Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!



I hope everyone has a safe, fun, love-filled, tummy-satisfying day!

After today, only 29 more days until Christmas! And then the New Year!

On a side note, is anyone going to be partaking in the Black Friday sales?

Enabled

The title says it all...
I have succumbed to, I have been enabled by the wonderful, yet wallet destroying enabler that is the internet during holiday season.
All the sales, discounts, and holiday specials...they're just so appealing o.o;

My first haul of the season was from the Sephora Friends&Family sale that went on a few weeks ago...

Ahh...yes, the glorious Sephora box...

Care to take a looksie? :)



My goodies, samples and all...


Lancome High Resolution Collaser-5X for my momma


Too Faced Shadow Insurance
I've never had an eye primer before, but based off of all the reviews I've read, Too Faced Shadow Insurance is better for those with dry lids (although, I would consider my lids to be normal...). And, I was kind of leaning more toward the Shadow Insurance as opposed to Urban Decay Primer Potion just because I didn't want to be hassled by the awkward/inconvenient shape of the bottle.

These next two products are items I've been eying for a while because Ms. Mona not only recommended it, but she also did a great review on the products.


Shiseido Hydro-Power Eye Shadow in H9 or Glistening Sand.
This (in the pot) looks slightly paler and more gold in real life.


Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Birthday Suit


I have yet to use either of the Shiseido and Benefit cream shadows, but when I do, I'll put up another post about them~~

I think I'll be off to bed now (it's nearly dawn here!)...I wish I slept at a "normal" time so that I waking up wouldn't be so dreadful, but what can I say...I'm a total night person--much more productive when it's night time.

In case I don't make a separate post for Thanksgiving...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! May everyone be surrounded by good company and good food! :)

(P.S. Did you notice that starting from the Too Faced Shadow Insurance, there's two, then three, then four pictures on each product?)

Procrastination

Hello, Blogger-world! It's been a long while since my last post...
***
We've hit November! Heck, we're even halfway through it! I'm still super busy, but I've been wanting to put up a post, so here I am (& I'm procrastinating on the pile of things to do right beside me--o.o)~

School has been pretty hectic these days; there's a bunch of things I'm helping out with/volunteering for. Luckily, they usually involve crafting or organizing--two things I really enjoy doing. I'm also debating whether or not I should participate in a holiday fair/sale/boutique my school holds annually where both commercial and non-commercial (as in students, staff, etc.) vendors set up booths and sell their goodies whether it be handmade (this is where I would be) or not. A lot of the items sold are one a kind, quirky items great as stocking stuffers or as holiday gifts. I wasn't a vendor last year, but it seemed like it would be a lot of fun (& hard work)...Oh, the dilemmas...

Fall & winter chilliness is finally starting to set in here which is a nice change from the kind of bipolar weather of a few weeks past~
As much as I'm grateful/happy that the weather is getting chillier, I really dislike freezing hands and feet that accompany the cold weather, *but* I love love love the cozy-wrapped-in-a-fuzzy-robe feeling, the mugs of hot chocolate and tea, and the general buzz and excitement for the upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving & Christmas--woot, woot!!). Totally outweighs the cold hands and feet! Hahaha...

I have a bunch of posts I want to do and hopefully I'll be able to get them put together & post them up in the near future...

I hope everyone is doing well these days~
:)
