone!

Just made a shopping trip this morning with Mama and my aunt, and picked up some lovely goodies!

At the CCO near me, to my utter delight, they got in the Rose Romance collection things! *YAY!* I did not purchase anything from this collection when it came out, because back then I actually had some restraint and self control. *LOL!* So here is what I got:


Blush of Youth Beauty Powder: Soo pretty!
Way to Love lipstick: I love this! Nudey pink color
A Rose Romance lipstick: much more pink than I tend to go for, but its lovely!
Redhead MSF: i've been looking for this for EVER! I love the blonde one, but Brunette is too dark. This is the perfect one!
Moon River mineralize blush (yes the Grand Duos were there too! unbelievable!)
Russian Red lipglass: I am usually not a red lip girl, but I think wearing this gloss over a nude lipstick will be gorgeous in wintertime
Idol Eyes eyeshadow: I love glittery silver shadows


And from Ulta:

Too Faced Natural Eye palette: GORGEOUS! If you love neutral eyes, this is a MUST HAVE! The colors are amazing and the pigmentation is great!
Too Faced Blush in Pinch My Petals: the perfect pink color! I have very fair pale skin, so it is very hard to find a blush that works without looking clownish! Loves it!
Smashbox Eyeshadow Trio in Panorama: This is the purple one. I looove purple eyeshadows, and the nice thing about this trio is that its totally wearable for work and daytime. The lid color is a gray/tan/purple mix (reminds me a lot of Quarry by MAC, actually). And then you can always smoke it out for nighttime! Great for travel too, since they're all in one pot.
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Underground: This is a gorgeous color for a brown look. Its my first 24/7 liner, but definitely not my last!
OPI "Bullish on OPI" polish: From the Espana collection, its a beautiful red! Reminds me of the flamenco dancers I saw in Seville!
Korres Lip Butter in Guava: Smells awesome, super delish feeling on lips, nice creamy white, so you can wear it over a dark lipstick and it will tone it down.
Korres Guava Body Butter: a free sample since I bought a Korres product! I pretty good size sample too, I might add! The smell is delish!!! And of course, since its a body butter, its super moisturizing!


So that's my haulage for the day! Hope everyone has a lovely Labor Day weekend!

Catching up..

I had the opportunity to catch up with my best friend from High School today. It has been about 4 years since we last met up and talked! Hard to believe that! It was so nice to just sit and chat about everything that has been going on lately in our lives. The amazing thing is that even after 10 years, we are still the same people inside that we were as freshmen. Everything and everyone else seems to change, but we are still the same goofball outcasts. I love it.

I also love how after all that time of not seeing each other, we can still get into a comfortable rapport and talk freely about anything and not worry or censor anything. It's refreshing and comforting to have that with someone. I keep so much of my feelings all bottled up inside, because there is usually not one person I am freely and completely comfortable talking to about anything. It was so nice to be able to say what I was thinking and not worry about how he was going to react.

If only I had the courage to act this way with anyone, regardless of what I thought they might say.
