Haul: Lash Lust

I took another trip to San Francisco's Japantown recently and came back with a bunch of super-pretty lashes! (of course, what else is new?)  Lol, anyways, I thought I'd share some new lash styles that I discovered and can't wait to try out! :D

I'm really excited about these "natural" style lashes with clear lash bands.  I can't wait to see how they look on!

These are new to me...bottom lashes.  They look pretty intense, I hope I'll be able to pull them off!

And of course I love my glitters!

Oh, and look what else!  An eyelash case!  What a great idea, right?  I hate it when I lose my lashes after just one wear...usually because, following occasions where I apply false lashes, I'm a little tipsy (oh, but don't worry, husband is always DD, lol) and my first inclination is to wash up and collapse into bed.  This pretty little case holds up to 4 pairs!  I'm looking forward to being able to organize my lashes and increase their longevity!

Well, that's all I got for tonight!  Hope you guys had fun checking out my new lash stash and have a great Monday night!

Last Saturday

Remember when I did this makeup look for a bday party I went to last Saturday?  I meant to, but totally forgot to post a couple pics so that you could see what I did with my hair.  Anyways, here ya go!

Hubby and me. :)

Back of my hair.

We had an amazing dinner at Roy's in San Francisco and then headed over to Candy Bar for drinks and dessert.  It was a really fun and yummy evening!  I would post pics of the beautiful bday girl, Crystal, but she's a little shy and I haven't asked permission to use her images yet.  BUT, what I can do, is post pics of some food I ate.  You guys probably don't know this, but I'm almost more passionate about food than I am about fashion and makeup!

Pinot Noir

Jumbo prawns stuffed with dungeness crab

Brown butter seared salmon

Filet mignon and Maine lobster tail

Molten chocolate souffle

Waaaaaaaah!  Now I'm hungry.  Well, anyway, goodnight.  For real.  Lol, you can probably see how I'm trying to cram as many posts in as I can before I leave because I'm not sure if I'll have the time to while I'm away on holiday.  I don't know if I mentioned it, but we're having Thanksgiving with relatives AND celebrating a wedding. (my cousin's getting married)  Oh, and I'm also doing bridal hair and makeup.  *gleep*  I hope I don't disappoint!  I mean, I'm okay with makeup, but don't have much experience with hair.  I've been practicing on my guinea pigs (sisters) , however, and I think things are going to be ok.  Wish me luck!

Earthquakes and Sweets from The City.

Okay, totally random and off-topic, but I experienced two Earthquakes within just hours of each other today.  There was also one on Monday.  I'm a little nervous right now because everyone is saying that a series of mini earthquakes are usually harbingers for "The Big One".  Yikes.  I love living in the San Francisco bay area, but there appears to be some drawbacks as well.

Anywho, back to the original subject I wanted to talk about.  Yesterday, my husband and I had a rare, shared weekday off so we ventured into "The City", a term for the city of San Francisco by those who reside in the area, for some food and just to hang out.  Hubby was on his iPhone about 1/2 the time, though, because even when he's not working, he's working.  Oh well.  We still had a great time.  We got a chance to head into the Hayes Valley district and ventured into Miette, this absolutely darling confectionary and bakery that sells the most gorgeous and delicious sweet treats.  Definitely one of the reasons worth living in the SF bay area.  I thought I'd share photos I took of some of the goodies:

Coffee Tomboy: chocolate cake with coffee buttercream.  I love the simple, delicate rose on top!

My Miette Haul!  You can see the candy corn and lemon puffs. We had some vanilla, candy apple, and strawberry taffy in one bag.  Another bag had macarons in hazelnut, vanilla, and rose-geranium flavor.  Yum!  Oh, and there's a cupcake in the box.

My old-fashioned chocolate cupcake with meringue frosting topped with a candy peanut.  Isn't it to die?!  It tasted as delicious and adorable as it looks!  I wish I had a dozen! :D

Just thought I'd end with something happy after having a stressful day.  I'll be posting my latest haul plus a video tutorial tomorrow.  Goodnight y'all!
