NYX Matte Lipstick in Tea Rose Review + Swatch ❤

Hii Lovelies~ ❤

I hope those living in the US had a great 4th of July & played with or saw fireworks! (: & I hope those living internationally had a great weekend! My family and I went on a tour of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo this weekend and the weather is so much nicer in the beach area than the inland area~ It's like 100 degrees over here right now... but it was a nice 70-ish degrees at Santa Barbara (: 

Today, I will be doing a review on the new NYX Matte Lipstick in the shade "Tea Rose" (: Although the name "Tea Rose" is synonymous with the popular shade of "Tea Rose" of the NYX Round Case Lipstick, the colors are slightly different~ So don't buy this lipstick thinking that it is a matte version of the Round Case Lipstick version! ^^

Onto the product! (:

The packaging of this lipstick is a matte black tube, which represents the matte-ness of this lipstick :D
Smart packaging~ hahaha

Ulta Haul Again!! ❤

Hii Lovelies~ ❤

I hope all of you are doing well!~ School is almost over!! & some lucky students got out of school already~ >< & some graduated!! Congratulations (: This weekend, I went with my boyfriend to Ulta to take advantage of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale~ yayyy~ I purchased some NYX and Physician's Formula products~

From Left to Right, Clockwise

1. Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Eye Enhancing Gel Eyeliner for Hazel Eyes
(They ran out of "for Brown Eyes" ): ) But I like the Hazel Eyes strip because it has a tiny amount of pink shimmer to make eyes pop!~
2. NYX Round Case Lipstick in Milan

3. NYX Round Case Lipstick in Tea Rose 

4. NYX Round Case Lipstick in Doll

5. NYX Powder Blush in Pinched (Supposedly a NARS Orgasm dupe)
6. Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Blush & Highlighter in Healthy Glow
7. Physician's Formula Multi-Colored Light Bronzer for Light to Medium Skin

I bought these on separate occasions and used the Ulta $5 off $10 purchase both times~ & when I was buying the Physician's Formula stuff, I used two $5 off Physician's Formula products coupons & the bronzer had a $4 off instantly coupon on it, so I paid about $8 for 3 Physician's Formula products and $5 for 3 NYX products~ ^^ What a great deal!!

I will definitely review these items soon!! Sorryyyyy I have this 15 page marketing plan due next week o___o & I heard that in a class of 300 students... only 1% can get an A... which means only 3 students!! Wahhhhh~ >< Must try hard!!

In lighter news, my boyfriend bought 2 hamsters!!~ They are sisters~ ^^ Twins! They are soooo cute~ ><

Can you say AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?~ ><

Please look forward to my reviews soon & have a nice day! ^^

Sincerely, mimi ❤

Ulta Mini Haul~~ ^^

Hii everyone~ ♥

YAY it's finally Friday!! Yesterday, I went to Ulta with my roommate/friend Tiffany aka Tiffo! We went to Ulta to buy some makeup from their 40% off sale on Maybelline, Revlon and NYX! The sale was so amazing... I was like a kid in a candy store~ But I ultimately only bought 4 things~ 2 NYX lip glosses, 1 NYX blush & 1 Maybelline Mascara~

Starting from the top, clockwise

1. NYX lip gloss in Salsa

2. NYX lipgloss in Pound Cake

3. Maybelline Define A Lash

4. NYX Mosaic Blush in Rosey

I will have reviews for these soon! but I will tell you right now that the Maybelline Define-A-Lash is SO hard to wash off... I tried it yesterday and 4 of my precious lashes fell out~ T____T

We shopped around at this outdoor mall called Victoria Garden~ & it's so prettyy! I love that place (: 

& while we were walking, Tiffany spotted this bird's nest right in the P of JCPenny!!! AHAHAHAHA~ We thought it was so hilarious, we just stood there pointing at it and laughing while other shoppers tried to find what was so funny... hehe...~

*embarrassed ><

I took this picture of my turtle Hayden today! (: He lives with a bunch of guppies & surprisingly, he doesn't eat them! What a nice turtle~ ^^ I have a turtle, 1 mom guppy, 1 dad guppy & 20 baby guppies >< and a fat adorable hamster named Hami~ 

Hami doing what he's best at~~ Eating sunflower seeds ><

Anyways~ I have so many projects to do this weekend ): College is so tiring... I have severe dark circles under my eyes like a panda @_@ 

I saw this video & it's so cute!! I want that dog~ ><

so smart~~~

Hope everyone had a great week! & have a fun weekend ♥

Sincerely, mimi ♥
