Jesse's Girls Bejewled Palettes



-I wanted these palettes for YEARS but waited on it and glad I did cuz they are about to be discounted so I got all four palettes for $10.50!!! They retail at $4.99 each or you can buy the whole set for $17 but now it's $10.50! They are sold exclusively only at Rite Aid but I was never able to find it at my local Rite Aids. I've only used the gray palette so far and it's super pigmented even without a base! I wish I bought these on Black Friday because there was a code for the free eyeshadow primer that retails at $5.99! That I have but it doesn't hurt to have one more. I bought two of these set so it was $21 total no shipping or tax and it came QUICK!! Like a day or maybe even two! I am thinking about getting more to give to people at presents for the holidays...

Btw it took me forever to find it on the site because it wasn't there, had to type to search for it in the search thingy.

My Essential Beauty Product: If only one item then foundation

My Hands: I am too lazy to use hand lotion although I do need to...it would be my Sense Intense Hand Therapy

Three Products to bring on a deserted island: Tinted moisturizer with SPF haha, Usana Chapstick, and deodorant probably...but since EmilyNoel83 said tweezer, I kinda agree with her!!! But mine MUST be from Tweezerman!


Women I admire for their beauty: BFF/Wifey Shirley Lam cuz she is naturally pretty inside and out! (so rare)

My Favorite Fashion Publication(s): I have hella magazines but never read lol. I have the newest 17 magazine right next to me. Gonna read it after this blogpost!

Who did you get this from?: EmilyNoel83 aka Beauty Broadcast! I have been watching her videos and reading her blogposts NONSTOP especially her reviews, love the 10 top item of drugstore brands.

WHY DIDN'T THIS SURVEY ASK ABOUT EYELINERS!!! OMG!!!

Favorite eyeliner: MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Engraved

AND LIPSTICK...AND LIPGLOSS...

Favorite Lipstick: I don't wear lipstick but the one I wore recently is MAC Florabundi which is hella old from 2005 but still good, it's a pink frost color similar to the color below, it's pretty much the perfect pop of pink with a gloss over it

Favorite Lipgloss: I love ALL MAC Dazzeglasses, the one in my bag is Get Rick Quick, not my favorite one, but it was the very first one I bought so I am trying to finish it up so I can Back2Mac it. Also since its a darker color, it makes my dry lips less noticable

OMG and bronzer:

Favorite bronzer: Still Glamorus in Ginger

(the picture from the right is from Leina's page but I found it through yahoo images)

OMG this blogpost took me FOREVER!! No time to read Seventeen magazine no more. I still wanna squeeze in time to watch 90210 and Gossip Girl though...

CVS Revlon NYC Haul


-Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef and Lilac Pastel (supposedly a Lavender Whip dupe in gloss form)
-$7.99 each but get $5 ECB this week only so its like getting the second one for $2.99
-For the past few months there hasn't been any BUY ONE GET ONE FREE at CVS for the longest time. They used to have it every week and now they only had buy one get one half off which ain't as good of course. I've been wanting this ever since Hollyannaeree raved about it. I thought Riteaid had Revlon 40% off this week but its only for eyemakeup. CVS didn't have buy one get one free, it was buy any 2 Revlon lips and get $5 EBC. I suppose that's as good as it would get since I don't see buy one get one free no more. Ehh I got it anyways because I really wanted it. I think they used to be limited edition but now it's permanent.

-NYC Lip Slider Hollyannaeree said was a Baby Bait lupe so I got Sugar Kiss but just found out the one she recommended it's actually Sugar Coated! It's okay it was only $3. =]

Walmart Maybelline Haul


-Eyeshadow palette $6 something, close to $7
-Foundation on sale for $6 something, close to $7 as well

CCO Haul


-MAC Blush in All's Good (from the All Race collection) $12.25
-MAC Pigment in Cocomotion (repromoted hella times) $13.75

I usually spend $100+ everytime I go to CCO but today I only bought two items. I wanted to buy a lot because I don't visit the outlet often but I tried REALLY hard to control myself which I did! I have a TON of eyeshadows, a lifetime if not, so I don't need any more. I also have a ton of lipglosses and lipsticks too. I am still in my blush phase so I decided to get a blush. They didn't have that many so I got the one above which I can use for contour/bronzer cuz its kinda brown. I already have a sample size of Cocomotion but I really like that color and wanted to own it in the full original size! I wanted to get ALL the pigments because it was the original packaging, but I had to control myself. Oh well...

Damn its soooo cheap at the outlet compared to retail price at the stores. I think from now all I will only buy MAC from the outlet...its wayyyy cheaper!!!!!!!!!!! But I risk it if I wait for the stuff I hella want cuz what if they don't have it??? Man...I want EVERYTHING from the new Disney villain collection that comes out in the Fall...man...*sigh* what to do what to do!

I've been really liking a lot of drugstore makeup. ITS SO CHEAP compared to MAC and Sephora and the quality seem to be pretty good too. I should do a new current favorites blog or something soon since its been a while. One with high end and one with low end huh? I love buying drugstore stuff when its on sale...it makes me SOOO happy!!!

First Time Back2Mac-ing + Forever21 Earrings


1.) Instant Gold Lustreglass
2.) MAC wipes
3.) Studio Fix Powder
4.) MSF Natural
5.) Brush cleanser
6.) Charcoal Brown eyeshadow case thingy
(Babysparks Dazzleglass is in the picture but I didn't Back2Mac that because I have more than enough for this time one)


$0.00
-I got an eyeshadow because to me that's way more worth it than a lipstick or lipglass even though it's around the same price but eyeshadows lasts longer. Lipsticks and lipglasses run out or expire quick. I got "Mulch" because Itsjudytime said it was one of her first MAC eyeshadows ever and sometimes uses in her video and that made me want it lol. Its been a lonnggg while and I finally got it yay!

Since I was at the mall...stopped by Forever21...

-$3.80 at Forever21

I was originally gonna get a shit load of hoops from Icing because there was a red tag sale but it was toooooo many to handle even though it would be worth it and dirt cheap. I just didn't feel like dealing with it cuz they were all dangling so I put it back. This is my first time buying earrings from Forever21. I don't ever buy them because of my sensitive skin but the lady said this pair should be okay but no guarantees. I figure ehh why not? So we'll see. $3.80 can't hurt me too much. Plus these are super cute! I wanted to buy clothes but there were TOO many people so I was like ehh forget it I'll just stick with online shopping instead.

Sugarpill Cosmetics


I saw a TON of reviews on Sugarpill Cosmetics and I wasn't impressed at first...until I saw Tina Marie's blog and the lovely looks she created!!! It got me solddddddddddd and I ordered it quick!!!! ^_^ I think the packaging is pretty but I haven't play with the colors much. I used the gold pigment Goldilux and it did crease on me but I don't know is it because of my cheap Jesse Girls eyeshadow base or that I applied way too much pigment. I think that might be it cuz when I opened it, the pigment spilled everywhere and I didn't want to waste it so I applied it all on my lid layer after layer haha. The black eyeshadow is called Bulletproof and it reminds me of the song by La Roux lol. I've only used it once so I can't really say anything yet. So far the packaging is beautiful...and the product itself...can't say much for now.

First Time Depotting


-Depotted my first MAC eyeshadow! Charcoal Brown was the third eyeshadow I ever bought from MAC in 2006. It was the 2nd MAC eyeshadow I ever hit pan on. Before I used it as eyeshadow and since January 2009 I've been using it for my brows. I initially bought it for my brows but never used it for brows cuz I failed at it haha. Back then didn't know how to draw them in and it would be hella bushy and thick and just eww. The bottom eyeshadow is Idol Eyes that my friend depotted and gave to me because she HATES that color, said it was chalky and unpigmented or some shit. I don't even depot my eyeshadows but I did this time because the plastic clear thingy cracked and broke off and it wouldn't stick back and its been like that for HELLA long and it got hella annoying everyday so I decided to just depot it and make my life easier. I guess I can Back2Mac it now but then some places don't take it if it doesn't have the pan so we'll see. I guess it depends where I go. The quad is from ELF and it was only $1 from Target. I watched a shit load of how to depot your MAC eyeshadows and many were HELLA complicated. All I did was use TWO tools. An old tweezer from ELF $1 that can't pluck hair for shit and also some scissors. No HEAT, NO WAX, NO FLAT IRON, NO ALCOHOL, NO NOTHING. Damn I should have taken pics! Oh well, next time I will.
