I sinned again..



Lately I have been going shopping pretty frequently since all the crazy after Xmas sales are going on in the malls. I told myself to save money but didn't know why all the ads of super discount and boxing days still kept me in the mood of spending. So, I ended up getting a bunch of things and I thought I gotta share with you guys

I got some make up. First is the limited edition Stila charmed eye shadow palette. I got it from Nordstrom Racks in Potomac Mills quite a while ago for 9 bucks. That is completely crazy. I love its the colors and the packaging.


Along with that, I also got a gold blush from Shu Uemura ( it works amazingly as a single eye shadow as well) for 6 bucks (!!!). Isn't it crazyyy?? You must says that I'm lying but I'm not. I remember it was still on sell in Nordstrom for 22 bucks something. Hah.



I tried to look for some more products of Shu uemurae but that was the only left in the clearance section. Yet I found a lip balm from Philosophy for 7 bucks. That is so weird. This exactly lip balms is still on sale in Sephora for $12. Deal!



My skin is extremely dry and pale during the winter, so I badly need something to both moisturize and cover the imperfections on my face. I went to Macys, probably 2 days a go, to look for a foundation that does the job. I completely don't know anything about foundation because I never use that before, so I ended up with the Shiseido advanced hydro liquid compact with SPF15 in I20. The foundation came in a refilled compact, which meant I had to buy the case which is 10 more bucks, so the total was $42, which was insanely pricey. But there were no brands but Shiseido that I trusted in the line of moisturizing foundation, so I thought it should be a good investment. Here is the pic


And I got some sample as the bonus for spending a bunch of money on that foundation, which is the sun protection eye cream and 2 tiny Super corrective serum bags. I probably never use them, so I think I will send it to my mom or give it to somebody else.



Move on to clothes, I sadly didn't get a lot. One of them is a Limited brand sweater cardigan that I got from Tj-Maxx. It was $13, which is super cheap. You can never beat Tj-Maxx deal. I didn't like it very much when I first saw it, it was the girl who came with me forced me to buy it, but I like it a lot later on. Here is the pic of me wearing it a couple of days ago when hanging out with friends.

The other one, also my absolutely favorite, is the trend coat from Mango. OMG I love plaid i tell you. I have been dreaming about a plaid trend (dress-like) jacket long ago since i first had my eyes on the red plaid dress that Hilary Swank wore in the movie P/s I love you. Look how stunning it is


At the first time I went to the mall, I saw the coat but there was only the Small size one left. For Mango brand, XS is still a little bit big for me so there is no way that I'm gonna fit in a S size coat. I like it so much that was mad when I could not find my size, so the whole day I went around the mall and didn't get anything. After that about 3 days i went back to the mall with my boyfriend and just randomly walked into the store, tended to show him the coat that I liked so much. But surprisingly I found the coat with the XS one. Gods probably heard me crying. Lol. So here is me and the coat. It was quite pricy, but I thought $50 reduced from 100 something is not a bad deal for a Mango jacket. I love the pattern and I think it looks more pretty outside. I will try to take another pic that show the whole length next time, i'm just not in the mood of taking picture at this moment.


I almost forgot one more thing I got from a mall in Bethesda. Me and my bf was going to Dave and Buster and thought it was pretty close so we went there to have a look. And guess what, it was a dress from GUESS MARCIANO. Omg I have been to so many Guess store and I never saw Guess Marciano, I thought it was only on sell in Neiman Marcus. And the dress was insanely cheap too. $20 reduced from $120 or something. I'm so pleased with it.


Here is a few things left. Another 99cent pair of earrings from Ebay just arrived today. I'm not so happy about them since they look kind of cheap if you look at it closely. I probably will just wear them to go to work or so since the lighting in the restaurant is kind of dim and it will cover up a clear look into the earrings.\


And lately I have been using this moisturizer, which I got from my boyfriend.


Isn't it cute?? It works amazingly too. I tried so many kinds of moisturizer and all of them make my face oily after a few hours, yet this one does a good job on moisturizing my face,absorb completly into my skin and never grease. It is the brand Pure Milk. Does anybody know about that brand? I have been searching this brand on google yet I couldn't find it. I think it's from Japan since there is some Japanese character on the back of the bottle. I asked my boyfriend but he said that he got it a while ago in Texas. That is so strange.
