Update and NARS/VS Haul

Yay! finally my jewelry blog is up and running. Check it out ^_^

Hope everyone is having a great holiday so far. I just came back from a week vacation with hubby and I'm just happy that we still have few days to relax before returning back to work :) We went on a road trip to VA and DC, stopped by Atlantic City for some beach time and roller coasters at Great Adventure in NJ. We had tons of fun :)

I got a package after coming back from the trip. The NARS Pleasures of Paris palette that I ordered from Saks before went on my trip. Yay! I can't wait to play with this palette. I have many of NARS duos and don't have any of the color in this palette besides Cordura on the lower right corner(well, it's a useful color, guess I can live with that, haha). This palette is so neutral and all colors compliment each other very well.

LOOOOOVE :)

I also pick up some goodies form Victoria Secrets. I do like VS makeup, some of their eyeshadows and lippes are nice and pigmented. They had revamped their line recently and here are what I got:

I pick up the PRO Voluptuous FX Mascara which works surprisingly good. It's pretty much like L'Oreal Voluptuous, the lash stay soft and not clumping. I also pick up their new Silky Eyeshadow in Between the sheets... love the name :) The shadow is very soft, it's almost like cream to powder kind of texture, very pigmented. This color reminds me a bit of MAC Mulch.

The thing I feel the most excited about is the Christian Siriano Kajal Eye Liner. This guy is so "fierce" and fashion forward, and the makeup is not disappointing. The liner is inspired by ancient Egyptian beauty, supposed to give a smudged, smoky effect. I tried it today, the color is very rich and last all day. Thumbs up!

DSK Giveaway and Weekend FOTD

I got 2 packages last week and I'm completely in love -- Geo circle lenses and DSK Jewelry :)

I finally got myself some of DSK jewelry after seeing so many gals blogged about it. Just like all her satisfied customers, I'm happy with all the pieces that I got :) Her style is simple and elegant, and I love that her stuff are all customizable, and she's very nice to work with (big plus :))

Stephanie (DSK owner) has a giveaway contest you all have to check out.... Go here to win some of her beautiful creations!

I've been gone for so long, finally here is a pic from the weekend...

Things that I've been loving (on my face)

-NARS Sugarland duo
-MAC Earth to Earth Mineralized blush
-Hue l/s (rediscovered this, love!!!)
-Geo Angel Brown
-DSK signature heart gold necklace

I'm still waiting more orders from Geo Eye candy. Wait and more wait... you all know getting those lenses needs lots of patience, and I have no patience... lol...

What do you all think about MAC Color Craft collection? I'm so overwhelmed with this collection... so many MSFs!  They're used to be my babies, those LE MSFs, I'd bought lots of them, sold them, got more of them... swap for more of them... and decided not to care about them... coz they are all so pretty and all so dupable, and I can never catch up with the speed of MAC!

So far I didn't get any from the Color Craft collection(thinking about Color Craft Lipstick tho). Haha! Go me :) Guess I'm over MSFs... move over MSFs, give me some NARS Lolita collection (must check out the new ES duos, they are TO DIE FOR!)
