two weeks' worth of haulage + a FOTD & OOTD

Sorry for my absence this past weekend.  I was sick most of last week and through the weekend. :P 

I'm going to be traveling later this week -- to New York City! So I've been busy with that, too (I actually got a lot of my packing done last night, since I'll be working the next couple of nights before I go). I'll be in NYC for five days with my parents. :)  One thing I'm REALLY excited about?  Mom and I will be seeing Chelsea Handler's tour! Eeep! I'm such a huge fan of hers -- I can't wait. :)

Despite all the craziness around here, I did do some shopping in the past couple of weeks, and of course I documented it to share with you lovelies. :)

Sephora (10% off) & Ulta ($25 off!) haul:

Too Faced Neutral Eye palette (see pic below for details), Barbie <3 Stila lip glaze in Pucker Up, Urban Decay Urban Defense tinted moisturizer, Urban Decay eyeshadows in Woodstock and Freelove, Tarina Tarantino eyeshadow in Electric Butterfly, Essie Turquoise & Caicos nail polish, Philosophy Melon Daiquiri lip shine, Too Faced Glamour Gloss in Tickle Me, Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Max, YSL Gloss Pur in Pur Watermelon

Too Faced Neutral Eye palette

Tarina Tarantino Electric Butterfly e/s -- cute packaging!

This weekend's haul:

ScentLAB SAVE Fragrance in 62 Flower Market (this smells amazing, like a blooming garden in a bottle; and only $9.99 for 2oz!), Tresemme FreshStart Dry Shampoo for Oily Hair, Forever21 earrings, MAC Lingering brow pencil (PERFECT for my brows!), MAC Pink Bronze pigment (LOVE this!), Hello Kitty emery board (so tiny it fits in my wallet), Revlon lip glosses in Coral Reef and Pink Pop (great YSL Gloss Pur dupes, in my opinion), Hello Kitty window decal for my car ;), Kimchi Blue wallet

Forever 21 bag (I saw one nearly identical to this at Zara for 4x the price!)

Forever21 dress

And yesterday's outfit of the day...

Sweater: White House Black Market

Watch: "Chanel" (bought in Morocco in '07)

And face... don't have time to type out the deets, unfortunately! :(

And finally, some product swatches....

Comparing Pink Bronze pigment to other MAC products:

I'll try to post again before my trip -- I have so many FOTDs to post! Yikes! I also was asked to do a makeup collection post, and I took all the pictures for that, too.. I just need to get 'em up on here.  Alright, lovelies, it's off to work for me.

See you all soon!

xoxo,

Jess
