I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! As for me, it was me and the husby's first Christmas as a married couple. It was definitely a moment to cherish. We opened gifts on Christmas morning and I was so excited for him to open his gift! I was able to snag a huge box from work, so I basically wrapped his gifts within other gifts. Hehe! He had the "WTF?" look each time he opened a gift and then found another gift in it. But he loved his gifts, and that's what mattered anyways. As for me, he brought down a huge box and it was my turn. I ripped the paper and found a Coach box. Right away, "Awww, you better not have just used the box to wrap my present!" But then, when I saw the white dust bag, I immediately ran over and tackled him with hugs and kisses. Then he told me to open the dust bag, and there it was! The chocolate brown Madison Coach bag! It was like the heaven's trumpet sounded, "AWWWW!" LOL! I amazed! I told the husby it was too expensive, but he told me not to worry at all. I LOOOVVEEE IT! He also snagged a NARS lipgloss for me and the UD Velvet Rope eyeliner set. YAYEE!!!
Then afterwards, we headed over to the parentals for some good family time! It was nice to spend time with our familia. We ate, we laugh, we drank... it was purely lovely! AH!! And more gifts... might I add, I was "nice" this year! PUAHAH! Eh, it would take forever to write who gave what, but they all know who they are. THANK YOU AGAIN for the gifts below, if you're reading, I LOOVVEEE YOU GGUUYYSS!
Here are some photos too! Of course, we had to take those "prom-like" photos! PUAHAHAH! OH GAH! Don't mind the middle picture. LOL! The fam alway tease Patrick and say he resembles Manny Pacquiao, puahah I don't see it! But then, when Patricia's man was in the photo, one auntie said "PACQUIAO vs. HATTON" (That's the next fight that should be coming!). PUAHAH! The guys are crazy!
Okay, as for post Christmas, courtesy of the gift of a Macy's gift card, I was able to snag two things. The 217 brush which I've been lemming and the MAC Penultimate liner. Has anyone tried this liner? Thoughts? Better than fluidline?? Let me know! Thanks, dear!

Enough about haulage, let's talk about brush cleaning. It's very important to keep your brushes sanita
ry. You don't want that bacteria and gunk building up. Sooo, I just have to say that my sis-in-law, Patricia is one smart cookie! She recommended the Loen Cornell brush cleaner, so I snagged it while I bought Christmas ornaments a few weeks ago. I finally put that bad boy to use last night. It was loovveeellly!! It cleaned my brushes soooo fast! What I did was put my Clinique brush cleaner a little above the first line, then filled it up with water to the second line. Then swivel, swivel! Then removed the brushes and run it under warm water. Thanks, Trish! I totally recommend it! You can buy this at your local craftstore, I bought mine at Michaels. It's only 5-6 bucks, I believe.Okay, that's all for now. Have a lovely day!
Well I hope that everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. I'm sad to see this 4 day weekend come to an end. BLEGH! Back to work tomorrow, WOMP WOMP WOMP! Oh well, gotta make that money. My Thanksgiving was lovely! It was sooo good to be around family, friends, tons of food, and wine! MMmM! As for Black Friday, me and the husby decided to take advantage of the good deals. We started shopping around 9am and we didn't get home till 3:30ish? GAH! Our itinerary:
- NEX (Navy Exchange)
- Best Buy
- Lowes
- Home Depot x3 (the husby was looking for this doorbuster tool set, but they were sold out everywhere! so yes, we went to THREE Home Depots.... fun! NOT REALLY!)
- Lunch @ El Pollo Loco (WOO! This is the first one in VA BEACH!) MMM!
- Target
- Mall
- Then, Gordon Biersch at night to catch up with everyone in town.
HAUL BOX!So! I was able to get some Christmas shopping done, but I wasn't able to resist some good deals. GAH! It's the junkie in me! BUT! I got a bonus at work so I deserve some goodies! Right? Ookay so my sis in law, Patricia, raved about Tea Tree Lavender Mint Shampoo/Conditioner. Soooo, while I was at the NEX, I had to check it out. Dang it, Trish! PUHAHA! Oh well, I LOVE IT! It definitely has that cooling/soothing feeling and it smells soo good and it just helps you wind down. I know the husby is freaking out a a bit cause I have way too many s/c in the bathroom. When he takes a shower, I can hear all the s/c's falling on the floor when he reaches for one. PUAHAH! EEKS!
Oookay, call me crazy but I wasn't too satisfied with my DiorShow Mascara. The last time I was at Sephora, I got Smokey Lash as a deluxe sample. Then, I noticed myself reaching for Smokey Lash over DiorShow. So at Sephora, I returned my DiorShow and purchased Smokey Lash instead. THEN! Since Sephora sent me a coupon via email, I had to use it! $15 off your purchase over $35. Soooo, I took advantage and purchased a NARS Luminizer. Now, here's where I'm bummed. I swatched, and I found the one I liked, well a couple. =). So the testers at Sephora have their little placeholder with the names of testers, well some dumb broad must have tested and didn't put it back in the right place. When I opened the package at home, it was the wrong color!!! GAH! I tried it, it was alright, but I prefer the one I wanted. Soooo, note to self: Look at the bottom of the product for the name, not the placeholder tester. Stupid me...
As for Saturday, me and the husby were complete bums! We just wanted to stay home. He wasn't feeling that great anyway. So, we loafed all day, and hung out in sweats and tees. It was sooo nice just to relax. We have been sooo busy running a muck the days before. I also wrapped presents, take a looky. I loooovvveee wrapping presents! It puts me in a good mood.
Oh yeah! One more thing! Look at what my friend Kim got me! I love her! PUAHAHA! But it definitely pays to have friends in the biz! She knows how much of a feen I am for hair products, so she calms my cravings.
Reason why I'm showing you this is because CIBU has their holiday sets available online on their website. AND!! Tomorrow is CYBER MONDAY!! YouTube Video PROMO
