This is kinda like a face of the day… at least you’re seeing my face! I did a simple valentines look because we just went out to eat lunch to avoid the dinner crowds. I used a mostly matte cream colored shadow all over the lid and then a taupe, but more on the gray side, shadow all over the lid, concentrating on the contour. Then liquid liner and red lips! That’s it, easy.

We ate at a place called Boulevard Cafe in Daly City

The food was pretty tasty! Here’s the coconut shrimp

Looking at my valentine’s goodies with that one dinosaur from Barney. He was swimming in a sea of candy that was inside the bag. There was Hershey’s Cookies and Cream bars, my favorite!

We made steaks, wait no, FILET MIGNON for dinner! With mushroom gravy, yummm

Hope everyone had a fun Valentines! I know I did!

My First MAC January 14, 2009

This is the first MAC product that I bought for myself! And being the bargain crazed woman that I am, of course I got it at CCO! Like chyeah, of course! And of course I only bought one thing! Cuz I’m broke! Of course

Here it is, I have to admit the packaging just might make up for the fact that it’s out of my price range…

Sorry about the huge shadow. But you get the idea right, like MLBB [my lips but better], neutral-y color. It’s sorda darker in person though, but that’s what it looks like when the sun hits it.

Dramatic Milani Smokey August 10, 2008

I’m finally putting my Milani eyeshadows to good use!

I used Storm on outer v and crease, Silver Bullet on inner lid, Mark eye-mark in Minx [a shimmery taupe] on outer lid. For the highlight I used a bunch of different shadows because it didn’t look right with just Snow Frost, but I don’t really remember all the stuff I used.

Some drama for your mama

I said I would let you know about my hair…well, I didn’t notice a difference using the honey and olive oil mask. So, I’m still on the lookout for a deep conditioner that is affordable! [Or try to find Joico K-pak on sale!]

Red for the First Time! July 27, 2008

I was always hesitant to try out red because it’s such a bold color and I didn’t want to buy a tube of red lipstick only to find out that I didn’t like it. But since getting the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil in Plush Red for about 39 cents at Big Lots, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try! I actually cheated because I was too lazy to remove the Milani Sherbet lip gloss that I had underneath so those two mixed together makes it a kinda coral-red. The NYX pencil on its own is deeper and more like a blue-red.

Please excuse the pimples and wrong shade of foundation haha.
