anonymous = always fails to read

Just wanted to clarify something.

Honestly. Every time I get an anonymous comment, it involves a sarcastic hater who's raggin on me about spending my money when the economy is plummeting or pointing out something that's like in-your-face-obvious that I clearly blogged about and they decide not to read it and make the same point again. I wish I could go back and take screen shots of them all but I'm currently suffering a migraine.. just finished another midterm today, crossed a few projects off my list this week already and now I'm bracing myself for drafting up my research paper.

Ok but back to anonymous.




NOOOOOO... REALLY??
HMM.. I believe in my very recent entries I put this....





I do not use these looks for school, nor do I wear that much makeup and even foundation at school, therefore when I have time at home, I slap on a face and do a FOTD, and with that, I usually put a break down of what I use and usually a warning if something is off, which I did. Whenever you see me use any other foundation other than my precious Dior 021, almost all the time it will not match me at all and those are the main reasons why I do not USE them at all. They take up space and I need to use them SOMEhow. All the recent FOTDs I've used involve the Mac Studio Sculpt that I once again, in the breakdown AND in that warning, said was lighter than my skin.

And I also do not see how I use TOO much foundation. It is neither cakey looking nor obvious, so please elaborate.

I might as well share with you all this piece of information anyway. I use one pump of dior, and if it's any other foundation, a squeeze of equivilant value, which if you had to measure by comparing to something, is half the size of a skittle. This goes on the back of my hand and I use my middle finger, dip it in that dot, then dot my face with my finger. Then I use two fingers, spread swirl and blend, and that's it. I generally use a thin layer of foundation as I can't stand having a lot of shit on my face, I'd feel too congested or oily.

Stop pointing out the obvious. Stop using "anonymous". It's very annoying.

That is all.

ps- big entry coming up with pictures from my mom's bday, my own family bday (lol took long enough), and any other stories I haven't told yet. I'm waiting for my hauls to come in so I can take a pic of those as well.

:) useless update

Another useless update, don't you just love how you think someone updates and you're like.. OH YESSSSS AN UPDATE!! *CLICK* ...

and you get a small paragraph. or two! Hey I'm making it two for you girls! :) Anyways.. UHHHH.. after my last post I decided hey why not and just bought more shazzlephazzle. I PROBABLY won't blog until I get some of the stuff in because you know, nothing exciting enough is happening around here that requires me to slap on my face unless I get bored again and play with more colors.

I'm very on the fence about that face wash I bought, remember my tiny intro about it? I want to do a review.. but it's weird. It's the only thing I've changed in my skin care regi and at it smells good and everything but then after the first day.. I broke out near my chin.. I thought oh maybe it's from something else so I kept using it.. and those bumps went away pretty fast and my skin looked great (as you can tell) for the next few days.. but then I started getting little bumps in random places two days ago.. so I'm trying to figure out if it's my face wash that's being a dick to me or maybe it's something else.. but I have a hunch it's my face wash. SOOOOO.. one of the new things I purchased online was... tadaaa.. a new face wash, plus a new moisturzer since it's almost time to buy a new one but I want to give a diff one a try. My Kate is great but I want something BETTER.

I'm keeping my purchases hush hush until then.

Oh. Now to add a funny/bf is gross story to this.....

I was laying on the couch watching a movie on my laptop and the bf came over, dropped his boxers, whipped IT out, took out a cigarette from his carton, put the cigarette next to his dick, came straight up to my face and said "Take your pick, the cigarette, or you can smoke the skin pipe...."

Everyone and their momma knows that I don't smoke. SO....

I gave him a nice open palmed slap to his exposed dick.

:) HEEEEEEEEEEHehe. Love you bubby!

Ok, until next time!

Katie

ps- OH! I overheard my bf talking on his cell with his friend today. My bf's friend David Smith was in Vegas a few weeks ago and while he was there, he saw my bubby's ex girlfriend at one of the hotels they were at.. at the buffet. He told my bubby "She's fucking ugly, I don't know why you ever got with her. Katie's way better, good job." BTW, they broke up because she cheated on him, twice. OH COME ON. Don't compare me with something like THAT. EW!

pps- awww.. bf is selling the rims I had gotten him for a diff set.. he claims it's like how girls buy different shoes when they get sick of their current ones. PSHHHHHH.

ppps- I heard on the radio that Ray J is actually dating Tila Tequila!!?!?!?!? Not Cocktail?!?!

pppps- I googled Daisy from Daisy of Love's last name.. and WOAH did not expect that!

ppppss- the bank my cousin works at got robbed.. while he was working. I'll talk about that next time in my next huge post! YEEEEEEE!! You know you're excited for it.. or not.. haha?

.............

-edit-
I forgot to mention... it's NYX's 10 year anniversary!!!! Go shop on their website, EVERYTHING is 50% off, hurry! I believe it ends on May 15th!!!! Of course.. you can always get yo stuff off ebay or Cherry Culture cheaper but still!!!! For the things you can't get off those, 50%!!!! I like that percentage.
-end edit-

AHHH!! Big post to come soon but I have to wait for my sister to email me the pictures from the weekend. Celebrated my mom's birthday, reunited with my US cousins (we rarely see each other), I'll reveal a picture of my brother's new lady friend, and I have lots of side stories that you all KNOWWWWW you love to read about. But you'll all have to wait!

.... why is it that everywhere I go.. there seems to be a fire that starts? Like some pyro is secretly following me. Anyway, more about that later (not sure when, sis is a lagger just like me)

ANYWAYS..

I told myself on Saturday that I was going on a no buy for a little bit to save up some money. Ever since I stopped working, obviously the main source of my spending money disappeared.

I was a good girl up until..... today. AHHHHHH I'm weak I tell you!!!!

LOL.. two days, not bad. ;D

At least I can cross some stuff off my lemming list on the side.

OH. So do any of you girls remember that big post I made about some designer handbags that I'd LOVE to have own, probably could but just don't want to put out that much money on something I KNOW I'll get dirty or tear up pretty easily?



This was my favorite remember? Guess where I came into contact with this thing?

THE QUEEN PURSE BEE'S CLOSEST. My mother. HAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. like mother like daughter I suppose, except she has the black leather version that I THINK they no longer sell? I'm not sure, too lazy to check the website but they didn't have it at the official store anywhere on display either in South Coast. Sharing is caring mommy! :) EHEHEHEHEHEHEH.

Ok, that's all you girls get from me for now! Toots yo fruits!

Katie

ps- I'm going to legalize my Chinese name sometime.... soon. Parents never officially registered me so HEY.. I just found out I can change my chinese name (one time only thing, obviously).. help me think of a good one! I hate mine anyways!

pps- ;( Why do people follow me and never comment? I'm not mean (at least not today), I don't bite (just for my boyfriend), I don't smell bad (when I remember to wear deodorant)!!!!

ppps- bf is talking to himself right now, it's slightly creepy

HAPPY BIRRR-DAY TO MY MAMA!

warning: ... another colossal post.. oi vey.. wasn't supposed to turn out like this. LOL!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY one-hour-before-my-momma's BDAY!


(I was bending my knees in this pic and she's wearing 3.5 inch wedges, momma ain't that tall yo!)

lol.... I could've waited an hour to put this up so then it's REALLY her birthday but no, I'd probably be too lazy to blog in an hour. :) I really can't tell you guys how old my mom is turning because I honestly do not know. Everytime I ask her, she changes her age.... as the years go by.. the number decreases... mother.. it does not work that way. LOL!!

Soooo.. mom always gets mad at me and my sis whenever we splurge and buy her something expensive for her birthday.. like.. REALLY mad.. and it's like, the things we CAN afford to get her, it's not to her liking because she has uhh.. really.... REALLY expensive tastes.. so things we get her usually go back to the store, usually one of her fav stores, and turns back into credit which she then uses to buy something quadruple the cost but to her liking, which is really our plan since it's better to just help her buy something she wants and at least try rather than flat out give her a gift card. So this year, me and my sister decided to NOT splurge since I don't work anymore and she... spends all she earns every week.. lol.. and decided to both chip in for a gift certificate so that my mom can get a manicure and a pedicure at Star Nails, which she looooooves going to like.. whenever she can. This way, we ARE trying, we did think about it, and she WILL end up using it! Bad thing is, Jessica is on a school field trip and won't be back until Sunday, mom's bday is on Saturday.. oh well, one day late then! However.. Jessica called me this week and we're planning to get our cousins together to throw a surprise birthday brunch for mom on Sunday.. it was originally NOT a surprise but mom got mad at my cousins for reasons.... I might go into next time when I feel like blogging more about the chaos that IS my family.. and she called off the brunch basically saying I don't want to celebrate my birthday with people who are selfish! But then Jessica is saying how my mom's been feeling like people don't care lately.. and this made me feel HORRIBLE.. since I only get to see my parents for a day and a half every week.. I usually spend my day back with my mom, doing errands with her, gossiping with her, grocery shopping with her, etc etc.. but I felt worse this week because Jessica wasn't going to be home to cover the whole children-celebrating-their-parents-birthday thing on Saturday since she's on her field trip and my dad is...... kind of insensitive to these things and never remembers ANYONE'S birthday and we usually force the memory into his head and sometimes go as far as to buy her a present FOR him, wrap it FOR him, and get him to sign it. Oh dad.. when will you learn. Anyways.. to cheer up a bummed out mother, I decided to surprise her withhhhhh...


A bouquet of flowers!! Fruit flowers!! Ordered it last night, had it arranged to be delivered to her work place!! I figured it's the best way to cheer up a work-a-holic mother! ...... but ..... GODDAMN IT MY PLANS WERE FOILED!!

Mom decided not to work the friday before her birthday.. so she never showed up to receive them!! NOOOOO!!! I even had a note that said..

"Dear Mommy,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I'm sending this to you one day early so I can REALLY surprise you! I love you!!!
Love,
Katie"

I called my mom's store in the afternoon and found out she was never there but my dad was and that he was going to bring it home to her at 5 PM. My mom's assistant, Augustina was the one who picked up the phone and she was raving about how beautiful the bouqet was and was amazed I thought of doing something like that ... lol? Since mom wasn't there to receive it, she never saw the van, so she doesn't know WHERE this came from and when I called her earlier, she sounded SOOOOOOO happy when she was talking about it!! She asked me where I got "such a thing" from and I said I wasn't telling her. LOL!! She asked me previously during our text messaging too.

me: I meant today! Surprise is coming today! I don't know when
mom: I got it right now, thanks very much. I love you. (she didn't physically have it, dad told her about it... doi...)
me: :) Are you surprised? Do you like it?
mom: I like that very much, where you got the gift from?
me: :) I'm not telling you! Secret!
mom: bad girl.

LMAO!!!!!!! I told you guys before I taught my mom how to text right? LOL!! Her texts are the funniest but also the sweetest things sometimes!! Anyway, money well spent I say!

ANYWHOOTERS, I was cruisin around my usual makeup forums as usual, getting my daily dose of other members' FOTDs (inspirations!) and reading up on new releases.. when I came across this particular FOTD!!!!



IS THIS NOT ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PURPLE BLENDS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN???? It's.. breathtaking.. I HAD TO COPY IT. Well.. tried.. and failed. You'll see. The base I used didn't bring out the vibrant purple, plus flash washes out my shadows but I can't just use regular room lighting.. it was late and my bedroom + bathroom lighting SUCKS! And unlike my makeup from yesterday.. I didn't blend as much this time. You can totally say I got L-A-Z-Y but nonetheless, I still like it. I'm gonna keep working on improving this in the future though. I have yet to discover my perfect purple combo. Once again, since it was just an experiment so I didn't wear this out and basically took it off after these pics.. I didn't use my usual foundation. My Dior is too precious to waste!! :) I always get compliments when I wear Dior.. I suppose since it's more natural looking compared to other brands like MAC.... which is too light in these pics but who cares. I'm taking it off soon. Here comes the cam whoring!

poorly angled, cut off my head. LOL. ...... hmm.. almost cross eyed.


my bangs were pinned up

Umm.. when I do these types of experimental looks, I usually try to use all the L.E. shit I accummulate over the years.. the Lorac gloss is something I bought, used 3 times.. and is now among the few million glosses I have stored in my closet. I decided to dust some stuff off today! YAY FOR ME! Umm.. as far as plumping goes, I do NOT need anything to make my lips bigger.. they're pretty thick and full if I say so myself. What I like about this one from Lorac is that it doesn't actually PLUMP.. it doesn't sting or feel tingly.. it just gives the appearance of fuller lips, I think partly due to the shimmer and the way it makes your lips look. I can see how it'd make your lips LOOK fuller.. but upon closer inspection, my lips have not changed in size at all. If you really want thicker lips, then I'd look elsewhere, this gloss won't do it!

Now.... other news..................



Yes that is my brother Danny and I. Why am I posting up a picture of my brother? Oh.. you know.. to say CONGRADU-FUCKING-LATIONS!!!!!! Ladies, I am going to be an auntie. EXCITING!!!! My brother is 10 years older than I, so he's 31 now. Although this is a happy thing, the story is.. slightly messed up. Haaaa.. Ok I'll tell you girls, it's not really a secret anyway, plus he's thrilled the baby's coming so I don't see why this story shouldn't be told.

Last week I found out someone was expecting a baby... from my mother. She basically said to me, "I'm going to be a grandmother!" .... I thought... wth? JESSICA?? She said NOOOO.. then I found out that Danny was expecting a baby. This was kind of a surprise because I thought he had broken up with his girlfriend of 3-4 years, Michelle, in February. Mother said that it wasn't Michelle. HUH? Apparently it was some girl he had met recently and had gotten her pregnant. Although we haven't heard much about this girl, we just know that Danny wants to keep the baby. I personally think it's because he knows he's not getting any younger and wants to raise a mini-danny. LOL! When I found out I asked my sister he she knew and she told me a little story about how my mom had told my dad that she was going to be a grandmother. My dad had freaked out and the first thing he said was "KATIE?????" .......... WHY IS MY NAME THE FIRST ONE OUT OF HIS MOUTH?!?!?!?!?! Mom said no, then his eyes got even bigger and he said "JESSICA???" Then she said no, Danny. Then my dad went back to eatting his fruit.

lol... that's so daddy. Anyways, I called Danny to say congradulations and kept gloating about how I was going to be an auntie!! He seemed REALLY happy to talk about it and told me that I would officially become an auntie this December.. meaning his new girl is 2 months along. When I hung up and called Jessica to make fun of the fact she's going to have to share her birthday month with the new baby.. we were like.. wait. 2 months along? We counted the actual days backwards.. and found out that around the time of Danny and Michelle's breakup.. that girl was already pregnant. Which meanssssssss.................

BAD DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL OK I don't know this for a fact but OHHHH FOR SHAMMMMEEEEE!! Ahh well.. I'm not surprised. Danny has never been one to settle down, but maybe he is now? Either way, I wish him the best of luck and I can't wait to play with my little nephew/niece!

:) Ok...... there Sarah, I remembered to blog about the baby!

Oh.. funny story today. I was leaving my comm 151 class today and this guy who sometimes sits next to me (cuz he's always late and I put my backpack on the chair next to me, hence free seat)..... who's name I do not remember since I'm pretty bad with names, caught up to me and asked if we had another midterm (just had one last monday from that class) next week. I thought about it and didn't know, he said in the syllabus it said we had another one in class 19... today was class 15....... OH FREAK, it's next next monday!! I have a midterm from my comm 129 class this coming Thurs.. ahh.. I guess it's better this way. Midterms spaced out as weeks compared to all in one week. I had one last week, this week, now this coming week and next next week. LOL.. yay.. woo...hoo.

BF just looked over at my entry and said "what? More pictures of yourself?"

;( what are you implying?!?!?!?!?!?!

Ok this is long enough.

Ok.. the update of the century

:) This is.. going to be one big ass entry. I don't think it, I KNOW it.

Don't let my poo snakes and scat pictures fool you, lots of things have been happening so I keep laggin on updating this blog! Just by seeing my views and stuff.. I can see I've lost OVER half of my frequent readers *sniffle* but that's ok. Less people to please!

Let's jump back to last week since you know.. that's about how long I've been lagging. HEEEEEhehe.

LAST (not this past) Saturday

Woke up late...er. BF wanted to go home early that day so since we had nothing planned, it was fine by me! We got to his house at likeee.. I want to say 1 PM.. I was pretty sleep because my shoulders were KILLING me for some reason that week.. so that kept me up most of the nights. I tried to nap in hubby's room but hubby kept buggin me and playing his music on his comp so loud that I couldn't nap. HMPH!! So since my car was covered in a nasty film of dirt and bird crap, I told him to wash it! In a speedo!

.... He didn't own a speedo.. and I won't accept tighty-whities as an alternative, so that promise has been postponed for now. I went outside to watch him and count how many minutes it would take for him to rip off his shirt because hubby has a tendency to like to be half naked sometimes out in public. Weird... yea.. anyways he was filling the bucket up with water and I wanted to hose my car down first! So.. I did. Then I tried to hose my hubby down but that didn't work. Hose only goes so far.. hubby can run *sad*. I was originally NOT going to help.. but he missed so many spots that I HAD to jump in there and do it myself!! MEN.. they never pay attention to details!! It's really weird.. maybe the heat from that day (HOT AS HELL) got to my head or something but I got REALLY into cleaning my car.. like not only did I wash it, dry it, vacuum the inside, polish the seats, dash, center console, trimmings, sides, etc etc.. but I actually took the time.. 1.5 hours, to hand WAX my hood, headlights, rear lights, all things chrome on my car, front bumper, rear bumper, trunk, pillars, and all my doors. Have you girls waxed your cars to perfection before? It's killer, but sooooo worth it in the end. I refused to let the MAN wax for me.. I mean.. look at HIS car.. as clean as it is, you can TELL he's a lazy ass waxer from all the swirlies you can see on his!! *tear* ... my car was so beautiful that day.. I was soooooo proud!! It took me.. 3.5 hours total!!! YEAAAA!! hahahah.. I was sweating.. a lot. Oh.. BTW.. the NEXT day.. bf was driving my car.. and drove near sprinklers.. which got the right side of my car by a little bit. All my work.. down the tubes. YOU DICK!!

So anyway, after washing my car, Pen and Alex invited us to go see the Fast and the Furious part 4 with them and Alfonso (mutual friend of both bf and his twin aka.. alex!) It was mostly to get Alfonso's mind off his relationship... problems/trauma/issues/etc. SADLY.. since it was a Saturday.. that means I have to go home to my parents' house.. which means.. I can't stay out that late. Yea I know.. it's sad. My mom's fine with me coming home late.. it's my tyrant-scary-mountain bear of a dad that is really anal about it. LOL, he still refuses to think I'm 21.

SOOO, we decided to go out to eat at a buffet in Chino Hills!! OMG.. the food there was BOMB!! Buffets are usually ehh ok to me, but this was one actually pretty good!! HEHEHE Pen had a little to drink before we got there and I joined in a little as well (had to drive home yo!) AHHHH.. lots of laughing.. lots of inside jokes. Day 24. Mountain dew. LOL!!!!!

Last (not past Sunday)

grocery shopped with mom, studied while she was at the hair salon, studied at home, went to pick up hubby, back to apartment!

This past Monday

First off.. Happy 4 20!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! No I didn't do anything, but I did take this cute picture though! First midterm of the quarter! UMM.. as much as I studied.. I know it wasn't enough. I had this professor for different class last quarter and his tests are a BITCH. He's one of those types who tests on the weirdest details and.... ugh!!!

This past Wednesday (recipe!)

So schooling as always. Christian wanted me to cook something but I didn't feel like making anything too hard or time consuming you know? SOOO.. I decided to make a steak recipe that my mom had taught me before but to change it up and make it more juicy, flavorful and filling. Her version was more light and stuff.. her "healthy" friend taught it to her but it's so easy that I actually remembered it.

Steak Strips and Veggies Recipe! Serves two

One Yellow Bell Pepper, One Red Bell Pepper, One Yellow Onion, Two Rib Eye steaks

Wash the vegetables thoroughly, then thinly slice the bell peppers and chop the onions in a chunky fashion, not too small but good bite sized pieces. Too small and they'll burn later.

Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper, toss on some tenderizer if you have it too.

I don't have it pictured but toss the steaks on the skillet first with some oil, browning both sides to a nice seared brown. This should only take maybe.. 6-7 minutes, they should still be red and bloody on the inside. Then toss them on the cutting board and slice them into decent sized strips. Keep them on the cutting board for now. Pour in some oil again and toss in the vegetables. You want to brown the onions but still have them kind of firm since you'll be cooking them with the steak some more later. Try to saute them enough so that the bell peppers soften as well. Aren't the colors just beautiful?

Toss in your steak strips now and maybe 4 dashes of Oyster Sauce.. uhh.. I guess that'd be like.. 3.5 Tablespoons the way I do it.. HAHAHA!! Don't forget to toss in a little salt and pepper for more flavor! Yumm Yumm YUmm!!! Cook to how you like your steaks!

Easy peasy no?!?! It's VERY filling too!

This past Thursday

The usual schooling.. but Christian got a call from his old friend Anson who was throwing a game night in honor of two birthdays, Chris (not christian) and himself plus HIS twin Jesse! Despite the fact I have school on Friday.. we decided to go! Why not you know? I haven't seen that crowd in a while! Met old friends, made some new ones, got home a little past 12 AM, nothing too exciting.

This past Saturday

WOOO.. fun day of the week! Christian has been moaning and groaning to go to this car meet during this entire week so I got up at 8:30 AM (usually sleep in on weekends) got ready, packed up, left the apartment at around 9:30 AM.. got to his house at 10:40 AM to pick up his car and wait for his older brother so that we could go to the meet together.... but then Russell (the older brother) didn't want to go till later, so Christian wanted to go later... WTF!!! I COULD'VE gotten more beauty sleep!!! GRRRRRRRR!! He was rushing me like crazy in the morning too!! Bitch! Anyways.. so I took a nap in his room until the time came for us to go.. which was like.. 1PM. We got there.. there was a lot of people.. nothing too impressive.. the import model Lisa Flemming was there signing stuff.. wow.. she's ridiculously short and petite! Anywhos.. I don't know what it is about car meets.. but my hair always gets nasty, oily, and matted down.. which again.. happened here. Which SUCKED because I was meeting up with the bloggers ladies later on in the day!! Oh well.. what can I do right?

Me walking at the meet.. bf was using my camera to take pics of his car.. guess he caught me in this one. I look like I'm floating!

I pimped MY RIDE!!!! hahahah jk.. jap import version of my car. I kept saying 5 Zigen with an accent for a good 2-3 minutes after this picture.

We ended up leaving at 2:30 PM because I had to go meet up with my ladies! BF was all bummed because we missed the first raffle at 2 PM.. and the next one was at 3 PM. He totally wanted something free. HAHAHAH! We ended up being 10 minutes late at our first meeting spot, Dot Com Beauty Supply Store, but that's ok.. I wasn't LAST!! HEHEHE! Angie and Kristine (Aquaracer) had already gotten there (supposed to meet at 3 PM)! We waited for Sarah to get there and then we left to our second spot, Ce Fiore in Rowland Heights! My fav is Ces Fiore in Montery Park but I'm pretty sure nobody wanted to drive that far. LOL!

My Eyes.. same as always, I'm so boring. LOL. I'm actually in a make up funk lately.

babe says I look cute here.

So we all went to Ce Fiore to get some yogurt!! YUMMY!! Me and Christian basically inhaled ours pretty fast.. and I stole some of Sarah's mocchi because she couldn't finish hers anyway!! :) Awww, Angie, Kristine, and Sarah all got me something!! I can't wait to post picture of them up later!! I'd spoil the surprise if I told you all what they got me individually!! You'll have to wait for the next entry but THANK YOU GIRLS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I feel so bad for not getting anyone anything!! :( You guys would've loved life sized cardboard cut-outs of me right?? HEHEHEHEH!!!!

So after we chilled there for a while, we went to shop at The Amore store in 99 Ranch Market. I wanted to get the spot treatment that Pink was raaaaaving about but they don't make it anymore!! OH NO!!!! I didn't want to splurge on anything there because I go there almost every weekend with my mom and have what I need already LOL!!!! Sarah picked up some falsies though, Angie got some skin products, and Kristine got some nail polish I believe! Then we went INSIDE 99 (I was back in there the next day lol) because Angie wanted to pick up some bamboo for her momma back home! LOL.. sooo funny.. we're at the register waiting for our turn and Angie comes up carring two bags filled with HUGE bamboos!! ahhahahah!!! And she THOUGHT she was going to fit them in her PURSE earlier!! :) You silly silly girl!!!

(sarah can you see your earrings in this pic??)

Earrings that Sarah made!!! She's SOOOOO TALENTED!!! Aren't they beautiful?? Just my style!! I love dangly earrings!! I love them so much, I'm going to actually take modeling pics with them and send them to you or just advertise your site on my page later on in the future when I'm not busy!! I requested Eggplant I believe, a mix of greys and light purples! GO ORDER FROM HER BITCHES!

So after the Amore Store, we went to Puente Hills Mall to shop at Ohayo but I think they closed down!! There's like.. nothing in that store anymore! But right next to it is a place called Cosmeland.. which looks IDENTICAL on the inside as Ohayo.. so I think they basically just downsized themselves due to our failing economy. Angie went crazy in there, Sarah ALMOST made it out with nothing but I trapped her and tempted her with this delicious smelling lotion, which she caved in and bought, plus some masks for her face! Kristine bought another GORGEOUS GORGEOUS nail polish.. I can't even describe the color! It was BEAUTIFUL!! I bought a new face wash to try out, pictured at the end. LOL! So.. this mall got really hot and un-ventilated.. so we decided after walking around a bit to leave, but not before passing by Beard Pa Pa and getting some cream puffs! Then it was off to Brea Mall to kill some time before dinner.

Once at Brea Mall, we basically stayed at Nordstroms. We hovered over the Dior counter first, where we chatted and swatched. I noticed my lipgloss was eaten away (a bad habit of mine), so I picked up a nice peach/coral colored sheer gloss, the tube squeeze it ones that I have like.. 5 of.. but this is the ONE color I hadn't gotten before, Mango Soda! I tried it on and it was BEAUTIFULLLLLL!! HEHEHEH being the crazy tempter that I am.. I wanted Sarah to SMELL IT. She can't resist things that smell good or yummy, so I KNEW she'd try it on. I WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY BABY!!! I knew it'd look good on her too because like me, she has very pigmented lips so since it looked good on me, it would most DEF look good on her pouty pout pout! ;D SCORE!!! She ended up loving and buying it. We checked out RR's new cosmetic line, their eyeshadows were VERY pigmented, at least the matte shades were! But.. we were really too tired to do anything else.. I guess you can say we were SHOPPED OUT.. pooped.. dead. LOL! So we decided to head over to our dinner spot, hoping the drive over and maybe the wait would make us hungry!

OK since I forgot my camera in the car.. I'm stealing pictures off of Sarah's blog to share with you guys. When Angie and Kristine post up theirs, you can bet yo sweet arses that I'm going to steal them from them too!!! EHEHEHEHE!!!

christian and I walking.. Sarah's stupid paparazzi shot!!!! My legs look so thick!! EWWW!!

So I don't look conceited with all pics of me in my blog, Sarah and Kristine!! OH HO HO! Kristine looks like the younger one!!!!

I had to put this in here, Angie looked TOO CUTE. Sarah blames me for the reaction.. and she might be right, but I don't remember.

Sarah dubbed this paler and pale. I call us, delicious and awesome ;D

ewww my bad side sarah!! lol at my baby hairs.

So I didn't believe that I was THAT pale when I saw the pictures.. I thought it was just the flash that was washing me out.. so.............. I did what any sane person would do, I took a picture of my arm to see what my skin color was. Ah...ha...ha... ha.. I guess I am that pale. I had a little bear, so you'll notice my face get lighter and lighter while my neck gets pinker. And I get happier. LOL.

My Spicy Jambalaya!!

Christian's Steak!

me and christian's mini chocolate Souffle!!

ENOUGH PAPARAZZI SHOTS SARAH!! Katie-secret-ninja-technique to avoid those shots.. *turn, blend in with surroundings*

HO HO HO!! BFF since HS, still going strong I say! Look Sarah! You're earrings! The light above me makes me look kinda.. sweet but evil at the same time. EHEHEHEHE! LOL I know Sarah, I can never take a normal picture with you, you bring out the devil in me ;) rawr! Face pale from alchy and neck is red!

me and angie!! and the bag I wanted!!!!!!!!! *steal* ... red neck.

OK since I talk about my bf and the car and crap a lot.. here's a pic of his car.... that he took with my camera... that I left in his car that night so he could upload pics from the meet on his computer.. but today when I got it back.. it had like... 40 + pictures of his goddamn car in it!!! YOU FRUIT CAKE CAMERA WHORE!!

My daddy's back from Taiwan like I said. He got me some perfume!! LOL!! He said he chose the scent out himself, just like the previous year he had gotten me the apple shaped perfume.. I Nina by Nina Ricci.. I don't use it very much.. it's just pretty to look at. It's too musky for my taste really. But THIS one.. omg....... it smells SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. Good job daddy!!!! You bought perfume from one of my fav brands! YAY!

Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet

It smells SOOOOOO DELICIOUS!! I looked it up online because it looks a little different from the ones I've seen at the Dior counter.. and it turns out it's an Asia exclusive version of the Miss Dior Cherie!! More subtle and light! Aww.. so if I run out, I'll just have to call my relatives!! EHEHEHE!! It has such a refreshing scent to it!!

Ok so for dinner tonight I made some Udon, another easy dish I frequently make because it's fast.

Fish cakes, Fish balls, Pork balls, I love my balls! LOL!! MM MMMM MMMMMM. Babe said it looks like something he'd see on a menu. HAHAHHAA awwww, how sweet!!

I'm going to cry later for posting this.. and I know anal people will maximize this picture to the fullest.. but here's me sans makeup. I took my second midterm today that I completely underestimated the difficulty of.. so now I'm tired.. without my face on. taaaadaaaa! ... oh man.. i wish i had at least penciled in my brows.. they look uneven... :(

OK that picture looks kinda awkward.. probably because I'm tilting my head. DON'T ACCIDENTLY USE YOUR MOTHER'S WHITENING FACE WASH IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOURS DURING THE WEEKENDS PEOPLE.. my face is now officially whiter than my neck... arghhh!

Paparazzi shot of my bf when he came back in from throwing the trash away! WHAT'S UP BABY? LOL!!

Someone tell me why he looks so feminine... just by walking.... ?

Ok so I was looking through my low end/drug store makeup stash today and was swatching some of the NYX shadows I had bought a while ago but never used.. (ha.. as with a lot of things).. and my NYX single in Aqua reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what, SOOO I popped open my high end makeup stash and looked through everything and FINALLY find it...

AMAZING DUPE NO????? One's just SLIGHLY lighter right?? With Flash

No Flash

NYX in Aqua versus Mac Tilt eyeshadow (right), no flash

with flash

Amazing isn't it? And in fact, I had to pack on Tilt to get that rich color that you see in the pan! I only swiped twice to reach that gorgeous blue from Aqua! Aqua is definitely more vibrant and while they aren't EXACT dupes, they are PRETTY DAMN CLOSE! Another one for you Sarah ehehehehe!

Ok my new face wash! I can't say much about it yet since I've only used it two times. It smells nice though, like a creamy-ish apple smell!

I hope it gets along with my face!! My face has been acting up due to my dumb trust in drug store foundation.. bad idea. I need to slap myself. I keep trying drug store foundations, keep getting reactions, keep trying again. When will I learn my lesson?!?!?!?!?! Yikes!! Anyway, hopefully this face wash will do SOMETHING for my face, unlike my old one which basically.. took off what little makeup my makeup remover missed (yup.. nothing else.. which is a safe bet I suppose?)

Much looooove!

Katie
