MAC "It's A Girl" Lip Bag + Foodies & Good Company

Hi guys! Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. I swear...the weekends always seem to go back so fast. DISLIKE. I started my second class for the summer today, which is Japanese 4 back at my university. Super hot! My car's reading was around 101 at some points when driving back home. Aish. But Japanese is fun. Learning it again makes me miss Japan and Japanese culture all over again. Since the class is only 5 weeks long, we cover two lessons in one day with a quiz and homework due every day as well. がんばれます〜! Must work extra hard this time around...but I was seriously exhausted today (probably because I frantically wrote a paper this morning...SO BAD).

Anyhoo, here's the MAC Cine-Matics lip bag that I uh impulsively ordered the day it was released to the public: "It's a Girl" ($38) I had them order it for me since this one was sold out at the 2nd locations...but yay for free shipping!
Exclusive to all MAC Nordstrom department store locations for their Anniversary Sale. I wanted "Real Drama" at first, but that one sold out so freaking fast. o_o I still like this one though. Unfortunately it's no longer available online. I swear, these lip bags were such hot items!

Comes with a small make-up bag, a cremestick lipliner in "CREME O' SPICE", a cremesheen lipstick in "INNOCENCE BEWARE", and a dazzleglass creme in "IT'S A GIRL." I've worn the lippie already and I like it a lot. It's so pink! Oh yeah, and this was my first MAC purchases and I'm very satisfied. :D The dazzleglass is a bit glittery though, but it's ok. Kinda gives a unique holographic effect. Kinda cool. ^^ Will show you guys swatches soon in a later post!

This past Sunday, I met up with an old friend from elementary school (who's back from spending two years in Korea ^^) to do a little shopping + lunch trip. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. I refrained from buying since...I feel like I've done so much shopping this past month that I felt bad. :3 Instead, I agreed to everything that looked good on my lovely friend at the MAC location of Nordstrom. :D It's what I do best. :P She got lots of awesome goodies though~ I'm jelly. lol

But anyways, we ate at a Italian restaurant which was really nice. Felt so classy and mature...I don't know. It's different from the typical Asian cafe I'm used to going to. :P

I think it was the act of pouring the two bread vinegar dips that made me feel all fancy. keke.

:D

My veggie pizza that I thought I couldn't finish but ended up eating all but two pieces. heh heh. So good!

My lovely friend whom I'm so grateful to have. ^^ (kawaii nails!)

I think this was a tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad?
Looked good too. ^^

Alrighty, here's to a great week! ♥♥ Time to brush up and study my nihongo! じゃね〜!

    I've always wanted to learn Japanese.  My husband is Japanese but he doesn't speak it.  I think I will have to learn for the two of us.  :)

  22. Heh heh, it's The Grove! *high5tomyfellowLAneighbor* :]

    Learning Japanese is quite fun! Ah~ I'm half Japanese and I don't speak it either. heh. Languages always seem to be a bit challenging for me, but they become so useful in the real world. ;] You should learn!
