Dear Beauty Blog

Dear Beauty Blog & Beautiful Beauty Bloggers,

I've missed you SO very much!

My very first MAC Collective Haul (span of 3 weeks, and 3 states)

I feel 100% happy to be typing in this very text box.

I've been missing in action for a few days now for many reasons.

1. Minh's visiting and he is my boyfriend (3rd priority, blogging be 2nd, eating being 1st) lol
I'm just kidding, but we've both been busy packing the rest of his things to ship back to his home.

It costs $50-$60 to sent a 40-50lb box through FedEx..I don't understand my boyfriend sometimes, why doesn't he just buy new stuff! He sent a bunch of random stuff..I got pretty mad! Anyhow, enough about him after my next paragraph about him.

He's been a big sweet heart though, as most of you know my paternal Grandmother passed away a few weeks ago (why I was in LA), and Minh has been helping me put together a DVD & slideshow of her funeral for my family and relatives. We're still finalizing the DVD. It turned out great, I know my aunts and uncles will really appreciate the video, and photo gallery.

2. I've been playing catch up at school! I missed a full week before Spring Break, and I had and still do have lots of work to make up. (It didn't really help that Minh and I constantly went out to the casinos!) We've learned our lesson though. We are down 4 grand (but we did win a total of 9 grand over winter break & 2 weeks ago, so we're still up a lil bit..after our spending habits), but hey..he's leaving Wednesday, and we both won't be gambling at ALL when we're apart so it's worth it? lol, I'm a terrible person. I do not encourage gambling, but I also do NOT discourage you from testing your luck =P
(DSK's Gambling Technique post coming to a DSK blog near you very soon!)

Dead serious about this post too!

3. Minh makes a puppy sad face when he thinks I'm about to blog lol. I've spent almost 3 weeks straight with him ?_? ..lol, just playing~ I've enjoyed every minute we've spent, make that every second we spent together.

We're both currently at my parents house since he's shipping out his car from my parents house (Grand Rapids, Michigan to Vancouver, Washington). The car shipping cost about $700, it's relatively cheap now compared to 5 years ago. Minh loves his car, he named it Diablo ~ beacuse it's a super dark car, Volvo S80 T6, all black, with tinted windows and darker tail lights. I used to loathe the car since it's basically an old person car (when I first met him)! I saw Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles get out of a silver S80 in a documentary..doesn't get more old people than that haha ..well maybe a Buick. But I've gotten used to it, it's comfy and a huge car, I love driving it on the highway especially when I hit the turbo, and VROOOOOOM I got super fast while he's asleep in the passenger side ^_^

I drive a more beautiful car, but not really. I have a gold/tan Lexus ES 300, which I've had since 16. We both really really want to get sexy hot cool trendy young looking sport cars. I mean..we don't have any baggage (right now, knock on wood!!)..I need a hot sports car now. Just so I can drive around and justify my "vroom vroom" noises I make sometimes in the car. Minh thinks I'm a big retard when I start making screeching sounds as if I'm braking or turning really fast. I don't even know why I got off on a car tangent. I'm sorry. This is not a car forum!

But I'm DEFINITELY going to see the new Fast & the Furious on April 3rd (day before I turn 22!!) I just need to recruit some movie goers. VROOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Time for some revealing MAC photos, rated MAC Addict.
I don't really like the title "MAC Addict," but it works for now. I prefer MAC enthusiast, or MAC aficionado, MAC appreciator. What do you think?

Give Steph money & she spends it on mostly MAC...
Well, I picked up Emote & Fafi Quad #1 for some of you girls who missed out when I had a blog sale last.
Who doesn't love the best MAC quad ever? Fafi #1!

EMOTE Blush x 6.. how did I do that? I was really nice to the sales associate & she allowed me to come back later and pretend that I didn't know her and she rang me up again but I had to use my bf's credit card or cash. Of course I opted for the cc.

Several twitters have asked me to hold Emote for them, I'm not having a blog sale for another few weeks, so e-mail nguyenst@msu.edu if you're interested, I only have 2 left. And warning: I'm selling for top dollar (which is also the name of a slot machine at the casino!!)..........

I told the sales associate Emote is highly sought after, and she put 3 away for herself! haha
They're only 2 Emotes left at the CCO in Birchrun (1.5 hrs from my dorm room).

I'm pretty sure she's going to Ebay them lol.
She says she also is only allowed 3 of the same items per day, but she comes to work everyday.
You all know one of MAC best highlight e/s right?

PHLOOF!
I basically hoarded 3 since it was in Emmanuel Ungaro Packaging!!
1 will definitely be put up for sale, if anyone wants it.

:D
MAC MAC MAC!!
Heatherette Smooth Harmony! I've always wanted a Heathrette compact This beauty powder will make me beautiful, I just know it!
Another Beauty Powder (Nordstrom Exclusive Collection)

Mimi asked me to look for the MAC Fafi Makeup Pouch, and I found it!
They had one tote left, but it was almost over $50..I thought that was just too much for plastic. even if it's MAC plastic.
The Fafi Dolls Mimi was looking for! I found them!

Iridescent Powder --I forgot the name, something with Stars, it's very sparkly.
I've never owned one of these before.

Random note (while I wait for my ginormous photos to upload), I think I'm going to start shipping DSK Jewelry through USPS Priority Mail. I just think it will make life easier. They provide the flat rate and the box. I also think it's safer because they're probably less likely to lose a USPS Priority Box say over a bubble wrapped package.

I dunno..I've just been weird, and having dreams about Priority Mail Boxes..
SERIOUSLY, that and slot machines.
Sneak Peek of the Nail Salon Earring Rack haha lol.
I'm replenishing an earring stand at a local nail salon ~about 30 other pairs have been made this past weekend. Stay tuned!

Has DSK Jewelry taken over Steph's mind? Perhaps!
Thank you all for your orders by the way, I appreciate all your support, even though I've been slacking at launching new goodies for you to look at while you surf blogs.

Asides from selling on my blogspot, I also have DSK Jewelry at a boutique, dentist, and several beauty salons. I charge higher prices than I do at my blogspot. I try to keep my prices a lot lower on blogspot for all you girls who are just like me, saving money to buy make up hahaha.
Plus, you all are my blog friends MAC Myth l/s
(I remember reading about Myth somewhere, so I knew it was a keeper)
I just want a MAC lipstick collection, they're so beautiful and last forever!!

I was eyeing this plushglass like crazy when I was in Seattle..now you finally are mine!!!
I paired it up with Lavender Whip in the pic below, what do ya think?
No lashes, just V-ed out eye shadow (MAC Pandemonium Quad)
