busy fun!

WOW, its been awhile since I've blogged. Been really busy at work so i cant blog during that time and when i get home from work, i am kinda beat! lol
I was talking to my friend the other day and I told him i wasn't getting anything else in the mail anymore =( lol cuz i didn't have any incoming hauls anymore. i felt kinda sad..i know i should because its a good thing that i wasn't spending money, but i hauled again...lol
I got
HK Brush set
HK Quad in Lucky Tom
HK BP in Tahitian Sand
Studio Sculpt concealer in NC20 from the Well Defined Collection
Vanilla Pigment
Eyeshadow in Star by Night & Humid

Saw this from youtube, from Enkore, so i decided to get the Face brushes set from sigmamakeup.com

and lastly got a contour palette from ebay.
My boyfriend is not of much help showing me sales online! lol it seems like he encourages it, but a good deal is a GOOD DEAL! well he encourages good deals, not the other misc. crap that i get! lol i got this from hot topic along with a $10 off coupon code, so what can i say? It really is a good deal. It is now $34.99, and isn't it just soo cute!!!

So yesterday me and the boyfriend made some nachos, i mean it just aint no cheese and chips kinda thing either...it was a BEAST!! i will let the picture tell you.

this thing is jam packed full of..
Salsa - we made from tomatoes, onions, and cilantro
Avocado - mashed up green looking ball things
Sour Cream
Taco meat - ground up beef with taco seasoning
BACON!!!
Mozarella Cheese
Chopped up Jalapenos

It was delicious i tell you!

L'EGERE BB Cream, MAC Emote, 24hr

I guess I kind of jumped on the BB Cream Bandwagon, and got the LEGERE White Multi BB Cream Foundation. I have been using it for about 3-4 days now, and I am totally in love with it! It comes out dark, but blends into my nc25-30 skin very nicely. I told my mom about it, and she decided to take a sample of my tube. She is very against of my usage of make-up, lol, only cuz im binge-ing and have packages come to the house all the damn time! but i told her about how its anti-aging, has spf and whitens the skin, and of course, i think any asian lady loves to hear those 3 words together in one product! It has not broken me out and no new pimples/acne has form, so thats a definite ++++!! Since I am at work or out for like 12+ hrs, it doesn't seem to last all day for me, and i do get a bit oily at the end of the day. mostly on my forehead though, which is the case with any product i use. damn forehead!

Kimberly Tia's Review

On another note, I was able to swap on MUA for a brand new MAC Emote blush, which I am also totally loving!! I technically paid more for it then what its worth, but I am glad to have it. I bought it awhile ago at the CCO in vacaville, but for some damn reason I wanted to swap it for MAC Mineralize satifinish, which wasnt even all that!! I was sad =/ like that. Anywho, this recession has got my all freaked out! I need to limit my spending. Its funny because I would try to purchase things online, fill up the cart, and then fill in all my information. then i would close the website! no more clicking that send order/ submit order button!! its the devil!!

I did however purchase a 2 year gym memebership to 24 hr fitness for $299.99 from Costco, its a deal! Thats like $12.50 a month, you just gotta front the money...sigh...I am making that $299.99 worth my while. I like the gym mostly for swimming and steam room. But ms. nana here is going to be getting into tip top shape!

MAC Liquidlast Liner

So after using MAC lilquidlast liner in point black a couple of times, here is what I think of it

Product: MAC lilquidlast liner - Point Black

Cost: $16.50

Picture:

What I do like:

- i love the finish

- lasts a very long time!

- doesn't smear as long as you let it dry all the way

What I don't like:

- takes long time to dry

- the brush is too long and lines my lashes as well! (So my outer cornerlashes are naturally curled, so when I use this and try to line the outercorner, the tip of the brush is on my lid but it also its swipes across my lashes, i have a very hard time at applying it because the brush is long)

- takes longer to apply then gel liners

- tough to take off

I guess I can use this for situations where I need it to stay all day and not smear, like a going to a water park or something.

I'll give it a 2.5/5

Best-O-Burger

I am just posting random places because my co-worker suggested it and I want to remember to try it out. so Best-o-burger cheap but good sliders with fries and curly fries!! sounds kinda good. i brought my lunch today so maybe I will try it 2m or when i forget lunch.

I am trying to be good with my eating habits and only be bad once or twice a week. yesterday I had a salad for lunch and some green beans and snap peas as a "snack" lol. salad again today, but this time, with some tri tip, i do love me some beef!! and i am trying to cut down on my starbucks addiction..lol

oh how i love thee! Caramel Macchiato!!

New Hobby?

If you don't know, I LOOOVE TO EAT!!! and i think that should be my newfound glory. I am sure I will have to work out 2xs as much as I am now, which is 0, lol but my god, i've been drooling all day looking at food places. SF is having this Dine About Town thing that ends at the end of January, where "3-course lunch for $21.95 or dinner for $34.95" are available at super fancy resturants! I haven't got a chance to go yet, but I think I will be spending my final days in some of those resturants! or at least I want to. Mostly for dinner, since I have work until 5:30pm

I also want to go to "The Stinking Rose" i do love me some garlic!! haha. will add to list when i find more gooodies!! haha

Happy Lunar New Years!

Hey, just wanted to stop by and wish every one a Happy Lunar New years!! I wish I could have taken the day off, but I guess work isn't too bad! I had tons of fun at home yesterday though. We cooked, we ate and gambled! lost all my damnn quarters tooo!! I found this picture online, its a verry common game in vietnamese culture! So there is 3 dice, each with the picture of a rooster, bau, deer, fish, crap, and shrimp. so you would place ur bet on one of the picture and the dealer will shake the dice on a plate under a bowl, and once everyone's bet is down the dealer will lift the bowl and reveal the 3 dice. if the picture of your bet shows up, you will win either your original bet if 1 of the dice is the same pic, you win twice if 2 of the dice are the same and 3 times if all 3 dice are the same. fun! haha

okay have a safe and prosperous new years everyone =)
