Good News! I'm going to have another sister-in-law! WOO! My brother proposed to my good friend, Kim. Kim and I have been good friends since high school, puahaha so I never imagined my bro with one of my friends. PUAHA! It's all good though, they're both extremely happy and I'm happy to see them HAPPY! They're perfect for each other and I wish them the very best. Now onto the wedding planning... WOO! I can't wait to help! So I'll be heading to Nova this Friday to celebrate. Too bad I won't be able to drink (damn antibiotics.. ) .. It'll still be fun... I'm sooo craving some Georgetown Cupcakes ("mmMmMm niimmm nimm" - have you guys seen Role Models? Remember, chicken fingers? mmmnnnhhhmm nim nim" LOL!) Okay nevermind...
I felt much better on Saturday and I actually went with my mom to run errands. It was good to have that mother-daughter time. We went to Target and I saw that Beauty Blending Sponge by Sonia, I was going to pay for it, but mother insisted. Then, my mom needed a new brush and China Glaze polishes were buy 2 get 1, and mom insisted again. Man, Mom knows best! LOL! We need to spend more quality time often.. PUAHAHA!
On Sunday, I felt 100x times better and so I went out to shop for my lil sis-in-law's gift. Her 9th birthday is coming up and I had to get everything to mail to Cali. After getting all her stuff, I managed to stop by Sephora to use my 15% coupon. I had to take advantage of it! How often does Sephora give coupons out? Since I sold my lovely painpots to the lovely DSK, Stephanie, I've been eyeing Benefit creaseless shadows. Plus, Megan, Haulinbroad, doesn't help! She keeps telling me that they are soo much better than paintpots! PUAHA! So I swatched and I wasn't in love with a lot of them, but I found two that I liked, which is all I need. There's no need to get the whole collection. I was going to settle for one, then I found this set and I was amazzeed!
Benefit's Girl's Night In includes: a brush, Birthday Suite Creaseless Cream Shadow, Skinny Jeans Creaseless Cream Shadow, Lady's Choice Lipstick, Magnets, and the cosmetic bag.
All that for $38 bucks! But since I had the coupon, it was only $32? or $33! Wee! Not bad at all considering that each creaseless cream shadow is $19 bucks each!
I loooovvee these shadows. And I'm seriously going to just stick to these, uhh well I'm eyeing ONE more, which is Strut! After that, I won't all crazy in getting all of them like I did with paint pots (sigh, I neglected them). I'm sooo in love with these shadows/base that I even did a EOTD! (Eye of the Day, My first one, it's a neutral one)

AND! In the pic above, I'm wearing the black heart necklace from DSK, Stephanie!! Go check her out on her jewelry blog! She's simply amazing! Which leads me to this.... She spoiled me when I bought two necklaces! One black hearted and one Light Amethyst heart.
OooOH man, let's not mail chocolate shall we? LOL! My mailman likes to shove everything in my mailbox and it was probably hot outside. Anyway, thank you for being so thoughtful, Steph! More detailed photos on my necklaces will be coming soon!
Ookay this blog is uber long! So let's end our little journey here. Take care loves!

I bought the same Benefit set, plus Strut. My Sephora was having a Benefit event, if I bought $50 worth of stuff I received 3 products & shower cap with a tote. I ended up using my coupon. It was so worth it.
I bought the SK blending sponge last Friday. Haven't tried it yet. Have you?
I ended up using the Sephora 15% off coupon too. I've been wanting the GHD flat iron for the longest and I was like if I don't get it now I'll have to wait till like November to get another 15% off coupon.
Great haul! I like that neutral eye.
