Collective Haul and Giveaway Wins. Pic heavy!

Hello friends! I am back. And refreshed, sort of. Ah, not really. Going back to work was hard. Visiting my family back home was a nice break and hanging out with my mom and going shopping with her and having . I didn't do much Black Friday shopping this year and I'm glad because i went one year and it was outrageous. I actually did tag along to Best Buy with my brother at 1am but we saw the line wrap around the store twice. We left.

LOVE Sriracha! It's a popular Asian chili, aka sauce with the rooster logo, aka Vietnamese chili, aka the chili I can't live without.

Leftover turkey omelet and mashed potatoes.

My only Black Friday purchase! A wireless mouse for my laptop :)


My brother's a bit of a rubix cube lover. Here's a 6x6! This was like $60! 


Here is the skincare stuff I acquired over the last few months! I don't shop frequently, but when i do, I hoard.


I heard a ton of great reviews from several bloggers about Nuxe Skincare so I decided to try it. I purchased both the liquid lotions because I love the feel of these on the skin. They're uber hydrating and smell amazing! Will review both soon! =)


My mom gave me this moisturizer. It's a little too rich, but it feels nice and has a pretty scent.

Shiseido White Lucent Emulsion -  This stuff is actually really good. I plan on reviewing the entire White Lucent line for you guys, so hang on!


Shiseido Bio Performance Night Cream - Another night cream to try. I'm running out of my Naruko one so I decided to try this. I haven't opened it yet, but I hope it doesn't disappoint. I've read amazing reviews about this stuff!


La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream - My very first La Prairie product! I'm hoping it lives up to the hype. Of prevention, that is!


I got this a week ago. I'm liking this so far! :)

I was also really fortunate to win 2 giveaways within the month! The first one is from Vintage Makeup. She is so sweet. It was a Twitter win!



Stila Convertible Eye Color in Lilac. It's a dual eyeshadow and liner. It's a gorgeous plum shade isn't it? :)

And my next win is from Mayaari. I won some of her handmade goodies from her shop, DC Bijou. She makes adorable cosmetic pouches, hair accessories and jewelry. Check out her Etsy shop here. =)


Cute!!!! This is going in my purse! 

Masks, and other samples!

She added a Maybelline eyeshadow palette! I love the colors! I'm excited to try this.

And a lip gloss charm from Missha~! Love!



I bought my cat Bacon a new home yesterday! It was only $12 at Kohl's! Cute? LOL The brand is Animal Planet. If you buy it online, it's like $10 or something, but I couldn't wait!

One more thing....to stir your sweet tooth ;)



Cupcakes Babaloo brought :) OMG, it was delicious!!!!!!!!!! Check out Frost Cupcake Factory here.

my bf loves sriracha more than i do - he even has a t-shirt with the logo/label on it! i love your cat's name btw :)

oh, forgot to mention that the little silver & pink packet with the masks are cotton sheets soaked in distilled water - good as a quick pick-me-up for your skin during the day. i like to use them on top of sheetmasks sometimes to keep the mask moist so I can wear it for a while :)
