and now....my beauty haul!!!!

perfumes, eye palettes, sets, eyebrow stuff, and other make-up.

they were having a sale last friday on off saks 5th avenue. 25% off everything. that's a good deal, considering you will be paid 1/4 less of the original price. so i bought a betsey johnson scarf (beige color...but i didn't take pic of it, promise, its beautiful) and two perfumes....burberry brit and bvlgari. after my family left jersey gardens mall i ate lunch at our house (mostly leftovers from last night's thanksgiving dinner), and then rest for a lil while, and then i drove straight to short hills mall. that mall is my absolute fave....it has everything that i want. i'm so thankful that i only live like 10 minute drive away from that mall. but during that day, it was so hard to find a parking space. i ended up parking at the rooftop and taking the elevator to the mall. well, not really a hassle for me since i haven't been to the gym for a long time. i went straight to a freestanding MAC store and purchased the Curiositease collection sets: warm pigment set that comes with 5 pigments in tiny vials, and the soft sparkle eye pencil set that comes with 5 colorful eye pencils with sparkles. along with that, i purchased the plushlash mascara, coz i need a mascara. then i headed to sephora and got myself some brow stuff, such as benefit high brow and speed brow (brow gel), also from benefit. also got a tarte lipsheer, its like a tinted lipbalm and i think this is perfect for everyday use. since i'm a beauty insider member, i reached the $100 beauty mark and i get like a free stuff from them, and i chose the full size bare minerals blush in true. then i walked around the mall, looking at those luxury car displays....i really love the audi TT in bright red. then i went to nordstrom MAC counter and i saw chris, the MA who has been helping me there since summer. it feels so nice there coz there's this bright red carpet that separates the beauty department from the shoe department. i purchased the royal assets cool eye palette....which i think is really gorgeous and worth the $36, and a paint pot in bare study. then after that, i went home with a big smile on my face.

here are the pics:

fashion haul.....great designer deals!!!

i love shopping! i love shopping together with getting a good bargain!

first of all, i was looking for that perfect boot. for now, i want something brown, flat, all leather, ankle-knee-high boot. i went to aldo shoes and found this lovely boot, it has wedged heels, but i can manage that. too bad there's no pair available in my size. i'm like, a 7 or maybe 7.5, but this guy gave me this pair and said "how bout if you try 6?" helloo?!!!! i just walked out empty-handed. i was so disappointed.

next stop was kenneth cole. i was expecting that its gonna be expensive and i'm gonna spend a lot of money on this one but heck i still went inside. i found this nice brown ankle-height boot and tried it on, and it was perfect! i checked the price, from $150 it was slashed to $99. because of the black friday morning sale, i get an extra 30% off, so i just paid $70 for that pair. amazing. here's the picture...and promise, you'll fall in love.


the boots were kinda hard to walk on coz leather is kinda stiff....but once its well-worn, i consider it to be the most comfortable pair of nice boots ever.

next is my trench coat that i got from bebe. it retails for $130 and i got it 50% off, so i only paid $65. its olive green color and its a flared trench coat, so despite the deadly drab color, it still looks girly, and this thing matches my boots.



and good thing i live in new jersey....no tax on shoes and clothing!!! i'm so proud to be a jersey girl and i will always be a jersey girl!!!

Black Friday Bonanza!

so what are my plans?

i heard my parents are going to jersey gardens, so i'll tag along. they open as early as 3am, and they have lots of good deals. i'm planning to get myself a pair of knee-high boots coz i've been seeing a lot of people in campus wearing them in different shades and styles. also, i'm gonna have my yearbook picture taken so maybe i'll buy a nice top for that, and maybe i'll stop by to buy sweaters. i know this is kinda private but i'll go to victoria's secret to buy myself a nice bra, but i have a $10off coupon. i wanna avail that fashion tote bag with goodies inside that they give out every black friday.
after jersey gardens, i'm gonna drive myself to short hills mall for my make-up stuff. I NEED A NEW MASCARA! its been a staple to me. you guys have to change your mascara every 3 months don't you know that? i'm eyeing on this new MAC plushlash. still the best for me would be diorshow mascara because it gives me those full lashes without clumping and i think i get my money's worth. i'm also gonna get some curiositease pigments and soft sparkle sets and also the royal assets cool eyes palette. man, after i've been through with tons of school work, i'm gonna reward myself....spoil myself.
i need to go to sleep now to catch those early bird specials.
