On the search for a PEACH blush....

On my attempts to find a nice PEACH blush, I decided to try Benefit's Georgia.

It comes in the super cute boxed packaging. Obviously not as sturdy as compacts. And I'm always afraid it'll get wet and start falling apart =X
Has a very cute matching brush that is utterly USELESS =|And...the color is OOOHHH-SOOO light that it doesn't even show up on me. That swatch was taken with many many MANY strokes!Overall...I love the smell. OH it's such a nice fragrance!! But, it is USELESS for me. I don't see it giving me a 'warm, happy glow' as it claims. BOO!

I also recently purchased MAC's Peaches blush...which is VERY bright and almost more orange/coral than it is peach. So, still on the search. Any reccs???



Went to my favorite 'hole-in-a-wall, ghetto-fab and cheap' sushi place =)

Gin Sushi in Pasadena

LOVE...THIS...PLACE =) They have lots of cooked dishes.

Lobster Special - Octobus Roll - Dragon Roll (Salmon w/Spicy Tuna)**DROOLS**

Got some tempura as well. Broccoli????For dessert...
Went down Colorado to 21 Choices. Fav place for yogurt. Better than those self-serve crap that's been popping up at EVERY block!!!!

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!!!!

Weekend Fun

Celebrated a friend's birthday this weekend. Lots of fun. Took like 200+ pictures in a span of a few hours =) Me and J had ZERO cute pictures though...sooo I had to do some cropping of people.

GOAL OF THE NIGHT: GET BIRTHDAY BOY DRUNK OFF HIS A$$!
Even though he's thin, he can out drink EVERYONE! It's CRAZY!!! But he surely got wasted that night =D

Me and J...hard at work! We needed a fun outing, and it was surprisingly fun. And YES, I turn the embarrassing CHERRYYYY after a sip of ANYTHING =(

All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. Soju (YUM!!). Hite. Fish Tacos. Midori Sour.

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.
