****GET READY FOR THE PIC HEAVINESS! I Couldn't choose. lol.
please pardon some of my zits, my face is recovering from the terrible thing differen did.

As I mentioned in my previous blog, i had a massive splurge.

I also received my naked palette today from ULTA!!!! LOL i got 2 day express so I can receive it on friday! hahaha!! I finally got my hands on this baby!! I've been wanting it since August, but it was sold out!!! Then I told u my store on my other post about it.. and IT WAS IN STOCK AT ULTA.COM!!!!!!!! woo hoo!! I will definitely try out this palette tomorrow! I've heard a lot of great things about it! The only e/s I have from UD are the deluxe shadows.. and 3 other ones.. so these colors are new to me. YAY!!! Happy!! This was suppose to be my Christmas wish list, but I got it early for myself. I need to treat myself a lil, i've been doing pretty well in school, and it's rather surprising to me of the grades i'm getting!! so this is my treat to myself!
















In addition to my other hauls, I also bought some makeup books and photography books from Amazon. I wanted to look at these books for inspiration and to teach myself more about makeup and beauty.

okay.. soo I've been saving a lot of money lately and haven't been buying much of anything but the necessities such as groceries and stuff.. So i decided to go on a big fat splurge with the money i've saved! LOL!!

I got an external flash for my camera! I'm going to learn how to use this baby!!









without flash




with internal flash. (pop up flash that comes with the camera)








with external flash






it totally fills in the shadows and looks a lot professional. i still need to learn a lot and teach myself the basics.

After watch almost all of Pixiwoo's videos, I instantly wanted that Bronze Universal, by Chanel. What stopped me for a lil while was the $50 dollar price tag. This week when I was at back at my apartment in Oakland.. I could not wait for Friday to come so I can buy it. We have a Chanel counter near our house, so I was planning on picking it up when I got home.. But I had no patience.. I kept hearing ppl say it might be limited edition.. bla bla bla.. so My very very Kind boyfriend went to the Chanel Counter on Thursday and got me this bronzer!!! How freakin' sweet! I sent him the picture of what I wanted.. and he just showed the picture to the lady. LOL HOW CUTEE! He definitely had the balls to do this for me! Most boyfriend's would be like.. hell nah.. because they don't want other guys looking at them and thinking they're gay.. but my boyfriend said he didn't care because it was for me. That touched my heart. I love you boyfriend! You're the greatest!!

By the way, the name is not Bronze Universal anymore, they changed it to Soleil tan de chanel. But it's the exact same thing.

I haven't tried it yet because I wanted to take pictures of it first before I damage the little swirl on it! LOL!! So I'm going to try it tomorrow to see what the hype is all about! For now, here are pictures and a swatch. I heard that it won't show on some people as a normal bronzer, although it really is a bronzing makeup base.. but if you're light enough you can just wear it as a bronzer. Hopefully i'm light enough. I'm getting lighter since summer ended.. :/ lol!! Usually in MAC i'm and NC 35. But I don't wear mac foundation anymore because makes me break out like freakin crazy! Probably during the sumer i was an NC 40.. but yeah.. just for reference..










Comparison of the size
MSF..








they say it's matte, but i see little shimmers in there.. maybe when you a apply it on it's not really visible.


SWATCH! My hands are darker than my face.




It's 48 DOLLARS!! lol! we'll see tomorrow and the following days if it's worth every penny.
