Review - Skin79 Diamond BB Cream

WHEW!
What a week! Had a big assignment due, had to finish half of my final project, PLUS take my final ALL ON FRIDAY! I'm glad that's over with!!

Rocky doesn't want me to study =/ All he wants to do is PLAY!!!

Got to Ulta to buy some stuff...and this was one item that I thought was cool! I don't have any eye cream with SPF...and I don't know why! I use my Shiseido which I love, so I guess I just keep using it. Anyhoo....I picked up this Sunblock stick because it has a Spf 60+! I believe it is great to use for the eyes because...if it's gentle enough for a BABY, it should work great for our eye area =) Gotta avoid those wrinkles!

BB CREAM REVIEW
I also purchased the Dimond Collection's Perfect Cover, which is like a concealer.

First, the Diamond BB Cream...
Not my favorite. It has a slightly gray-ish color...but luckily it is quite sheer/light so it doesn't have a strong gray color when I use it, but out of the tube it doesn't look very appealing. Again...very sheer, so not something I would use often. Only when my skin is quite clear.

Second, the Diamond Perfect Cover. It has a SUPER STRONG orange/yellow coloring. Luckily, it blends right into my skin. VERY SHOCKING at first. It covers OKAY. It tends to crease during mid-day, which I really hate.
All in all, I'm glad I didn't purchase LARGE sizes of these Skin79 BB Creams, and I got the mini set instead. Although I only got about 5ish aplications from the small tube, it is WAYY better than spending $15-20ish on a bottle that I don't like =/ Dr. Jart Black Label is still my HG!

Today's experiment:
1/2 face Dimond
1/2 face Dr. Jart

No sun out today...soooooo, my face has been holding up well on both sides. Coverage wise, Dr. Jart stays PUT! Dimond just slowing starts fading or something. Doesn't stay on as well.

Lastly, Dimond has ZERO SPF =( Bummer!! That's the final deal breaker = no future purchase.

MAC =X

So, I've never really been a 'MAC' girl. Meaning, I've never bought MAC items on a regular basis. Just some items, here and there.
SOOooOOOooO, this is my first official MAC purchase =)

I loved the packaging of Style Warrior, so I thought I would place a purchase online, and just ended up buying EVERYTHING else I've always wanted to try =)


My Style Warrior items. I feel like I should have gotten a few more items =X
Hopefully I'll be back to posting soon =)
This week was Rocky's trip under the knife. So I've been watching him like a HAWK, making sure he's not jumping and running like a crazy dog everywhere, which has been DIFFICULT!!!

He seems fine, and still laying FLAT ON THE FLOOR =D Super cute!!!

Have a fab weekend everyone!!!!

Dog at Work

At work, one of my customers brought her therapy-dog-in-training with her. He's an American Bulldog and just look at how GINORMOUS HE IS!!!
Hilarious sitting position!!!!
He can also SNEEZE on cue! Super cute! I wonder if I can teach Rocky to do that =]

Rocky's current sleeping position:

Then he tried to squeeze into his bed!!! HAHAHAHHADANGGG he's sooooooooooooooooo big now! Look at how cutey and teeny he was before!

DENIM SALE ANYONE???

It's that time of year again for the Rock & Republic Sample Sale. I am not going to this one, but from previous years, prepare for LOooOOoooNG lines! So, wake up early ladies!!!!

Been quite busy.
School + Work + Rocky. Also, internet isn't working at my casa anymore =( Really hard to get some internet time for myself. Usually it's for work or school.

Baby haul. Got an extra DrJart Black Label (not pictured), and decided to venture out to Skin79's stuff. So, I decided to get the set =) Super cute, but also pretty tiny. I haven't used any yet, but I will soon, and hopefully like at least ONE of them. Though, I've been really digging Skinfood Aloe. I have to get #2 next time! #1 is okay, but a bit light.
I did a TEENNYY haul at Sephora during their random 15%. Should be coming SOOONNN!!!

Lastly, I leave you with ROCKY. From many funny sleeping positions, this is his *new* favorite sleeping position. He's SOOOOOOOOOOOO big now! 13 freakin lbs!! My arms were sore from carrying him for a couple hours...dang, I needa work out. HAHAH.

ROCKY + Update

Haven't been doing much.
Work Work Work.
Here's Rocky with me at work...
ENTIRELY FLAT on the floor...TOOOOO CUTE!!
The first time I saw him do this, I was like WTF? Is that normal???
So, finally caught him doing it with a camera near by =)

INNOCENT

1 second later...

GRROOWLLLLLL

Sccarryyy, huh??/

kekekekek

Ordered some Sephora stuff, but RIGHT BEFORE the 15% =(

Sucks...

Got a couple new masks.

Will blog when I try them out.
Full review on Laneige Star White Line soon. Still using it...unsure if I LOVE it or not. Some pros and cons.

Take care ya'll!!!

Did some damage =D

So, I finally made a trip out to Amore to get some goods! That was the easiest $100 spent in <2 minutes =X I got the Star White Line: Skin Refiner, Emulsion, and Cream. I passed on a few of the other items but if these 3 works with my skin, I may cave and get the rest!

I also got the Makeup Remover with that cool pump =) I figured, if anything, I can reuse the bottle. Put some Lancome Makeup Remover in there or something. So far, so good. Not IN LOVE with it, but it does it's job without the oily residue...so that's a definite PLUS!

Got the free rose box thingy. Some awesome samples that I'm excited to try! I've been on the search for an eye cream with higher than SPF 10 or whatever that doesn't leave that sunscreen residue, so hopefully Laneige will answer my calling!

I wanted more lashes but they didn't hav the style I was looking for. Bummer!!! But...I probably didn't really neeeeeeed any more lashes 0=)

Went down the street to Guppy's to have a quick bite. But of course knowing me and J, we ended up ordering WWAAAAYYYYYYY more than we kud handle =X It was delicious either way!!
Strawberry + Mango SMMAAALLLLLL size...wtf??? I guess we should have gotten the Cup size instead. But the condensed milk was Oh-SO good! I'm def making this at home all summer long this year =)

Spent the whole afternoon out and had to leave lilo ole Rocky at home by himself for the first time =(

LOOOOOOK AT THOSE EYES!!!!!

Poor baby was crying so much =**************(

Then when I got home, played with him...
and he knocked the f*ck out!!!

HAHAHAHH too kute!
Dontcha just love his sleeping position????
