goodies from Sophia, Robin Thicke + Alicia Keys

This past week was very busy for me but I enjoyed every single last minute of it. Wednesday, I had already mentally checked out. I was ready for my weekend of fine dining. Thursday I had dinner at Fleur De Lys with 2 of the most amazing friends any spoiled lil bitch like me could ever hope for. Okay, i'm not a spoiled lil biatch, i'm just well taken care of. muahhahahaa. Friday I dined at Pesce. I took a ton of pictures at both restaurants, but I'm going to split them up into separate entries per suggestion from the totally bodacious and brilliant Chau. 

I finally got to pick up my sweet (literally) package of goodies from Sophia!

So cute how she put "theSusyness" the address portion, so so so cute! She's a total sweetie! 

I missed it the first time it was delivered, and the post office near me closes at 5:30pm, which is before I even get home from work! Boo! I had to wait until a saturday to pick it up :[ 

yeah, 4/3 was the original delivery date. I didn't pick it up until 4/10! :[

Before opening the envelope, I noticed this on the flap!!!

I literally giggled like a school girl. You are too sweet and thoughtful Sophia!

O_O What could it all be!?

look at this spread of goodies! it even SMELLED sweet.

k, i'm going apeshit over these pudding marshmallows

chocolate filled Hello Kitty marshmallows! My 19 yr old brother had to jack one. It's okay I was being nice and let him have one. Yup. Just one.

There was lots of grinding, groping, and female screams all around. 

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know that he ended his set by rapping over a Lil Wayne track and crip walked off the stage. I SHIT YOU NOT. I should have recorded it. White boy can MOOOOVE

MeliO snapped a photo of us during the intermission. The freaking couple sitting next to us kept getting up and making us move. It was getting pretty annoying, especially since they kept saying "Excuse me" with tons of attitude. Yeesh, calm down! Anyways

I was like "Mel I look so Chinese!" she goes "uh because you ARE!" ahahhaha

Ms. Keys is so fierce, she came out in a cage.

Miss New Booty. Just kidding

It was a beautiful night. She ended the night with Empire State of Mind (of course) but it brought tears to my eyes. New York means a lot to me. A very good friend of mine moved across the country to live in New York and follow her dreams last summer, so New York City has taken a piece of my heart.

MAC Pearlglides from Art Supplies collection

Hola my subbies! Just popping in for a quickie and then it's back to work. *sigh* i'm a slave to the man, just another cog in the machine. How depressing. Why can't I just be born filthy rich like that cunt Paris Hilton? Then i'd have shitloads of money to just gallivant around looking like a slut. I'd take all that delicious money and go to culinary school for the hell of it and then cook delicious goodies all damned day long in a state of the art kitchen in my hugenormous home. Okay, daydreaming over. I've got to give her props though, she markets herself. What would you guys do with money like Paris Hilton?
So I picked up 2 Pearlglide Intense Eye Liners from MAC's Art Supplies collection. There was NOTHING else in that collection that caught my eye. Everything was very "mehh" to me. I've been wanting a good navy blue liner ever since seeing Holly's Fly-By-Blue tutorial (which you can watch: here ) Disclaimer: I ♥ Holly's tutorials. I am in no way trying to be like her as some people have claimed *rolleyes* Hello, Holly is effing hot and knows how to do makeup, DUH. We are all influenced by other people and what not, geez. Anyways!
The two Pearlgides I got were Petrol Blue (reminded me of Fly By Blue) and Designer Purple. They are $14.50 each.

Pros:

• great color payoff
• colors are vibrant, but not too insanely bright for everyday wear (such as to work!)
• the shimmer isn't crazy noticeable until you're up close

Cons:

• have to sharpen them alot, thus using a lot of product to line just ONE eye..and if you go heavy on eyeliner (like me) you'll through this stuff fast.
• can't use this stuff alone, it smudges all over the place (beware asian lids!). i had to use UDPP (Urban Decay Primer Potion) and then line my eyes with MAC Fluid Line in Blacktrack, then go over it with the Pearlglide liner. 

I don't think i'd repurchase/ buy a back up necessarily.. I like it, but ... Yeah. Don't think i'll be using them on a daily basis.

 I really really really liked this one when I swatched it at the MAC counter. 

I know you can't see the shimmer in these photos, sorry :[ 

However - when I actually lined my eyes with it, it didn't stand out that much. It probably would without using MAC Fluidline first, but it smudged all over my damn eyelids. Perhaps this would work better for those with green eyes?

love love love this Petrol Blue. Look at how dull it is! I didn't resharpen after using it this morning.

a few photos of my eyes today.. not really happy with how they turned out, so not really any of my full face.

BLEH.

P.S. Dining at Fleur De Lys tonight ! I'm soooo stoked because us foodies ♥ Chef Hubert Keller. Then i'm going to Pesce on Friday night. Except lots of food pictures within the next couple of entries. I ♥ French food and seafood so very much! Oh, not to mention i'm seeing Alicia Keys and Robin Thicke on saturday. Jealous?
P.P.S. Mystery box coming soon...to you? Perhaps. Maybe, maybe not...

 

Okay.. P.P.P.S I'm bored right now. 

Had my camera during lunch so yeah. My favorite salad of all time! Smoked trout salad from La Boulange. They have multiple locations in San Francisco but the Hayes Valley one is my favorite :]

what's in my purse?

Yeah, nobody asked me what's in my purse. So? I don't care. I'm bored and felt like blogging. I know I promised a review on some NYX loose pearl shadows for Christine but I didn't bring it with meeee to take photos of. (It's coming, I PROMISE) My camera battery also died. It barely turned on for me to upload these photos. But whatevers. Here's some random crap i'll review for you guys and then a look at my purse.. I once told Tina that I carry a whole mess of crap in my purse. Today it's not as bad but usually I have more shit than this, trust me.
 So the 1st thing.. Aquafina lip balms. I know, you're probably like "What the hell?? They make chapstick!?" But get this shit, Cydia saw Vitamin Water chapsticks! HAHAHAH. Don't laugh but I kind of want the 50 cent one. It smells like grape I bet. 

I freaking love these things!! My favorite is the one in the middle, the original one. It's pretty minty but it leaves my lips really soft without that waxy/greasy feeling you get from Carmex. (I still love Carmex, but it smells. Even the strawberry/cherry/mint ones smell funky) It was $4.99 I think for this whole pack. The other ones work just as well, but i'm not a fan of the scented lip balms. I haven't tried that hydrating lip oil though. I have been using this lip balm religiously for the past week. I still reach for my Burts Bees every now and then. I have multiple lip products at all time in my makeup bag (which i'll save for another entry another day). The tingling sensation from the mint of this lip balm is pretty strong but that sensation doesn't last long. I love how it's rectangular and not round. It doesn't roll around everywhere when I take it out of my makeup bag and set it down. You wouldn't think that would make a difference but for me it does since i'm so clumsy. I tend to knock things down or spill things. Hahahhahaha So yeah, if you're in the market for a new lip balm, give it a chance. If you don't like, don't blame me go blame yourself for listening to me. (I'm in a strange mood at the moment, can you tell?)

Okay so it's been awhile since I purchased the Revlon PhotoReady liquid foundation. I've been using it more often (not every day though, I like to let my skin breathe). I noticed that it sometimes gives me this dewy look so I decided to try a finishing powder in translucent. Since this particular line has been working well for me, I figured why not try their finishing powder? It was also 10% off at Target when I was there a couple weeks back so I grabbed it. I purchased it on a whim without reading any reviews on it, but now that i'm reading up reviews a lot of women seem to not like it. Most reviews say it makes them look like a ghost. I don't have that problem at all! It gives me a matte finish over my liquid foundation. The main thing I hate about this thing is the packaging. It took me forever to open the very first time because I didn't want to mess up my nails. I don't understand why they couldn't put it in a regular ocmpact! The other thing I hate is the stupid brush that comes with it. It is the worst thing on Earth and you can't apply jack shit with it. I just use a fluffy powder brush to buff it on over my foundation and POOF! I'm done! Matte finish! Hurrah! If you don't like it then freaking return it -_-

I was thirsty at the mall and got this Borba Skin Balance Water. They had other flavors: guanabana and pomegranate but lychee appealed to me the most. It was $3.50 for this damn thing and i'm going to admit it, I was a sucker because of the packaging. This stuff is kind of gross. It got BITTER because of the crap in there that's supposed to be good for your skin. I am never purchasing it ever again that's for sure. I don't even want to try the other flavors! O_O

So here is my purse. It's a gianormous Coach bag. I normally don't like Coach but I needed something inexpensive, big, black, and boring for work. It was also 40% off at the Coach outlet so why the hell not? This damn thing is HEAVY too because of all the crap I put in it.

It doesn't snap or zip shut but it does have a middle divider that zips up, 2 pocket holder thingies and a zippered compartment.

my cellphone and keys usually go in those pockets. here you can see my ugly abused outdated blackberry curve 8330 (verizon baby!) I call it ugly because it's pink. I hate the fact that I have a pink cell phone. It was originally gray but I broke it and my insurance gave me a pink replacement -_-

Yup, I carried flip flops with me. Rainbows ♥ I am wearing black pumps so... yeah. I need to give my feet a rest when i'm walking home or on lunch... I also just hate wearing heels to work these days. Actually, I take it back. I actually just hate dressing up for work.

I always always always have my makeup bag. (The purple Betseyville thing) I'll show you what's in my makeup bag in a future entry. I carry TONS of crap. I'm like a damn boyscout. I almost always have water as well. My favorite water is Voss but if it's not available, I opt for smartwater. I love how smooth it is.

and on the side with the zippered compartment, I keep my wallet (Marc Jacobs), huge Ralph Lauren sunglasses, hand lotion, and today I have an umbrella. The weather is bi-polar in San Francisco. It's been going back and forth between gloomy raining and sunny all day today.

Also carried this with me since I needed to do my nails. I just recently bought the Seche clear base coat this past weekend. It was $6.95 at Pure Beauty and ... I don't really like it. It's not that smooth. I still like the Seche Vite top coat though!

Zoya "Ibiza" 

I did a really really bad job on my nails :[ did them at work, woopsie!

I also ate a ton of hot pot this weekend. As a matter of fact, I had it two nights in a row and i'm about to have it again TONIGHT. My friend Ronnie and I don't play around when it comes to fobby Asian things. Okay, we bought too much food but still, I love hot pot anyways!

I slept over at her pad on saturday night and dognapped her roomie's dog, Diego.

He slept with me all night long. Then, he missed me when I was gone. Ronnie said he kept coming in and doing a lap around her room looking around for me. 

I ♥ Diego

Wow...this post sucks really bad. Hahahah too bad.
