just side note..... I just wanna say that I hate it when people have something negative to say about positive things that people love, about other people's passion.... I say, 'who cares?!?!' though... you gotta do what makes you happy... this is what makes me happy... so why don't we all just live & let live... we all have our own prerogative... I don't say shit about what you do with your life, your money.... so respect what I do with mine.... capisce?!?

FROM CHINA WITH LOVE

my sister from China, who by the way lost access to her blogspot account, which we both cried about for a whole month, sent me some goods from ova there... Juicy Couture bags & other designer handbags, cute summer dresses-slash-skirts & Maxi dresses, accessories & Roxy flip flops... stuff that I was gonna try & sell on eBay... with all those stuff are some accessories she included just for me... just wanted to share them to you guys....

and the accessories in these mannequins... sorry! I'm getting tired  of taking individual pictures, so I just grabbed it from these pictures for now...

hope you liked them... more of these posts to come!!

LOOT: TOOLS

did you know that 'loot' spelled backwards is 'tool'?? & did you know that words that are spelled the same when spelled backwards are called 'PALINDROMES'??? hahaha... connection please!?!?! hahaha... I know I'm a dork!!

hmmm... I just had an idea, I should do a segment called "DID YOU KNOW?"... that would be fun!! LOL

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I'm bored at home & doesn't have much money to spend, what do I do? I go out & hit the drugstores, buy some more makeup shit when I should just spend the little money I got on a set of handcuffs (or even better a tranquilizer).... so when I get the itch to buy stuff I can just cuff my self to a post & swallow the key... LOL...

so yeee, I did my rounds at Target & Wal-Mart this time and here are the stuff that I got... thank G, I didn't really see a lotta stuff...

StudioTools CONTOUR BRUSH & ANGLED LINER BRUSH.. I love this line of brushes from Target, they're cheap yet quality brushes... both of these brushes are probably only less than 5 bucks...

Sonia Kashuk's BLENDING SPONGE & BENT LINER BRUSH

I got this coz I heard it makes precise line on the lash line... okay, I'm lyin!! I got it coz it looks cool!! I mean a bent brush?! hell yeah!! the question is, will I be able to work this brush?? hahaha... I guess we'll see...

most of you know that I already have the Beauty Blender sponges from Sephora from a while back... I've been using it with liquid foundations & I haven't had any problems with it, in fact, I love it! the only thing that irritates me is the cleaning part, now as most of you Revlon-ColorStay-wearers know, that particular foundation really "colorstays", yes even on the sponge... so I decided I would use the more expensive blender sponge for foundations that don't stick & buy a dupe for the ones that gets the sponge discolored... this one is like $10-20 cheaper than the sponge from Sephora...

I also got the Dr. Bronner's PURE-CASTILLE SOAP coz I am running low on my blendercleanser... I heard this is a good cleanser not only for the sponge but for brushes as well... it is also a 18-in-1 cleanser... I have yet to figure out the other 17 purposes of this cleanser but I'm pretty sure I'll figure it out eventually...

since I needed a good sunblock for the summer time, I got the Aveeno SUNBLOCK LOTION... SPF 55 should be purrdy good...

and finally the Revlon CONTOUR BRUSH, which I got from Wal-Mart... this probably cost me less than 3 bucks... the essence of BEAUTY POWDER BRUSH was from CVS... I bought this a few days earlier, it went on sale for less than $5 [I think] so I grabbed it to add to my cheek contour brush collection...

and that's it for this loot folks!! 'til next beezehhs!!
