I've heard great and bad things about this so I really wanna win to try it for myself. WIsh me luck & good luck to all of you! :D

Today I went to at&t to see if my cell phone is revivable (long story), but turns out I need to buy a new one. UGH. Anyway, at&t is super close to The Body Shop and it was raining really hard, so I decided to stop by just to see what's up (the sale signs were calling my name). There was actually a really good sale there....must be the recession. Anyway, they had a good selection of makeup that was "3 for $10". I was surprised at the stuff they had in this selection. It was nice quality and good colors. So I easily picked three. I ended up getting the Sparkle Eyeliner in 03 (sparkly green), Eye Lustre Pearl shadow in 02 Golden Green, and the Roseflower Blush in 01 pink. I checked out their website and they have this sale online as well, but not everything is there. Swatches and pics below! :)

The Sparkle Eyeliner: The pics do not do it justice. The color is a prettier green and really sparkly! The top swatch is of me just dabbing it with my fingers. I would dab this over eyeshadow for a cute sparkling effect!
The Eye Lustre Pearl shadow: This was kind of a disappointment. The container comes with a lil sponge applicator. The applicator is super soft but who would use that for eyeshadow?! Besides, it didn't grab much color. I ended up using a mac eyeshadow brush and swirled it vigorously and still didn't get much color. Too bad, cause the pearls look so pretty. :( I think I will use this as a highlighter.
The Roseflower Blush: I didn't swatch this yet, because I didn't want to mess up the print. HAHA. BUT, it is soooo pretty in person. The shade says pink, but it looks kinda coral with tiny shimmers. When I opened the lid, it smelt like roses! Smells really nice! :D Can't wait to try it~ :)

Lead Teaching 03/05/2009
 

I haven't been updating as much due to my super sickness (high fever and cold for FIVE days!). Also, I've been MEGA busy with teaching. I started taking on the entire day and all subjects by myself this week. I gotta say.... I'm LOVING it! It IS stressful when the kids don't listen, but it's sooo rewarding when I see them excited about a lesson I created. :D

On Saturday, for work, I tried out Fuz's Gossip Girl hair by following her youtube tutorial. hehe. My hair is too short and I used a straightening iron. It kinda looks funky on the back, but it was so fun and my boss said I was "kawaii". LOLZ. Here are some pics from Saturday~ :D (Thanks Fuz!)

 
 

I've been meaning to do a review on this concealer for a while and since I have a 5 day weekend (Hooray!), I thought I should finally do it. Anyway, on to the review.

What sold me on this Dr.Murad concealer stick was that it claims to fight acne. I thought that since it is a blemish fighting concealer, it would be dry and hard, but it's creamy and blendable! Because I have a lot of breakouts on my forehead, I do not know if it tremendousssly eleminates MY blemishes, but I think that if you have one or two here or there, then this would be great for you. And if you do have a lot of blemishes, this does not make you break out at all. I really like this concealer so far. I also really like the fact that it's a stick form and I don't have to use a brush. I just dab it on my blemishes and use my fingers to blend it out. It costs $20 at Sephora. They have it at Bath & Body Works as well. :D Overall, I give it a 4/5.
