Thoughts by Mee: February 2011

I have been waiting for weeks for my order from HauteLook. I ordered 3 different jewerly items from Juicy Couture - two pairs of earring and a bracelet. I LOVE this site. There are a lot of brands that I'm not familiar with but when they do have sales for the brands I know, I'm on it! lol.

HauteLook is a site that sells designer brands for 50-70% off. Membership is free which is awesome! Each new sales starts at 11AM Eastern time (8AM Pacific time) and the merchandise is a first come first serve. You have to be quick! The item you select is in your cart for 15 minutes and if you haven't bought it yet within those 15 minutes, then it gets released back into inventory where another shopper can snatch it up.

The first pair of earrings I got came in this cute box with the JC scottie dogs emblem on the top. Inside are two flower stud earrings.

The second pair of earrings is teardrop shaped earrings with studs. It came in a little satin pouch with Juicy Couture written on the front.

And lastly, here's the bracelet.

I've been wearing the first pair of earrings a lot lately. Most recent was out on a shopping trip with the bf and some friends to the outlet mall. I'm loving my Juicy Couture jewelry!

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Weekend! This is the first Valentine that I've spent with a significant other.

The bf lives about 1hr 1/2 - 1hr 45mins away from me. I know, I know..it's so far. After work on Friday, he came down and didn't get to my place til 1:30am. He works 2nd shift. On Saturday, we didn't do much. What he had planned fell through so we went to Target and he did a little shopping for his little girl. We also went to IKEA and got me a white dresser and came back home and put it together. Since it was already late, 7-8ish, we went to get something to eat. Stopped at Olive Garden first but that place was super busy so then we decided to get some fast food. Me = Panda Express. Him = Chick-fil-A. We ended up staying in eating our food and watching Anchorman.

For Valentine's Day gifts, I got him a framed picture of us, Lindt chocolate truffles and of couse, a Vday card. Start out simple and build up as the years go by, right? lol

What he planned was really sweet. I give him points for trying, lol. Our very first date was at Chili's inside Discover Mills. He had called them to see if he can reserve the same booth we sat in the very first time we met but, of course, they told him no. Then his gift idea didn't work out either! He has this high school friend who owns a store in Canton that sells high-end merchandise. I've never been there so I don't know what the inventory looks like. So anyway, he said that she has some gift baskets available and was going to get me one but when he saw them, he didn't like the selection. So as a last minute gift, he got me one of those Valentine blanket and pillow bundle from Wally world! haha. The blanket is actually pretty warm. And of course along with that, there was card too.

Now onto the haul. Last week, Ulta had a great sale on some drugstore makeup. I think L'oreal was buy two, get 1 free.

L'oreal lineur intense felt tip liquid eyeliner in black mica. Heard a lot of good reviews about this eyeliner so I got myself one. Be careful and read the packaging when you buy it because it comes in a felt tip and brush. The brush isn't all that great. I made the mistake of buying the brush the first time.

L'oreal Voluminous mascara in blackest black. Read good reviews on this too so thought I'd pick it up. It actually does a good job of coating my lashes. My lashes are short, thin, and straight.

L'oreal True match blush in 5-6 warm. I picked this up to round out my buy 2, get 1 free. This blush is okay.

NYX eyelashe #110. I've never tried NYX eyelashes before so I picked up a pair just to try. Comes with lash glue which I'm not going to use. Instead, I will be using my duo lash glue.
