Fly Like A G6, Bitch

This mashup rocks my world. I am in LOVE with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and this mashup is just amazing. I had to share. :)







Day 9. Button down, denim skirt, kneesocks, and mary janes. I want me a photog. :B Or a tripod.

Like the mashup? :) Comment and/or share the wealth!

More Nail Polish and a Matte Finisher

Day 8. Augh, terrible, lazy, cop-out outfit today... :( I'm dressed like for summer, and it's supposed to be winter!

2 more makeup orders came in today! 3 $OPI polishes (left to right): Club Queen Scene, Rumba Romance, and Handpicked for Me. The one on the left? Rock & Republic Matte Finisher from a HauteLook.com sale!!! So exciting!! It's so amazing. I instantly had to mattify the $OPI Teal We Meet Again I'm wearing.

NotW! Yeee.
Base color: Sephora by O.P.I. Teal We Meet Again (2 coats)
Top coat: Rock & Republic Essie Clearly Matte finisher (1 coat)
On ring finger: Sephora by O.P.I. Flurry Up Top Coat (1 coat)

Isn't it gorgeous??? It made me like Teal We Meet Again even more. I also added an "accent nail" by just using $OPI Flurry Up top coat and then the matte finisher again. I LOVE both top coats, haha! Worth all of my $$. I'm dying to try E.L.F.'s version of the matte finisher, but it's always out of stock. Has anyone tried E.L.F.'s matte finisher?

Just showing everything from my haul today. The 3 polishes, matte finisher, and the Valentine's Bare Escentuals free gift from Sephora! It came with a full-sized brush and what looks like a full-size of the blush/bronzer duo. Can't wait to try everything! I always love getting the Beauty Insider emails and their free codes. :) I'm slowly making my way to 500 points with the help of friends and group orders~

Day 7



Flew back to LA today~ My shirt was so long it made me look like I wasn't wearing pants...

Just one more week and I'll be done swatching my $OPI holiday set! I am so behind! I have 3 4 makeup orders coming in.... My first of the 3 4 came today: the 100-color E.L.F. palette! I nabbed this for $10 a little while ago but haven't been able to use it because a lot of the eyeshadow pans fell out/broke during shipping...so I emailed E.L.F. about it and they shipped a new palette to me! Wow! I'm surprised they didn't ask for the old one back. I will be testing this out later this week. Thanks to Vivi for showing me her palette during winter break! ♥

Me being a creeper behind my 2(!!) 100 eyeshadow palettes. You can kind of see the broken/loose pan at the top of the front palette. :( It's definitely still useable, just a couple pans loose and a couple colors broken.

My other two three orders are a Sephora order, including 3 new polishes and that Valentine's Bare Escentuals deluxe sample from Sephora, a Rock and Republic matte top coat from HauteLook.com, and a Nars Orgasm nail polish (how could I forget??).

Would anyone be interested in me doing a giveaway for the slightly-broken E.L.F. palette? I would of course include other brand-new, non-broken things too. :P

Day 6

Simple and lazy....

Went to my aunt's house today for a late Chinese New Year lunch. Didn't really feel like dressing up, so cloth pants, t-shirt, and jacket, yay!... So lazy! Lunch was yummy, and we had the usual Asian!fighting-for-the-bill. Except...this time, since we know the restaurant owner, we were fighting with her! Haha! Man she almost didn't let us pay! Craziness. Only in Asian families. Had my dad help play photog today to save the world from my terrible mirror-photo skills.

Thinking of starting a video review/YouTube channel.... Hm!

No Jeans February!

Hey everyone! My friend is doing No Jeans February and I thought it would be a good chance for me to join in and attempt to break away from my daily t-shirt+jeans routine! Also doing it for someone who doesn't like jeans... For you I boycott jeans for 1 month! ♥ :)

I totally wish I had the nifty slideshow thing that Tumblr has.. Or an LJ cut. (LOL too many blogging sites!) Alas, I will just post pics hereee. I started on the 1st so here's my backlog from then. Sorry I took all these by myself using a mirror! I wiiiish I had a photog to follow me around all day and take pics for me, hah.

Ahh, you all see my weirdo face for the first time...*hides*

Feb. 1st - cheating a bit using cloth pants..

Feb 2nd - Wearing my zipper leggings! I need more long shirts for this..

Feb 3rd - Finally trying more! Traveling outfit to fly home in. :)

Feb 4th - Super lazy outfit for doing homework at home...

Feb 5th - Fighting date outfit ;) Hehe, just wanted to wear my boots again!

Good luck to everyone else who is also doing this!

Oh, and today/yesterday....I spontaneously ordered a Nars Orgasm nail polish from eBay..... Random splurging, augh! I'm really excited to get it though! $12.99 with shipping instead of $17 from Sephora (pre-shipping, geez!). I need to not buy any more nail polish, my goodness. I have 3 hauls coming in this week........ Lots of posting to do!

Nails of the Week: Gold and Silver Flurry

Oh gosh, cheesy titles. I wanted to just say "gold and silver" but I thought....I'll probably use gold and silver together again later on, haha.

Base color: Sephora by O.P.I. Looks Like Rain Dear (2 coats)
Tips: Button London Diamond Geezer (2 coats)
Top coat: Sephora by O.P.I. Flurry Up Top Coat (1 coat)

The things I do instead of homework... For some reason though, this combination makes me like Looks Like Rain Dear a lot more than just by itself! Swatches of the holiday collection still coming up. I've been doing once a week because that's how long at least I have to have polish on and not feel bad about wasting. I would love to change my nail color everyday!...My nails and my wallet would hate me.

I love this top coat. It makes everything look so amazing.

November-December Hauls!


There are a LOT of hauls I didn't post yet, kind of because I wanted to swatch them all first...but I thought, ehh why not? Or else I'll probably never get around to it, haha.

Firstly, $58 of Sephora by O.P.I.! 'Cept I only paid $43 for it...yay Beauty Insider!

I got (left->right) Leaf Him at the Altar, Mermaid to Order, Flurry Up Topcoat, Strengthener, and the 2010 Holiday Mini Collection (consisting of Dear Diary, Still Shopping!, Looks Like Rain Dear, Sample Sale, Teal We Meet Again, and Just a Little Dangerous).
Working on swatching these still! My favorites are Mermaid to Order and Teal We Meet Again. :)

I went to the Stila Warehouse sale in LA also and got an eyeshadow in Jade and a Stila smudge pot in Pomegranate. The eyeshadow just came in the pan; the single case for it was bought from Sephora later on.

And my Sephora haul from that day! Kat Von D's Autograph liner in Call Girl and the Stila single refillable eyeshadow pan compact.
Finallyyy, my November Sephora haul!
Benefit's High Beam To Go, an YSL Radiant Touch that was accidentally mailed to me(?), Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer, Stila Make an Impression in Moscow Travel Palette, and some free samples (including a Bare Escentuals brush and mineral veil!).

Can't wait to try/review/swatch all of these~
There's actually a little bit more too from drugstore and another Sephora haul, ehehe.
