Today Is A Good Day :)

Today has been an awesome day. There are 4 reasons:
1) Today was payday
2) I got No Mercy
3) Estee Lauder/ L'oreal
4) Tomorrow is my birthday


So, #1: I got paid, and it was more than I had expected, which was a nice surprise. Also, my boss has figured out a way to not drag out my CPP payments over the next 2 months. That made my day.

#2: I got the latest book in the Dark-Hunter/Were-Hunter/Dream-Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I can't wait to read this book. I'm soooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

#3: I went to the Estee Lauder counter at Sears. The lovely lady at the counter who was very nice and helpful told me about this gift thing they had going on. If you spent $32 or more at the counter, you would get a little gift bag with $80 worth of stuff.
So, I bought the Estee Lauder Signature Eyeshadow Quad in N02 Amber Honey ($40). I wanted Spiced Peach, but they were out. Here's a pic of the Amber Honey Quad.

For my free gift, I got one of their warm bags. It comes with the Take It Away Total Makeup Remover, DayWear Plus MultiProtection Creme SPF15 for Normal/Combination Skin, Pure Color Eyeshadow Duo (10 Ivory Slipper[Satin] and 04 Wild Sable[Matte]), 2 Pure Color Lipsticks (126 Nectarine and 157 Autumn), Artist's Eye Pencil in 01 Softsmudge Black, and a cosmetic bag(not really my style of bag, but hey, it's free).

Gift and Quad

Nectarine

Autumn

Swatches: Nectarine--Autumn

I've only tried Nectarine so far, and I do like it, but it seems to be a little dry. I have to use a lip conditioner over it. The colours are a little more vibrant than what shows up in the swatches. I haven't used any of the other makeup yet.



Besides Estee Lauder, I got a L'oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in 231 Sepia/Silk from their Made For Me Naturals Line (for Dark Brunettes). It's very natural looking, I did try it on, it's very close to my natural lip color.

Sepia/Silk

Here is all 3 lipsticks swatched.

Nectarine--Autumn--Sepia/Silk

All the lipsticks are a little sheer, but the colours show up pretty well. I've been looking for a nude lipstick, and finally found one that I think I like. I have to wear it for longer to see if it dries out my lips or not.

And, finally, #4: Tomorrow is my birthday!!!!!!!!!! I turn 20! I'm pretty excited about that. Don't know what I'm doing tomorrow, but whatever it is, I hope I'll be having fun.

Maybe tomorrow I'll post a blog all about my birthday lol. That's all for today.
