Online Hauling

The only good thing about the husband being away on a business trip is that I can wake up at 5am to shop online and then go back to bed and no one's there to get mad at me for waking them up.  If you don't know already I live in Hawaii and though it's the best place to live it kind of sucks that all the sample sales start at 11am EST(Hawaii is -6hours from EST right now).  Oh well.  So today I found a couple cute things that I COULD NOT resist.  Isn't this necklace the cutest!!  It also came in rose gold and I had the hardest time choosing between the two.  Ultimately I figured I'd get the most wear from this gunmetal one since the rose gold is a little more flashy.  I was on the fence about the Vince cardigan because it was still a bit pricey at 50% off but I heard the quality is great and I just found a hole in my current black go-to cardigan.  Can't wait to wear this one when it gets a little cooler here.  

Billion Dollar Babes: Tuleste Market - Solid Bow Necklace in Rhodium 

HauteLook: Vince Open Cardigan

I should really start doing haul videos with the amount of great stuff I've been buying.  Just got more Environ skincare which is my fav (purchased at www.firstforskincare.com).  Ordered some ELF stuff so I could get another flat top powder brush.  This brush is so versatile that it's hard to have only one, plus it's like $3.  I scored a couple beautiful bags by Rebecca Minkoff at Nordstrom Rack too (only $89 each!).  I'm also anxiously awaiting my www.thecurrentcustom.com order too.  Time to freeze the credit cards in ice.  =)

Mid-morning Nap

Ugh. Woke up this morning at 7:15 just so I could make the 8:30 turbo kick class at 24 hour and when I get there they're closed!!! Not usually a problem but I went to sleep last night at 2am Totally wanted to sleep in today but I was good and motivated myself to get up and workout. Now I'm taking at nap at 9:30am. So messed up. Sucks.

P.S.

P.S. I was secretly so happy the day I got my first shipment not only because I finally got them but because in her vlog that day she mentioned that she always uses UPS unless you're international or if you live in Hawaii then she ships through USPS.  I was like hey she's talking about me!  haahaa =)  I know how immature can I be.  I didn't even tell my husband because for sure he would roll his eyes and ask how much they were.  3 not so bad but add on 6 more . . . I'm sure he can do the math. 

David Smallcombe Bracelets from TheCurrentCustom.com

If you've ever went on youtube and watched a makeup or hair tutorial or haul I'm sure you've heard of Lorraine Stanick.  YouTube is addicting and I have been an addict for about 5 months now.  At least I can admit it now.  It IS my guilty pleasure.  Amazing how watching a couple 10 minute videos can turn into hours spent on the computer.  =P  Anyways, so I love watching Lorraine's vlogs on her TheCurrentBoobies channel and have always admired her jewelery but have resisted buying any until now.  I was a litle skeptical of the quality just because I have a lot of Tiffany's silver jewelry that gets banged up and scratched fairly easily especially the ones that I wear everyday.  On her blog she says she wears them 24/7, to sleep, workout, shower etc. and they still look shiney and good.  And like any good internet shopper, I researched, watched and read reviews, checked on prices and finally I am happy to say that I made a purchase!  Last week I received my 3 large cuffs in sterling silver, gold fill and rose gold fill.  Yah!  I am so happy with them and they are beautiful and good quality!  So happy that I ended up ordering 2 small cuffs of each color and the 5ft silver chain =|  ugh.  I love and hate mself right now but I couldn't help it.  In my mind I figured I'm saving money on shipping since I KNOW that if I only got one of each of the small ones I would want another set so I can mix and match.  So stupid but I also can't wait to see if any of my friends recognize them.  I don't THINK anyone else is obsessed enough (or have enough free time) to watch vlogs on Youtube but I guess you never know.  I myself am hesitant to talk about it with anyone my age.  Anyways, maybe when I get my next package I'll post some photos.  Just FYI, although the bracelets are beautiful and I love them, 3 large of each color looks not quite right.  Hence the need to buy the 6 small to get that full, contrasting look.  I would start with her recommended one large, 2 small cuffs if you're on a budget.  You can always add more on later =).

L'oreal Telescopic Liquid Liner Waterproof

After watching numerous tutorials about how great L'oreal's liquid liner is I finally decided to go out and buy it.  I've been using Blacktrack by MAC and figured it would look the same since it is pretty much a liquid . . . WRONG!  I love this liquid liner.  If you've ever had IOPE or another Korean brand liner it's pretty much the same thing but cheaper.  I kind of rolls off with makeup remover in pieces instead of fading away.  I wore it today AND worked out with it on and it stayed put!!!  No leaking into my eyes or racoons.  The ultimate test will be tomorrow when I wear it to my Shadow Boxing class (24hour).  I sweat so much in that class and am constantly towelling off my face the whole time.  Even blacktrack won't stay on.  If it works I'll have my HG workout combo, this and Diorshow waterproof! *crosses fingers* <3

Brand New Blog

Yah! I'm so excited to finally start this new blog.  I finally choose a decent name that I could live with which was really the hardest part.  For old posts please refer back to my first blog http://bonvivant24.blogspot.com/  I would have liked to keep it but the google/blogger connection is weird and when I changed my email address I couldn't link it to the old blog.  Anyways, I think this one will reflect my interests better since I won't be focusing on food as much as make up and beauty items.  With that said thanks for tuning in and hope you don't mind my rambles and personal opinions.  <3
