valentine's day fotd

another valentine's day and no marriage proposal...ha! i can daydream, can't i?

okay so my bf and i usually don't celebrate this particular day with anything special but we did go out to dinner last night and then a quick trip to walmart. haha romantic, right??

i ended up ordering 4 more things from the HK collection at mac online because i was bad and didn't send my daughter a card for valentine's so i'm sending her some things from mac. even better. i'm also debating on making a trip to the pro store in the city tomorrow since my bf is snowboarding again in tahoe (this time with his sister) and won't be back until the evening. we'll see. i'm put off by the san francisco traffic.

i also apologize this fotd was applied semi-sloppy and i think it could have been way better!

p.s. ignore the hair. i hadn't straightened it yet!

scarface never gets old...

which is why i'm watching it for the 50th time on cable right now! i should be in bed.

well today was a semi-productive day with the bf for once. we went to the jelly belly factory because i was fiending for some dr. pepper jelly beans. good thing he lives nearby. after that we went to eat chinese at golden willow in concord. so very very good. last stop was fry's because i needed a new keyboard. it's cordless, so welcome me to the 21st century please! here's today fotd which i apologize, isn't anything too new. i think it came out fine though.

F for unoriginality. A + for hello kitty!

usually i give up on putting anything on my face when it gets so late in the day but because my boyfriend is coming over (i think) and i haven't seen him in a few days, i decided to put on my face. plus i was anxious to use my HK stuff! sadly, this look is not original but rather inspiration from specktra. yay! also, i'm extra happy because there's a tales from the darkside marathon on tv today. i know, i'm weird. whatevs! here's my face:

hello kitty !!!!!!

YEEPS! hello kitty came out today at mac (i think the whole makeup world knows now) !

luckily my high school friend tanya, who's also an artist at a mac in orlando, fl sent me a message on myspace earlier today to tell me the good news so naturally i HAULED my ass down to mac to get my stuff, but not before calling them to hold it of course! i almost started to hyperventilate and had to cross my fingers that i didn't get into an accident on the way there. of course all the traffic lights lasted an hour each and there was traffic on the freeway!

and here i was sitting at home all day made up with nowhere to go. my friend tanya rules!

here's my haul and today's fotd:

l-r: fun & games blush, nice to be nice & fast friends lipglass, lavender whip l/s (from creme team), on the prowl laquer, brush set, too dolly & lucky tom quads.


i'm seriously in love with all this stuff!

crappy pic but flash washes everything out. boo

not as exciting as i thought

my lack of fotds has only been because i've pretty much been with brian non-stop the past month and a half and i've either been a) too lazy to put makeup on because we never do anything or b) get frustrated and end up not doing my face because he gets impatient & starts talking shit and c) when i do get ready, i feel too idiotic to take pics of it because he's around. this is what happens when both of you are out of work at the same time!

speaking of, this is the worst time for hello kitty to come out at mac (since i'm slowly and surely running out of money) but of course, i have some money put aside for it. of course i do!

well the bf is gone snowboarding at mammoth with his friends for a few days and i'm here alone so i decided to be pretty today. it's not as exciting in pics as it is in person. i really like how this came out.
