Tiny Beauty Palace Haul & An Update

So, last week I decided that I want to try a BB cream. It's mostly because my skin has been acting up lately (I blame the weather) by being more red and blotchy, and breaking out! Ew. And also kuz my mom wasn't blessed with being pretty, and got brown spots and dark circles.. (my poor mamas). I think it'll help her confidence to have prettier skin, even if it is so far into the game.

So anyways, after work, I dropped by the Beauty Palace across the street from the Country, because I know it's Korean owned. I was hoping to find some cheap(er) but good BB creams. Boy, was I wrong!! This older Korean woman walked up to me and started talking.. and talking.. and wouldn't shut the fuck up!! I got really annoyed. Kuz all she wanted to do was SELL ME BB CREAMS THAT WERE OVER $100! Seriously. I asked her for cheaper ones, and she's like, "This one is only $80." Dude, I'm not STUPID. I won't get hustled anymore by salespeople.. and plus, I'm too damn broke to be hustled like that. Anyroad, I totally got saved by the bf calling me (thank goodness!), so I walked away and found a teasing comb. Oh and I found a whole stand of Darkness lashes. I've never heard of the brand , especially since I never wear falsies! But I found two that were interesting. It was 2 for $5. I'm not sure if that was a good price.. but I said hey, why not.

This is what I ended up getting --

A teasing comb, bobby pins (I keep losing them!), and 2 pairs of Darkness lashes.


The texture of the teeth is what makes it awesome. Now, if only my hair would HOLD a tease..


The two lashes.


This one caught my eye kuz it's so dense. It's also cool kuz the ends seem to criss cross vertically.


And each box incudes glue. Or at least I THINK it's glue.. "/ lol.

Other news is that I just talked to the guy I'm planning to rent from. And he said that he definitely wants to rent with us. Yay (: And in anticipation of uprooting my room ONCE MORE, I let my OCD take over and I made post-its for my boxes. I organized it by where I'd end up putting the stuff in my new room, and then in fine print (that you can't really read/see), I wrote what would be going in that box itself. Lol, right? I'm just excited.. (: But thanks everyone for your well wishes and such. I'm just glad to be sharing it with you guys, because everyone has to go through this transition of gaining independence.



Also, adding to moving news. I'm picking up a desk for $10(!!!!) from some girl in Irvine. It's a super cute Ikea desk that they painted dark brown and put polka dot contact paper on.. heehee (: Totally me. I also found the dining table set I wanted at Ikea. Sooo cute!! It's originally $100, and they're selling it for $80. It's not much of a discount, but it's pretty new, and no tax!


I also found a TV stand I REALLY REALLY want.. but it's $139. $139 that I can't spare right now ): But it's soo cute, and perfect for my 36" flat screen.

Okay, well. Time to keep "working" haha.. Oh and I'm still trying to edit my video I filmed earlier this week. My windows movie maker has been acting up. SOO ANNOYING!! I need a new computer -____-

Well, happy Friday! Have a good weekend, kuz I know I will! I have a lot planned (:
