Christmas/general vacation goodies!

My EOTD's have sucked bawls lately so I'll do a "schtuff I gots for xmas" post and "Other goodies I've snagged" as well.

And see what a happy cat looks like at the end.


For Christmas this year (Christmas gets capitalized right? Do we capitalize Labour Day and such too? I don't know) I got a lot of stuff I really wanted but was too lame to buy myself. I should scrapbook this too. I have so much Christmas paper and no pictures printed to finish them off.



My Mom and Dad got me:

The Legendary Starfy for Nintendo DS. Haven't played yet though, I left my DS at home :(
The Tudors S03. More Jonathan Rhys Meyers!
Corpse Bride ornaments. I almost bought these many times.
Kings & Queens mini shower gels. Nefertiti Honey and Carmilla Cinnamon Orange are the best from the set. Travel size however, the lids do leak. Last time I had these in my carry-on (my first set, not this one) and the orange one spilled all over the inside. Good thing these are in a zip bag!

From my doode:
Conair hair dryer with diffuser (I've been wanting a difuser for SO LONG, and this is exactly the one I was looking for. It has a rim around it to keep my hair in, not just the finger-y bits)
The Sims 3 Collectors Edition with 2GB memory stick! YES! I see everything in grid form now. And think of ways to change my clothing into different patterns and colours. Thanks Sim generator.
1TB Hard drive for macbook for my *cough* borrowed *cough* movies/music/shows and pics. It's for a macbook because my PC crapped out on me and I was using my guys computer instead. (We live together so it's not hassle-y)
Wallace and Gromit A Matter of Loaf and Death movie (loved Curse of the Ware Rabbit!)
Blood Lite book. A bunch of short stories with the supernatural theme.
Another chunk of Lush Coal Face. I think I'm set for the year now :)

From older Bro:
Lush 12 Days of Christmas giftset. This smelled SO FANTASTIC before I even cracked it open. It had a mix of their xmas stuff in it. The only ones I had already was the Candy Cane bubble bar and the Christmas Eve bubbly bar. On boxing day I grabbed more Cinders bath bombs (the best bomb I've smelled yet) and the matching perfume (along with the candy fluff perfume, can't say no to that ever)
Picture yoinked from Lush. Inside the box has like 300 packing foamies in it and is too hard to repack twice in one week.



From lil bro:
Mac Do-the-Trick Buff and Line brush set. It had mini brushes 168SE, 187SE, 209SE, 219SE and 252SE. I've been wanting a skunk brush for so long and with the rest of the brushes, this set looked like it was the one I'd get the most use out of.
The Bay beauty VIP cards. $10 off $50 once a month for a year on cosmetics and fragrances. I don't like that they start with December. Most people will get these as xmas gifts leaving them with less than a week to use one! I'm too broke to use it this month anyway :)





And for the RANDOM STUFF MINDY HAD TO BUY SECTION!:
HP laptop to play my new Sims game. Okay so this was a little excessive. My PC died and I can't stand the macbook (but am missing the auto spell check right now) and I was at Best Buy. I was going to get a new computer eventually, just didn't know I'd get it the day after Christmas.
This lil guy was $120 off and wasn't that pricey to begin with so I had to get it!
I've already lost many hours to the Sims this week.
EXCELLENT purchase :D

And I was at Winners again and saw an Ecotools brush set for $19. YOINK. The eyeshadow brush in the set is AWESOME. It holds the shadow and it doesn't get lost in the bristles because they are so packed together. The blush brush is nice too. I'll use it for my cheek highlighters. Eyeliner brush good too. My other one is thisclose to being useless now. Pic has new MAC brushes in it as well. I'm not used to having this many!



AND, other than copious amounts of sale holiday chocolate, I went back to the store to grab some Milani glosses. I didn't have to pay the extra 7% PST being in Alberta so I had to get them. Yup. Just HAD to.
A little disappointed that I couldn't really see a colour difference on my lips. I may have to see in other light when I get home and can play around.



I apologize now for spelling errors. I was good at not making them in school, but chat has FUCKED that up royally. And I don't have that handy dandy auto spell check however, that got annoying whenever I spelled "colour" and "eyeshadow".

And now, for the promised happy kitteh face

Catch-up Saturday's Look GOLD

This one didn't turn out as great as I wanted.
The shade of gold wasn't quite what I was wanting. I was inspired by the gold eye look on The Gloss Goss blog.
I think I used Stardust in Ribbons & Bows but it was too dark for what I wanted to I went over it in a gold shade from Meow (I have so many I can't remember the exact one now :( but it wasn't right either. I used Stardust Equinox on the crease and tried to foil TSS Zelda's Revenge as the eyeliner. I should have used Meow's Coffin eyeliner. Ya just can't lose with that one!
It came out all wrong but whatevs! It's just makeup and if people on the street didn't like it too bad they don't have to looks at me :D (that "s" at the end of look was a typo but it's totally something I'd say so it STAYS!) hah!
Back to crazy town for me. Not the crappy band.

Posting an oldish look with Meow Cosmetics

Here's a look I did a few weeks ago with Meow Cosmetics. I ran out of things to google so 3rd post of the day!

My boyfriend (really hate that word, sounds like jr high.) likes neutrals, so he usually pretty much doesn't like any of my makeup looks lol. But this one he actually liked.

I used:
Friday 13 Skeptic - main lid colour
Friday 13 Supernatural - crease colour (I think, I should have written it down somewhere)
Zombies Skelecat - hilight
Dance of Death Coffin - eyeliner

Coffin is the best mineral eyeliner I've found so far. It's so smooth and you just need a little. It's going to take me a long time to go through the pot but I bought a second one anyway for backup :D

Skeptic was a bit tricky to work with, if you accidently buff it, the pretty pinky shimmer goes away so you have to pat some more on.

I noticed the colours online aren't totally matchy with what you actually get which is why it's important to read the descriptions as well and try samples first so you're not too upset if it's not what you are expecting.
Accident looks lightish online but it's actually quite dark with red shimmer in it. They've even added the extra "Wetlines-RED!" to the description.
Same with Obelisk in the Egyptian Treasures line. It looks like an odd brownish colour, but it actually is a green colour like the description says. Computer screens are rarely 100% for colour matching which is why I love looking for swatches so much. Even when you get a sample bag of something, it may look "meh" in the bag but don't give up on it yet. Actually try it out on the back of your hand. The extra shimmers and whatever else may have been added don't show up in the baggy very well but will show up on your hand (Like I said with Obelisk, it looked quite uninteresting in the bag until I swatched it, then promptly got a full size!)

ummmm that is all for today. bye bye now.
