What a morning!

Wow - it's only 1:40 pm and already so much has happened! Nothing good... I would say but it is these times when I'm sad or lonely or whatever, I go on my blog and write my thoughts away and I feel better :)

And it is always so nice to see comments from all of you guys - I totally consider you all to be my new cyber friends! You have really made my day - just the idea that someone out there is listening to what I have to say. It's very nice.

Okay, well, this post will just be a bunch of random things...

First of all, I won Mocha Mish Mash's Valentine's Day contest!! Yay!!! I got my package yesterday and check out these 5 awesome Milani nail polishes:


From left to right: Metallic Mango, Garnet Gems, Golden Goddess, Bella Berry, Brown-a-licious

I think the coolest of the bunch is Garnet Gems. It is black/navy but it has RED sparkles/glitter in it. So cool looking. I don't know if I can pull it off but I will definitely try them out.

My favorite by looking at the bottle is Brown-a-licious. It just looks like a deep red with golden sparkle in it. I think this will look so awesome on the nails!



I have Golden Goddess on right now. I have to say that I enjoy the nail polish and application is so effortless. However, I don't think I look good w/ golds at all! Gold necklaces or gold eye shadows. And there is no exception for gold nail polish either.


Look, my polish collection has grown exponentially!!


I have this as a base and a top coat... let me tell you - this stuff is amazing! And it is less than $4!! With this as a base coat - my nail polish have stayed unchipped for a week!! YES it is true. Even colors that tend to chip the 2nd day after application has managed to stay 3x longer! Get this if you are looking for a great base or top coat. Doesn't really help w/ your nails turning yellow though... but I don't really know anything that would help.

** If you guys do.... please let me know :D

On other news: the continuation of my Project 10 Hit Pan. Well it isn't really going all that well because I've been buying cosmetics items.... BUT I still have been working hard to use up some items:



Look - I see the pan on my Rimmel bronzer!! WHOO HOO... Let me tell you that they give you 14 grams!! for this. Yeah BIG "14" so it just shows you how much I've used this item.

And my daily Neutrogena moisturizer is GONE!!! Every last drop!! I really enjoyed this product but I think I'm gonna branch out and buy something else... I hear Cetaphil might be good. Definitely requires SPF something though!

Other products following the hit pan direction:



I will soon have to buy a new night creme and nail polish remover soon! Oh and a new lip balm because that's all that is left in the Softlips! Burts Bees or Palladio lip balm - HERE I COME!

----------------------

Oh by the way, I keep forgetting... BUT... CHECK OUT NV BEAUTY'S VALENTINE GIVEAWAY

PLEASE JOIN THAT GIVEAWAY FOR AWESOME PRIZES!

Thanks so much for reading everyone!!!

Please comment - I love to hear from you all :D

Have a great day and a great weekend.

Confession of a Blush-aholic

So, my make up collection is growing. Actually, scratch that - it's not really a collection. I don't buy stuff just to have it. I really buy stuff because I think I could really use it. And I have a drawer full of make up. I would say 35% of it is blush! Blush blush blush! No matter what, I just keep buying it even though I know it is impossible for me to use them all up! But I don't swap my blushes away either! I don't know. I just really love BLUSH! It is an essential thing for me to have for my daily make up routine. So I'll share w/ you by beautiful babies.

1) The PINKS


- WnW's Pearlescence Pink: I love this (some say it is a Nars Orgasm dupe) but it has the golden glitter that makes me not want to wear it for everyday.

- Jane's Blushing Petal and Blushing Plum: amazing blushes! So cheap and so wearable for everday :D

2) The CORALS/PEACH


- Revlon's Honey Bunch: one reason I don't swatch for this is the packaging. It looks so pretty! And though I barely use this (I don't know why... b/c I love the color) I'm planning to keep this til the end!

- WnW's Spotlight Peach: one of my favorite blushes! I wrote a review and even place it as a product spotlight. Yes, I adore this baby. Oh, and you get 9 grams! DANG!

- CoverGirl's Pretty Peach: I think that's the name. One of my first blushes I ever bought for myself. It is so pretty although I wish it was a bit more pigmented on my skin.

** - Maybelline's Mineral Powder Blush in True Peach II: recently got it and very pretty - although I hate using mineral powder things.

3) The MISC Colors


- Revlon's Rose Petal: I think that's the name. It's kinda a mauvy-pink color. Another blush that I got since the beginning. I like it although it as a bit of a sheen to it. I use to apply it w/ a scratchy brush that it came w/... oh good old times :)

- CoverGirl's Deep Rose: Perfect color for the winter - when I'm all pale and stuff. It is like an apple red color. Very pigmented! Weird smell though - that goes for all the CG cheekers blush.

- NYX's Terracota: Adore this color! Peachy, corally, bronzy, but goes on a really really natural pink! LOVE IT! I believe this is my most expensive blush at $6-7. Yeah, most of my blushes I got on sale :D The only thing about this blush is that it isn't matte so there is a bit of a problem when it comes to wearing it everday. But I do love this color!

** - Milani's Luminous: Been wanting this for awhile but finally swapped for it! Yay. It's pretty good so far. Kinda has the same problems as my NYX.

4) Finally, Cream Blushes!


- Maybelline's Mousse Blush in Rose Petal: I really like this blush!! I love it but it has golden specs in it and so I can't wear it everyday because people will def. ask why my face is sparkly! But I love it nonetheless.

- Revlon's Berry Flirtatious: I like this cream blush - very pigmented and has great potential to last awhile. Not the biggest fan w/ the color but it will have to do for now. Best part is - it's MATTE! BUT it is hard to blend!

- Jane's Blushstix in Shimmering Pink: Not too shimmery. Smells bad - hey, I already did a review for this so I don't really want to repeat myself.

- E.L.F's Colorstick in Pink Lemonade: Smells bad. Kinda have the same shimmer as the Jane one. Def. not my favorite! Still usable though.

That's all I have. Well, it's a lot! But yeah. I tell you I love blushes! This leads to my announcement of:


I've decided to do a 10 Pan Project or whatever the order of the words are suppose to be. Can you see the words in the pic? On this computer, I can't see it at all!

So far:
+ Neutrogena Ance Stress Control Cleanser
+ Burts Bee's Lip balm (my 2nd or 3rd tube I think)

My hope is to hit pan on one of these blushes! I hate for them to go to waste.

Well, that's all for now.

ToOdles!
