Update

Heyo, 

Usually a more substantial blog post than this goes up on Saturdays. Unfortunately I've spilled water over my laptop and it has stopped detecting WIFI, among other things. Who's the queen of computer disasters? I am. (You'll know this is true if you know me real life.) 

Suffice it to say, there may not be posts this week. Typing furtively on my work computer isn't something I want to make common practice. Lol. Thanks for hanging in there in the meantime.

The Autumn Tag - a chatty post or ALL THE MUSICS


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Though many people enjoy Summer and many enjoy Winter (though perhaps, a few less), I have to say that the transition months are where it's at for me. In particular, I absolutely adore Autumn! For many years, Autumn meant the beginning of the school year and a new start. Now I focus on the lovely sun bathed days with crisp breezes and clear skies.  It also means chillier nights and warm snuggles under the blanket. I love the mixture of weather in Autumn so thank you Maddie and Lucy for tagging me in the Autumn Tag.

Goodbye Summer! Ft. MAC Trace Gold


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Well I think we can officially say that Summer has left us. The clear crisp breeze of fall has arrived and the leaves are starting to change colors. In deference to Summer's departure, I'd like to pay tribute to something I've used almost everyday since I got it mid-summer. That is, MAC's blush in Trace Gold.

The Balm Nude'tude Palette


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

There are a plethora (yes plethora) of neutral palettes out on the market and you can easily find one that suits your coloring and needs. The Balm's nude eyeshadow palette is yet another option! Let's see how well it performs.

What's on your bedside table?


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Usually my bedside table is a mass of disorganized products, books and pieces of clothing strewn haphazardly over the lamp. As you can tell, I love reading so there's usually a pile of books stacked up and I have my Kobo on the go all the time. Of course there's a photo of the bf. There's good reason why I keep some products near my bed, it makes it much easier to reach for just before I go to sleep.

Missha 3D Essence Sheet Mask: Milk and Honey


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Doesn't milk and honey sound like a wonderful combination? When I think of milk and honey I have images of soothing warm concoctions drunk in a cozy bath robe. I can't really enjoy milk so I guess I'll never know how it will taste but I can put it on my face because of this mask (ha.)

Hello Pearl Finishes! Ft Revlon Super Lustrous Pearl Finish Lippies


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I usually gravitate towards the satin/cream finish for lipsticks and sometimes dabble with matte.  A lack of pearl finishes was rectified when there was a $5/ Revlon lipstick sale on at Rexall.

Major Collective Haul - All the Things!


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I have to admit that I've been pretty bad these last couple of weeks. Whenever I do something I regret or feel like I've gone overboard on, I usually 'confess' it to my boyfriend. Thankfully I can transfer some of my guilt and confessing onto you guys! I guess you guys can all enjoy shopping vicariously through me. Let's get on with my hauling confession.

I've expressed my love for Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Pomegranate Punk before so I thought I'd do a little feature on the colors I have in my stash.

I contemplated showing my ugly mug for the post cover photo but decided that my blotchy skin might scare you all away. Instead, I opted for a snap of what I'm using these days. Thanks to Daphne Shen from Peanut Butter and Chocolate Life for tagging me! I enjoy her blog horrendously and you will too so click click!
