OVERHAUL

Victor picked up a few things for me over the past couple of days and I thought I'd put some of the things I got all together into one post to show -- what he calls -- an "overhaul". LOL. He's so sweet. Seriously, I've been getting mad at him lately over stupid things and yet he spoils me rotten. [:

We went to Target and I wasn't sure what I wanted. But one of the things I wanted included a new brush holder because the ones I were currently using were cheap pencil holders. One of the pencil holders actually spun, which I like, but I was in desperate need of an upgrade. Haha! I couldn't find anything that was the right size until we walked through the floral/home decor section and saw these glass cups for $3.99.




MAC HAUL

He also got me my long awaited MAC #129 blush brush. He knew I wanted this brush from the getgo. I get all shy around him when it comes to shopping around for make-up but he was the one who walked over to the MAC counter in the first place. LOL. I've been looking for an everyday powder brush and I think I found it. Yaaaay [:

I also got all 3 of the MSF's from the Brunette Blonde Redhead collection. OMFG, I love them. I also picked up MSF Natural in Medium Dark but I honestly think this color is way too dark for me. I never considered myself to be "dark" so when the lady picked it out for me, I just took her word for it. When I tried it the next day and saw myself in the mirror, I thought I looked so tan. LOL. I'm not sure about keeping it, we'll see.



CCO HAUL

We also went to CCO in San Ysidro so he could get me some lippies. As much as I hate that place I was just glad I wasn't going alone because the workers weren't bugging me since Victor was there. He was amazed at seeing how close Mexico was to us. LOL


MACY'S FREE MAKE-UP HAUL

Soooooo, I woke up super early to get ready for the whole free make-up craze that was going on. It was around 8am and I stopped at Target first because I knew Macy's wasn't open yet. Nothing was going on at Target, at least not that I knew of.

I was thinking of going home after but I decided to drive by Macy's just in case. Then I saw about 3 or 4 people in line so I jumped on the bandwagon and lined up. I called Victor to tell him to get ready and meet me at the mall so he can help me pick up some free stuff.

I felt bad for him for going through all the trouble of getting me free stuff that wouldn't even benefit him. I asked him if he wanted the men's shower gel but he said no.

He acted like such a baby though! All I heard from him was "I'm hot, I'm sweaty, I'm hungry, I have to pee." WOW, I can't shop with this fool! Hahahaha jk. I wanted to line up for Bloomingdales & Neiman Marcus but he said no. :[









I came home & showed my mom all the free goodies I got. Now she wants me to wake up early again tomorrow and get her some stuff. Hahaha. I wonder if they haven't sold out yet.

  4. How nice of Victor!! But we always make the bf's sweat over little things... it's the gf thing to do!! LOL!!

    Dang that's a lot of MSFs!! I'm a MEDPLUS in the MSF natural if that helps you?! But you look darker then me so I prob would've said MEDDARK too!

    Score on the freebies! I couldn't make it cuz I had to work. I'm just writing it off already!! LOL!! I know it's free, but the damn Macy's is far away for me, & I'm lazy!! LOL!

  5. great overhaul! hahaha. i like the brush holders, they're cute. and i see you got the creampuff font :) btw i still cant get freakin pse to work so i still cant play with it. do you use the pse or the other one..color excel or something for ur pics more?

    if u can, can u swatch the msf's please? or at least just redhead. and yeah medium dark would be too dark for you i think. its too dark for me (unless i put just a teeny bit), and i think i'm darker than you. i say exchange it for medium plus, or even medium.

    i hope you can still get your momma some thangs! and probably more for yourself =p lol.

  7. hi! it's great to see another san diego resident with a beauty blog. :D cool. i didn't know there was a CCO in san ysidro. although, i haven't been there in such a long time, i should check it out.

    it was fun looking through your "overhaul." (i like that term you coined. :D) especially the mac stuff and the freebies from macy's. my co-workers and i went crazy with that freebie stuff too.

    it was nice stopping by here. take care. i hope you get to visit the other stores too. i think it still goes on for like a few more days. :)

  9. Hi, I just have a quick queston: is it one free item per store (for example, go to Macy's and choose 1 free item from any one brand that's listed), or is it one free item from every brand (ex, one free thing from Lancome, one free thing from Dior, etc...)? I read the thing and I wasn't sure.

  23. Nice BF to buy you your most "wanted" stuff :) That meant he's listening! :)

    And wow..those free stuffs!!!! Enjoy the goodies!

  24. Just stopping by and I saw all your free stuff! Lucky girl! You scored a ton of freebies! They weren't giving out much anymore when I went today so I only got 2. Oh well.

    Your bf is too sweet for getting you all that MAC. My bf always drags me over to the MAC counter but I usually refuse because he spoils me enough as it is. Maybe both our bfs think that if they buy us makeup then they wouldn't have to hear us whine about wanting it so much! Haha. Thanks for sharing!
