[Snob Haulin': CCO and Various places...]






Yesterday, my bestie Steph and I went shopping for Halloween, including accessories and makeup. First stop, Swap Shop. Didn't end up getting anything but did spot a lot of things for clubwear. Next stop, beauty supply warehouse. We mainly stopped here because a while back, I had seen Red Cherry & Bliss lashes. They were $1 when I first saw them (6-8 months ago)! They had gone up to $2.99, I believe. They had really nice styles, but not exactly what my friend and I were looking for. Next, we wanted to find nail polish and containers (so I can store my pigments in) and I spotted the Orly brand. I had seen the matte topcoat for males at Sally's before and I was on a mission to find it. I finally found it and swatched it (after I dropped the open bottle on the floor), I was not pleased. It left my nail polish shiny (opposite of matte lol). 3rd stop: SAWGRASS MALL!!! I love this mall! The place we always hit up first is Off Saks 5th, and striaght to the CCO (cosmetic company outlet). I wanted to see if they had the BBU Foundation palette (Bobbi Brown). It's because I have a wedding to do next month. I did spot the brights palette. Anyway, move onto my fav brand: M.A.C.! They had the usual but I spotted the some items from the Style Warrior collection: solar bits, 1 eyeshadow (the dark brown one). I saw the usual eyeshadows and pigments but a couple caught my eye. Blue flame and star by night. These are beautiful blue shades. Blue flame is a shimmery navy blue and str by night is a midtone blue. I haven't swatched aquavert (a repromote in Sugarsweet), and I totally fell in love with it. Its a baeutiful mint color with a pretty shimmer. They had also a shadestick (lemon chiffon) and the tri-colour lipglasses. They also had fresh green mix (which I have been lemming for the longest time), pink split (not WoC friendly) and other piggies. I also saw the Astonish all over gloss (discontinued). This is an all purpose gloss that can be used as a base for eyeshadow/glitter, and a highlighter. I shuffled over to the palette and brushes that they had, and I saw the Carmine eye brush set with the all mighty 239 brush!!! I almost died. They carried both Dame Edna palettes, Hello Kitty Lucky Tom Palette, and... (cue the drums...) Tempting Quad (Yay!) and an old school quad that I can't remember the name right now.... Anyway, I'm thinking of saving up to buy a makeup bag... It was from an OLD school collab with some Richard guy. I then looked at the brushes they had... 129SH, 181SE and the 225 brush, which is not on their site. After that, we ended up the fetish factory in Broward. My friend was lloking for corsets and I was lloking for stripper shoes for my costume. Upon leaving, I found Medusa's Makeup at the counter! I was the happiest little girl ever! I was finally able to feel and touch the product (I had only seen them online). But, I am definitely going to purchase them from the store than online because shipping rates are REDONKULOUS!! Then, we ended up at a dollar store/beauty supply store and spotted some Bliss and Red Cherry lashes for $2.50, i think. (As you can tell its been a long day) I ended up going to the nail polish section and spotted Orly. And in the mierda (crap) of nail polishes, I found diamonds in the rough. ORLY Satin MATTE FINISH NAIL COLOR!!!!!!! I almost died! Anyway, the guy was trying to convince me to buy 4 nail polishes (I only wanted 2 of them) for $6. Anyway, I ended up buy 2 for $4. i got a gryish purple duochrome and a deep purple, which is similar to the matte couture that orly has released recently. I'm so happy with my tiny tiny purchase... Enjoy the pics.. Later...

[My bad...]

I'm sorry I have been neglecting my blog lately... I have been going through some personal issues and I'm slowly trying to resolve them. My job, school and personal things have been piling up and I'm taking everything one day at a time. I will be back to blogging soon. On a lighter note, I started booking makeup jobs. Recently, my friend Steph's lil sister had homecoming and I assigned myself to hair and makeup. Long story short, I did her makeup AND her friend's makeup. YAY!! So my besties older sister has been my walking billboard and her friend wantes to me to do her halloween makeup. YAY! Then, I talked to my co-worker and I mentioned he mother's upcoming wedding. Come to find out, she already mentioned it to her n=mother about my makeup skills. Today, we finally reached a set price!! YAY!!!! I will be sure to take plenty of pics of both the halloween and wedding photos... Anyway, Peace out!

The top left hand corner is the mineralized shadoes and the rest are dazzleglasses and
lipsticks... sorry I didn't take better pictures to name the colors..... The blue is part of the Blue Sorcery mineralized shadow...

[Magic, Mirth and Mischief Event @ M.A.C. Part Uno]


Last night (Oct. 6th), My friend Che and I went to the Magic, Mirth and Mischief event at our local M.A.C. I had gotten the invite the day before and quickly RSVP'ed. I was really excited! My first M.A.C. event! On to the event, at the door, there was a beautiful woman that was dressed as the model on the MMM Collection. (If you haven't seen it, hit up Temptalia) She gave out a little bottle of bubbles to every person. There were holiday displays all over the store and of course, a HUGE crowd of people surrounding them. My friend and I eventually hit up the Lip/Eye bags. It is a series of 4 bags which contain 3 lip products or 4 eye products. They retail for $36.50 and it is a great value! In the eye bags, you get a full size pigment and fluidline, a 209 brush and a promo size of Zoomblack.

I was completely floored when seeing these in person! (I had seen these on All Cosmetics Wholesale The star of the group was Jingle-Jangle. Its a soft pink with holographic reflective glitter. Its so beautiful.
Next, out of the corner of my eye, I see the familiar cremesheen glass tube (I was standing behind the display because there was so much people.) I almost fainted! I really wanted to try these but missed it when the collection was launched! The shades they are repromoting are:

[Startin' my makeup portfolio...]



So, the other night my bff Steph aka Twinkie was going to South beach for a night out. I suggested I be her stylist/makeup artist. I picked out a great outfit: a pencil skirt and a teal halter with a silver necklace detail. Anyway, i wanted to try a hand at full face makeup opposed to just eye makeup.... Let me know what you guys think.
