Yesterday was not a pleasant day at all. The boyfriend's birthday present was supposed to arrive yesterday via Fedex, and I missed the package so I had to go in person to pick it up. Well long story short I was running late and got lost on my way there, and by the time I found the location they had already closed...argh!! I was so upset and also PMSing that I was screaming and yelling at my boyfriend on the phone even though it really had nothing to do with him...hahah. :P
To cheer myself up I stopped by Sephora since it was really close to the Fedex office. I only picked up one thing, got the Benefit Girls Night In pack~
I've been wanting this for a while!! Finally decided to get it...it was a really good deal, only $38 for tons of stuff!
Full Finish lipstick in Lady's Choice. The color is so pretty, a soft pinky nude color. The texture is really true to its name: FULL finish. It's super creamy and very very opaque, one swipe pretty much completely covers up my natural lipcolor! Definitely the most pigmented lipstick I have. It's a little different for me because I usually go for sheer and glossy lipsticks.
Creaseless Cream shadow in Birthday Suit, very pretty neutral champagne color!
The eyeshadow brush it came with. I think you're supposed to apply the eyeshadows with this, but I prefer to apply cream shadows with my fingers, they blend more easily that way. I'm going to use this as a concealer brush.
Finally, some completely useless magnets...haha why do they even bother to include these?! So pointless.
Some swatches. Sorry for the blurriness!! My camera was having a really hard time focusing on the swatches for some reason.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I ordered some cute hair accessories from the lovely Eki, and I received my package today!
ahh such pretty wrappings.
Also got a big flower hair clip, I love the little pearls inside!
Also got the cute pink flower clip on the bottom, and she threw in an extra flower clip! yay!!
Another extra bow she threw in!! I LOVE this one, the double layers, the heart, everything! I haven't seen these 2 extra designs on her blog yet, so maybe she will be offering them in the future?
Please check out her kawaii hair accessories here, they are just too cute for words.

Finally, I tried out one of the OPI polishes that Angie got me, this one is called Argenteeny Pinkini. Heheh the name is so cute.
Such a soft, feminine pink! Makes me feel very girly :)

You have just reminded me of posting some pics of my nails with my nail polishes that I got recently. :p
It has been ages that I wanted to do so, but well... I'm wearing nail polishes so rarely.
I purchased the same set from Benefit & I love it! It was such a good deal. Pretty nails!

i was eyeing that girls' night in~ hMmmm it's so pretty! nice seeing it swatched, i don't think i imagined it being so pretty hahah. those magnets really are so pointless!! gosh~

oOooo :) i'm so excited! swap! hahahaa. want to chat via email about it? xkhaotik@gmail.com !
Oh man, I HATE when that happens to me too! Sorry you had a bad day, but yay for the new pretties! I keep eyeing that set too lol... might have to cave one of these days. Yay for mail! And wow, that's a gorgeous pink!! I'll have to go hunting for it now! It's like one of my Borghese polishes, but less metallic - so pretty!
Oh my gosh that totally happened to me a few months ago!!!! I placed an order with beauty habit and I was so excited to get it. The first day they tried to deliver it but I was at school and I guess I had to sign for it so they didn't leave it (usually it's just left at the door). I left a note on the door with my signature for the next day. They didn't leave it and said that they would try one more time before sending it back! I was so annoyed because I new I was going to be at school again and I was going to miss it. I mean I am not just sitting at home waiting to sign for packages!! So I drove out to the middle of no where to pick it up and they said it couldn't be retrieved!! So long story short. I had to wait a million years to get my package. haha But I can relate about being so frustrated!
That color lipstick is going to look so awesome on you with your skin tone! It's really pretty. Sorry this comment is a novel!! <3
