Fatburgers @ home, Purple FOTD, and fake Italian food :)

Hello,

So, you might notice some posts popping up before this one before the weekend ends...

What happened was... I got really lazy after my last attempt at posting was stopped by my camera (who deciding to re-format as I was uploading). That, also coupled with my power cord in my laptop no longer working consistently... I just didn't really feel the whole blogging thing.

But now that I'm back, I just decided to post all of the things that I had started that were sitting in my saved post thing. So scroll back if you like, and check some of those out.

But anyway. This weekend isn't over yet, but its been good so far.

Last night (Friday) we babysat, and decided to make some burgers at home. We kind of went crazy though and attempted a Fatburger-esque burger... so, sirloin burgers, lettuce, tomato, fried mozzerella, fried egg, ketchup, mustard, and mayo (and Kyle had pickle)...

Kyle had two, naturally.

Huge.

And no, we didn't die of heart attacks, just got a strong case of the itis and had to knock out lol. And if youve never had egg on a burger... try it... seriously... or just go to Fatburger :)

That was Friday.
Today we went and ate dinner with my family at Osteria del Figo on Howell Mill. Yummy faux Italian.

Daddy & Kyle... small tables smh.
Mista de Campo Insalate.
Kyle's Pappardelle with Italian Sausage w/ Bell Peppers.
My Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli w/ Ragu’ alla Bolognese.???

Yum, and here is the purple look I did.


I used my 120 palette. Which I would have posted about, but um, the whole camera catastrophe... I got my for 18 dollars on this eBay store (thats after the coversion from Australian Dollars)... 3 were broken, but I pressed them with alcohol and every was straight. They're tiny tho, dime sized which I didn't count on, but ohwell... really great otherwise.

I also used the Eva Longoria palette from L'Oreal. And Revlon Lip gloss.

Eva Palette

Revlon Mix n' Mingle in "Caramelt".

Yep, well... seeya.

Weekend so far + Review.

Whattup...

So this Friday was fun. This will be slightly extremely picture intensive.

Courtney came from from school!
My look... I used browns from this Sonia Kashuk palette from Target, UD Zero in the outer V, and lined with the teal colored creamliner from HiP. For some reason I hated my makeup that day-- right after I did it, I wanted to take it all off, but I didn't. Maybe because it was raining... Closeups and Products.
We had planned to go to the CCO, but when I called up there and asked if they had anything new from the last time I was there, the girl said they hadn't really been getting very much in... she didn't really sound like she knew what she was talking about... but oh well. We decided just to go to Ulta, because Courtney still wanted to get me a birthday present :) So, she got me this:

Yep. This thing was only $19.99 ($24 originally, but there is 20% of coupon you can print out online, or sign up for their beauty card at the store and youll get the discount). It comes in black, cream and pink. I chose black. Click here to buy online. Its 65 things, all Ulta Brand.


Eyes: The eyeshadows are straight. They go on pretty lightly, and probably need to be packed on-- but the colors are really pretty. And whats good also, is that they are all Ulta colors, so you can buy them individually from Ulta. I guess this is why they claim this is $195 Value-- they must be counting each eyeshadow as $6.50 (the price of an individual at Ulta). I looovee the two palettes in there. The colors go so well together and will make very nice looks.

Face: The Blushes are not very well pigmented (which you can tell in the swatch pictures), but they will do their job- just don't expect NARS or anything. There is a concealer, a green color corrector, and a million glosses that pretty much all look the same color (slight variations, but not enough to swatch-- still pretty though).

Lips: The lipsticks are soo great. Really creamy, and last a long time. Unfortunately, the colors don't really suit me, but it definitely makes me want to go try some other Ulta lipsticks. The little palette of glosses is also really pretty. The two gloss tubes in there are a little too shimmery for me, but still nice.

The packaging is kind of weird. You literally have to pull the tray out to use the blushes, since half of it is covered by the eyeshadow tray. And the actually trays are really thin cheap plastic, that could possibly break with little force-- but its pretty much what you can expect for 20 bucks.

Overall, this thing is pretty cool. I mean, this is a really cost effective way to get most of the Ulta shadows for 20 bucks. I doubt you'll use any of this up quickly.

Here are the swatches. I used UDPP under all of the shadows.

Eyeshadows Row 1-4:
Palettes:
Blush & Lipstick:

Courtney also got me this single shadow from NYX in "Hot Orange". Didn't have any colors like it. It reaally stays put. And the big chunks of glitter don't really stick around, which is fine with me :)
After that, Kyle and I went to Friday's. I finally had my birthday drink. Showing ID wasn't that exciting lol. But we had fun.

Cos we can't pick one appetizer...

My first drink-- a long island-- classsy lol.

First time tasting beer... shit is gross.

Kyle likes this picture? :)

My chipotle grilled Steak Sandwich with slices of plantain.

Kyle's sizzling chicken and cheese and mashed potatoes.

Post meal :) Note: My drink is gonnne...

Sleeepy :)

Yeah, goodtimes.
Saturday, we were supposed to go to the Terra Cotta Soldiers Exhibit at the High Museum with my dad... but, it got late, so we just ate dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express. BBQ Quesadilla was good :)

:)

Kyle & Daddy... he fits very well into our mixedup family.

Awkward.

Thats finally it. No more... that was a lot of mess.
Peace.

This Weekend-- Pic Heavy...

Kyle and I ran a lot of errands on Sunday... and we took pictures :) Random pictures, laced with a few cat-ladyesque images of my babies.

Oh firstly... thanks to Lady L, I remembered that I had the Ammo palette from Urban Decay. So I just did a neutral eye with a few of the colors. I used my Deluxe palettom from UD, as well

I used

SMOG all over the lid. (top, left)
MAUI WOWIE on the brow bone.
ZERO on the outer v.
SHAG on the inner corner, and on my lower lash line.

Before we left out. Mad ghosts in both of those pictures...
Isn't that was those spot are supposed to be.

Speaking of... what was weird... I was home alone today, and Keaton comes over, stops at the door, points down the hallway, and says "Who is that?"-- creepy. We have a lot of strange incidents here tho, with lights turning on at random, stuff like that... oh well lol.

Ikea pizza... tastes like Totinos... or cafeteria pizza... :)
:)

Then we went to Home Depot... being a blogger, and taking pictures of mundane daily activities gets hard when people can yaknow... see you lol. Why are you taking pictures at Home Depot? Oh because Kyle poses.

Then we went to Starbucks... and Kyle (at 6'3 2/4, big as hell) drank a short caramel apple cider.
Gross hot white chocolate.

Yeah, so that was our exciting weekend. So um, if you didn't know, I'm a lightweight catlady. And my cats do cute things. People with cats might get it, if not, um... yeah. :)

Sleepy Luna.

Looks like a pikachu. He poses.

And the sickly Keaton, who was sniffling and sneezing all Friday night. Fun.

Peace.
