I got the best Christmas present ever---A JOB! I just have to pass a drug test (WISH ME LUCK). I've been drinking cranberry juice and working out nonstop. Don't get me wrong, I don't do drugs. The last time I smoked was about two weeks ago and unfortunately that <i>could</i> stay in my body for 30 days. I read online that it usually stays for 10 days if you're an occasional smoker, which I am.<br /><br />My Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash eyeliners came in the mail! I was skeptical of their staying power because they glide on so creamy and effortlessly, but they hold up pretty well. I wore them to the gym and they didn't budge after my sweaty workout.<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2842.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2845.jpg"><br />Zero, Corrupt, Stash, Oil Slick, Rockstar, Ransom, Binge, Graffiti, Eldorado<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2846.jpg"><br />Zero, Corrupt, Stash, Oil Slick, Rockstar, Ransom<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2851.jpg"><br />Ransom, Binge, Graffiti, EldoradoLilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-91380126255779412122009-12-16T15:15:00.001-08:002009-12-16T15:25:39.334-08:00finals weekIt's finals week, but instead of studying like I should be doing, I painted my nails. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing.. Haha. I started off with hearts but decided that was too plain so I drew some black lines. Do you guys think this is appropriate for the hospital? I'm volunteering there tomorrow. I guess I'll have a small talk starter with the patients.<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2798.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2793.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2801.jpg" /><br /><br />All of my packages from Black Friday finally arrived. I went mad online shopping cuz I couldn't deal with humans in the mall. I got five packages total.. There's some things I have to return but for the most part I'm satisfied :)<br /><br />I just ordered the Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash since I had a $15 giftcard for being a beauty insider. I need new eyeliner anyway. I was debating between that or fluidline since I'm running out, but I really wanted all the different colors in the kit. I still think I'm gonna get fluidline when I run out though because pencil usually smudges on me by the end of the day, but fluidline stays put.<br /><br />I can't wait for my last final to be overrrrrrr and done with. Wish me luck :\Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-32062126931094683482009-12-11T09:46:00.000-08:002009-12-11T09:46:00.577-08:00Product Review: Essence of Beauty Bent & Straight Eyeliner Brushes<img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/photo-1-1.jpg" /><br /><br /><b>Product:</b> Essence of Beauty Bent & Straight Eyeliner Brushes<br /><b>Packaging: </b>3 out of 5<br /><b>Overall:</b> 1 out of 5<br /><b>Price:</b> I got these on ebay for $3.25 including shipping<br /><b>Would You Buy This Again?</b> No<br /><br /><b>PROS:</b> None at all.<br /><br /><b>CONS: </b>The brush head is way too flimsy and there aren't enough bristles to keep it dense.

I just got back from Philadelphia and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. The love of my life (who has no idea yet) is there haha. I've been posting more on my personal blog, but I had to take the link off due to a certain psycho somebody that I actually know in person. But for now, I'M BACK so are you ready for me, bitches??<br /><br />I went a little lash crazy & bought 40 pairs of lashes on ebay from <a href="http://myworld.ebay.com/etopauction" target="new">THIS</a> seller, although it doesn't seem like they sell lashes anymore. It cost about $8 including shipping, but some of the lashes arrived a little bent out of shape, but it's okay cuz each box has 10 pairs.<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/photo-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-73375347444860152972009-10-18T22:21:00.000-07:002009-10-18T22:23:27.169-07:00Find me on twitter, babes: lilylovesmacLilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-88413643079867058432009-08-22T10:30:00.000-07:002009-09-29T13:21:12.950-07:00oh, hai.I will update this when I get back into makeup. I haven't really been inspired lately, but I miss blogging about beauty related things.<br /><br />School just started and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed since I'm still working my summer hours at my job minus the time I'm at school. I don't have much time to do homework or study, but my job is ending soon. Hopefully I can find another one because I don't know if I will qualify for unemployment. I mean, I will because I'm kind of being laid off, but since the economy is in the shits, I don't know if they will give it to me since I'm not in dire need of it. Not as bad as others might who actually have big bills to pay at least.Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-20861586678908528302009-07-09T21:16:00.000-07:002009-07-09T21:22:07.102-07:00Nails!My attempt to do my own nails since I don't have time to get my nails done, lol. I just hope they don't chip anytime soon (like <span style="font-weight: bold;">tomorrow</span>). I used China Glaze Heaven all over my nails and I painted the designs with the thin brushed polishes.<br /><br />Sorry I've been MIA. I made a personal blog that I've been posting in more often lately. I had a great 4th of July. Spent it with my family. It was also my cousin's birthday.

It was GREAT! Bonded with the interns, some old and some new. We went hiking, played a lot of games, and got to check out an observatory. I learned how to focus a telescope and we got to see Saturn, Leo the lion, the big dipper, Vega, & some binary stars. It was absolutely beautiful up there. The sky was so clear and I even saw a shooting star! We also went up to a ropes course. I climbed up a tree and walked off a platform on the zipline!!! It was amazing. It felt like I was free falling, lol.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs097.snc1/5175_108590038264_586873264_1896816_2324932_n.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs097.snc1/5175_108590038264_586873264_1896816_2324932_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here's a photo of part of the little house we stayed in.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvQlD2ndUE_HOh2Qj3fUB8UETDBxmvi1iHOkkI1AAnmbhmVGZe-JWjIuoB8wAfL_5IMOZf8GJk6ROcZNSHnQX4lJj9sBELpZLK32atpICbOCmVYN80dv7qYaJqw9sQ4IlW-yRvkVD5xet/s1600-h/13556562.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350360507174184034" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqvQlD2ndUE_HOh2Qj3fUB8UETDBxmvi1iHOkkI1AAnmbhmVGZe-JWjIuoB8wAfL_5IMOZf8GJk6ROcZNSHnQX4lJj9sBELpZLK32atpICbOCmVYN80dv7qYaJqw9sQ4IlW-yRvkVD5xet/s320/13556562.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here's me getting my car wash after the trip, lol.

I was gonna add a line to my individual plan, but then it would turn into a family plan which would cost more... Even if it was only an extra $10/month for another line, it still comes out to $240 over the next 2 years as opposed to paying the extra $200 for the phone right now.</div><br /><div>I also finally got an email about my pre-order for Sigma Brushes, so I purchased them.

I also ordered some ELF studio brushes since I thought "what the heck, I might as well put in this order too since I'm already ordering other things." And I have been working NONSTOP, so I deserve to give myself presents, haha. But seriously, I've been working like crazy. I worked overtime yesterday. At least that equals more $$, but I'm so tired and GRUMPY after work!<br /><br />I'm going camping tomorrow with the interns! I'm actually really excited now. I wasn't so excited yesterday, but it has finally hit me that it's tomorrow! I haven't even started packing yet... I think I'm going to pack tomorrow morning since we leave in the afternoon.<br /><br />On another note, I placed an order for 20 5g jars from <a href="http://rainbowminerals.ecrater.com/" target="new">Rainbow Minerals & More</a> about a month and a half ago, and I haven't received my order. I've emailed them <strong>NUMEROUS</strong> times too on two different email addresses that they have, but no response... So I filed a paypal claim against them. It just sucks cuz I was waiting on those jars, so I could send <a href="http://xmayaarix.blogspot.com/" target="new">Mayaari</a> some samples and now they're super delayed. If anyone's thinking of buying from them, <strong>DON'T!</strong> There's an ebay store with the same name, but I don't know for sure if it's the same person...Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-72614996372559511092009-06-14T18:12:00.000-07:002009-06-14T18:13:52.752-07:00NYX SunflowerSorry, been a little MIA. The only day I had off from work last week was Friday and I won't be having any days off this week. I'm going on a work camping trip on Thursday-Saturday to bond with the new interns we just hired, but I will update again before then :)<div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_0628.jpg" /><br /><br />Eyes<br />MAC Era all over lid<br />MAC Cork contour<div>MAC Ricepaper highlight</div><div>MAC Blacktrack Fluidline liner</div><div>Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara</div><div><br /></div><div>Lips</div><div>NYX Sunflower l/s</div></div>Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-78684852175266213302009-06-11T10:52:00.000-07:002009-06-11T10:52:00.371-07:00Innocence<img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/chginnocenceswatch.jpg"><br /><br />A swatch of China Glaze Innocence. It's a very sheer manicure pink. I painted on about 3 coats and it has a cream like consistency. I didn't really like it much when my nails started growing out though because you can see the tips underneath the coats of polish.. But it is a great manicure color.<br /><br />I really want to get Agent Lavender and White Kwik Silver, but they can only be found online and the shipping rates are kinda outrageous :(Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-44575174734206608442009-06-09T07:54:00.000-07:002009-06-09T07:54:00.599-07:00Outlet shopping with the BFFI went outlet shopping with my best friend the other day in Vacaville. We stopped by the Cosmetics Company outlet.. The MAC things they had were 1N lipstick, vanity child, lipstick, a few creme sheen lipsticks, a few lipsticks from the stylistics collection, a few eye shadows from the moon bathe collection, some eyeshadow duos (the rectangular shaped ones), one mineralize eye shadow that was navy, bronze, and dark brown colored, some holiday lipstick sets and eyeshadow sets from christmas, and I can't remember what else. They didn't have much eye shadows but a lot of lipglosses and lipsticks.<br /><br />I ended up walking out with no MAC :( Lol. I resisted because nothing really caught my eye.<br /><br />I did end up buying a Coach bag. Total spontaneous buy. I think it was super cheap, so I couldn't pass up the deal. It was $169 with a 10% discount since they were handing out 10% flyers to people when you enter the store... so my bag was $152+tax. Not bad since it retailed for $388 or something like that.<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/coach1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/coach2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/coach3.jpg"><br /><br />I told the boyfriend that my best friend bought it for me for my birthday, so he wouldn't get mad that I spent money. (Hehe) I bought him some new running shoes from the Nike outlet, but he wants me to return them cuz he said they cost too much. I didn't think so at the time, lol. He wants me to save up for my birthday trip to Vegas.<br /><br />I need ideas on what to get my dad for Father's Day! I have no clue! My last resort is to paint him a cup at Color Me Mine... lolLilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-56968680106167296392009-06-07T10:59:00.000-07:002009-06-07T10:59:01.131-07:00Bauble Bath Haul<img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2379.jpg"><br /><br />This is a haul I got in the mail a few weeks ago. Honestly, I'm not too happy with Bauble Bath. I ordered the body scrub sampler which came with 5 one oz sample scrubs and I also ordered the bauble surprise made up of some samples and some full size products. Mine came with bath bombs, mini bath bomb, soaps, bath melts, a full size sugar scrub, shea butter, and pistachio butter.<br /><br />Honestly, I feel like a lot of the scents I received were reject scents. The ones that people don't order so they have a lot of leftovers and let me tell you, I don't like about 85% of the scents that I received. I also got things like soap that I didn't even know they sell because it's not on the website... I also got two, three of the same scents in the same things (like 3 of the same bath bombs). I know it's a sampler and they can virtually put whatever they want in them, but isn't the whole point of a sampler to try different scents? Not 3 of the same thing?<br /><br />Anyway, moving on to the products themselves. The sugar scrubs are true SUGAR scrubs. Nothing but sugar. They were a bit dry when I opened them and I was hoping for a more creamy/foaming sugar scrub. Not exactly what I was expecting.. I use them on my face occasionally as a face scrub because these scrubs are sugar and only sugar.. I could've made this myself! lol<br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2483.jpg"><br /><br />The bath bombs lose their scent once they hit the water (thank god in this case, since I don't really like the scents I got but am going to use them anyway cuz I paid for them). This is my first time using a bath fizz, and I was really disappointed. There wasn't much fizz either.<br /><br />Scents I received:<br />Lavender Hills<br />Candied Petals<br />Mystery Fragrance<br />Berry Cream<br />Ceylon Black Tea<br />Acorns & Oak<br />Caramel Apple<br />Kumquat Marmalade<br />Miss Mary Mint<br />Jasmine Tea<br />Earl Grey & Chamomile<br />Blushing Pink<br /><br />6 also came unlabeled and aren't on the website so I have no clue what they are.<br /><br />I definitely wouldn't buy from them again. The scents from the website look so enticing so I figured I couldn't go wrong if I chose a sampler since most of the scents on their sound yummy and I didn't know which ones I wanted to try... but they sent me scents that weren't even on the website and were probably not their best sellers.Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-16356392196305481462009-06-05T09:01:00.000-07:002009-06-05T09:01:00.353-07:00Pigment Storage<img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2355.jpg"><br /><br />This is how I store my pigments. It was really hard for me to find craft containers with separated compartments that fit my pigments, so one day I decided to store them temporarily in a shoebox lid. I never ended up moving them and it got full, but at least it works! And luckily it fit the pigments in snuggly so they don't roll around. I don't plan to move my pigments around or else it'd get messy. They sit nicely in my drawer and I pull them out when I need them :)<br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2351.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr86/lilylovesmac/IMG_2358.jpg"><br />Hidden away in my drawer.Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-90727983012445087712009-06-03T07:28:00.000-07:002009-06-03T14:53:54.365-07:00Picture of the weekBecause my boyfriend & I crack ourselves up...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynIZmenf7wpcFy5lRPBFycJl_tnhNZltLkwoQGCPTYKKT4RPNoT3RI_bSO5megZ-dBsJKjPLzHyZIR70dz64HPXqMeFqlzvol1IlxUY4Nn08A0FnNnNZA6Gio47Dl4MMnVAVf2AWmniWj/s1600-h/artworkathospital.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjynIZmenf7wpcFy5lRPBFycJl_tnhNZltLkwoQGCPTYKKT4RPNoT3RI_bSO5megZ-dBsJKjPLzHyZIR70dz64HPXqMeFqlzvol1IlxUY4Nn08A0FnNnNZA6Gio47Dl4MMnVAVf2AWmniWj/s320/artworkathospital.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334465023312341410" /></a><br />This equals hospital boredom.<br /><br />On another note, I'm sick AGAIN! I just caught a mild flu 2 weeks ago and I just got sick with what seems like another flu again on Saturday... I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow. It's weird because this is the 3rd time I've been sick (like really sick) since March... and tomorrow will be the 4th time I've been to the hospital. UGH. Shouldn't the flu season be over by now? Maybe I have swine... Well I'll let you guys know tomorrow, lol. Ok, I guess it's not really a laughing matter.Lilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16968336434833647010noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409496201843798172.post-86162056745557889122009-05-30T08:57:00.000-07:002009-05-30T08:57:00.301-07:00FOTDHaven't done one in a while because I've been wearing the same old boring neutrals to work everyday, but today I decided to switch it up.
