Happy Hauling

I did quite a bit of shopping within the last two weeks because my exam syndrome was kicking in. Retail therapy always make things feel so much better - if I did horrendously bad, at least I have materialistic objects to sooth my sorrowful mentality OR if I did satisfyingly well, I deserve all the goodies I treated myself with and I should continue to buy more LOL. It's a win-win situation right? And to conclude, I'm happy to say that I ended up with the latter this semester. YAY! 

Abercrombie's shopping bag just makes me go UMPH *_* <3 HAHA

Believe it or not, it's my first Abercrombie & Fitch purchase and I can't wait to bum around at school with it on all day cause it's SO soft and comfortable (I really do understand the hype about these hoodies now) lol. I'm hoping maybe I'll be able to go to the States sometime soon again to catch the back-to-school sales and buy another hoodie or sweater. This was 50% off, so I got it for $36 - not bad, but I want more options (this was the second last one in a small). Pac Sun was having a buy-one-get-one-free denim sale ($36.99), so mom and I each got a pair of  skinnies...they fit really nice! As for the look alike Toms, I never actually planned on buying one but they were only $16.50, so I couldn't say no hehe.

Bought the beenie last week from Forever 21, I'm feeling quite inspired by Jenn from Clothesencounters and have been on the hunt for a perfect beenie to fit my head. This was only $9.90, I love how it's a bit scrunched and wrinkly to give the hat some texture and dimension. The cute striped shorts are from H&M and they were a steal - $10 from the kid's section!!! :D

I'm trying to reorganize my makeup vanity at the moment but very slowly because I'm not sure what kind of organizers I should get to work with my little station. I've been looking at some pictures online for ideas but I'm so indecisive because I don't want to have the need to return things or be stuck with unnecessary crap. For now, I just bought a candle holder from Walmart and conveniently filled it up with rice because I'm asian LOL. I wish I could do the same with my face brushes, but I don't know if I should because I have 3 double ended brushes....suggestions anyone? What should I do with the odd ones out if I get another holder? Or should I just stick to a tray to store them all sideways?

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold, Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in 40 Pink Plum,
L'Oreal Color Riche Caresse Lipstick in 170 Cotton Pink

I haven't had the chance to try out these products well enough yet, so I will do reviews soon. But so far in terms of first impressions, I absolutely LOVE the lipstick, the blush is super fun to play with and the cream shadow seems awesome as expected!
