Hauls and randomness

So I went to the states last week on Sunday and obviously I was excited because going to the states means I GET TO SHOP =D. Here are some of the things I picked up at the Seattle Premium Outlet. From Nine west, I got a pair of Oxford 3 inch heels. Oxfords I have been eyeing for a long time, but I never actually end up buying em. So i'm quite happy that i bought these FINALLY! I wore em today to school and I'm quite stupid to walk to my friends house and back. After that my toes were skinned alive and it hurt for the rest of the day. Ouch! yeah, wear socks kids. They kind of remind me of the shoes Louis IX back in history of France shoes.
It comes with a brown heel if you didn't know =D. These I got for only $45! What a deal.
I really didn't expect to buy anything from Oakley since its kinda like a sport equipement and clothes line, but after i went to go find my sister in that store something caught my eyes!

It doesn't look as nice on picture, but trust it its as sexy as my adidas white shoes <3 .="" alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529585969709966626" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gD5gUNKwLYA/TL0JJHeL5SI/AAAAAAAABQk/4uWdJ-JGDEU/s320/IMG_4626.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;">This shirt I couldn't resist since the kitty cat was soo cute and it reminded me of alice and wonderland (the movie was soo good).
This shirt I also couldn't resist since its totally my style, kinda laid back but with a more refined taste. Giant animals I am totally digging this season for some reason.
The states also means going to their 24 hrs Wal mart! Their wal mart is much better and much better then the Canadian ones and has a lot more variety. My dad loves their insane variety of ice cream *Haggen Daz and Dreyers cough cough* while i just like to shop. So When I saw these lil halloween goodies, I felt like the need to relive my lost Trick or treating childhood and bought some of these for my friends in culinary school to be festive.
I stuffed some of them with these vampire teeth....and
These awesome eye poping glasses.
Shove some candy in these lil thingys...forgot what they are called. Wow, brain fart much?
I'm having too much fun with these glasses... xDD my dog looks so werid with em on.
So anways, that was my short update on life and hauling and everything awesome! Thanks for reading, till next post I will see ya'll later.

ELF master set haul

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, just really busy with life. Culinary school and regular school and air cadets are all stressing me out. I haven't even touched my make up since September, so that's maybe why you haven't seen me posting anything lately.

Yey after long long nights and days, my package came! Well to my friends house cuz my parents don't want me to buy more make up. But NEVER I SAY!! XD Anyways back to business. Here's the whole haul that I...well haha JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD XD. I don't wanna explain myself. Oh look, pretty pink tissue paper. I never had that with my other elf purchases.

Inside the treasure chest is the box full of MAKE UP =DIt might not look like theres a lot in this picture, but trust me, theres a lot.Tada!! All of the make up all layed out. If you want the full list, you can visit elfcosmetics.com.

Click on the link above and click "CLICK FOR DETAILS" on the website and it will show you the list of all the products that come in this kit.Comes with all the ELF elements individual pots, and i'm LOVING all of them. Review later on everything i got! Just give me a change to actually use it first k? Whoo!! liquid eyeliners that I got really excited for. Only ash was all messed up and all clumpy, but other then that I love them! Just not the brush it comes with, I use my Quo angled eyeliner brush to apply. Dayum thats a lot of lip products eh?

Now that was a lot of make up, i know but i really do like elf cosmetics. This set goes for $150 for more then 180 pieces of product, but if you catch it on sale it is well worth your money. Reviews will all come later, but for now you guys can stare at all that eye candy.

Random haul & guilty pleasures & more randomness....

WHOO Walking into Winners (its just like Marshalls in the USA; 60% off designer stuff and retail stuff), I never expect what there is to find. What i like about that store is, there is always surprises. I usually go straight to the make up section, then look at the perfumes, bags and sometimes clothes. When there is nothing else to look at, I go to the cooking section and to my surprise, I found something super useful and cute! Yeah my doggie wanted to be in the shot XD
Basically this mug makes it look like your having Take out starbucks coffee but its reusable and its eco friendly =D. Cool Beans cool beans....Its made out of plastic but the green part is a rubbery holder thing which comes in many other colors, but green is my favorite color =).
It comes with a twisty top which totally made me look like a fool at the store. I was trying to just take it off and i was like "WHY IS IT NOT COMING OFF!!" Then my friend was like "Its a twisty cap dumb fart". Haha my bad =P. The originally price for these are about $10 retail price, but I got it for $7.99 + 12% tax so it comes around $8 something. Not bad not bad.
Also I think it was on Wednesday that I went to fast with putting mascara on my bottom lash with my mascara brush and accidental shoved it in my eye. Not a good idea. Yesterday it started to swell in the tear duct area.
Today I woke up to this :'(. It kinda hurts to blink. The doctor said that its a pimple in my eyelid. Thats soo gross, and now i have to put some cream medicine in my eye lid. ugh...so gross

I also got this simple dark navy stripped shirt from Bluenotes for $10!! its pretty good quality too. I think my taste has turned into European style. Actually I've always had the European taste, but I never actually bought anything like that to spark my imagination. The locket is from forever 21 in the states. I'm digging simplicity.

My favorite lollipop..CHUPA CHIPS!! These ones are better cuz they are mini~ I can't finish one big one. Yeah this is total randomness...but I want a break from reviewing makeup products haha. So Peace~ till next time

ELF mineral lipstick

Lipsticks...where do i begin? Their soo pwettyyy =3....yeah I think my new addiction is lip products. Its not even funny how much lip products I buy but never use. SAYYY WAHHT?? I mean its like starting off with eyeshadow for the first time. I was all shy with my make up so I sticked with browns and neutrals, but now I'm all like bright orange and pinks and all that jazz. Same goes for lipsticks which I only tend to use the nude lip look.

Basically these I heard a lot about on Youtube (ex: Lollipop's HG natural nymph as a dupe for Gosh Darling I believe?) and was very curious about these, but don't really wanted to shell out $5 each. I know thats not really a lot for a lipstick, but if you get as much as I do then it does really add up.
ELF company claims: "Now you can hydrate your lips and get a lasting soft color naturally! This nourishing blend of exotic oils, natural waxes, vitamins and plant extracts create the perfect moisturizing formula. The sleek lipstick has superior color payoff, glides easily onto lips, and is long wearing. Lips stay perfectly hydrated and soft throughout the day for no fuss, lip loving happiness. All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes."
-yes it is quite nourshing
-can't really agree complety with the superior color payoff
-yes they do glide on your lips
-average length of wearing time
-kinda drying
These all come in a nice sleek packaging with its logo on the top of the lid and on the side. For "Made in China" this is pretty high quality. The lid snaps on very nicely, and the lipstick glides on of the tube flawlessly. Thumbs up for packaging. The finish of each tube is quite like the handle of a MAC brush, plastic but with a slight roughness to it.
The lipsticks itself glides on your lips like butter and has a nice color payoff. Only one of them is a sheer finish but other then that, its all good.

Oops, BTW i think I labeled pouty petal and cool coral wrong...its vice versa.
Conclusion:
-price: C+ ($5 each)
-packaging: A
-product quality: B
-Overall quality: B
-Buy again? Only a few--> Natural Nymph and Runway Pink

ELF All over color sticks

After watching one of Kim Kardashian's how-to make up videos on Youtube, I felt very inspired to use a color stick or tint on my cheeks before I put my foundation on to give that really nice flushed look. I have been eye-ing these for a long time, but I always tell myself I don't need it since I have hear a lot of reviews saying that it isn't good. I guess I'm one of those people that won't be satisfied till i actually have it.

ELF Company Claim: "3 in 1 color for your eyes, lips, and or face! Get the color that illuminates for a healthy glow, and instantly soothes and conditions the skin for fresh and natural color all day long."
These come on a little twist thing to get to the product and a clear lid that you just pop on. If you have mini Tarte cheek tints, these are the exact same same and exact same packaging but just a little bit more simple. I wouldn't say these are cheap looking, but my lilac petal just breaks apart all weird.

As for the texture, it is kinda a little bit dry and too solid to work as a cheek tint. To solve that problem, you can just use your fingers to warm it up and dab it on your cheeks or where ever your using it on your face. Although the texture is a little bit hard to work with, the glowy-ness iit gives is really nice. I think most people would just buy spotlight as a highlight, but it is a little bit concealer ish. This is basically the only way I use these, as a cheek tint or highlighting. Also it is very hard to blend out and some of the colors are a little bit to shimmer to work with.

Conclusion:
-price: B ($1 each)
-packaging: C+
-product quality: C+
-Overall quality: C+
-Buy again? No
