My cold weather CRAVINGS!

Started raining last night here in LA.

Lovely!
Woke up this morning with a HUGE craving for chocolate.
So, I made some brownies =)

I also used some melted Ghirardelli chocolate to put on top. *drools* It's insanely a sweet ass brownie!!!!

I did some shopping at Urban. Returned half the things I got though, sadly. I really wanted most of the items to work out.

Got a new ID case. My old one (bought from Urban) broke =( So I finally replaced it!

Bought a bunch of tees from Threadless =) Some for the boytoy, myself, and gifts!

My order from Coastal Scents.

These brushes are 'aiight'. They are decent. Somewhat soft. Only the concealer brush was REALLY stinky. The other two were okay.

Overall, I'd put a *PASS* on this set.

I also got the bent liner brush and the pink crease brush.

Bent liner is good. It's quite thin and that was EXACTLY what I wanted.

The crease brush is QUITE large. I was hoping it would be more like a pencil brush, but oh well. Didn't stink or shed or had dye come out when washed, so I'm happy.

Got one of the Gel Liners. I wanted Black, but it wasn't in stock. This is Indigo Blue. Super pretty!! Love the color, but don't like the quality very much. As an eyeliner, I don't like it very much. It tends to move around, so doesn't quite stay put! But, as a base, I believe it works really well. It's creamy and dry at the same time.
Overall, I'd say *PASS*. I just placed an order at Sephora for the MUFE AquaLiner. So I have high hopes for that to work out!

So, I saw the MAC 25% off Holiday Sets =X

I am going broker than BROKE status! There's so much I want. And I'm such a sucker for a good deal!

I'm thinking, one palette (maybe more) and all the Little Darling lipgloss sets! I'm in the need of some right now! I've never been much of a 'lip' person, so might as well start my collection now!!

Welps, off to make my MAC list =) Keep warm ya'll!

At last.......

Halloweeennnn...the best time for our slutty sides to come out ROOAARRIINGG!!!
but...

I chose NOT to =]Candy Stripper...oOps I mean STRIPER!!!

Homemade costume =] Super awesome.

It only cost $3 for the fabric which was 50% off!

WHAT A DEAAL!

I wasn't digging that hat very much...

but without it...I look like...a waitress or candy cane or some girl wearing red&white.

HAHAHAHHA Siamese Twins!!!!

They were together the entire night!

...I wonder what happens when one of them needs to take a piss???

...AANNNDDD...

the BEST part of the night...

my latest addition...

midnight cravings...

can't sleep without visiting...

TACO TRUCK

!!!!

Luckily, there were LOTS of other people in their costumes too!

I swooped up J for a quicky since she had to do a project due Monday so she didn't come out to play for Halloween.

(Tried to get the TACO TRUCK in the background)

We look like f-en dOrks! HAahha

OMG! My knees are still BLACK! I got sunburned JUST on my knees so it looks HORRIBLE hahahha...that's what I get for being pale!

Anyhoo...Tacos El Gallito on Fair Oaks & Bellevue, Pasadena!

Seriously...I've had tacos almost 5 times a week for the past month!

It's an addiction.

Imma pay for it when my metabolism comes to a hault =X

Honestly, they don't have the BEST meat, but their condiments & sauce makes up for it! They have huge buckets full of tomato, onion, cilantro, lime, beans, and 3 different sauces out for you to put on your taco! How great is that!

I love tomatos in my tacos =]

I wanted to take more photos, esp of the food, but...

(1) once I get them, they disappear within minutes =X

(2) camera ran out of batteries [=

Their green hot sauce is one of the best! It's a bit more watery than my usual liking, but it still hits the right spot!

Anyhoo, you will see me there most nights around 12am =]

DAMN THOSE MIDNIGHT CRAVINGS!!!!

My costume inspiration was from SATC:

I thought it came out pretty darn close! Just not as short =]

Sooooo tired by the end of the night...but Mandom made taking off my makeup SUPER FAST!AND I had work the next day =/


My happy surprise! I got a HUGE box from Nordy with my MAC BRUSHES!!!

Sucks that mine was crushed =/ but the inside was fine!

The round bag was a lilo disappointing. That plastic bright red thing makes it look AWEFUL!

But I dig that extra baby pouch! Even though it's cheapy feeling.

The brushes are ALRIGHT. Nevertheless, imma keep them, esp for $35.

To my surprise, my Mineral Sheer Tint that I bought finally came! I ordered Light and Natural Glow. Light seems to fit me better, but since it's OH-SO sheer, Natural Glow will probably fit me as well.

I've wanted to try it ever since I saw it on Urban Apothecary site and Whitney's rave about them.

I don't know if I like it yet. It's pretty darn sheer, and I knew it would be, but it's practically nonexistent on me =X

But, I guess I gota play with it. Today was the first day using it, and I think I need a bit more coverage. Or a better concealer...since all I actually use are minearl concealers. MAC Studio Finish is a bit TOOO heavy for my liking, but I still want to try the Select CoverUp and/or Moisturecover.

This all adds up and translate to........

GOTTA ADD MORE SHIT TO MY SEPHORA LIST =]

I'm trying to narrow it down, but gosh-darnit, it's HARD!

I brought my rainboots to work, but it's NOT rainning =(

Michaels - Makeup Brushes

MICHAELS: 25% off on all OPEN STOCK ARTIST BRUSHES

Now thru Sept. 6, 08

I got the infamous Loew Cornell 270 Mop brushes 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch (purple handle) ●●●●●/5

Unfortunately, they were out of the 3/8 inch = They work great, as lots of other people have said. They pick up a generous amount of color. I don't have the MAC 239 to compare, so I cannot comment on that. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Loew Cornell 7400 Angular 1/8 (black handle) ●●●●●/5

Also, I got a really great slant eyeliner brush. I've been using it and I LOVE it so far! It gives me the perfect thin line that I want and it's easy for me to make a slightly thicker line. Awesome control. Compared to other slant eyeliner brushes, this one is half the size. Mine are all 1/4, and this one is 1/8, so it helps with control.
