CCO haul

I went to Costco the other day and they were currently selling Mac eyeshadows!!!!! I had to do a double take! I mean I was shocked! They only had acouple colors: ogre, newly minted, and some others but I didn’t get any. Costco being wholesale of course had a discount of $11.50 which is not bad compared to Mac’s retail price of $14.50. BUT! It is nothing compared to the Cosmetic Company Outlet! I went today and they sell ‘em at 10 a pop! I could hardly contain myself but I did :]. If you don’t know what these stores are they basically buy discontinued products or left over products from department store brands and sell them for cheaper! (they are still in perfect condition) They have brands from DKNY, Prescriptives, Bobbi Brown, Este Lauder, and of course MAC. I could care less about those other brands my eyes were glued.
What I Got:
Spaced Out Blush (Neo Sci-Fi)-I’ve been looking for this! It has the most gorgeous finish! When I go back I will have to buy like 2 backups! Cosmic e/s[veluxe pearl] (Moonbathe Collection), Evening Aura[veluxe pearl] (Neo Sci-fi) pics soon.
Utterly Frivolous Lipstick [Luster] (Fafi collection)
I wish I had more money…wow my wallet is probably hurting right now. None the less, great deals!
What I plan to get next:
Spring Bean Dazzleglass, Liquidlast liner, Vanilla pigment, Charged Water, Studio Sculpt Foundation….so much stuff!

AAHHH!!

i'm so sorry i've been so busy! it's yet another MCAS week. This time for math...and i feel quite unprepared but so far i feel as though i did well. i'm drowning stress from homwork, essays, and projects. And just when i think the drama's over. There's more. And it's not the same ones lingering...they are completely out of the blue. This is so.....high school....i hate high school. i have to stay up late tonight to finish a lab report...oy... My goal this weekend is to get myself together no more hanging out, shopping, laying around watching tv. it's for my own well being!! i have not neglected blogging, i swear. Although i have neglected yoga which is bad and i can already feel the effects of it on my emotions and energy. (i'm suprised i haven't been breaking out!) My friend is also getting the fourth quarter stress outs and her hair is falling out as a result. this is mean but i laughed [hopefully she doesn't read this, lol]. i hope you guys have a great rest of the week. Talk to you very soon!

in the meantime enjoy this video. it's so adorable! be sure to subcribe to them for weekly asian food how-to's from CookingWithDog: http://www.youtube.com/user/cookingwithdog

oy. (update)

my friends and i fooling around on the trampoline. i stepped on her butt lol
i've been really busy lately with schoolwork and drama kind of making things worse. i'm so exhausted and it's only 3 days into the week after April's Spring Break which went by like hot cakes. Lately i've been working out & yoga-ing a lot to de-stress which has been quite effective. And this weather is, ugh, hot hot hot! So naturally i've been dreading running, luckily i have a trampoline so at around 7 p.m. when it's cooler, i'll start jumping. My neighbors probably think i'm a little odd jumping on the trampoline all alone at around dinner time but my brother won't do it with me so, ya know. gotta gain some muscles! i do about 14 minutes a day which is equivalent to running for 20 minutes! And i feel the difference! it's good on the joints, i don't have to work as hard, and it's deffinetly way more effective. For the past 3 months i've been running 3 days a week and it is nothing compared to what the trampoline has done. amazing! Also, i've been using Benefiber with my water and it deffinatly has curbed my cravings. And oh! i was watching my daily Oprah and there's a new brain surgery for weight loss! Suprised? but it makes sense since craving are a metal drive. Appearently this lady had lipo, gastric bypass, excorised, dieted, and nothing worked until this! She even said that she now makes better healthier decisions when she eats. Amazing what technology can do. Right now i'm focusing on having some sleek toned Michelle Obama arms.

more posts to come! they're currently in draft form so they'll appear before this.
Have a great weekend!

the STROKES are BACK!!!

I don't know about you but this is pretty exciting news esp. since they are one of my favourite bands of all time aka LEGENDS. over the years there were rumors spreading: "oh next year they'll come out with a new album!" then the next year, and the next would come by and nothing. BUT. Finally, my prayers were answered and they're officially back! they describe thier upcomming album's sound 'a mixture of 70's rock and "music from the future"'. & appearently Parrell Williams is interested in producing it. i'm looking forward to it!
One of my Favourite Music Videos Ever. EVER.
Jules was sporting a pretty niffy jacket i must say. & even when drowning in blacked waters they still do it sexy.
they also did a remake in the recent years with a outer space take on the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBgVtT3qA2M
'Juice Box' [warning: it is sexual.] but i think it's funny as hell. i love a band that can make fun of themselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pch6jSp7VPk
Albert Hammond Jr. (the guitarist and occasional lead vocal) has since been working on his own solo work which has been quite impressive- the album 'Yours to Keep' is out and i am definatley buying it! he also has a similar voice to Casablancas- that raspy classic rock type voice with a passion behind it- which i believe is to die for. do check him out!
this is "Call an Ambulance"
