Sephora Pre-Summer Beauty Goodies

Don't call it a comeback...

Wow, it's been about six months since I'd last blogged. That's half a year! These days I really do feel that time goes by quickly. Luckily it's now June and summer is almost officially here!!

I would apologize for being away for so long, but truthfully...that's just the way it is and has to be. I will say though that I've missed blogging and although I'll probably never be a consistent blogger who posts weekly, bi-weekly, or perhaps not even monthly, I will post whenever I have time. I don't blog for a living and I don't intend to do so. I just want to be able to blog for the sheer pleasure of it.

With that said...it's been almost equally as long since I'd last hauled makeup. *gasp* Right? That's crazy talk! Of course, I have plenty of makeup, even with giving away or tossing out unused or unloved items regularly. Anyway, I felt the need for some retail therapy and feel quite happy with my most recent Sephora haul (part of it acquired during the last VIB sale).

I'm glad I can post a teaser of my goodies with you so that I can finally start using them, keke.

2009 Beauty Favorites

Happy New Year!!

An entire calendar year of blogging has introduced to me to wayyyyyyyy more beauty products than I would have tried or lusted for otherwise! But rather than haul every so-called amazing product out there, I have to admit I'm rather choosy about what I get, and spend a lot of time (too much time), lusting and debating before I even get something! (Impulse shopper I am not!) So here's my list of the favorite products I've encountered in 2009.

SKINCARE

Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration SPF 15
Great moisturizer for spring and summer if you have oily-to-combination skin! It moisturizes without causing your skin to become oily.

Boscia Balancing Tonic
I love this so much that I just bought a full size bottle after using quite a few different toners this year! It's refreshing and smells nice.

Be Dazzling Benefit Cosmetics Holiday Contest on Polyvore

After I saw Mona's dazzling set, I just had to jump onto Polyvore and try playing with it myself. Here's my set for the Benefit Cosmetics Polyvore contest.

The Benefit contest ends tonight! (Midnight, Pacific Standard Time, I believe.) So if you want to enter, better hurry!

I spent way too much time playing with that last night! I'm still new to it but if you're on Polyvore, here's my profile. Are you on Polyvore too? =)

Some Current Favs

Got some things from Sephora a while ago (on my birthday actually) but I'm just now posting them. Nothing fancy or new, but just some things I figure a girl could use to feel somewhat spoiled. =)

oh Sephora...how I love thee...

Vroooommm!! Random Drive By Update!

Ever notice how I can be a bit random sometimes? haha

I got an incredibly generous package from the sweet and thoughtful Kay, it totally made my day! But I'll dedicate a post to it once I have pics ready. For now, if you're really curious, just watch the video on my YouTube or else be patient!

Here are some pics of me wearing Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow in Samba-dy Loves Me. Samba-dy Loves Me is a great shade! I was in a rush so for my eye makeup I only used that along with my MUFE Aqua Eyes in Pearly Brown 2L and of course curled my lashes and added mascara.

Looking Good is the Best Revenge...

Nah not really, I think happiness is...but I thought that was a cute line on the tissue paper I got from my Benefit haul!

a box of goodies in the mail could make any girl happy =)

Why Am I So Vain...

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend in the States and is now enjoying the shorter week because of it! I went shopping with one of my high school best friends, she was visiting and I hadn't seen her in almost 8 years! We went to the *new* Forever21 that used to be a Mervyn's at the mall. It's big! I was hoping to find some dresses but all the Smalls were a bit loose on me. =(

So...I went to a different mall and still didn't find anything! I came across this short sleeve jacket and camera whored in the fitting room...such a vain girl!! But that's how I do, ahahaha.
