V-Day (OOTD + FOTD)

Hello lovelies!

Hope you all had a great Valentines' or SAD (singles' awareness) day.

Quick post about my FOTD and OOTD for the night~

Oh, guess I could post about what we did :P

- His sis was proposed to today x3 so she called and they talked for awhile.

- I got out of bed around 2pm.

- Went to lunch at Anderson's Bakery. Not my fav place to eat but they have awesome desserts. We didn't end up getting desserts (go figure) since it was about 3:30pm :P

- Walked to Blue Bee.. he tried on some jeans and shirts.. left empty handed.

- Home.. chilled.. got ready..

- Went to Epiphany for dinner.. reservation at 6:15.. food was underwhelming for the price (set menu, set price per person). Bf agreed about the underwhelming part.

- Home. OOTD and FOTD pics.

- Blogging.

Overall good day. Glad I got to spend it with my hunnie bunnie sugar lumps x3

haha, you should see the face he gives me when I ramble on with the pet names

Anyway..

Tried using the Kate Deep Trap palette from SongLing but it ended up being OTT shimmery and would not hold its pigmentation (maybe I need to try a different base? I was using a MAC paintpot)..

So I added some Stila, NYX and MAC shadows. Used a Sephora brand eyeliner, seems to hold up but I haven't been wearing it for long. No mascara. Oh and I highlighted with a Maybelline eyeshadow. Whew! So many brands :P

Soo.. this is.. pinky/purple.. with some gold.

Had a mix of MAC Dubonnet and Freckletone on my lips.. made a kind of reddish pink, it was nice :) I had put on Dubonnet first then thought it was too much with the eyes. Of course by the time I took this, the lipstick had worn off. Whooops. You get the idea though.

The flash totally negated my eyeshadow. Oh well.

Nine West, from Nordstrom's Rack in Brea, CA (2008).

Finally got to wear them! x3

Leather jacket from Madison Bleu in Tustin, CA.

Gift from the bf last year fall 2008 x3

generic black stockings.

Dress from Ted Baker at the South Coast Plaza.

Gift from the bf in winter 2007 x3

See ladies? I am proof that padded bras are miracles x3



Outfit inspiration. Will talk about it in an upcoming scheduled post (2/18)

FOTD

Wheeee! So, I couldn't stand logging onto my page and seeing that horribly mismatched foundation pic.. SO.. yes. You guys get a scheduled post--NOW! :P

So.... well, as we were about to leave, I scrubbed it off my face and went with my concealer+powder duo and put on some eyeshadow and lipstick :) sooo I decided to take a pic of my face.

This is my FACE that I wore to the bf's bday dinner.. just the two of us.. drove 30 min down to Oxnard to eat at BJ's Brewery.. one of his fav places in the WORLD.. he is totally obsessed with the avocado egg rolls and the oreo pizookie.

Too lazy to color correct.. so.. these may be too dark.. too bright.. just deal with it :) haha.

Used the Lancome palette described in THIS post. I took these pics after we got home.. so.. the color faded a bit, but not too much. Forgot to use a base again.. I need to get on that D: gah! Anyway, you'll be able to see better color rep from later pics.

Oh, and I forgot to use mascara or curl my lashes. Need to get on that too! Gargh!

Pic when I got home.. reapplied lipstick to show you the color.

Recently got a YSL lippie (gasp!) from ANGIE!! x3

in "Peach Passion"

Pic in the car on the way there..

You can see the awesome green color!! Woot :) and more of the gold (from Stila charmed palette -- mentioned in this post)

And since I did that outfit post.. here's an OOTD!

sweater dress from the bf's sister..

dark skinny jeans (OK for bottom-heavy shapes.. as long as they're dark!)

belt from random store in Tustin/Irvine

ankle boots from.. Mervyn's (store is closed)

MotoJewelry earrings :P (post!)

And now a huge spam of pics of the bf and me.. just because.. it was his birthday night! :)

Before heading out..

I always have trouble getting him to have natural smiles in pics.. seriously it takes me 10 pics to get 1 good one.. hahahaa. So, this is usually his "smile".. awkward.. he's gonna be annoyed with me if he sees this pic up :P but I liked how I looked so..

Him giving me more trouble.. he likes not to smile.

As you can see here.. hahaha.

A couple good pics... he makes me happy :)

FOTD?!

Well, sort of :P I used the Lancome palette that I posted about a little while ago. Man, for being a photographer, I really suck at taking pictures of my EOTD's. Anyway, enough of you girls asked for a FOTD/EOTD.. so.. here ya go! :P

My eyes also decided to fold in and give me a sort of double lid. But hey, you can kind of see the blue/green on my lower lid! :P

You can't really see any of the colors.. so.. I don't think I'm going to bother to describe my application. Hmm, I think this is one of the reasons why I want to get a new point and shoot, hahaha. Mine's kindaaaa old.

I did use mascara (for once)! Quite obvious, sorry about the black specks on my eyelids, I forgot to apply with a post-it :(

Lashes, lashes, more lashes. I may actually do a post about them later, if anyone's interested. As for now, I'm tired and too lazy to look up what I used :P but I know I *did* get it from Katie (xiaokai-bbyxkt) if anyone wants to look back at that post (where I got that huuuuuuge love pack from her). I was going to take pictures for comparison but I was already running late(ish).

Ah, but hey! Lookie, double lid! And I didn't use a base (forgot) sooo.. you can also see the creasing--this was pretty soon after application, too. Damn having oily lids.

Aaaand.. now, for the rest of my face! Plus the bf's face :)

Used

- Sonia Kashuk "Flamingo" blush -- LOOOOVE!

- Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc (pink) for highlight - LOOOOVE!

- MAC Harmony for contour - LOOOOVE!

- (I forgot a lippie! So sue me..)

- MAC studio sculpt concealer

- Castledew Watershot foundation (gasp!!) - the judges are still out

* which I'm afraid, may be a liiiiittle too light for me.. you can't really tell in pictures, but.. I don't know. It definitely looked a little bit too light.. but that may have been light fall-off. Who knows.

Got all jazzed up.. to go get pho with a middle school friend and his girlfriend. Ah, it was a fun double date.. and pho is delicioussss in the middle of all this cold and rain! NOODLE CITY, if any of you are in Santa Barbara :) off Fairview, on Hollister.

Man, I am on a roll with this blogging thing! ;)

Love you gals! Talk soon~
