New High-End Foundations, Miami- Sephora Haul & More.

2010-08-09T23:07:00.007-04:00

I know, I know - shame on me! The last time I blogged, I had promised that I was back for good. So much for keeping promises, Krista! To tell you the truth, I was lacking inspiration- sort of like writers block. I really missed you all on my ongoing MIA, Hiatus- whatever you want to call it! I have accumulated quite a bit of makeup so be sure to check back often- for I will have numerous hauls including make-up (of course) and fashion! I will also be hosting my second giveaway, so be sure to check back for that as well! This time around I assure you all that I will continue to show this blog some love. So with that said, to get back into the groove of things, I will start off by showing you all my recent foundation purchases as well as my Miami- Sephora Haul.

L to R: NARS Sheer Glow in Syracuse, YSL Radiance Smoothing Foundation in #1, Chanel Vitalumiere in #50 Natural & MUFE HD Foundation in #153.
*I am currently testing out these foundations therefore, I will have reviews to look out for in the near future!

MUFE Flash Color Palette
*First impresstion, I LOVED IT!!

L to R: Givenchy Le Prisme Blush in #25 In Vogue Orange, MUFE HD Blush in #6 Quickie & Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek in Parasol
*It was a must that I picked up new blushes for my already massive collection!

L to R: YSL Gloss Pur in #8 (limited edition), Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in #436 Apricot Cloche
*Lately I haven't been much of a gloss wearer but these were too gorgeous to pass up!

L to R: NARS Lipstick in Barbarella & NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base
*Barbarella is the perfect corally-nude! There has been many great reviews on the NARS eye base, I'll give you my review as soon as I give it a try!

Urban Decay Naked Palette
*It was love at first sight when this palette was reviewed online!

That concludes the first batch of my never-ending haulage. If you want me to review anything, do not hesitate to ask :) Now making my come back to blogger, I decided to make a drastic change...i'll let the pictures speak for itself ;)

Phase one of lightening my hair!

Phase two of lightening my hair, I dyed underneath a dark brown. I am also wearing the MUFE HD Foundation in this pic and I am loving it!!

What do you think of my drastic change?

Love it?

Hate it?

Hello lovely ladies + Twitter account....

2010-04-14T23:41:00.003-04:00

I know, I know...shame on me for ignoring my beloved blog but I promise I'm back for good! I miss all you sexy ladies but I assure you I've been keeping tabs on your blogs =P My everyday ritual consists of checking my e-mail, logging onto FB, keeping up with my blogger world and indulging myself with all your lovely posts, watching vids on youtube and my new found obsession with Twitter :) Speaking of twitter follow me.....

@KristaCherie

I haven't been hauling make-up as much as I used to but I did pick up all 4 lippies from the MAC Give Me Liberty of London Collection. I'm pretty sure you all know what those lippies look like but I've been on a lippie craze. Be sure to look out for my next blog post for most of the things I've hauled these past couple months ;) Speaking of hauling, I recieved the 15% discount for Sephora. I'm lemming towards purchasing MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Blush in 6 Quickie, TARINA TARANTINO Dollskin Cheek in Parasol, Too Faced Aqua Bunny Crème to Powder Splash Proof Bronzer in Bronze, Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Bronzer & YSL Rouge Volupte in 30 Faubourg Peach. I feel I should take advantage of this because its quite rare for Cosmetics to be discounted. I am open to any other suggestions you all may have. What did you lovely ladies order from the Sephora sale?

UPDATE!!!

2009-12-23T06:36:00.004-05:00

I know, I know I've been slacking on my beloved blog but I am still here, alive and doing better and better each day. My last post was very indepth and personal and I would like to thank all the ladies that enlightened me with such kind words. Words can't even express how greatful I am to have readers like YOU! On a brighter note, I couldn't be happier! :)

Christmas is literally just around the corner and I still need to do some last minute shopping! Walmart has been my saviour these past couple days, being that its open 24 hours!!! Wait I have a story for you all, I know I'm rambling but please read on....A bunch of friends and I went clubbing last Saturday. We have a "tradition" that after clubbing, we go to this famous Vietnamese Restaurant located downtown. I guess its our way of trying to recouperate after being intoxicated lol. Well anyways, after we finished eating our yummy "pho", my friends and I still wanted to chill out. My friend had a splendid idea of going to Walmart! Mind you, it was already 3am but I have to say, going to Walmart in the wee hours of the morning will definitely avoid those horrid crowds!!! There were literally 10 shoppers in the entire store including us! Sooo if your a night-person just like me, I suggest hitting up Walmart if you still need to finish up your Christmas shopping ;)

So onto more Beauty-Related things, I took a break from hauling make-up. But that break was short lived, I caved in and hauled these past 2 months! My next post will be my major make-up haulage, possibly some Christmas gifts and my boxing day haul!! I'll leave you all with some pictures taken this past month! Hope you like em' ;)

Outfit of the Night

Top: Guess
Skirt: F21
Belt: Topshop

2009-09-24T18:55:00.005-04:00

Hello my lovely beauty bloggers, I'm back again with another haul. It seems like all I do nowadays are hauls but you guys don't mind, right? Anywho, I placed an order on macpro.com on Tuesday and I recieved it Thursday morning. Talk about super fast shipping!! I totally skipped out on the Make-Up Art Cosmetics Collection because nothing enticed me. I waited it out for a bit until the Style Black Collection came out so I compiled previous collections into one haul(luckily the stuff I wanted were still available). So enough with my jibberish, I'll show you what I got! ;)

FLIRT WITH FALL

#48 & #44

TREND F/W '09

Red Full-Stop & Costa Chic(not part of the collection but I got yet another backup!!! lol)

DAZZLEGLASS CREME

Creme Allure & Do It Up

STYLE BLACK

Volcanic Ash Exfoliator & Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask

Greasepant Stick in Black

I ordered another Studio Fix in NC42 because mine cracked and I couldn't stand it anymore!! I also ordered a pre made quad for my aunt in the Philippines. It contains Shroom, All That Glitters, Tempting & Mulch. Hopfully she likes it!!

Okay so I entered an online contest on: www.annabellemakeupjunkie.com(canadian drugstore makeup brand), I submitted my entry you can find me under "MAKEUP JUNKIES" in the "GALLERY" section. If your curious about the prize its each winner will receive a professional makeup case (retail value of $75) filled with $1000 worth of annabelle cosmetics! So what is going to happen is each week, the Annabelle jury will select 20 semi-finalists based on the pertinence of their confession (50%) and photo (50%), and post them in the VOTE section of this website. So wish me luck on that portion!! I will keep you guys updated if I make it or not. Hopfully I get through and win this because I'll be giving out most of it to all of you :) This is the picture I submitted:

And this was my second choice....

ARITZIA FASHION SHOW + WEEKEND HAULAGE

2009-08-23T22:37:00.004-04:00

So if you all don't know what Aritzia is, its a Canadian-based clothing store founded and created in Calgary, AL. I must say, this has to be by far my fav clothing store. I have been shopping there ever since I first started high school. Aritzia has their own brands such as TNA & Talula, just to name a few. They also carry Rock & Republik, Sevens and other high scale brands. If you live in the U.S or internationally, I urge you to visit Aritzia if you ever plan a trip to Canada, preferably Toronto please :) You will not be disappointed.

My B.F.F and I were invited to Aritzia's Exclusive Fashion show showcasing their Fall/Winter 2009 line. I was impressed with many of their pieces! I took alot of pictures but most of them turned out blurry, BOO :( Anywho, here are some pictures from that night.

LATE BIRTHDAY POST & Ramblings! ;)

2009-08-12T05:33:00.003-04:00

Pre-Birthday DRAMA!! Okay soo it seemed like everything was going wrong just days before my Birthday! I couldn't find a dress and to make matters worse, I went to the salon to get highlights put into my hair and it turned that fobby orange colour! I was soo upset that I wanted to cancel my plans and just celebrate at home eating my Baily's Cheesecake! Lukily my friends were there as my supporters to help me out!! They told me that I didn't need to buy a new dress because I have a million dresses in my closet that I have never worn and that I would find something! They also told me to call my salon and tell them I wasn't satisfied with my hair! So I did both, I found a purple dress hiding in my closet that I totally forgot about and went BAM that is the one! I also went to my salon and ended up dying my whole head back to black! I guess something is bound to go wrong and in the end everything will be alright ;)

So I celebrated my Birthday last week on Monday, August 3rd. I must say, I had an incredible time! First, I started off with lunch with the fam at Canyon Creek. Surprisingly my ex, decided to show up and celebrate that portion of my Birthday with me. I guess it was nice of him to come and somehow make me feel special. Shockingly, my family members didn't question our status since they all know we aren't an item anymore. Don't get me wrong, he will always be welcomed into our family, but to know we aren't together is just a bummer. Anywho, it was a nice and relaxing lunch filled with steak, ribs and all that good stuff....

After lunch, I went home and got ready for my night out popping bottles ;) I had a booth reserved at this club called Mink. It was on the rooftop patio and wow is all I can say! Everyone I had invited came through and we partied, danced and drank. FUN, FUN, FUN! I celebrated my Birthday along with this guy I used to talk to back in the day. His Birthday is the day after mine, how coincidental is that? This guy is such a sweetheart, I feel like I lost out on an amazing guy because I was too blinde from love. Anyways, if anyone wants to know more about him I can go into detail in another post. I should really start a personal blog about relationships LOL! I was the first one to say Happy Birthday to him at 12 and I could tell he felt special ;) Okay I'm going off topic LOL! Overall, I had an amazing night and I can't wait to do it again next year ;) Here are a couple of pictures from the night...

KristaCherie, why have you been MIA??

2009-07-28T03:34:00.002-04:00

I've seriously missed you all soo much! Don't think I have forgotten about you because I haven't. I do my daily check ups on all my fav blogs but recently I guess I haven't had any inspiration to blog. There are days when I feel really down that all I want to do is just hibernate myself from reality and sleep. I guess the breakup I had a couple months ago with my ex is really taking a toll on me now. We still talk and see each other here and there, act like we're together and then not talk for weeks. I know its not healthy especially for myself because I do not want to become that vulnerable girl. How is a girl that gets anything she wants, has the best family and friends still unhappy? Anyways, enough with my mellow-dramatic side, I just needed to vent and being its 3:46am and I cannot sleep, I thought this would be the perfect place. Oh a positive note, my Birthday is in exactly 6 days and boy am I going to party it up! I'm turning 23 but I don't feel it or look it. I still use student fare when I take public transportation and that usually stops when you turn 18 LOL! I've also been hauling like a mad woman so I guess my next few blogs will be of various hauls that I have been accumulating for the past couple months both make-up and fashion. Anywho, I hope you all had a sense of whats been going on with me being I was MIA, but I'm back.....THE BITCH IS BACK...... LOL!

MY SEXY LADIES!!! I've missed you all soo much! I'm sorry for being M.I.A for a while, I've been really really busy with my social life. The reason being, is because my ex-boyfriend and I broke up about a month ago. I won't go into detail, but I must say that I am now a happier person. I think every woman should put themselves first before any man! I'm glad I did what I had to do to save my sanity. Anyways, enough of the DRAMA!!! I did some haulage this past couple weeks but I'm going to showcase that in my next post sometime this week. I seriously have been having the time of my life, I've been clubbing like crazy and catching up with old friends. It feels sooo good to be single again!!! You can be the judge of that! Check out these pictures....ENJOY:)

I'm actually thinking of taking Latin Ballroom classes now! Its such a HOT and SENSUAL dance LOL, well thats of course of you got a hot dance partner ;) Anywho, here is the look I went for last night:

I LOVE MY BLACK SMOKEY EYE ;)

I was on the MAC PRO website and I came across this bag:

THE ZUCA BAG

$335CAN
I think being a MUA, it is great to have something like this. A traincase sometimes is a pain in the ass but the Zuca Bag can fit alot more. I know, I know, it's pretty expensive but to me it's well worth it. I hope to get this baby by next month! For more information check out the main ZUCA website.

This was a long ass post!! LOL! I hope all you ladies had a grand day!! I'm sooo happy it's FRIDAY tomorrow!!! WOO HOO! Party timeee!!! ;)

SALLY'S BEAUTY SUPPLY HAUL + SEPHORA-LAURA MERCIER HAUL

2009-04-01T00:11:00.006-04:00

I've been BAD, I bought make-up again today! Never make promises you cannot keep! LOL, rule of thumb! Overall, I'm happy with my purchases so I guess thats all that matters, right?? Today my mom and I went to Sally's Beauty. I was surprised we even had one here in Toronto, I usually went to the one in the States. I was shocked when the employees told me they were opened for about 4 years! Where have I been?? Afterwards, I had dinner at my aunts place and then my best friend called me. She asked me if I wanted to get frozen yogurt at the mall because she was craving it. So, I met her there and asked her if we can "browse" around Sephora. We went in and it was literally 5 minutes until close. I did some major Laura Mercier damage, can you imagine in just 5 MINUTES?? The director in charge helped me choose the popular and most wanted products. According to him, Laura Mercier is known for foundations. He was really pleasent, he game me a shitload of samples! He's awesome! Anywho, enough rambling check out my haulage....

Sorry I didn't do any swatches of everything, I'm going to go back to Sephora and try everything out just incase I got the wrong colour, shade etc. I was looking on the Sephora website and I think I may have gotten the wrong shade of the tinted moisturizer. I may be the golden radiance because it's more golden whereas the warm radiance it has more of a pinky undertone. It's a new shade and they didn't have it at my Sephora, I may have to exchange it when it comes in.

I am soo excited!!! I ordered the Babyliss Hot Pink Conical Wand (Wide Barrel) from lookfantastic. It's 19-33MM and it comes with a heat matt and heat protective gloves. lookfantastic is a UK site, but they ship world wide. My total came up to 34.64GBP which eqauled to about $60CAD. I think thats a decent price considering I haven't seen a concial wand anywhere. I just recently started loving curling my hair so I think this was a GREAT investment. If I love this, I will definitely get the Slim Barrel, 13-25MM. Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful day! I'll be posting a LOTD on Thursday because I'm going Latin Dancing tomorrow night ;) Goodnight hotties ;)...

ANOTHER MAC HAUL/ ANOTHER REWARD....

2009-03-31T01:34:00.004-04:00

So today in class, my friend had some MAC goodies for me!!! I was so happy :) Last Saturday, my classmate Natalie told me her aunt worked for the MAC distribution company. She informed me that her aunt got an extremely awesome discount and that I should definitely pick some stuff up! I had alot of errands to run, so I wasn't able to go. She told me to give her a list of what I wanted and just text it to her. I didn't want to go all crazy because I'm a very indecisive person. Luckily, she told me that next week Friday she was going to go and that I could come along!! :) Here is what was on my short, sweet list :)....

Lipsticks in Up the Amp, Vegas Volt & Chatter Box

Paint Pots in- TOP: Delft, Indianwood, Rubenesque & Painterly
BOTTOM: Greenstroke, Bare Study & Girl Friendly
I played around with some of the colours in class, hence the ones that don't look soo pretty! LOL

#209 Lip Brush
Natalie's aunt is such a doll, she gave me this cute little lip brush. It's good for getting into the crevices and the corners of the lips! That's all I got for now. I'm definitely going next Friday.
I really should start bringing my camera to class. We are currently learning how to block eyebrows. It looks really weird and cool at the same time. I'll take pictures tomorrow for those of you who are curious about how it looks like to have no eyebrows at all! LOL! Expect pictures tomorrow!

I want to thank addictd2fashn for awarding me with an award! :) YOU ARE TOO HOT GIRL! I was just reading you're 10 Random Things and I am also an only child...doesn't it feel sooo good?? LOL!

xoxo

WEEKEND HAUL :)

2009-03-29T23:55:00.004-04:00

This weekend flew by soo fast, I can't even believe it! Over the weekend, I did some haulage! I know, I have to stop but you know I love to shop! What girl doesn't? LOL! Okay, so enough with my rambling and let me begin...

MAC

VIVA GLAM VI Special Edition
I fell in love with this colour! Its sort of like a Pinky-mauve colour that can be used everyday! And if anyone wants to know its a "Luster".

L to R: #227, #272, #219, #242, #231, & #208.

CHANEL

I love the packaging

Moisturizing Bronzing Powder in 63 Terre Ambre

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche
I mentioned in one of my previous posts that when I was purchasing something from Chanel, the MUA sprayed the tissue paper with this certain Chanel fragrance! I went back and literally smelled all the Chanel fragrances that were displayed. Chanel Chance is love!!

CHAPTERS

These two books were highly recommended to me by my teacher. If you're a MUA, these books have great references! Even if you are really interested in make-up, it's a great way to start learning different techniques! Pick them up if you haven't!!

FOREVER 21

$31.80 CND

ALDO HAUL

ORIGINALLY: $134.99 ON SALE: $67.49

If you have any requests or reviews on the products I have purchased, feel free to ask, don't be shy :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Hopefully, this week I'll be able to show you all my massive make-up collection! Take Care Lovers ;) xoxo

ANOTHER AWARD :) / FOTD

2009-03-26T01:21:00.002-04:00

AWARD!
thanks to valiohh
*SHE IS ONE FINE BITCH!!! Check her out if you haven't already

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant."

“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

1. When it comes to men, I have VERY high standards.There are too many assholes out there!
2. I'm pretty much the only one I'm my whole entire family that is into make-up and fashion. Well except my grandma, I guess I inherited it from her ;)
3. When I was going through a rough time in my life, my dad bought me a dog. His name is Princeton, he is a Pomeranian and I love him soo much!!
4. I recently got this crazy obsession with make-up. I find myself buying make-up just for the hell of it. But then again, it will all come to use because I am a MUA.
5. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE black eyeshadow!! No matter how many people tell me to experiment with colours on myself, I always end up going over it with black eyeshadow!!
6. I'm sorry but I HATE people that bore me. I love intelligent conversations. I find it very awkward when there is complete silence between the two parties.
7. I have an incredible relationship with my mother. She is an amazing woman :)

I tag all my followers!!! YOU ALL ARE GREAT!!!! Many of you have already done this, so if you're following me and reading this I NOMINATE YOU!!! YEAH, YOU!!!

FOTD: This look is nothing new to anyone. Here, I'm just using Lavender Whip, which I completely love! Good thing I got myself a backup because it is a LE item.

Thanks for all the love during this "down time" that I am having. I do really appreciate it and I also appreciate all of you...xoxo

GIRLS NIGHT OUT; SEX & THE CITY STYLE ;)

2009-03-23T01:43:00.003-04:00

Last night I went out with my girls!!! I really needed this time to go out and party because I'm going through some shit right now. No need to worry anyone, I'm fine :) I'm just glad I still got my girls to fall back on whenever something negative happens in life. So anywho, we all went to this club called, "LOTT 332"! We got there pretty late around 1:30ish but being the sexy bitches that we are, hustled the bouncers and got in for free :) LOVES IT!!! I hate going out clubbing and having to pay for cover and drinks, just ain't my thing ;) I totally forgot to take some pictures of my make-up last night. ENJOY :)

SEX & THE CITY NIGHT OUT

I know, I know pretty scandelous lol. For all of you who want to know where I got my outfit, here is the breakdown:
Top: Zara
Bra: Victoria's Secret
Skirt:Urban Outfitters
Purse:BCBG

Well my loves this is going to be a short post! Thanks again for all my followers and those who always leave me lovely comments. I do really appreciate it :)

Hopefully the situation I'm in has a conclusion....I'll be okay...

MAC SUGAR SWEET HAUL/ SEPHORA-DIOR HAUL

2009-03-21T02:01:00.004-04:00

Hello my sexy ladies!! I recieved my Sugar Sweet Haul on Thursday but I didn't get to blog because I started school that day and I was sooo tired! Anywho, its 2:25AM EST and my best friend is sleeping at my house. She looks soo peaceful :) I'm trying not to make as much noise as possible because she has work at 9:30AM, SUCKS!! Okay so now on to my haul....

MAC SUGAR SWEET COLLECTIVE HAUL

MSF in Perfect Topping

Eyeshadows in Aquavert & Dear Cupcake

Shadesticks in Lemon Chiffon, Butternutty, Cakeshop & Red Velvet

Lipsticks in Bubbles, Lollipop Lovin & Saint Germaine (I got a backup for Lollipop Lovin & Saint Germaine lol)

Nail Polish in Peppermint Patti

Brushes in #116 & 129(Special Edition from Monogram)
I love everything that I got! I think I'm going to go back to MAC and get the other MSF in Refined. What I didn't like so much from this collection was the lipglosses. They were so shear and if you ask me, pretty tacky. I think MAC could have done a better job on those. Sorry, thats just my two cents. Okay, so after school I went to the mall becuse I wanted to pick up more LUSH stuff and check out some more clothes at FOREVER21! Let me tell you, there is only one FOREVER21 here in Toronto, CA and BIG MISTAKE going on a Friday! It was soo packed and it was like a rampage in there!! I managed to pick up leggings which are see-through and sooo cute

15.80 CND
I went back to LUSH because I loved the sample pack I got and I had to get another one. I also picked up a toner in "Breath of Fresh Air", which I previously got a sample of. I also got a bodybutter in "Emperor of Icecream". LUSH is my new found love and my current addiction lol.
Afterwards, I went to Sephora and went Dior crazy....

SEPHORA-DIOR HAUL

5 Couleurs Iridescent in #809 Petal Shine & #009 Sky Glow

Pro Cheeks in #815 Limelight & Diorshow Powder in #003 Rode Defile

Diorskin Forever Compact in #040 Honey Beige & High Volume Lip Plumper

Dior Bronze Sun Powder Spray in #001 Light Tan

That's all my haulage :) BTW, for those who were wondering I'm currently in school for Make-up. I am considered a qualified Make-up Artist because I went to college and took a Cosmetology program. That course was more retail based and I was taught just the basics. Now, I'm at a school (also a college) that focuses on Make-Up and Make-up only. I love it, in the coming weeks we are going to be learning bout different eras so look out for pictures!! ;)....xoxo

Shoutout to FAITH a.k.a iluvnursing2006 thanks for being such a life saver and offering to purchase the YSL Powder for me :) E-mail me at mizz.krizz@gmail.com and tell me what it is you want from Gosh Cosmetics. We do carry the line here because I actually saw it today :)

FASHION HAUL/ LUSH REVIEW/ ATTN: AMERICAN READERS

2009-03-19T01:36:00.004-04:00

Okay so along with my cosmetic purchases, there are also my fashion purchases. I am soo sick of this cold dreadful weather that I am soo ready for Summer to come. I still have about 3 months to work out before I start showing some skin ;) Anywho, on to my fashion hauls.

FOREVER 21

$31.90 CND

$31.90 CND

GUESS

$89 CND

$59 CND

ONSALE $34 CND

URBAN OUTFITTERS

$58 CND

$189 CND

I'm very satisfied with my purchases and I think this is the best time to shop for spring/summer clothing. It's funny because just when summer starts, they bring out the fall line. So get you're spring/summer wardrobe now!!

Okay well yesterday I told you all about the LUSH promotion they are having at the moment. I tried it out and my skin feels soo soft it it looks radiant and fresh. Hopefully, I don't break out form this new skin care regime. Again, if you want to try out LUSH products I can't stress enough that you should try out this sample kit now!

I think I mentioned yesterday that you get 7 products but my mistake, you only get 5. The cleanser, toner tab, fresh face mask, muslin cloth and moisturizer. Since you get 2 of every product, I suggest you bring in a friend so that they too can try out the LUSH products. Who knows, this might be a new miracle for you're skin ;)

I was kind of sad today, well not really. I didn't recieve my order from MAC which contains the Sugar Sweet Collection. Hopefully, I'm crossing my fingers, it comes in tomorrow. I'll definitely be showing you all what I got.

ATTENTION TO ALL MY READERS IN THE STATES: I've been dying to get the YSL MATT TOUCH COMPACT FOUNDATION Long-Lasting Matt Finish SPF 20 but they don't sell it here in Canada. Sadly, we are delayed when it comes to everything so we might end up recieveing this product during the fall :(

If anyone wants to help a Canadian Gal out and custom purchase this for me, I'll purchase whatever it is you are lemming for at the moment plus I will include some bonus extras. I know this may sound like alot to ask, but I'm DYING for this!!! Thank you :)

I'll be back tomorrow....xoxo

MAC HAUL/ SEPHORA HAUL/ CHANEL HAUL + YSL HAUL....

2009-03-18T01:09:00.005-04:00

Hey my sexy ladies. Sorry I've been absent for a couple of days, I've been really busy. Anywho, upon my busy schedule I made time to shop and did some damage again.

MAC HAUL

Grand Duos in Love Rock & Intenso #188 Brush

MAC Paintpot in Blackground, Lipstick in Lavender Whip(I got a backup) & Kitty Kouture Dazzleglass

SEPHORA

NARS & BENEFIT

NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Egea & BENEFIT Blush in Coralista

FRESH

High Noon(Face Glow), Rose(Face Primer), Lipglosses in Sugar Glory & Sugar Charm
I looked up reviews on High Noon and Rose. Both had outstanding reviews and were recommended so I am very happy about that. I had also bought Twilight(Face Luminizer) and it is also highly recommended. Basically the High Noon is a face bronzer, the Rose is a face primer and the Twilight is a face luminizer. I will do a more thorough review when I use these products!

DIOR

Radience Booster Pen in 003 Eclat Abricot Sunbeam, Harmonie De Blush in 002 Coral Riviera & Spray Foundation in 400 Honey Beige

CHANEL

Joues Contrase in In Love

Natural Loose Powder in 40 Dore

Poudre Precieuse Or (Holiday 08 Limited Edition)
When I got home and took out my products from the cute little Chanel Bag, there was this amazing scent on the wrapping paper. I think the MA sprayed the wrapping paper with perfume and I want to know which one it is!! A few of the CHANEL perfumes that I've smelt, smell too "old lady" for me but this one was sooo fresh! If anyone, happens to know which one I'm talking about please let me know :)

YVES ST. LAURANT

Semi-Loose Powder Natural Radiance in #3 Amber

Told you I did some serious damage. On Monday, I ordered products from the Sugar Sweet Collection, so stay tuned for that. I should be getting it in either tomorrow or Thursday. I can't wait!!!! :) This is sort of random but I have a new addiction and its LUSH! I think everything is soo genius! Right now, they are having this promotion where you get 7 products, 6 of them being sample sized and 1 being a full sized face mask for only $20! The great part about it, is that you and a friend can try it out because you get 2 of each product except you only get 1 face mask. I have normal skin so I ended up geting the Ultra Blend Cleanser, Vitamin C Toner Tab, Gorgeous Face Moisturizer & Sacred Truth Mask. I was with my girl Tina, so I told her she should try out the products. She has acne-prone skin so she also got the Ultra Blend Cleanser, Tea Tree Toner Tab, & the Vanish Cream. It sucked that she wasn't able to get a face mask however, her's would have been Cupcake. If you want more informaton about this promotion visit their website @ www.lushusa.com

I'm still up blogging and its 2:00am EST and I start my second semester of school tomorrow! Why am I still up? Luckily, I don't start until 1:00pm, so I still get to sleep in a bit!! I'm planning to stop by MAC tomorrow because I can backtomac 2 items!!! Hopefully, thats all I'll come home with even though I've been interested in paintpots so maybe just 1 or 2 of those ;) That's all for now but I'm 110% sure I'll be back tomorrow....xoxo

MINI LUSH HAUL/ SHOE HAUL/ COACH HAUL/ CLUBBING PIX :)

2009-03-08T22:47:00.006-04:00

This weekend has flown by soo quickly, don't you ladies think? I was quite busy this weekend. On Friday I went downtown with my good friend Brittney and we ended up at Eaton Centre which is a mall. I was able to contain myself and only had a few purchases. Later that night, we decided to go clubbing, which is so out of the ordinary for me, since I'm soo past that clubbing phase. Overall we had a good time since we didn't pay a cent for anything, enterance and drinks! So, YAY to that!! On Saturday, I spent the day with my boyfriend and my bestfriend. The three of us watched "WATCHMAN" which SUCKED! OMG so not worth watching! My bestfriend and I were on our cell phones the whole time logged onto FACEBOOK! LOL After watching that dreadful movie we went for a latenight dinner at CASEY'S!! The bestie and I's fave spot! My bestie is going through a terrible breakup with her STUPID EX, so right now I'm here for her! Break-up's suck right? Uhhh, I don't even want to get into that! LOL! Anywho, today my boyfriend and I slept in until 5pm? OMG, right? LOL! For those who are curious, here are the purchases I made on Friday:

LUSH HAUL

Honey I Washed The Kids Soap, Therapy Massage Bar, Mask of Magnaminty, Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar and 2 Soap Samples of Sexy Peel and Rock Star.

My initial thoughts....I am happy with my purchase and can't wait to try these all out! Honey I Washed The Kids smells sooo good! It's a best seller and the description on the site says it cleanses and moisturizes sensitive skin. The Therapy Massage Bar is also another best seller and it minimizes scars and stretch marks. The Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar helps skin to gleam. It has an amazing scent and it adds an irridecent slow to my skin!

SHOE HAUL

SEYCHELLES ORG:$98 CND ONSALE:$20 CND

REPORT $110 CND

I bought both of these shoes from URBAN OUTFITTERS! That store never fails me! I love my SEYCHELLES Shoes because I needed a black pump and these were perfect because it had that gold trimming. The REPORT shoes were just too cute to pass especially with the price tag, but I fell in LOVE. The bow is just too cute!

COACH HAUL

PARKER OP ART CONVERTIBLE HIPPIE $278 CND

I'm such a sucker for purses!! This is my second purse purchase of the week! I just love it! It's a great bag for the spring. I just realized a second ago that this purse matches my REPORT shoes :) YAY!!!

CLUBBING PICS

Top:GUESS Micro Mini Skirt:MARCIANO Tights: ??? Shoes: NINE WEST

Here I am wearing MAC's SNOB, I told you it looks kinda porn starish LOL!

That's it for now....xoxo

2009-03-05T23:12:00.007-05:00

WOW! That's all I can say! I went shopping today and I swear I just couldn't contain myself! Okay enough with the blabbering....

SEPHORA HAUL

KORRES

Wild Rose Regimen Kit

This was such an impulse buy! I didn't realize that I already had 3 of the 5 products that were in this kit. It's highly likely this is going back but I plan to purchase the White Tea Facial Cleanser and the Evening Primrose Eye Cream.

Body Butters, Wild Rose Brightening Against Skin Imperfections & Lip Butter in Quince
Sher a.k.a lolitariot actually recommended me the body butters & the lip butter, so I will definitely give them a try. This harsh cold winter has been drying me out! Not a good look. LOL!

FRESH, NARS, MUFE, GUERLAIN & ANASTASIA

Fresh Twilight Face Glow, NARS Single Shadow in Baby Girl, MUFE Shadow in #92, Guerlain 2 Brush Mascara & Anastasia Clear Brow Gel.

I bought the original Miss Dior Cherie and I love it, but I love this version even more!!! A MUST HAVE!!!

YVES ST LAURANT HAUL

Rouge Volupte in #1, #7 & #8 and Gloss Pur in #3.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these lippies, they are soo smooth!!

GUESS HAUL

I don't normally shop at GUESS, but I decided to give it a try. I'm very picky when it comes to purses and I really wanted a BIG WHITE PURSE. Luckily, they had one there and it was perfect! I usually found GUESS bags to be kind of tacky, but I fell in love with this particular one!! Also, the wedges are GREAT for the summer. I wanted an everyday fashionable shoe that I can wear out and feel comfortable in at the same time :)

FOREVER 21 HAUL

URBAN OUTFITTERS HAUL

Well my loves, that concludes my HAUL of the day! I know, I know it's alot, but sometimes you have to spoil yourselves :) Just be happy with what you have!

Oh before I forget, alot of people like the way I do my eyeliner. So here is a close up pic of how it looks like. Don't mind my brow hairs, I'm in desperate need of some threading! LOL

Goodnight....xoxo

FOTD/ DUTY-FREE HAUL/ MAC BRUSH COLLECTION/ BEBE DRESSES!!

2009-03-04T22:45:00.007-05:00

Today I decided to do a look that had some "punch". This is totally out of my normal look, but overall I loved how it turned out. Judging from my past FOTD's I'm more of a smokey-eyed girl but this is what I came out with. Firstly let's start out with the products I used:

-UDPP
-NARS Duo Shadow in Rated R
-MAC Lashes in #7
-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliners in Black
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-NARS Blush in Desire
-NARS Lipstick in Funny Face

HOT! HOT! HOT!

When I did my States Haul I forgot to include pictures of the stuff I got from Duty Free. I think it's a "must see", if you ask me. So here is what I got.

All boxed up!

TADA!! Miss Dior Cherie Parfume, Dior Ultra Gloss Reflect Trio (Full Size), Dior Travel Brush Set (Lip, Eye, Face, Cheek Brush)

Next, here is my growing collection of MAC brushes. I have a ton of other professional brushes, but I just recently started collecting the MAC ones for my own use.

L-R: 134, 187, 165, 109, 195, 217, 226, 214, 318

I also have the 239 which has to be my HOLY GRAIL brush! I love it, I want to purchase another one because the logo is already off!!! :( I HATE when that happens!!! Hopefully, my next brush purchase will consist of the 116, 150, 168, 188, 209, 219, 222, 227, 242, & 272! Wow that's alot!! LOL! While I'm still on the topic of MAC, I just logged into their site a second ago and KITTY KOUTURE is out!!! I'm lemming towards both of the Dazzleglass in Dazzlepuss & Kitty Kouture! I'm going to the mall tomorrow so I just might snag them both!! =\ Anywho, I recieved a package today and guess what I finally got!!!!

My Studio Sculpt Concealer!!! YAY
Now, I can FINALLY do a review on it, so wait for that! I also got Angel Lipstick and Crosswires Lipstick, both of them are real pretty :)

Angel & Crosswires

For all of you that love fashion, just as much as make-up like myself, I sometimes like to look cute but most of the time I like to look sexy ;) I bought both these dresses from BEBE around Christmas time but I haven't got a chance to wear them. I'm an impulse buyer, if i LOVE it then I have to buy it! This pretty much sums up what my definition of cute and sexy is. Firstly, this is CUTE:

Tiered Pleating Dress $228CDN
Lastly, this is SEXY:

Sullie Corset Dress $172 CND

Do you ladies agree?

WOW, this was a pretty long picture heavy post! I'm 100% sure I'll be blogging tomorrow because I'm going to the mall =\ Hopefully I don't do much damage! Thank you all again and again for reading. Oh yes before I forget VALIOHH please contact me with you're information so I can send you you're prize!! I'm quite sure I'll be hosting another contest very soon!!! Love you ladies....xoxo

CONTEST WINNER/ FOTD/ SMALL CHANEL HAUL

2009-03-04T00:37:00.007-05:00

Hello my hotties! Sorry I've been away for a couple of days, I've been pretty busy.

I really appreciate all the kind and thoughtful comments and also, just being able to share my love of make-up with you all!

CONGRATULATIONS VALIOHH!!!!!

To claim you're prize, please e-mail me at mizz.krizz@gmail.com Hope to hear from you soon! :)

Earlier today, I went out with one of my good friend Paulette and her daughter, which is my god-daughter. Her name is Ariyanna and she is the most precious princess ever! We went to the mall and I ended up buying her a bunch of clothes and some stuffed animals. Who can't resist spoiling an adorable child, right? I have to tell you all, she causes NO TROUBLE whatsoever! She just sat in her stroller and was just talking to herself LOL! I even took them both to dinner and she was so well-behaved!!! I LOVE HER SOO MUCH!!

Isn't She Darling??

These are the products I used for my FOTD:

-UDPP
-MAC Smoke & Diamods Eyeshadow
-MAC Odd Couple Mineralized Eyeshadow
-NARS LuLu Single Shadow
-Benefit Miss Popularity Highlighter
-MAC Lashes in #7
-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliners in Black
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-NARS Blush in Luster
-MAC Lipstick in Pleasureseeker

I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT ;)

Lastly, a small Chanel Haul. I went to the Chanel Counter today and I initially wanted to pick up Fandango Joues Contraste Powder Blush, since I am totally obsessed!! It look very similar to a bronzer and I thought it would be a waste if I ended up purchasing that. So I decided to change my mind. I purchased the Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Dust and I thought it looked marvelous on my cheecks. It's pink with a tint of purple to it. I also purchased the Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in #76 Ming. This is a new product and doesn't come out until Friday. I absolutely love it!! It's lipstick but in a lipgloss form. I know, sounds weird, but if you're interested check it out on Friday. :)

Thank you all yet again for reading my blog! I still have yet to post my make-up collection/ my traincase so again, stay tuned for that!!! Everyone who is a late owl and loves to stay up......goodnight. xoxo

SMALL MAC HAUL

2009-02-26T02:09:00.002-05:00

After about two weeks of waiting I finally recieved my "SMALL MAC HAUL". On Monday of this week, I called MAC Customer Service and asked why my package was taking so long. They had told me that they were out of stock of MAC Fix + and they we're just waiting on shipment. I told them to just forget about the Fix + and to just send me my other items.

Opening my package!!

GOODIES!!

Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC30, Creme d'Nude Lipstick, #318 Lip Brush, #195 Concealer Brush, and #134 Face Brush

MAC totally made a mistake with my order!! I had initially ordered the Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC30 but they sent me the damn foundation instead! I sooo wanted to try out the foundation and concealer together. I'm going to call customer service tomorrow and probably BITCH! I have my Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC42 and I've been dying to try it with the concealer!

My foundation with no concealer :(

On the bright side, I LOVE the other products I got! Creme d'Nude equals LOVE! I love it!! One of my favourite nudes! My 318 lipbrush looks like its going to do the job!! I bought it mainly because I find it easier to apply red lipstick or any dark shade of that matter. It's easier to apply on the edges of your lips to avoid smudging. I have high hopes for my 195 Concealer Brush. It's synthetic so it's basically used for emollient based products. I'm going to use it mainly for my undereye bags. My 134 face brush has to be the highlight of my haul. The brush is soooo incredibly soft, it feels like heaven on you're skin! LOL! LOVES IT!!!! If you want any reviews on any of these products, just let me know! I will do a review on both the Studio Sculpt Foundation and Concealer. That will have to wait until I recieve my concealer.

On to other matters, UDPP has irritated my eye! I can't believe it! So now I think I'm going to have to exchange it tomorrow for Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Since I'm going to Sephora, I know I'm going to end up getting a couple things. Do any of you have any suggestions of GREAT products. I like trying new and different things so please let me know what you consider you're HOLY GRAIL products to be....xoxo

As Promised, STATES HAUL!!!

2009-02-24T01:34:00.005-05:00

Hello my lovely ladies! Sorry I'm posting this haul sooo late! I had a long and tiring day. Well for starters, I had to babysit my god-daughter. She was surprisingly good and she slept for most of the time. Luckily while she was fast asleep, Sher a.k.a lolitariot came over and helped me organize all my make-up! When I was in the States, I bought those 3 drawer organizers from Target, I'm pretty sure you all have seen them. They are GREAT for storing and organizing your make-up!! I didn't realize I had sooo much once it was all laid out! Sher told me it was like we we're taking out stock for Sephora! LOL! Anywho, thanks to her GREAT organizational skills she was able to organize and colour code everything! I'll try to show you all my make-up collection as well as my traincase within this week, so look out for that! Okay enough of my rambling! Here is what you have all been waiting for.......MY STATES HAUL :)

SEPHORA

KORRES

24-hour Moisturizing & Brightening Cream, Instant Brightening & Illuminating Mask and Brightening and Line-Smoothing Serum.

Milk Proteins 3 in 1 Cleansing Emulsion

CAUDALIE

Gentle Buffing Cream & Beauty Elixir

COSMEDICINE

Eye Specialist

I decided to change up my Skin Care Regime because Clinique 3 Step just isn't working for me anymore. I've been getting breakouts here and there. Hopefully this works out and I'll let you all know if I see any progess. Okay back to my haul.....

NARS

Eye Contour Brush #14, Hungry Heart Blush Duo, Hula Hula Shadow Duo, Eye Smudge Brush #15, Lipstick in Shrinigar and Lip Moisturizer in Sabrina.

I decided to pick up some of the new items from their Spring Collection. Sadly, I am not too thrilled with this collection. I find the colours to be too light and bland. But being the die hard NARS fan that I am, I just couldn't resist.

JUICY LOVES SEPHORA

Barrel Velour

LORD & TAYLOR

CHANEL & BOBBI BROWN

Jous Contraste in Rose Bronze & Creamy Concealer Kit & SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer

SALLY'S BEAUTY SUPPLY

CHINA GLAZE & CHI

RITE AID

PRETIKA

SonicDermabrasion Facial Care System

I picked this up because I saw a fellow blogger do a review on it. She generally gave it a good review and claimed it was a dupe of the Clarisonic. I got it on sale, it was originally $30 but was 50% off so I got it for $15! That was a STEAL!! I'll do a thorough review on it once I've used it!

FOREVER 21

I got a couple of sweaters too but I dont think pictures would do any justice of how nice they are. I also got a pair of MINNETONKA MOCCASINS, and a green DIESEL sweater for my boyfriend from URBAN OUTFITTERS. Coming back from the States, my mom and I stopped by Duty Free. I picked up the Christian Dior "Miss Dior Cherie" EDP, the Dior Brush Travel Set and a 3 pack set of Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect. If you want any pictures of these items please let me know :)

This concludes my States Haul. I think I got a decent amount of useful things, what do you think? If you ladies have any questions about any of the products, feel free to ask me! Yet another reminder, 4 days left until my CONTEST ends, so again please, if you haven't ENTER!! You have nothing to loose, but only to gain....:) Have a GREAT night xoxo

UPDATE + STOLEN TAG!!

2009-02-22T16:54:00.005-05:00

Hey my loves! I'm BACKKK!!! How is everyone doing? I actually got back on Friday but I was way to exhausted to do anything, so the boyfriend and I just stayed in. I had mentioned in my previous post that I would post my haul from the States on Saturday(which was yesterday) but I didn't get around to do so. That will have to wait until tomorrow because I'm at my boyfriend's house at the moment and my mom took everything home with her. Check back for that tomorrow, it's definitely a "MUST SEE".

I stole this off of Sher a.k.a lolitariot. This is my current beauty breakdown:

Hair

Shampoo: Dove Shine Therapy Shampoo. OMG this stuff smells amazing, and it contains a serum that leaves my hair soft, shiney and smooth!

Foundation brush: I usualy use make-up wedges(the best thing by far) but I have the 187 that I should put to use. I'm also interested in getting the 109, I heard it works best for foundation!

Concealer: MAC Studio Finish. I LOVE IT!!!! Covers my darn undereye bags! LOL!

Powder: MAC Studio Fix. It used to be Clinique Perfectly Real Compact which was my HG but they discontinued my shade!!! :(

HELLO KITTY COLLECTIVE HAUL + CREME TEAM & FOTD :)

2009-02-17T22:33:00.008-05:00

Hello my lovely's, are you getting sick of me already? LOL. Ever since I started blogging, I feel like I have alot to write about and alot of pictures to show you all. Whether it be FOTD's, collective haul's, random stuff, you name it! I'm glad you guys are actually interested in my blog, I really appreciate it!! :) I kind of feel sad though, I won't be blogging until Saturday! Tomorrow I leave for the States, but I guess it's a good thing considering I'll be able to show you all my goodies! Like I mentioned in my previous, previous post, I will be showing you all what I got from the MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTION as well as the MAC CREME TEAM COLLECTION! So here it is....

MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTIVE HAUL

I didn't get much, but I think it's just enough :)

Lucky Tom Quad, Two Dolly Quad & Hello Kitty Purse Mirror

Lipsticks in: Big Bow & Strayin, Lipglasses in: Fast Friends & Nice Kitty

Tinted Lip Conditioner in: Pink Fish, Blush in: Tippy

MAC CREME TEAM HAUL

Lipsticks in: Lavender Whip, Creme Cup & Snob(not included in collection)

Cremesheen Glasses in: Petitie Indulgance, Boy Bait & Ever So Rich

Overall, I think that the Hello Kitty Collection was, lets just say cute. I wasn't too excited about it just because many of the colours are dupable, however I did grow to love it. This collection did get me kind of hyped due to the fact that I went to the launch party and was able to get a couple of things before it was released nationwide. I know LAME! LOL! On to Creme Team, I am a lipstick fan and when I saw this collection at the HK launch party I knew I had to get my hands on a couple of things. I love, love, love the lipsticks, I can't even stress it enough! It glides on smoothly onto my lips and keeps my lips moisturized throughout the day without feeling dry. I bought the cremesheen glasses that matched the lipsticks and when applied, it looks GORGEOUS!!!!! I think you all should get you're hands on "LAVENDER WHIP", it looks purple but when applyed it's this pinky tone. That colour is a LE and is sold out everywhere!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COLLECTION!!

Now on to my FOTD. This look is really out of my comfort zone, but it turned out really well! I would definitely wear this look a night out clubbing! If you're interested, these are the products I used to create this look:

-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliner in Black
-UDPP
-NARS Duo in Carvaggio
-NARS Duo in Misfit
-Benefit Miss Popularity Highlighter for Tear Duct
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-MAC #7 Lashes
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-NARS Blush in Gilda
-NARS Lipstick in Roman Holiday
-NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm

JUST A REMINDER!!!!

MY NIGHTLY BLABBERINGS & MAKE-UP FOR SALE!!

2009-02-16T00:23:00.006-05:00

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and if you ask me, I think it's a bit too over-rated. I am not a hopeless-romantic, and just even the thought of romance makes me want to hurl! LOL Well the boyfriend and I didn't do much, we just laid in bed all day, ordered take-out and watched TV. Very comforting if you ask me. I guess you can say Valentine's Day for me is bitter-sweet. Sorry I haven't been posting LOTD's, my make-up is at home and I'm usually at my boyfriend's place on weekends. I'll definitely be posting one on Tuesday and I'll be sharing my MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTIVE HAUL! Tomorrow is actually a holiday for everyone living in Canada called Family Day. I think it's a neat idea considering there is no work or school, soo yay for that! Also, this week on Wednesday I'm going to the States! I cannot wait for that! I'm not going anywhere spectacular, I'm going to Buffalo, NY, that's just across the boarder from Niagara Falls. I have a feeling I will be coming back with a shitload of hauls to show you all! Lately, I haven't been clothes shopping so that is a definite must!! Any suggestions on clothing stores? I am open to hearing them!

MY DAILY THOUGHT....
I think a SMILE says alot about a person....

SMILE, embrace yourself and how beautiful you are inside and out.

SALE, SALE, SALE
I currently have alot of make-up and I have a tendancy to always use the same products and never seem to pick up these. Hopefully the make-up posted will go to better homes and will actually be used :) If you are interested in anything feel free to e-mail me at MIZZ.KRIZZ@GMAIL.COM

The follwing palettes were bought when I attended college. They were mandatory to buy but I just didn't use them much since I had already purchased my MAC Palettes. These palettes are highly pigmented and comparable to MAC. They are in GREAT condition and to be honest, was hardly used.

WHO STAYS AT THE MALL FOR 8 HOURS???

2009-02-12T23:50:00.005-05:00

WOW! I was at the mall today for about 8 hours! That's how long a normal working shift is! LOL! I know, I'm insane! I went with Sher at about 1:30ish because I wanted her to accompany me to do my make-up shopping! I already knew what I wanted, but I ended up getting more than I bargined for! First, we went into this store called Holt Renfrew, it's and upscale department store that is owned by either Neiman or Saks. I wanted to check out the YSL counter because I was hoping they got the Rouge Volupte Lipstick in #8 Fetish Pink! Sadly they didn't have any in stock yet, so that just saved me about 40 bucks! Next, we made our way to MAC where I picked up the Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation in NC43. Since I am not a foundation user, the MUA told me it was more of a light formulation but it still covered well. That was totally an impluse buy! I ordered the Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC30 online last week. When that arrives, I guess I can talk about my first impressions and if I liked them or not, so stay tuned for that. I also wanted to get the Angel lipstick, I tried it on as well as Snob but I completely fell in love with Snob! It's such a nice shade of pink and I kind of described it as a "porn star pink"! LOL! I grabbed those two items before I was tempted to buy anything else. I wanted to go to this department store called "The Bay" which carried MAC. I remembered I had a coupon for $10 off anything in the store as well as a 10% off voucher. I immediately picked up some more HELLO KITTY items. I picked up the Lucky Tom Palette as well as the Pink Fish Tinted Lip Conditioner! So instead of paying $73.39 taxes included, I paid $55.15!!! WHAT A SCORE!!! After that, Sher left me =( and met up with her hubby. I made my way to GUESS. I had those two GUESS shirts that I got for Christmas which weren't really my style that I wanted to exchange. I browsed around the store and I found this!

Pacific Pant $89CAN
I tried these on and loved how they made my butt look! Since my exchange equaled $80, all I had to pay was the difference which was about $12 taxes included! I roamed around the mall some more but I was getting pretty tired so I went to Chapters (its a book store LOL). I immediately picked up a copy of Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer, to add to my "Twilight" Collection. Afterwards I made my way over to the Beauty Section, I picked up a copy of Bobbi Brown's new book "Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro" and I also grabbed "Cosmos Sexiest Beauty Secrets: The Ultimate Guide to Looking Gorgeous". I think as a MUA it is important to have these books for future reference!

So afterwards, my boyfriend arrived and was starving so we both ate dinner. I had chicken tareyaki with veggies on rice and he had tofu with veggies on rice with a side of miso soup. After that we were still hungry so we opted for Sushi! I got a crab roll and he got a tempura roll as well as salmon sashimi. We were stuffed!! So we walked around the mall and he noticed there was Hello Kitty Posters all over the MAC store. I asked him if he wanted to see, he declined but I insisted! I managed to lure him into buying me the Hello Kitty Tippy blush!! Soon after, we went to H&M because they were having this 20% off sale. He liked a shirt so I ended up buying it for him! We decided to call it a night! FINALLY! Right now my boyfriend is at my house sound asleep and I am trying to write this blog out as quietly as I can. Sorry I didn't post a FOTD, I had my everyday look on nothing spectacular! I am very upset with myself, my new years resolution is to loose weight! I havent been to the gym yet nor have I been eating healthy! This is me before, about one and a half years ago and after (now):

Please be honest and tell me which looks better! I won't get offended.
In my upcoming posts I will include my MAC HELLO KITTY COLLECTIVE HAUL, MAC CREME TEAM HAUL as well as my MAC Well-Defined Haul (as soon as I recieve my studio sculpt concealer)! So keep checking back for that! Well my sexies, I hope you enjoyed this blog....and as long as you keep reading and commenting, I will be blogging ;) xoxo

If anyone is curious about how SNOB looks like, let me know and I will definitely take a pic!

SEXY-SULTRY VALENTINE'S DAY LOOK // Sephora Haul & more....

2009-02-11T23:31:00.006-05:00

Today I had fun with my friend Sher a.k.a lolitariot (check her out on blogspot) playing with my make-up! We swatched, took pictures and even cooked, well sort of. She was kind of pressed for time soo we weren't even able to go through my NARS Collection. She's coming back next week (YAY) and surely, my NARS Collection will take up another sitting! Tommorrow, her and I will be going to the mall mainly MAC because I want to get more items from the HELLO KITTY COLLECTION. I want the Tippy Blush, Lucky Tom Palette and possibly both of the Tinted Lip Conditioners in Popster and Pink Fish. I also want to pick up an Angel Lipstick and try out the new Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation.

After she left, I decided to create a Valentine's Day Look, my version of it! I love sexy sultry smokey eyes! Anyways, here are the products I used to create this look:

-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliner in Black
-UDPP
-MAC Expensive Pink
-NARS Single Shadow in Night Clubbing
-MAC Mineralized Shadow in Polar Opposite
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-MAC #7 Lashes
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-MAC Bronzing Powder in Refined Golden for Contouring
-NARS Blush in Angelika
-MAC Dame Edna Lipstick in Gladiola

What do you ladies think? Is it HOT or is it HOT???? LOL!

Last week I whored out, I mean hauled out lol at Sephora with Sher. She had many great suggestions, I needed a new face powder because my shade of Clinique's Perfectly Real Compact was being discontinued (BOO!!). I am currectly using MAC's Studio Fix in NC43, I've had no problems with it soo far. However, I am still venturing out to find that perfect face powder, since I do not use foundation. Anywho, she suggested we go check out Shiseido because it focuses mostly on the yellowy Asian skin tone. I decided to try out this Perfect Smoothing Compact Foundation in O40 Natural Fair Ochre. I haven't used it yet but it claims to be, "A long lasting powdery-type foundation that melts smoothly into skin with a highly refined finish". Sher also suggested I get that infamous Shiseido Mascara Base. Next we made our way to ANASTASIA, where I picked up The Essential Brow Kit in Medium Ash. Afterwards, I was highly interested in the Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder & Brush Set, so I picked up one of those. I may do a review on both the Shiseido and the Smashbox, so stay tuned for that. I was pretty curious about Urban Decay since I had only tried the Primer Potion, so we checked it out. I found this uber cute lipstick that had amazing packaging, I picked up this pink colour in LOVECHILD. Last but not least, I picked up the Shu Uemura 24K Gold Limited Edition Lash Curler, I just had to get it because of all the GREAT reviews it was getting. Sooo that basically concludes my Sephora Haul. If you guys want more info on any of the products, feel free to ask!

My Best Friend, Mae, finally gave me my Christmas Present after how long and look at what she got me!!!! *DIESSSSS* I LOVE IT!!!!

COACH PENELOPE SPECTATOR CAPACITY WRISTLET!!

I plan on seeing CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC this Friday because I feel like its the story of my life. I bought the book on Monday along with He's Just Not That Into You but I haven't read any one of them yet. I do want to read both books before I watch both movies because I feel as though, books do more justice than movies.

Knowing me, I might just cave in and watch both! Well I hope you all enjoyed my post! Please comment, comment, comment.......and "follow me"! LOL! Until next time my lovelys. xoxo ♥

LOTD & Other Things....

2009-02-10T23:34:00.007-05:00

I'm quite happy with myself, I've managed to blog 3 days in a row (yay me)! To those of you that actually read this, not only will it be a "beauty blog" but I will also share apart of my life with you all. I think having a blog is a great escape. I didn't do much today, well I should take that back, I actually did! I took my dog Prince on an excursion LOL! First, I brought him to Petsmart to get his nails trimmed. For some reason, whenever I go into a Pet Shop the first thing I look at is clothes. I ended up buying Prince a shirt that says, "I got my good looks from my dad..." LOL and a bag of his fave treats! After that, I brought Prince to another Pet Shop, this pet shop was kind of let just say "ghetto"! It smelt very very rancid and looked pretty run down. I found this cute Pomeranian calender which was 75% off, soo it turned out to be $3, you can't go wrong with that! And finally, the last place I brought Prince was to my fave mall, Yorkdale! I brought him into the store called PJ's Pet Centre. That was the store I fell completely in love with him and had to buy him! And to my disappointment, the store was going to shut down because their lease was expiring next month! But on the plus side, everything was on sale, even the animals! So I ended up picking up 3 bags of his fave bones. By the time I brought him home, he was extremely exhausted! First pic is of Prince with my thong, don't ask me how he got ahold of it, because till this day I don't know, and FYI it was clean! LOL Second Pic I assume he's smiling!

LOTD, Products I used were:

-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliner in Black
-NARS Single Shadow in Night Breed
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-Benefit Miss Popularity Highlighter for Tear Duct
-MAC #7 Lashes
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-MAC Bronzing Powder in Refined Golden
-MAC MSF in Gold Deposit
-MUFE Compact Shine On in Amber
-MAC Ruby Woo
-MAC Russian Red Lipglass

I forgot to mention that today I finally purchased what I've been lemming for, for weeks! Just the thought of dropping $50 on a blush was pretty insane but I caved in and got it anyway!

CHANEL JOUES CONTRASTE POWDER BLUSH in REFLEX

I love it! I'm hoping to get more when I go to the U.S next week. If any Americans are reading my blog, what are the "go to" places? Whether it be clothes, makeup, shoes? I need some feedback because I'm planning on doing some damage with a mild shopping spree =P Please, please continue to comment!! I want to continue to write if people are actually reading my blog! xoxo

NARS Rapture Palette

NARS Bridal Palette

Next this is my FOTD, I went out today and I just wore eyeliner, mascara, concealer, face powder and bronzer. I decided to kick it up a notch, just for fun and this is what I came up with.

First I'm going to start with the products I used to create this look:

-UDPP in Sin
-MAC Henna Eyeshadow
-MAC Deep Shade Eyeshadow
-NARS Night Breed
-Benefit Miss Popularity Highlighter
-MAC Lashes in #7
-Loreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black
-Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
-Annabelle Smoothliners in Black
-Bonnebell Brow Pencil in Cocoa
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW30
-MAC Studio Fix in NC43
-MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden
-NARS Blush in Torrid
-MAC Creensheen Lipstick in Creme Cup
-MAC Creamsheen Glass in Boy Bait

I also went to this asian mall called "Pacific Mall" and I was eager to look for a lash guard as well as falsies. It took me quite awhile to find them since alot of people working in the mall didn't know how to speak english so an hour and a half later, I found what I was looking for!!

I am satisfied with my purchase, although I think the lash guard looks abit cheap (well it was only $4), but I'm still in search of a cuter looking and more sturdy one :) I hope you all enjoyed my really long post! Please comment! I love reading comments!! xoxo

Random Ramblings....

Okay since I'm somewhat getting the hang of this blog, here is my upcoming list of hauls I'm going to be sharing with all of you:

NARS Haul

Hello Kitty Haul (I went to the pre-launch party)

Sephora Haul

I am also going to be giving you all a peak of my traincase :)

Moving on....the boyfriend and I just celebrated our 2 and a half years of being together (February 1st). It feels like we've been together for waaay longer than that! He also just celebrated his 25th Birthday on the 5th of February. Also, next week is Valentine's Day? Wow, soo many celebrations, you know what that means....more swipes on the credit card. LOL! Well since I'm on the topic of my boytoy, I might as well tell you a bit about him. His name is Mark and when I first met him, I was completely attracted to him. Well long story short, we dated for about 3 months before we made it official on September 1st, 2006. It was kind of weird since I was the one who asked him out. He seems like he is more of the "female" in this relationship and I am the "male". LOL...I think of it as a good thing, seeing that I am the more dominant one ;) I feel like he truly is the one for me, and he says the same. I love him oh so dearly<3 Here are two pix of him:

On to another important part of me. My dog Princeton makes me sooo happy! I got him in May 2007 and I love him to death! He's a white pure breed Pomeranian, but people have mistaken him for a Toy American Eskimo. I think he's the cutest thing when he's not all vicious. He is very greedy and does not like it when people touch his toys. He will immediately grab it from you and run away. Other than that, he's soo loving and very loyal to myself and my parents. My mom even treats him like a baby, thats why he's soo spoiled! For Christmas I caved in and bought him a Christian Audigier shirt! He loves getting dressed sooo everyday my mom changes his shirt. I love cuddleing with him during the night time because his body is soo warm and cuddley :) First pic is of Princeton when he was a baby and second pic is of him now:

Well that's it for now, by the way I would like to meet new people on here so if you're reading....leave a comment :) xoxo

16 Random Things About Me....

2009-02-08T01:19:00.002-05:00

1. Whenever I pass by a mirror, I HAVE to look at myself. I don’t do it purposely, I promise ;)

2. I can never leave my house without having MAKE-UP on! It’s not that I have extreme flaws or anything (I have perfectly normal clear skin), I just want to ENHANCE my features.

3. I do not sleep with socks on. I find it very uncomfortable. It also makes me feel very hot, which causes me to sweat!

4. I love sleeping with my dog, Prince. I actually find it very comforting and his body keeps me warm during those cold nights.

5. I always, always, always, have BLISTEX in my purse. I hate dry lips and I’ve been using this for about 10 years now! I have to say it keeps my lips moisturized and soft!

6. I LOVE food! If I become cranky or moody thats means I have to eat! I love everything from Italian to Greek to Japanese, Thai, Chinese, just to name a few.

7. I am a certified Make-Up Artist. I am also a Make-Up junkie. I love logging onto YouTube to check out other beauty guru's out there!

8. Whenever I’m sick, I always have to take medicine. I don’t believe in “your body heals on its on”, because if it were in my case, my body would take years to heal =S

9. I need to get my 8 hours of sleep or else I’ll claim to be very tired. My friends call me a princess because of this. LOL

10. My parents do buy me anything I want, I’m an only child thats why! If they say NO, I constantly bug them until they get annoyed and say YES. =)

11. I love R&B music. Thats the only music I listen to!

12. I hate working and taking orders from others! I want to be my own boss so I don’t have to listen to anyone!

13. I love perfection when it comes to the application of Make-Up. I can notice when someone has done a bad make-up job. I’m very analytical.

14. I can’t stand when people rush me especially when I’m shopping. I am very indecisive so I like to take my time. I’d rather shop on my own.

15. I’ve already been through the worst that life has to offer. Life has alot of twists and turns but I’ve managed to get through it. Thanks to family and friends!

16. My mom is the most suporting, loving individual you’ll ever meet! She has done everything in her power to make me happy and that is why I love her sooo much!

New to the blogging scene.

2008-11-24T03:39:00.002-05:00

I'm new to this whole blogging scene but I've been into makeup for as long as I can remember. I'm currently a Freelance Makeup Artist seeking to become someone BIG. I'm also enrolled in school in an Advanced Makeup Program learning the different fundamentals of Makeup. Right now, my love is truly in HIGH FASHION. I love playing with colour and transforming a model into something different. I've worked with various photographers, models and stylists. And Makeup Art is just as important because it adds that extra touch of beauty! Eventually, I want to work for celebrities and also be key makeup artist for movies, productions, fashion shows, etc.

Oh yeah, by the way my name is KristaCherie....

NICE TO MEET YOU! =)
