Mary Kay kinda day!

I received my order of Mary Kay today. Of which, 25% was donated to Camp Ronald McDonald including a few other orders placed with Chantal. She decided the best way to raise money for the Walk for Kids 2011 was to allow people to buy something for themselves and also feel good about donating to a good cause. So here is what I got:

This is Lavender Fog. I also purchased Moonstone (a cream color - not goldish like it kinda appears in this photo) and thought they'd both go well with the Sweet Plum (dark purple) I already had.

This Mary Kay compact is something I already had from a previous purchase. The left section is magnetic, perfect for putting together whatever color scheme you want that you use daily (or just that day, then switch them out!) and I really suggest it. Mary Kay makes blush or lip color in these little dishes that would fit under the length of these shadows and a small blush brush that would fit in the compartment on the right. However I have purchased an eyebrow kit (super teeny tiny) to put there for eyebrow touchups. The lip gloss shown is also a previous purchase called Goldrush.

I also bought this.

I wanted a lip color that had more staying power than lip gloss but wasn't dry like I find some lipsticks to be (granted, I don't really own lipstick, but whatever). This Mary Kay product is liquid lip color and is pretty much in between lip gloss (it's not glossy, but it's still liquid) and it's not dry and doesn't emphasize my dry, cracked lips.

It's a pale pink and I actually like it. I think it will go good with the few times I wear pink eyeshadow. I'm thinking of buying the next darker shade. :D

Another purchase I'm excited about is this roll up makeup bag.

It was like $30 but I'm sure it will clear up some shelf space and would be nice to put my bathroom stuff in and just carry the bag to the bathroom (because I do not keep my things in the shower with these roommates - if I don't trust my food in their fridge, I don't trust my cleaning products in their bathroom).

And here's a nice surprise:

Chantal also ordered some thank you gifts for a few of her customers. It's a super cute mini brush bag that came with these brushes:

Four pretty common brushes. This is pretty rad because this little bag coupled with the Mary Kay compact I have, I pretty much have everything I need in my purse to do my makeup. Wowzah.

Zodiac makeup entry

Watching: American Dad

I entered a contest on Gaia in a makeup guild I joined recently. The contest was to put on makeup that portrays our zodiac sign. Here's my half ass entry (there are 9 prizes, only 8 entries including mine and it ends this month).

Art = Love

Watching: American Dad

I just HAD to come and blog about this right now. First of all, yesterday I was asking people in a Gaia art forum yesterday if they knew any artists who could draw Stryker for me. One had asked for a picture of her, I told her it was in my profile. I came back online today to find an GLORIOUS picture of ME riding Stryker! That's so cool! I've never had anyone draw ME me, only my avatar!!! The artists on Gaia are so amazing. Here is it:

And THEN, the same day (today) Krys spent hours creating a Sim version of me on her Sims2. And it looks FANTASTIC. The boobs are of course not my size, but Sims2 limits the options you have for body types:

Check that shit out, I have an Igor Spectre shirt on! And the decor of the room is pretty cool! I was completely overjoyed today. Wonderful surprises! SQUEEE!!!

OH! AND I got my Mighty Wallet yesterday...

and my shipment of makeup from Coastal Scents came in. I got quite a few sample sizes for less than $1.00 each (and it looks like quite a bit for a sample), some lip gloss, the shadow pencil I wanted that they were out of last time I ordered (it's white and black) and two gel liners (which I'm hoping work the way I want them to). Wow what a great Wednesday.

Make up

Listening to: Tik-takking of keyboards around me (at work)

Here's my Sugarpill makeup:


I used all the colors I bought (Stella, Hysteria, Passion Plum) including the sample (Junebug) for the inner corners.

This one is some purples I already had but the lash line is done in Passion Plum. Ignore my lazy lid. That thing makes it so hard to take nice pictures!

Gifts for me :D

WATCHING: Saturday Night Live

Alright so here's an update on some gifts I got myself. For some reason I've been super excited about makeup lately. I don't even wear it often. So I'll introduce my order from Sugarpill (sugarpillshop.com) that came in the other day. I will use their website photos because I don't have a very good camera.

This is Poison Plum. A pressed eyeshadow that has a little shimmer in it. $12

This is Stella. A loose powder eyeshadow that is, at its base black, but has every color in glitter that you can think of. It's like a sparkly rainbow on a black background. $12

This is Hysteric. It's a loose purple eyeshadow that has a lot of glitter in it as well. Pretty much all products from Sugarpill have glitter or a light shimmer to it. $12

I also got a sample size of this loose eyeshadow called Junebug. I haven't tried any of these yet, but I will try them soon.

Here is a necklace I bought from Etsy. It was listed as a Guardian Angel necklace. It is essentially a house key with some intricate wire wound wings behind it.

I also got myself along with Stuart a membership to a new local gym called Anytime Fitness. It's a year membership so... kinda stuck now. I figure Stuart and I aren't going to move out of here anytime soon despite how much I want to and this gym is so close and it's 24hrs which is great for me because I'd rather go workout after work rather than before (and I don't usually get off work until after 9pm).

Another gift for Stuart is clothes. I planned to give him like $100 giftcard to somewhere, but I think it's going to be less since the gym membership wasn't actually planned into my gifts for him. He has 4 gifts now.

I'm also in the process of sending out holiday cards to friends, mostly Gaia friends. :D

Oh, and before I end this, I'll share a few photos from a fun-filled day at Vince's in Ontario to celebrate their 65th anniversary. I went with Erin and we had a blast. I got a pinup calendar, delicious food (of course), saw a spaghetti eating contest, got my hair done rockabilly style and got a photo taken with Erin (who also got her hair done and bought a hair clip).
