de-stressing once again....

after months of contemplating whether to get samples or not from AWG, i finally decided to give it a GO!

i've been seeing beautiful swatches from Annielise and wanted to get samples, but i have too much makeup already...not to mention tons of mmu e/s samples. but still, i find their e/s very nice...something that can be used for bridal makeup. so last month, i finally ordered from Franchesca. she has been so nice to wait til i finalize my order. i put some items on my cart but didn't check out, she then contacted me thru email to ask if she will give it a go but i asked her if it can wait until my (actually, my mom's) card's cut off date. and she patiently waited.

i got my orders in no time, and she even threw in some sample foundations.

thanks Franchesca!

and last week was such a HELL week in the office (it still is, actually)...so i decided to take a walk and go to the mall.

and you know how i am when i get all stressed...

my first stop: MAC


My MAC Dame Edna loots: Highlight powder in What a Dame, Lipglass in Hot Frost and Lipstick in Gladiola


i love the packaging!

next stop: The Face Shop

highlighter/blush swatch

last stop: The Body Shop

i also bought some stuff from Mossimo...but i still didn't buy that white jacket i've been eyeing for weeks now! arrrrghhh...the cheapskate in me wants to get that darn jacket only if it's on sale (since it's summer already, hehehe).

so there goes my de-stressing last week. i had a huge smile on my face after shopping...but immediately frowned right after seeing what's left in my wallet.

LOL!
