Collective Haul!

October 30th, 2008

These are stuff I have collected these past three weeks… not what I bought all at the same time. lol. First, I have received my order from CherryCulture.com. I bought two NYX Round l/s in “Rea” and “Lousiana,” as well as two lip pencils in “Plush Red” and “Pinky.” Then a few days later I stopped by MAC and I had to buy the Cremesheen l/s in “Crème d’Nude,” which is a nude color, something I don’t have, and I bought the “Cork” e/s because I needed a soft brown color to wear neutrally. It’s been getting cold lately so I don’t want to wear anything heavily. I also ordered the Kohl Power Eye Pencil in “Feline,” a limited edition, which is a very dark black eyeliner. It’s sold out in stores, but it’s still sold online, so I had to buy it. My cousin also gave me the e/s in “Mineral” (from the Emanuel Ungaro collection) and the “Bare Canvas” paint.

A few days ago my cousin and I went to the nearest outlet and we stopped by the CCO. I bought all MAC products, which were the Novel Twist: Cool Eyes palette, beauty powder blush in “Feeling,” l/s in “Fleshpot,” and l/g in “Underage.”

I am upset that they don’t sell the Heatherette and Fafi collections because I missed out on them. It was either sold out a few weeks ago or sold out at the actual stores. I really want to go to other outlets but it’s so far ):

Anyway I hope you d0rkstars enjoyed my haul! (:

“Biggest” Haul

October 3rd, 2008

Sorry it took long for me to post my recent haul. I’ve just been so busy. But I’m here now. This is kind of a big haul that I’ve collected for two weeks. This is kind of a big haul I ever had. I think? lol. But yeah I am very happy with my new products (: I made a mistake in the video (at the end) that the MAC “Cult of Cherry” l/g is actually “Cherry Blossom.” lol.

I really love the new texture of the new Cremesheen collection that came out at MAC last week. I only got one l/s from there. Bummer. I wanted the “Brave Red” l/s but the counter I went to said something happened. So I got the “Russian Red” l/s instead, which is in the Cult of Cherry collection, which is permanent. Oh well. I will get some of the Cremesheen l/s later since it is permanent I believe (:

I realized I made a mistake putting down “big” instead of “biggest.” My grammar is so bad ):

September 11th, 2008

Finally a tutorial! I used the MES duo from the Electro Flash collection. I love all the colors! I wish I can have them all but some of the colors are similar in the same collection and some of the colors are similar to what I have. But hope you enjoy! I love this look — great for the fall! (:

d0rksta’s Fave Makeup Products

August 8th, 2008

Here is a video on my fave makeup products from each category (i.e. eyeshadows, lipsticks, etc.). I forgot to mention in the video that my fave mascara would be Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara. It really does it job by holding the curls of my lashes, lengthens, and volumize!

FOTD: Olive Brown Eyes

July 4th, 2008

Today I wanted to try out the MAC e/s in “Sumptuous Olive.” Since there are green and brown undertones, I wore it with “Satin Taupe.” It turned out okay. I really want to get the MAC p/p in “Moss Scape” to make the e/s pop. I’ve tried it with the “Greenstroke” p/p, but the two paired together wasn’t all that great. I wore this look to a dinner with one of my best friends in high school. He was always there for me, helped me with school work, and so much more. We went to eat at Applebee’s, which was yummy, but didn’t have that much selection of food.

Tutorial: Summer Eyes #2 Using NYX Palette

June 6th, 2008

Another summer look! It’s better to use a peach-toned blush, so that it could match the colors of the eyeshadows. Oh yeah, it’s also better to use like a gold base so the peach and yellow shadows could be vibrant. I apologize when my head comes off the frame. Sometimes I forget I’m recording and I don’t pay attention. lol. The lipstick seems to not show up on my lips nor over the lip spackle. hm… should I exchange it for something else??

I seriously need to dye my hair. At least I know it’s growing :P Hope you enjoy!

Two Weeks Haul!

June 2nd, 2008

Hello d0rkstars :)

I apologize for the lack of updates! I went out of town AGAIN with my cousin. We decided at the last minute to go away for the weekend — just the two of us — to Virginia Beach. Okay, let me start of from the beginning. Before last week I went to MAC and bought a new 15-pan eyeshadow palette and an e/s in “Cranberry.” Then I drove to Northern Virginia to meet up with my cousin and her boyfriend. I went to get my teeth whiten by Dr. Vu Tran! For anyone that lives in the Northern Virginia area, call (703) 256-1160 to book an appointment at Lan P. Le DDS (6922 Little River Tpke Ste A, Annandale, VA 22003)!!

Anyway we went to the mall, and I bought an off-white top from Wet Seal. Props to Wet Seal for always having nice tops for only 10 bucks! Then I went to this store called Amusé, which sells NYX Cosmetics and I bought their triple shadows in “Shangri-La.” It has a light yellowy color, a shimmery orange, and a light peachy color which is great to wear for the summer! Expect a video from me soon! And of course, I HAD to stop by MAC. I didn’t really wanted to buy any eyeshadows so I bought their 239 eye shading brush, which I loooove.

A week later, my cousin and I went to the Williamsburg Prime Outlets. We went inside CCO (Cosmetics Company Outlet) and boy, was I happy! But then kind of sad because there wasn’t that much products of MAC. They had very little selections of eyeshadows and pigments. I was going to get a pigment, but they didn’t have the color that I wanted so boo hoo! I ended up buying the e/s in “Seedling,” powder blush in “Dollymix,” and the Sweetie Cakes quad. I’m not sure if they sell “Seedling” at the regular MAC stores, but on the website it says it’s available for a limited time. The Sweetie Cakes quad colors are sooo pretty! I’m not sure when and what collection it came out with. I also bought NYX’s lipgloss in “Beige” at this store called Fragrance Outlet & Cosmetic Co. I think that was the name. We walked around the outlet for a bit and it was so hot! They had Charlotte Russe and Papaya stores, but their prices didn’t change at all, so we didn’t buy any clothes.

When we arrived at Virginia Beach, we decided to watch the “Sex and the City” movie. I’ve never seen the tv episodes, but I really want to now because the movie was good! So this whole weekend we didn’t really do much, so it was pretty chill. We went to lay out on the beach the next day, but it was so windy that the sand kept getting onto our faces! I never realize it would be so hot laying under the sun while getting a tan. I really want to be darker since I am as white as a ghost!

The next day we went to the mall. First, we stopped by Charlotte Russe and I bought this cute green dress for 10 bucks! I really love this dress! I stopped by MAC and bought a lipstick in “Crème De La Femme” and e/s in “Silver Ring” except that it wasn’t. The lady gave me the wrong one so now I have to find a Macy’s and exchange it. We went into H&M and I bought this pink top with weird designs on it for only $5! Is that a great deal or what? We also went into Papaya and I got this cute long heart necklace (not shown).

This was a fun weekend with a lot of shopping. I might go on another trip soon, but I’ll try to make more videos of my new makeup products!! ♥
