the entrance!
me, Iyah and Valeree! waiting for Ria
closer to getting in!
are you starting to see the madness?
super cute balloons! too bad no one in our group got any :(
our group with our guy HK!
I really wanted a balloon! haha all I have are pics of them
Hello DJ! using a MAC at MAC...yes, I'm a dork for saying that :P
Ria and me now waiting in line inside the store! You can see Dave's face reflected in the glass
time to get serious and make our selections using our pink menus that reminded me of sushi order menus :P
swatching and deciding...
couldn't move anywhere so here's what it looked like in front of me! we were packed like sardines
and just as many sardines behind me! and in line to get inside still!
me, Iyah and Ria...they're such pretty girls!
Iyah and Adrian looking pretty happy after purchasing! Hello Kitty ♥
MAC MUAs in their cute Hello Kitty shirts! I love her huge pink bow!
one very happy group of girls, hundreds of dollars later and with drinks!
Afterwards we went to check out Sephora and talk shop...makeup shop, that is. Ria and Dave had to leave to be with their family (*hugs*) so Iyah and Adrian and I went to Guppy's in Cerritos (their first time!). (The free drinks and food at MAC we were able to get were tiny appetizer thingies and plastic cups of pink lemonade and "vodka"...tasted like lemonade to me!).
Iyah and me at Guppy's...we're happy we got our MAC Hello Kitty!!
I told them this was a MUST HAVE! Butter Coconut Brick Toast with fresh strawberries and chocolate drizzled over...mmmm
without flash
My HK haul? Only this!
Lipstick - Cute Ster - Sheer peachy pink with pearl
Lipgloss - Sweet Strawberry - Sheer berry with blue pearl
Funny because they weren't the colors I thought I'd get (Strayin' and Mimmy), but when I swatched, Cute Ster is very sheer and shimmery like a pigmented peach gloss (yes, I'm a gloss girl) and Sweet Strawberry is a juicy pink berry, a bit like NARS All Night Long but more blue pink and not plum.
I told you I wasn't interested in picking up too much from it (still have to wait for a Dazzleglass!)...here's the rest of what I got at MAC.
Fix+
217 Blending Brush (my first MAC brush! and Ria's favorite that she recommended to me)
Lipstick in B Babe (Frost) from the Brunette Blonde Redhead collection (perfect pale creamy pink)

It was such a fun night! I'm so glad I got to go and share the experience with some of my beautiful and sweet blogger girls. ♥I was also happy to meet up with Iyah so I could give her her contest prize...but she one upped me and surprised me with a gift!! Ahhhhh!! How could she do that to me?!
She gave me this The Amoure bag filled with goodies! I couldn't believe it! The Laneige Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel that she recently reviewed and I've seen everyone rave about, and she also picked out some Laneige samples and Darkness false eyelashes!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Iyah...you are a sweet but sneaky girl! I'm so going to get you back when you least expect it! :P
And if that wasn't enough, today I met up with Kon so I could give her her contest prize as well...and she suprised me with this!!
adorable cute box!
hmm what could possibly be inside?
Polvoron! Yummy Filipino candy that she recently blogged about! Delicious!
Didn't these girls know they had already won and didn't need to bribe me with goodies?! Ahhh such cute and sweet girls!! I am so glad I got to meet them both! They are both sweethearts and I'm so glad I got to give them their contest prizes in person.
Thank you so much, Iyah and Kon!! ♥♥
