A much needed retail therapy session took place this weekend. I did the shopping, Charlotte did the inspection...
More Paul & Joe from Bergdorf, serum, toner, and loose eyeshadow
Laura Mercier Gilded Garden Shimmer bloc, its just so lovely in the pan
close up, a girly girl's delight
Made a pit stop at LUSH for some essentials, body butter and exfolitaors
Then a stop at Sephora for the following...
A new mascara to try, BLINC Kiss Me Mascara. Its very similar to fiberwig
Here's a mascara demo, its sure does lenghtens
Make Up For Ever HD primer in mauve, Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
A cult classic by now, NARS Turkish Delight
Guerlain Terracotta Lip Gloss #52, the perfect bronzy lipgloss
The packaging is so very nice
I bought a tea pot set thinking about drinking a ton of antioxidants
Bendel was doing a 25% off hair accessories, so I ended up with more headbands
Another bow one , its by Basha Shaindy and can be found on BashaShaindy.com
A sparkly bow
While at Bendel's I wandered into the MAC section of the store and found MAC lollipop loving lipstick
A weekend LOTD
its suppose to be a spring-ish
What's on my face... - Aube Green e.s palette- Guerlain lipgloss #52
- Shu Uemura e.s in light green & gold
- BE Primer from Fuz (this is good stuff, will do a more detailed review later)
- Blinc Kiss Me Mascara on top of DiorShow Unlimited = vavavoom lashes!
- MAC Moon River MSF
A closeup of the MSF, its too sheer no?
The Guerlain lipgloss is quite pretty, I layered it on top of MAC Shygirl
Hope you all had a great weekend!XOXO, M
Giant Pocky is so good...but overpriced, imo. It should be like $5-4 a box, hehehe.

ReplyDeletegirl! M!! You are too cute for words! I love all your hauls and that lipstick is wonderful on you I love headbands and I love the ribbon glitter :)
ReplyDeleteMona, I adore everything of your haul! :D
ReplyDeleteSo sad that so many brands aren't available here in Austria! Or should I say, luckily?! Luckily for my purse, hehe...
I'm not a big fan of online shopping for cosmetics, so yeah...
Love the random posting, your dad loves cute things just like you, that's so cute~~
ReplyDeletethank so much for your detailed advice =) i appreciate it. i ended up going to the amore store on union st in flushing adn getting the strawberry gel peel. i was interested in the whitening line but i didn't want ot invest in the full size bottles and they didn't carry smaller trail versions in a set..and i totally agree the magic castle makeup seriously looks like it's been there for 10 years. i saw bb cream there but the girl was busy with another woman. eve beauty has some korean products at the counter as well incl bb craem on roosevelt. oh and i heard about those 10cent wings downtown!! haha how delicious were they? i like my bon chon though =) after reading fuz's blog, i bought the ysl blush too but the ingredient sticker was kind of lopsided so i was kind of worried that it was fake. how is the pj whitening serum working out for ya?
ReplyDeletePoor Lovey
ReplyDeleteYou and this apartment challenge is becoming a challenge! Goodness!
I loved your "home photos" girl, it looks like you had a nice lil visit, and it's cute because even Char gets her own play time and mingle time.
and I can catch the sentimental "home" mona in your photos. Girl that big FAO dog looks like it's attacking YOU! ha ha ha
and headbands... don't even get me started on how I adore your new collection, gorgeous! gorgeous! gorgeous!!!
i gotta get you some katie b mascara...hmmmm
That LM Shimmer Bloc is popping up all over the place. I'm starting to itch for it now...
ReplyDeleteAnd the pictures of all the Asian snacks made my stomach growl. Hehe.
Love the FOTDs. Moon River looks great on you! But you're right, it can easily be duped.
I also love the pics from your old house. That FAO dog looks so huggable!
The LM bloc!!! looks really pretty...!
ReplyDeletemm yummy food!! The msf looks awesome on you...looking very pretty on you!!
Mona!! Your so fine you blow my mind! Haha
ReplyDeleteI love the haulage. Did you get the P&J riche toner? I love that stuff.
*gasp* I am sitting on my hands so i do not buy that YSL blusher too!!
girl, that headband is soooo pretty! where can i get a blingy one like that? i've been looking for one for the longest time, i swear! too bad we don't have HB here in cali...but...there's always shipping! hahaha!
ReplyDeletei love anything disney, too! in fact, i have disney (mickey)themed office supplies here at work that i got from disneyworld, haha.
hope your apt situation gets better soon. don't stress out too much otherwise you'll end up doing more retail therapy. lol.
AHH! You're making me want to go out and get MORE headbands with giant bows on them! Stop that! OMG croxleys ale house! LOL! I use the kiss me mascara, it sorta flakes on me towards the end of the day. go figure. i'm off to get more headbands now!

ReplyDeletei was thinking of trying the eyebrows thread, too after reading from Steph, but still thinking where to get it done...where did you had it done? was she friendly?
i looove ur hauls!!!! especially the YSL blush, so darn cute...sephora still selling it?

ReplyDeletethe more i see it, the more i want that laura mercier shimmer bloc!!!
Retail therapy is the best! When I was younger (early 20s) I was seeing a therapist 2x a week at $30 a co-pay per session. I got sick of her bc she wasn't helping me so I took the $60 a week I was spending on copays and shopped. I'm cured now :)
ReplyDeleteXoXo
i hate apartment hunting/moving.. MAN.. such a headache! especially in such a small town like santa barbara. way overpriced for what you get, UGH. unfortunately i didn't have money to retail therapy myself back into happiness.. so sad.. but you def got some cuuuuuute stuff :D that blush! adorable! and that cat ear pic? hahah! priceless :D
ReplyDeletemmm retail therapy and going back to the parents must have been fun!!! I see you bought a lot of stuff! Where did you get the Kiss Me mascara? I've been searching for a new mascara >_< and awww everyone is getting that shimmer block! *jealous* OMG I love cute hairbands with bows!!!! That one with the huge bow is adorable! <3 Hmm Kind of disappointed with the Moon River MSF luckily I didn't buy it hehe I have a Patrick from FAO!
