Adore Alice

I hate how my bed sheets are always wrinkled!
Alice in Wonderland Nail Set : $12.50 (I couldn't get myself to pay $8.50 / full size when my mom gets 50% off!) I'm going to Michigan tomorrow so I can't wait to go shopping with my her.

Hot Tool 2" curling iron, reg. $47, on sale! $29! <--been needing one since I left my good one to my sister & mom Urban Decay Book of Shadows Alice Ed. $52 Been dying to own it! Just cause I wanna be cool lol

I guess I will try it out tomorrow or when I get back in March : )


I just love the colors to this palette. That's why I felt that it was worth the fifty bucks
Look at all the pretty colors! I love each and every one of them!
Better value than MAC!
I hope to try it out tomorrow, or else I'll have to long for it from Michigan.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder!

From Left: Absolutely Alice, Thanks so Muchness, Off with Her Red!, Mad as a Hatter

I used Thanks so Muchness (love the name!)
I kind of half-assed my nails today. I had on an OPI blue..haha it stained my nails so bad.
I was too lazy to file and buff. I just put the new nail polish on straight up without a base!
It reminds me a lot of OPI's famous "I'm really not a waitress"
But it is a bit more red in this photo. I'm not loving it, but I don't hate.
My skin color just doesn't look great with red, pink and peaches are better for me.

Isn't the little bottle just darling?
Seche Vite, I honestly picked it randomly at Target! lol
I bought that and a Sally Hansen top coat because I needed a top coat for an art project.
I find that it dries very quickly, and it seems to be getting great reviews on blogger & youtube.
I don't find it to be super glossy or shiny though. Nothing beats the top coat my mom uses at her nail salon. Now the question is...what brand is that? lol she buys it in a huge glass bottle and distributes them in the smaller ones. I definitely need to snag one to bring back to WA.

;D

Minh & I toured another luxury apartment today and it was not even luxury! The only "luxury" part is probably luxury pricing! The appliances were pretty standard, although the area was very nice. In the heart of Bellevue. I think we're both set on the Metro Towers since it's literally the building next to Minh's work.

Tomorrow is the super bowl! I'm glad I'll be able to watch it! It starts at 3 or 3:30pm here.
West Coast! : )

My flight is at 11pm, so I'm planning on going to the airport around 9pm, or 9:30pm.
I hate flying, but seeing my family again will be so worth it!
Plus, my ticket was free (yay frequent flyer miles). : )


They're rarely ever stacked, but since I'm leaving them for a while ~ I thought I'd clean up a little bit around the work desk.
Bye my Swarovski Collection!

  1. Yes, I have love for DSK! LOL!

    OMG... I am green with envy right now. I want everything in the Alice collection! What a great haul! Haulin' -- ballin'! Ha ha ha!

    Yeah, Avalon apartments have disappointed us, too. I heard the management at their Redmond location can be kind of difficult to work with. I know you were looking in B-town, but since it's the same company, eh...

    Stay safe and enjoy your trip! No working! ;)

    xoxo

  3. Awesome haul! You can't go wrong on Urban Decay palette!

    I want to get my hand on those nail polishes the "Thanks so Muchness" looks so vibrant! Although the Mad as a hatter looks similar to one of the shades I already have from OPI also.

    Good luck on finding a place!

  22. omg im sooooo jealoussss. i want the alice and wonderlandddd

  23. I couldn't decide whether to get that mini Alice set... hmm. I haven't gotten the UD Alice palette and I really wasn't planning on it but your post makes me want it now! hahaha

    Blue and green polishes *always* stain my hands. Sigh. I usually just wait a couple days till it naturally wears off. I wish I didn't have to do that, though. :\

    Have a great trip home!

  24. How cool. I bought the Alice makeup set over the weekend! :D I thought the sparkle was beautiful on most of them! :) I usually don't use Urban Decay, but I have a good feeling about these colors. They do look amazing. :D Just on looks, one of my favorites is definitely Vorpal.
