Pacific Blues

I hope everyone had a nice Mothers Day :) Sadly, I wasn't able to visit my mother due to her being in LA and I in San Jose. It wouldn't have been enough time to hang out with her if I drove home for weekend. 6 hrs on the road would've been worth it if it was a long weekend :)

Sometime in the middle of the week, I was playing with my NYX products that I got at Ulta and decided to attempt a cream/pastel shadow look as requested from one of my blogger friends. I used the jumbo pencil in Baby blue and the eyeshadow shade Pacific to create the look. Both of them are similar colors and I felt that they blended beautifully as if they were artfully meant to be worn side by side.

Excuse the strange faces! The quality of the jumbo pencils are unbelievable. The eyeshadow is also a standout. Most of NYX's products are really impressive, from their range of colors and the ongoing affordability. I can't believe it took me so long to find this brand. At first, it didn't strike me as being a quality brand until I started seeing more and more women using this. I was very impressed with the shadows and I am also a big fan of their lipsticks. I have yet to get Strawberry Milk but I have Indian Princess and Tea Rose which i also love very dearly. Although the moisturizing scale of the lipsticks are not as balmy as Rimmel and or Maybelline, the color payoff is absolutely great. The best way is to wear something under or over to lock in the moisture.

I really want the pencil  in Cottage Cheese now!! Sadly, they were sold out at Ulta. I hate having ordering online if i don't plan on making a big purchase. I'm so impatient when waiting for things to come.My ELF order is supposed to come tomorrow but I waited over a week and a half for it! =P Anyway, I used the jumbo pencil as a base for the eyeshadow and just blended it outwards. Blue on blue may be a little lame for most makeup gurus and I know I need to start experimenting with color combinations...which is why I have a million different palettes! LOL

This is a short post since i have to prepare for work tomorrow. I hope everyone has a good start on Monday! I hear Starbucks is having half off all frapps from 3-5pm for "happy hour" or whatever they are doing. I'm still not sure why they are having this promo. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is also giving away their new ice blended drinks on 5/11. It's valid in CA, AZ, NV, HI, TX. Go get your fix! :)

Goodnight all!
