New home! Sasa Haul, FOTD, Q&A

Hello everyone, I have finally decided to move to Blogger!  I have been contemplating moving my host from wordpress to blogger for some time now, but have always been putting it off because of the sheer amount of work that I had to do to move it!  Finally I decided to just do it this weekend...yay!  Wordpress is seriously very limiting, not only does it NOT allow me to put any javascript on my blog, it is also really annoying when I have to leave comments on other people's blogger blogs and I have to input all of this information just because I am on wordpress...it really sucks!!!


So please update your links and bookmarks  :)  Also, please follow me! 

I'm still going to keep the old wordpress blog, and all of my archived posts will remain at that address...

Ok now for my first blogger post haha.  
This weekend I received my tiny little haul from Sasa...




I finally got the Dariya hair sheets!! It is super cute, I like to wear it around for fun haha.  Also got the Koji eyelash curler in #73 to try out.  So far so good! It fits my eyes really really well and gets to the very root of my lashes, which no other curler has been able to do so far...including both the Shu and Shiseido ones.  I really like this!

Did a FOTD using some MAC eyeshadows that I have neglected for so long...





What I used:

Eyes:
- Shiseido brow powder duo

LOVE this lipstick!


I took these pictures inside the boyfriend's new apartment :)




Blech, I felt very puffy and bloated that day lol. 

I'm wearing OPI's I'm India-Mood for Love on my nails, such a bright pretty hot pink color that is perfect for warm weather!

I'm going to answer some recent questions that I received :)

Q: Your eye makeup looks really good. I couldn’t really see in the pic, but what color is th MUFE aqua eyes? (referring to this post) - Carol L.
A: I used MUFE Aqua eyes in 2L, a dark shimmery brown color.

Q: Is it possible for you to do a tutorial on this - lyyoi
A: Of course! Perhaps I will whip up a video tutorial for this :)

Q: i was wondering what you thought of NARS e/s as far as blend-ability. i have tons of MAC and most likely have dupes Corudro e/s but this particular duo from NARs has been enticing me. ive have 2 e/s duo from NARS that i bought years ago and found them extremely hard to blend. since, then i havent bought any or touched NARS e/s…perhaps, they changed the formulation? i was thinking of giving it another chance but was wondering what you thought of them. i know they are super pigmented but what about the blend-ability? - autumnmornings
A:  Hmmm I would have to say that not all NARS eyeshadows are equal, and some have very silky textures with a smooth finish that I find very very similar to MAC Veluxe Pearl or Frost eyeshadows, so they have excellent blendability.  Some NARS eyeshadows however have a less silky texture and are more shimmery rather than frosty, and those are a bit harder to blend.  I would say that the Cordura duo actually falls into the 2nd category.  I haven't had a lot of trouble with blending NARS shadows so I think it is not a big problem for me.  I actually don't have any dupes for these colors in Cordura, but I think if you already have MAC dupes for these, you can totally skip them! :)

Q: do u use any blush on your face? because your cheeks is pink and glow! - nling*star
A: Yes! I love blush and I *must* wear it everyday! haha.  These days all I am wearing is NARS Angelika blush...but after my obsession with this color cools down I will go back to my other blushes and show them some love...:D

-----------
By the way, thank you so much for all of your nice comments and words of congratulations for my boyfriend's move!! I'm so super excited that he's going to be around all the time, he might even make some guest appearances on the blog! haha we will see.  Next Tuesday is his birthday, and I am planning to surprise him at his apartment after he comes home from work!  The problem is I don't have keys to his place...so I'm going to have to bother his apartmentmate to let me in hahaha...hope it all works out.  :P

Yay new home!! :D I love your FOTD & the nails! I have Koji's Soft Curve curler & love that one. I think I have really small/flat eyes though.

And um... I'm not exactly sure which blog widget you're talking about...? You mean the one that shows your blogroll on your page?? Or your followers box? Or the one shows them on your blogger dashboard?
