HUGE post - Collective Haul!

Hello, hello! Long time no blog, I'm not going to repeat that I am swamped in work. My midterms start next week and I am slowly but surely preparing for them... T_T
Also, I found out that I got an A for my summer class, a nice way to boost my GPA by 0.7 LOL.

So on to the (small) haul, shall we?
First, I'm going to start off with my rain boots. I had a pair I got for $15 but it was one of those things where I really "got what you paid for" and the front parts ripped within the first season I wore them (not to mention the overwhelming smell of rubber). Basically, rain/snow was getting into my boots if I stepped into a puddle and that really was not... working well for me. Drenched socks are no fun. So I got these Sperry Top-Sider ones in Navy/Yellow/Grey. So far, so good because it doesn't smell haha. But we'll have to see for sure. They were originally for $80-100 but I got them for $30. Pretty good deal I guess. Really loving the... nautical(?) feel I get from them lol :)


Next up is my small Bath and Body Works. It was buy 2 get 1 free and I really only wanted the Paris Amour shower gel (it smells like Juicy Couture's viva la juicy, I think) but the sales lady INSISTED I bought another one so I got the sweet pea shower gel/lotion combo. Classical scent from B&BW and I'm thinking of giving it to my co-worker as a Christmas gift.



And I was dying to get a new BB cream that was water based so I got the Lioele Water Drop BB cream. I think it was $18 + veeeery generous freebies from yeppeunsonyuh. If you're looking for cheap Korean/Asian brand make up or circle lens, she's your gal!



Some clothes I bought as well.

^Banana Republic, Size Small, $15. It's a size small but it's definitely meant to be off-shoulders. And the sleeves are a little long, but that's just how I like it. Oh, and those sparkles!! Love,love,love!
Extras:




Ann Taylor, Size Small, $13 - I know this looks like a typical shirt in picture but it's really not because the middle navy part is a little sheer! Not quite mesh but sheer.
Extra:



^Banana Republic, Size XS, $15 - I'm usually a small so I was pretty disappointed to find that they only had this in XS. But I tried it on and it fit! I got this mainly because I thought the front was so pretty, almost like curtains!
Extra:


And last but definitely not least - Sephora! Sorry for the blurry picture :(

Urban Decay The Revolution Eyelash Curler, 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner in Demolition, Laura Mercier Lipstick in "Belle".

Extra pictures for the UD Revolution Eyelash Curler :




Andddd the UD 24/7 eyeliner! It's really nice but I was expecting a slightly lighter shade of brown... it's pretty dark. I can't imagine how dark black would be!






And that is ALL!
So, what do you guys think of my damage? Haha. Especially the eyelash curler... let me know what you think!

I can't do it anymore!

Today we gave a presentation. I told my partner (from my previous post) that the word "peligroso" means "dangerous" repetitively since last Thursday. Our professor asked my partner what the word peligroso meant. She said "book". Oh my goodness. I just can't do it anymore, thank GOD classes end tomorrow -_- BOOK?!?!? BOOOOOOK?!?! T_T

Sorry for all the *#($*#&$*(, I can't help it sometimes. And it's not very nice to talk about someone like this through the internet but I need SOMEWHERE to vent.

Aside from that, today's post will be a review/NOTD post.

Laura Mercier - Secret Camouflage *this is a concealer :) $28 - sephora.




This isn't mine, I bought this for my mom because she used to use Clinique's City Stick as her concealer but they discontinued it! So she was so sad so I bought this for her to try out. Basically the right side is a correcter and the left is the concealer. The packaging is pretty neat, it came with a Styrofoam inside between the make up and the mirror.

This is ideal for older women with wrinkles and lines. The downside is, with the City Stick, she could basically just apply it wherever but now she has to use a brush or her fingers. Also, the price is pretty steep but even the City Stick was a tad too expensive, nor did it last too long. The upside is, this will probably last forever!

You apply the right side first, then the left to conceal everything and hold it in place :) I'm pretty sure she's enjoying this but it's not as great as the City Stick. After this one, I'm going to buy her Bobbi Brown's concealer stick thingy, the only problem is that they don't have my mom's EXACT shade. Must do some more researching.

NOTD - Ok. I seriously hate it when I decide "oh today I'm just going to play around with some nail polish" and totally end up liking what I did even though I wasn't planning on it! I was playing around with my grey and navy polishes before and I didn't clean up very nicely as I wasn't planning on keeping this. Now I like it but it looks messy ;(

Then when I sit down to actually "do my nails" it comes out ugly. Thank you, life.




I messed up mostly on my index and ring fingers. The tip on my index finger is too wide while the one on my ring finger is crooked :( but overall, I really like the way it looks :) Some minor chipping because I took these photos today (did them 3 days ago).

That's all for today OH AND stay tuned for another "guess this junk food" post :P
