Massive Beauty Haul with Fred Meyer

I am not that cosmetic junkie, but when I got to shop a lot of beauty products, my face became THAT emoji with heart-shaped eyes!

Hi LOVEs!

I am super excited to do a beauty haul today partnering with Fred Meyer and to finally get to share my awesome new goodies that I got my hands on several weeks back from the store!

It was really hard for me to pick what I wanted splurge on within the budget because there were TONS of wonderful cosmetics that were carried at Fred Meyer! It took me ages to narrow them down even though I wanted to get them all whatever in my shopping cart! Yet, I was so thrilled and have been in love with these new 12 beauty products that I could bring home with me!!

Real Techniques Retractable Kabuki Blush

 Physicians Formula Nude Wear™Touch of Glow Stick & Organic Wear® 100% Natural Origin All-in-1 Beauty Balm Cream
L'Oreal paris Voluminous Miis Manga Mascara
ARDELL Double Up Lashes 203
Milani Color Statement Lipstick - Black Cherry, Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow - 30 Bella Diamond & Eyeshadow Lip Primer 
NYX Lip Primer - Nude
COVERGIRL Outlast Longwear Lipstick - Red Rogue 925 & Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss - Seared Bronze 85 
Essie Luxeffect - a but above 

I've been testing out all of them, and I pretty much love them all, except Ardell lashes. Unfortunately they couldn't fit my eyes quite well. I got itched and felt very uncomfortable once they are applied because I personally prefer false eyelashes with clear strips, but these ones are not. My eyes are very rounded so the lashes should be very elastic. But these lashes feature twice the amount lashes for a more dramatic look so you can totally glam your eyes up!!

Milani is my new favorite cosmetic line. Have you guys tried them out already? I looooove their lipstick and eyeshadow! Like mentioned above, mine is Black Cherry & 30 Bella Diamond. I am all about rocking dark lips during fall and winter, and this lipstick's color is just on point! I have a few lipsticks with my bag all the time, and this one has become one of my go-to favorites! Lately, I  am so into a light eye make up with a bold lip color. Black Cherry is perfect for such make up! Speaking of the eyeshadow, it's super versatile and amazing because of its multi-dimensional effect with shimmer and iridescent metallic finishes!! I use it for my base color and high lighter! I think I am pretty convinced that I wanna try all Milani cosmetic line!! Loving the lovely gold package, too!

To my surprise, it is my first time using Physicians Formula products. Oh Em Gee. I wonder now that everyone loves their products! The Glow Stick & BB Cream are NEW products and have been my BFF! They are soooo good, especially when I don't have much time to apply full make up. The power of their coverage is just mind-blowing! It blends in flawlessly. I am obsessed with how The Glow Stick can be used for anything - Concealer, foundation, highlighter, or a touch up tool. Isn't the package so adorable? So cute with the gold pink bow cap!

Getting this Real Techniques Kabuki Blush makes me so happy! I've been using the same blush for a very long time because I hadn't been able to encounter the better one. However, RT blush finally won! Really love the mobile size that can fit in my make up purse. You know I hate carrying those long bushes that takes up too much space! It's soft and dense enough for a perfect application which helps finish my face so flawless! I mainly use it for a highlighter on my cheeks. I love it more every time I use it!

I barely use a lip primer before. However, NYX  Lip Primer is everything. It helps enhance the color and have the color last longer, and I have been impressed by its feature since the day one! I can't finish my make up without it!

Last but not least, I am officially crazy for COVERGIRL nail polishes! And I am so glad that I chose this Seared Bronze color! When it comes to coloring my nails on my own, I don't really like a single color - always mixing up at least two colors for a fun looking. But their nail polish tones play so well that I don't need another color to add together. I've gotten a lot of compliments so far, and because it contains micro bronze, yellow-gold, and copper fleck, it gives a perfect micro-glitter shimmer finishing touch. I just love how my nails sparkle when the light hits. It's a sexy, edgy fall nail polish color that can help you elevate your whole look for sure!!!

Thank you Fred Meyer for partnering with me to let me help find out all these goodies!

What's your new favorite finds recently? Comment below so that I can check them out! ;)

Happy Thursday my angels! ♥

Charming Charlie Grand Opening Event!!!

-------------------------------------------------

Today's post is all about a new store named Charming Charlie which opened in Redmond, WA!!!
 I had never heard of this brand until I received an invitation for the Grand Opening event, which is really too bad for me! Now that I have been there, I really adore Charming Charlie now!!!
The new store had its launch last weekend (Oct 15th) at the Redmond Town Center. The exterior is quite lovely with its bright pink door and wide glazed windows -- as you can see in the first picture. 

Before I start talking about my shopping experience at this shop, allow me to introduce Charming Charlie a bit...

"Charming Charlie made its debut in 2004 with one very colorful and clear mission: help very woman, everywhere, find her fabulous. We're crazy for color. We live for sparkle. We thrive on making a statement. Why? Because we know accessories have the power to transform both your outfit and your outlook.  Jewelry, handbags, eyewear, scarves, shoes, and more all grouped together in your favorite colors -- thousands of accessories in one store! Plus friendly Charmeres ready to help you unleash your one-of-a-kind style -- we call it finidhing your fabulous. From the tip of your tiara to the point of your pumps, Charming Charlie wants to bring our your most fabulous, fierece and fun self every single day. " (Cited from www.charmingcharlie.com)

You know how much I love to accessorize, and I really love how all of the accessories and jewelry are displayed throughout their store! I've never seen a store that organized by color the way they do. The layout allows you to mix several pieces together in similar shades. For example, you could layer a few ( or MORE) necklaces in the same colors but in totally different textures and shapes... How fun is that? To a person who loves layering like I do, this store is definitely now on the regular visit list. The sales reps are also very friendly and inviting, and they are all well-dressed with Charming Charlie pieces!!!! I kept asking them the same question: "I love the necklace you are wearing! Where can I get it?" They are like walking mannequins! lol

  I am very fascinated with the store displays as well. The stunning shiny chandeliers, white boxy in-walls with tons of lovely items, European-inspired huge mirrors... I was very satisfied and overjoyed just as I strolled around the store! As you shop, you will surely be inspired thanks to the thousands of accessories! It was so extreme that I had so much trouble deciding what I SHOULD buy! Their well thought out displays give you plenty of awesome tips on how you can mix and put accessories and jewelry together!!!!
Have you ever felt that you were looking for something but could't find that perfect right thing you really wanted?
Well, you can say goodbye to that feeling now! Charming Charlie can solve it right away. Now you can go to their store because CC is where you can find exactly what you are looking for...


Here are the items I bought, and I love every piece so much!
They are offering a Buy One, Get One Free deal, so I took advantage of it to buy the gold necklace and earrings and saved some money! :) 

Did  you like what I got from Charming Charlie???
You can buy some of the items online as well!

SABRINA CHANDELIER EARRINGS

(Available in 5 colors: Black, Dark Blue, Orange, Red, & Wine)

CHAIN & STUD WRAP WATCH

(Available in 3 colors: Black, Light Brown & Light White)

A special thanks to Kimberly for the invitation to have me tour the store!

I wanted to share this little gem of a store in case you hadn't heard of Charming Charlie  and I hope you can be inspired by my shopping experience there! Make sure to check them out online or/and in store if you live near by them! (Here is the direct link to STORE LOCATOR!!)

Have a great one!

Hello New Babies, You guys are KILLER!

 MINT DOUBLE STRAP TREND HEEL & BLACK LACE UP HEELS
(Both are from Windsor. My new favorite online shopping site!)

____________________________________________

 How GORGEOUS are these summer heels, right?! I absolutely adore them so freaking much! I have tended to buy platforms lately because they add some height and they are easier to walk around in. But this  time,  these were just too attractive to pass up...

I am currently obsessed with shoes that feature clear heels and ankle straps, and these mint mid-strap heels are so on trend, plus they have what I love! I've never had any shoes in mint, so why not?! I've worn them a couple of times already, and they are fab (of course!) and are actually quite comfortable!!! I was able to shop with these heels for more than 8 hours! Plus, I can wear them with a casual look all the way to a mid-dressy look. How versatile!!

I also have wanted to get black summer heels, and omg... these lace up heels are RIGHT ON! They are extremely LOVELY, FUN, and TRENDY, aren't they? Oh, and they are such a stand-out piece of any outfit! I really needed some dressy summer heels for special occasions, so I am so glad to have found them at Windsor. If you want to add up something to your look that really makes a statement,  these black lace are definitely the ones!

Best of all, both pairs were actually under $40... Can you believe that?  I just visited their store again and quickly surfed the shoe section. They added a lot more of amazing shoes, boots, sandals -- all under $40!!!!!!!. So please check them out now!

★Windsor Shoes★

I really can't wait to share with you all about how I style them up!!!! :)

P.S. Thank you very much Windsor for making my summer much funner!!!

New H&M Hauls

Hey lovelies!
Can you believe that it's already December? and which means that this year is almost over!!!!! I feel like I still need more a few more months because I actually have a lot of things I want to do within 2012! How about you guys? Are you ready for the new year? :)

So since November is my birthday month, ( yes I became 26! Happy Birthday to me! ) I'd decided to spoil myself quite a lot! hehe yup, I'VE BEEN SHOPPING SO MUCH!!!!!
I am so pleased that there were so many days for SALES in my bd month! Pre-Black Friday sales, Black Friday sales, and Cyber Monday Sales.... How could I not take advantage of these amazing sales, right?
Last year I stayed awake till in the morning just to go shopping on Black Friday. It was totally my first time to shop on Black Friday so I was completely excited about it. However, this year I had to refuse it because I needed to work.
But then, I received an awesome email from H&M, my most favorite brand in the world, before BF and it was regarding Pre-Black Friday Deals. This email was such a big trigger for me to shop at H&M next day!

As you can see through the pictures above, I've obtained greatly wonderful items from them....
 Maison Marin Margiela Collection totally brew me away! It was just so much fun looking at all the incredible stuff. Unfortunately I couldn't buy what I wanted to. Yet I am still happy with what I could get, which is the horse tail necklace. My most favorite items out of my purchase is the Galaxy Print Jacket. I've seen so many ppl wearing Galactic items, mostly leggings and skirts, but I couldn't find the best piece for myself.... and guess what? This jacket was THE LAST ONE in the store. I had such a good luck when I spotted it when I was looking at the Winter Magazine as I was fitting.
The blue shiny knit is totally cool and fabulous, the black statement necklace would be able to add the  bold emotion to any of my outfits, the fur scarf can be a very tasteful item for fall, the jewelries are always necessity items so it never gets enough, and the glitter rounded bag will serve as a playful and eye-catch guy with the all-black-look during Winter.

In addition to those amazing hauls, I've got two pairs of Litas (Lita Claw & Lita Spike) from Jeffery Campbell via Nasty Gal and Solestuck, and a Crystal Collar necklace from Nasty Gal as well, and I am waiting for a camo oversized knitted sweater from a new incredibly inexpensive online store, Sheinside and for other three packages from ASOS.

Well well.... I've shopped enough, haven't I ? lol I must stop shopping or take a break at least for a while.

Hope you guys enjoyed shopping at Black Friday as much as I do!!!
