This pic was taken a few nights ago when it was hot and the AC wasn’t doing a damn thing. My strapless bra was cutting off my circulation so I decided to take it off and do something silly with it. Like my new look? LOL… This is the stuff I do in my sister’s room to keep her laughing ’til she can’t breathe anymore. That’s my job Plus my brain was fried that I tend to do stupid things like this. It’s just to show you the kind of humor I have… hehe. I need a new bra, I think I’m a cup bigger now… woohoo!!! That explains the backache I’ve been getting

Anyhow, I got a message from a few fellow MUA’ers wanting to swap with me. I kinda hesitated at first thinking about Christiana’s experience being swaplifted. But then I gave in and got back to them. I have alot of stuff to swap and being that they’re kinda new and in good condition, I hate the thought of throwing it out, so why not swap, ya know? I want to swap a few of my NYX Round l/s, even though they don’t look too nice on me, I don’t want to part with it yet… LOL. I like looking over at my collection, it’s my new love. So anyway, as a noob, I sent out my swap earlier today, so I hope to get theirs in return. I swapped my shadow brush that I rarely use for a Cover Girl eyeshadow, and H&M eyeshadow palette and Milani blush for eyeliner, eyeshadow and foundation. I hope it works out.

This weekend I’ll be visiting Jersey to help out my bf around the house. With the “she-devil” not being around anymore, he needs my help. So it’s gonna be a very productive weekend. I hope you guys stay cool, don’t forget your sunscreen and have a great weekend. What will you be doing this weekend?

I hope everyone’s enjoying their summer so far. It’s been too hot to be playing with makeup so I stay home and shop online… hehe. Today was pretty nice though, especially at home so I had the chance to take some pictures of the NYX Lipsticks I got a few weeks ago, along with NYX Nailpolish in Lingerie and Tulip (I’ll take pix of those the next time I get a mani/pedi). I got these from Nonpareil Boutique of course :)

L to R: Thalia, Mars, Circe, Frosted Beige

My personal favorite out of the bunch is Heather, Mars, Perfect and Thalia. Circe looked too washed out on me, as if I was wearing a concealer. Sierra and Aphrodite didn’t compliment my skintone at all. I find that Frosted Beige and Darling too frosty for my taste, but I’ll definitely wear it over something that’s matte for added shimmer. I’ll take some pix with these lippies on as soon as my lips are not so chapped. I haven’t been wearing my chapstick lately… so spank me!

Btw, It’s my Mom’s birthday today, so my sis and I will be taking her to CCO out in Long Island tomorrow for some fun time shopping

I know it’s a bit late to announce but I was away and didn’t know about this until today. I go through my blogroll and read about your Cherry Culture hauls and the NYX Round Lippies you bought from them. I thought you might wanna know, I was reading Katrina’s blog and she mentioned that Cherry Culture had raised the prices on their NYX Round Lipstick from $0.99 to $2.00!!! Not sure why they would raise their prices, maybe to cover the cost of gas during shipment to their warehouse or maybe make more profit, who knows. I never liked ordering from them anyway, they take too long to ship and now they raised the prices on their Round Lippies…. two thumbs down!!!!

In case you guys didn’t know, there’s another e-store where you can buy NYX stuff @ Nonpareil Boutique. I placed an order twice from them so far and they shipped it the same day I ordered. And they have GREAT customer service. Once I had emailed them about a particular lipstick I was looking for and they responded within 48 hours. How cool is that? They’re very good people, so I highly recommend them. I can’t stress that enough.

So yeah… they’re having a sale that ends July 8th (again, sorry for the late announcement) Everything on their store is 20% off and use the code July4th during checkout. Go to Nonpareil Boutique you won’t be disappointed.

Update: I’m about to place an order when I noticed that some of the popular shades are out of stock… LOL

I just got back from my mini vacation with my bf and kiddies a few hours ago. We had a blast and a major tan… LOL. My bf is trying to catch up to me in the tanning department, so he’s got alot of catching up to do  I LOVE my tan, unfortunately I didn’t spend enough time to do my back so I’ll focus on that the next time I go to the beach. And I made a mistake of wearing my shades while I was oudoors so you’ll see a tanline around my eye area, very minor though, but still looks kinda funny… lol.

We spent our 4th of July week at Seaside Heights, NJ. Did you know that New Jersey-ians call there beach the shore, not the beach? Don’t say you never learned anything from my site :) We spent most of our time around the Casino Piers, where they have lots of vendors, arcades, foods and an amusment park (just like any other beaches, huh? Oh, my bad… the SHORE) We only spent about 2 hours at the beach the whole time we were there. Other times, we played mini golf, go karts, took the kids to the water park while we spent hours in the Lazy River, the bf and I tanned while the kids were in the pool, we rented a bus/bike thingamajig for an hour (a great cardio for me… haha), watched the fireworks at the beach. Thanks to my bf for planning the trip. We definitely need to do this again! Pictures will be posted soon in my flickr account, it will be updated on the right side of my site ——>
