Sephora Haul + Discounted Dior Lippies

I took advantage of Sephora's 15% discount and got me my first full size Dior Lippies. If you have not tried their lippies before, you are definitely missing out! I was inspired by mah beauty bloggers Fuz and Bunnie Thanks ladies! Click photos to enlarge Samples on the left, Dior Lippies on the right Boxed Dior Addict High Shine - $26 Dior Addict Lipcolor - $26 Dior Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor - $28 Unboxed Can i say love at first swatch??? My very first Dior Lippie is the mini "Catwalk Mauve" that i got from the Dior Iconic Diva To Go Set I'm totally hooked!!! The only downside is the price. But guess what, now you don't have any excuse not to get them. My new fave online store: Izzy's Perfume & Beauty Shoppe They sell DISCOUNTED high end brand cosmetics like Dior, Chanel, YSL, Guerlain, etc. Why are the prices low? Some of the items they sell are unboxed but BRAND NEW makeup testers like the Dior Lippies that they have. Some are also discontinued items. What's in a makeup tester and why buy them? Click to Enlarge I ordered some Dior Lippies from this site. The prices are like 50% off retail. Comparison Photos (Click to enlarge) Dior Addict High Shine Tester $12.50 I tried putting the retail cap on the tester but it doesn't fit =( Same size, same product, but different packaging *** Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect Tester $14.70 So if you don't really care about the packaging and you wanna save $$$, this site is for you. They also offer free shipping for orders $1oo or more. ***

Thai Massage Anyone?

My bf and i finally went to get Thai massage together. We were supposed to go last Vday but we canceled coz as some of you may know, his car got jacked that day. We went to the closest Thai Massage Spa which is approx less than 10 minutes away w/o traffic: Pho Siam Thai Spa 1525 Pizarro St. Los Angeles, CA 90026 213.484.8484 It's my 2nd time here (1st time was with my girlfriends) and I haven't been to any other Thai Spas so I can't really compare. I had a good experience before that's why i came back. We had the 1 hour Traditional Thai Massage for $40/person + tip. We requested to be put together in the same room so it was like a couples massage. If you haven't tried Thai massage, it's a kind of massage wherein the therapist uses his/her hands, feet, legs, and knees to do massages and yoga-like stretches. Like this... i especially like the back walking technique ;) I prefer the mild to medium massage. I tried the hard massage last time and gosh it hurts. But ofcourse you can alert them if they're doin it too hard. It's our first time gettin a massage together and i've been beggin for him to go with me for the longest time, that's why i'm so psyched that he finally said yes lol. I guess he's a lil bit embarassed since other people are touchin our half naked bods lol! I don't really mind =) So yeah, we plan on doin this again for at least once a month to relieve stress. ***

Mini Haul: Sunglasses + Makeup

Did a little shopping with the bf today. i love Nordie's Rack! Gucci Sunglasses Style: GG2794/S Original Price: $350 Nordie's Rack Price: $89.97 Again, the bF hated the style. I noticed that some things that we ladies find pretty doesn't always seem to be really appealing to men. Same goes with clothing style. We don't usually agree on the outfits i pick that's why most of the time i just get it without askin for his opinion. i don't think i dress that bad. I love fashion but i don't always follow the trend. Maybe men see beauty in a different way. Oh well, another trait of men i can't decipher =( So this leaves me with a question in my head, should i dress for the ladies (since ladies appreciate my style more)? or for my bF? Anywhoo, i also got my bf a Light Blue by D&G Fragrance for Men (not pictured) since his Acqua di Gio cologne is runnin low. My bf is very low maintenance and he doesn't have a vast collection of fragrances unlike yours truly =) Stopped by at MAC to check out new stuff. I haven't visited MAC in long time! I only got 2 lippies and an eyeshadow. How pathetic huh?? lol! And oh! I did get compliments from the MAC MUAs on my periwinkle nails =) On Hold Lipstick - cremesheen, midtone yellow raspberry Lollipop Loving Lipstick - glaze finish, clean midtone coral w/ subtle green w/ gold irridescence White Frost Eyeshadow - vivid bright white with icy shimmer SWATCH me CRAZEE!!! On them lips... I didn't swatch the eyeshadow cuz i'm not sure if I want to keep it since i might have a dupe for it. i hope you enjoyed my haul! Have a Happy Easter!!! easter bunny Pictures, Images and Photos ***
