LUSHiousness

Two prelaunch parties in one week makes for one of the best weeks EVAAR! Well that and some other factors just to name a few: got to witness the unveiling of the new holiday lines for MAC and LUSH [The LUSH on Walnut St. was the first store in America to unveil the new line!], got my Coastal Scents Concealer palette and Camo Quad in the mail [will be doing a review on that soon!], had three lovely days off from the stressors of work, and was a brave girl and drove to the city and parallel parked for the first time since my driving test which was like 6 years ago! [gosh I feel like an old head..]


That my friends is a picture of a tall glass of HAPPY BEER. hahah I was having such a good time when I was hanging out with my girls at a bar that even my beer was smiling :p

I always considered myself a lucky person. Do you believe that people make their own luck? I'm really starting to believe that now...

Ok. on to the good part. Here are some pix from the LUSH party. Again the lovely Miss Eileen accompanied me!
Crowded, just like I expected it to be!


Looking at those huge wheels of soap makes me want to take 5 showers a day.. I wonder how much one wheel costs? And if anyone ever bought a straight up wheel of soap?.. That's the famous Karma soap pictured above.


Spice Curls looks so delectable..


They also served cookies!


The Unveiling of the new line!


My pictures are fackin blurry! Probably cuz I was being shoved around..


What I ended up taking home with me that night:
-Charity Pot hand & body cream
-Lemony Flutter cuticle butter
-Buffy body butter
-Aqua Mirabilis body butter
-sample of Love Lettuce face mask
-Karma Komba solid shampoo
-Godiva solid shampoo
-Strawberry Feels Forever massage bar
-Sexy Boy massage bar

I didn't take any pictures of my massage bars. I was so excited to use them and now they look like blobs.
My Goodies, my goodies, my goodies, not my goodies!


Random guy with a bag that had Mario in his Tanooki suit gets a thumbs up from the gamer girls!


These are the free containers you get when you buy 2 of one type. Clockwise: massage bar tin, body butter tin, solid shampoo tin. These can be pretty tricky when you're trying to pry them open so here's a little tip. After you're done using your bar but before you close the lid, take a piece of ribbon [I use a skinny one] and lay it on top of the rim. When you close the lid, both ends of the ribbon should be sticking out. Then you can just yank the lid open by tugging on one end of the ribbon while holding onto the other end!



Oh Lemony Flutter, I think I'm addicted to you. So yummy and I use it for everything. Cuticle cream, on my elbows, knees, heals, and dry spots, taming my baby hairs, and lip balm. Totally worth it.


Did a good deed and bought Charity Pot for the first time! I picked the one that donated every penny I payed to help save the orangutans who are endangered from deforestation due to the palm oil industry... SAVE THE ORANGUTANS!

Free gift from LUSH

What was in the gift box: Li'l Lush Pud Bath Bomb and Snowcake Soap
The descriptions on the tag-
Snowcake Soap: smells like delicious almond icing off your Christmas cake, feels like almond mousse on your skin
Li'l Lush Pud Bath Bomb: Looks like a pudding, smells like a pudding, fizzes like a spicy Bath Bomb
Too bad I don't have a nice bath I could use those Bath Bombs in.. I do have the tub in my shower, but if any of you share a shower with your brother, then you would know that if I took a bath in that tub, I'd most likely come out dirtier.. ew. Maybe I will just cut my bath bomb into smaller pieces and use them to soak my feet in for pedicures :p

p.s. If you have an account that was created before September 9, 2009, you can get free shipping on your order of $65 or more PROMO CODE: LUSHFRIEND4LIFE

I'm sure I will be doing reviews of these products individually. LUSH is just the best way to get clean!

Free Shipping @ MAC

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that you can get free shipping on all purchases from now thru Oct. 24th at MAC online! [you don't need a promo code] Take advantage of it! :D

MAC Pre Launch Party!

So I went to my first Prelaunch party for MAC's new holiday line with Miss Eileen tonight in Philthydelphia! Had such a blast and thank goodness we got there early because the line went arouuuund the blooock. NO lie. Any whooo I apologize, for I wasn't able to take very many pictures or get any good swatches for you guys! My digicam battery was running low [forgot to charge it] aand it was JAMPACKED. i felt like sardines in a can. [Click the pix to enlarge]

That picture shows just how narrow the store was and how many people they tried to pack in there. lol
Us on the train ride to Philly. I wore minimal makeup hoping that they would be able to do a look on me but the mua were so busy!
As expected MAC had a bunch of very nice looking males serving cocktails and canapes. Everything was super yummy. Lots of eye candy.. i'm talking about the products!! haha yeah ok. It was so packed I could hardly breathe! BlAh. oh well.

yummy Smirnoff Pomegranate!With our pomegranite ginger cocktailsWith the models. I felt sorry for the girl model because she told me that her dress was uncomfortable. [looks like it too..] she showed me her arms were turning red from the pieces of her dress irritating it. She was super nice and the male model was too. Eileen and I look like shrimps next to them.. I wish I was a little bit taller.. i wish i was a baller.. hahaha ok i'll stop.
p.s. her hair is going to take a million rinse and repeats to get all that crap out!

Any ways here are my crappy pictures from tonight. Again I apologize! I really wish I could've taken my time and got better ones, but like I said before, I could hardly move. The store is really narrow so it wasn't the best place for a party..the shadow, glosses, and blush/bronzer/shimmer holiday palettes
The following pix are of my goodies that I bought. Mineralize e/s in Devil-May-Care [left] and Blue Sorcery [right]
That's what it looks like dry. I didn't get a chance to swatch them wet, but I'll try to do a look with them tomorrow :D


And here's the thing of bubbles that I got as a freebie:
I cannot wait to try out my new e/s! Also, coming up soon [this thursday actually] I'm going to my first Prelaunch party at LUSH! The store in Philly is the first in America to unveil their new holiday collection!! I was told to expect a bag of goodies too! NICE. I will update on that and hopefully take better quality pix for you guys!!

Urban Decay Cosmetics 24/7 Pencil Set

[Stereophonic]

[Hi-Fi]

I want! Loooove UD's liners! and that glitter liner looks like so much fun. The liners are like butter and I don't know about everyone else, but they never smear or smudge for me.. Right now i'm itching to just purchase both of these! They're a pretty good price for all the stuff you get [$29 bucks i think? at ulta]


Stereophonic set includes: Zero, Underground, Gunmetal and ULTA exclusive shade Crash and Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Midnight Cowboy.

Hi-Fi set includes: Flipside, 1999, Zero, NEW shade Mildew and Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Distortion.

Bringing sexy back ;p

Yes, yes I know.. Where the frick have I been? My last post was in May!? Needless to say I have been quite busy. Work, work,work.. you know the deal. I felt like I lived in the hospital.. not good. But thankfully now I'm not required to come in to work as often as I did before. I've missed blogging and all my blogger friends! Everyone's probably forgotten all about Mae, but it's my bad.

So just a quick recap on all that's been happening in my life since May lol:

- Went on a little mini vacay with my babay to the pretty city of Boston. Our favorite part had to be the Sam Adams brewery! Free beer and a complementary drinking glass :D

[Harvard which looked like Hogwarts]

- Right after Boston, went to the Poconos and NYC with the fam bam for our family vacation. After Hawaii last summer, my rents wanted to just go on a little trip this time and save up for a bigger vacation next summer. Our next destination? ITALY! Sooo stoked!
- got a wii :p
- board games all the way! I'm such a dork, but they're so much fun! Played Settlers of Catan [which I am surprisingly adroit at..], Agricola, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, UNO [lol], Wits and Wagers, Apples to Apples and a bunch more. We even had a tally sheet of whoever won whichever game and at the winner gets to be treated out to dinner of her choosing. Miss Eileen and I won [tied!] and -ahem- are still waiting for our sushi dinner boys!
- picnics at the park with chums
- All hussied up for Miss Eileen's Bday bash:
- shopping.
- I am now a proud Godmother to my Jennybean's baby girl : Alessandra [aka Lessa] <3
[at the baby shower, you can't even notice her belly!]

- Met Priscilla Ahn with Miss Julia ;)

Hmm, I know I did more than that, but my brain hurts trying to think back. I've got a lot planned ahead and I really am going to force myself to write as often as I can. Sometimes I feel like I'm regressing and can't speak proper English anymore since I haven't written anything remotely intelligent. Ok, maybe i'm being a little harsh on myself but really, I used to be pretty good at writing essays and the such in high school...

BOGO at Ulta!

Heads up all you beautiful people! Starting Sunday September 27th, through October 3rd, Ulta is having a BOGO sale on L'Oreal, Maybelline, Max Factor & NYX! It only works for their mascaras, eye liners, and shadows though. Gotta love getting 2 fors! So go out tomorrow and stock up - which is precisely what I plan on doing :p

Later lovelies!

New MACbook?!

It's so tiny!
Sike! hahah I just put the apple sticker that came with my Ipod Touch on my Coastal Scents 88Palette lol. For those of you who still haven't gotten this palette, this is a pic of it next to my DS Lite for size comparison:


yeah.. well that was a random post. hahah
