Karaoke and Bowling

Necklace: MAC Certification Necklace
Wedges: Xenon by Jeffrey Campbell

So I posted this look on Lookbook a couple days ago. So I basically strutted around in my sky high Jeffrey Campbells from 10am-3am. All the while working @ MAC Cosmetics, Bowling with friends, and Karaoke.

As much as I love these shoes, they kill me! Platforms for me at least are supposed to = comfort. But these take a toll on the balls of my feet and actually made my second toe (next to the big toe) numb that I had to give my feet a break the next day and wear frumpy flats (I've been wearing JC Platforms like every single day lately...YES even on my days off). These are super tight around your foot that I actually got blisters on my Achilles heel the first time I tried breaking these in since I kept scooting my foot back to the heel since the front part of the straps were really tight. Maybe I just have to wear them more often?

And if you follow me on twitter, you'll know I also went lighter with my hair. It actually looks a lot lighter than it did when I first got it done. I feel like it's getting lighter and lighter with every wash so I try to dry shampoo as often as possible (as gross as that sounds).

So that night after I closed at work, Jerald and I met up some friends and went bowling at Action Lanes in El Monte. After we went bowling we noticed a Karaoke bar inside the bowling alley so we decided we'd go there. People in there were really fucking serious! Some people brought their own VCD/Laserdisk Karaoke songs to sing to. I was like DAAAAAAAMN!! The wait for Karaoke was really long and like any Karaoke bar, it's basically who you know or if the DJ likes you. I waited 50 million songs before I sang this jam that I've always wanted to sing. Real Love - Mary J. Blige:



As you can tell, I was heavily inebriated by the time I got up there. The background vocals are really loud which is why you'll find me covering my ear at certain points just to hear myself....and when you add alcohol and having the background vocals too loud, you get me singing kinda off. LOL.

Enjoy my drunk dancing singing self.

All Black Everything

I haven't had a real outfit post in some time since most of the looks I've posted on Lookbook, you've seen before and were actually to showcase my designs for Etsy


Nevertheless, I had a really good day on Saturday. It [my really good day] made up for the fact that I work every single day this July 4th weekend. Not only did the AUS Gods bless me (you should feel lucky if you don't know what AUS means), I got officially certified (for my job @ MAC!). It only took me 4 years but I guess it's better late than never LOL.


So the day I got certified I wore this:

- Vintage thrifted leather moto vest

- Swarovski Golf Jet Leather Bracelet

- Vintage Lingerie Top

- Uniqlo pleather shorts

- Coco circle shades J.Faye

- Jeffrey Campbell Suede Mariel Wedges 
- MAC Cherry lipliner & Ruby Woo lipstick (my current fav red lip to complete the [Nars] Orgasm blush, lipstick and concealer look. LOL)

and last but not least my 2 favorite pieces of jewelry to wear to work:

- my MAC pin that I got when I first go hired

- and MY CERTIFICATION NECKLACE! YAY ME!

MAC Cosmetics: To The Beach

 Get excited for the summer! To the beach comes out tomorrow! And MAC Puente Hills is having an event for it! Try on some new colors for the summer.

I got a look already in my gratis, but this is one of those collections where I've got to have extras. On my shopping list I'm picking up these things:

The seahorse highlight is something I love love love

That "Temperature Rising" orange lipliner is one I'm gonna have to pick up 2 of.

In the world of Estee Lauder...

I officially will add Smashbox to the list of discounts I can get under the Estee Lauder umbrella (not that I really have anything smashbox in my current makeup wardrobe).

And...

Disney is collaborating with MAC yet again! According to WWD:

PAGING MICKEY MOUSE: MAC Cosmetics is teaming up with Disney to create a limited edition color collection, intended to launch globally in late September in all MAC locations. The products will feature four Disney characters, on which the brand is keeping mum at the moment — although with a collection name of Venomous Villains, it is assumed that we’re not talking Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse here. Lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades will be sold, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50.

 I'm so excited for update because I saw this tweet from my fav Senior Artist, confirming this news. Here's a teaser.



Loved when MAC did the lip conditioner tints years back. I still have mine...un-touched.
