Warning: Long Post & Picture Heavy

I can't believe it's already march, and I only got less than two days to pack our stuff cuz' guess what? we're moving again....but this time although I don't like the place that we are moving to but I'm not complaining, I can't wait to leave our current place for some reason....

last week I got a surprise love package♥♥♥ from the wonderful Dina....she's such a sweetheart...thanks for my late Valentine's & CNY goodies dina....

The Pink SkinFood Nailpolish is so pretty, and the SilverQueen Chunky Bar is so yummy...it's white chocolate with stawberry & cashew, what more can you ask for...all those candies were gone in a minute...and pooh as tigger is so cute...It sure made my day!!!Thanks girl..**Mwah**

I also want to thank the gorgeous Julie (Pop Champange), I got to win her Skin MD Giveaway...I normally don't win on giveaways but I got lucky ^_^...I received the Skin MD Shielding Lotion a long time ago with some samples so I already use it a few times on my body & face and I like it....It's not sticky, it doesn't feel like you're using anything at all....highly recommend this especially on hot & humid weather.

Weekend Hauls....

My Shopping Philosophy is "Never buy anything that is not on Sale unless you reallyyyy like it" cuz' I'm the kind of person that if I saw something that I really like & then I didn't buy it, I would have sleepless nights..LOL...I know I'm a psycho... but damn......a lot of stuff are on sale this weekend..so here's what I got......
I have this Huge black leather bag that my mom bought me...that i love....I haven't used it for quiet a while so I thought why not use it this weekend...when we were already in the car I realized that my bags leather was cracked and falling apart :( so I need a new bag right away...we stopped by Ross and got this bag for only $15...although the old one is better cuz' it has a real soft leather but the damage is done....

My Weekend mini Haul......

As I've said in my last post, I'm going to try not to buy too much stuff..well, last weekend i was determined not to go out but my hubby insist that he needs to go shopping...so we went to the nearest mall which is like an hour drive..(I didn't say I'm not going to spend on anything at all, I just said that I'm going to lessen it :-D )..so these are what I got on that day......
From L-R(Top) Sally girl Eyeshadow(Coral),B&BW Lip Balm & Tints, Mac Lippy & Concealer , CHI Silk Infusion, (Bottom) Pure Ice Nail Polish, China Glaze Nail Polish

I like lip balms with minty flavor...I rarely use lip balms without mint at all and C.O.Bigelow's Lip Balms and Tints are so perfect for me..It taste minty,It has a bit of color,It's moisturizing and It's cheap(Buy 2,get 1 free) on all Bath & Body Works Stores..L-R Mentha Lip Tint(Pink Mint),Vitamin Mentha(Baby Pink),Mentha Lip Tint(Coral Mint)
I also went to the Mac Counter because I needed a good concealer...I was only there for a few minutes because my hubby was already waiting outside so I got the Mac Moisturecover(Nw25) and as I was about to pay for it on the counter I saw the Mac Viva Glam VI SE Lipstick,I immediately decided to get it...I didn't even try it...anyway it was for a good cause...hehe....
Mac Viva Glam VI SE **Love**
Here's the Swatch.....
I'm not into Lipstick so much because I never look good with it (especially with the darker ones) and it dries my lips but I absolutely love the Viva Glam VI SE......It's like this pretty pinkish-mauve color and it's a bit dark when you swatch it but in the lips it becomes this very nice pink color.....and also I think the color will look good with any skin tones....

after spending on 2 hollister tops for me and 6 polo shirts for my hubby,at the mall we passed by Sally's and I got some China glaze Nail Polish in (L-R) For Audrey and Camisole and a Coral Sally girl mini eyeshadow...
and also got some Pure Ice Nail Polish at walmart (L-R) Splash,Rumors,New Lilac (I tried the splash and it sucks....too sheer (even with several coats) & its too liquidy
and lastly because my hubby got obsessed with an Old navy khakis that he wanted to have it in every color (according to him it's the perfect fit) and unfortunately on that day we already went to two old navy stores in two different cities and both stores don't have his size...so we went to a third one...and while he was there I went to Ulta....and because I'm trying not to spend too much (recession) I only got the CHI silk Infusion which I can't leave without.....i got the 2 oz. because I need it for my weekend trip....
My forever 21 package arrived last friday and I loveeeee it.....here's the ring ( I got the wrong size it's too big..it keeps on sliding off my ring finger but whatever...I still love it..)
that's it for now......have a great week y'all....

XOXO,
Iris
