HELLO KITTY & REEBOK - ALL MINE!

Ya'll have no idea how much I love my new shoes!  I haven't bought a pair in MONTHS and when tha'man showed me these, I had to find a way to get'em only because they're listed on sneaker sites as bein' only available for Pre-Order.

PFFT.

I emailed the info to the homegirl Mayumi and her man David (you know, that dude with tha'supah shoe collection) and she told me that they had it in a store in Yokohama.  Before you know it, David and Mayumi were kind enough to take me there this past Sunday.

I struggled yo... long and hard.  I was only suppose to get one pair but eff man!!!  If it's only available here then what deee helllllll.  It's an investment!!!  RIGHT?!  LOL

Without further adieu, my new additions to the collection:

 

 

 

 

Long story short, I wanted the Hello Kitty figurine you see on the following box... 

 

Unfortunately, when you buy a box, it's hit or miss.  The rep. at the store was nice enough to negotiate with me and told me that I just had to buy a box at the regular price (roughly $4 USD) and if it wasn't the HK one, she'd give me the display case one but I'd have to pay $2.00 more.  Since I was in a f*ck it mood, I went with it.  BUT first, I had to do my lil voodoo with the boxes that were before me.  There were approximately 10 boxes and I decided to pick the third one in the first row (of 5).  As I was opening it, Mayumi was all hype... tryin' to "air" open it with me.  LMFAO.  She is effing hilarious when she gets excited.  Anyway, I opened it up and looky at what I got....

The MYSTERY BONUS Hello Kitty character!!!

My voodoo worked!

 

 

Here's a flix of the Reebok HK hoodie that they had for sale.  Didn't get this because the price of it was almost the same amount as the shoes.  Eff that.  *Sorry for the photo quality, it was taken by my iPhone.

 

I leave you with a photo of some of the shoes on display... fresh.

 

I love my purchases.  So count on seein' me rockin' a pair in CA/NYC.  (^_^)/

XOXO, ~L

Friday greetings from JP ya'll.  Quick post for a recent haul/gift I received last week.  The homegirl Mai was kind enough (after puttin' some FIYAH under her procrastinatin' ass, PUHAHAHA) to get my package to me before my trip!  I ordered concealer and the three brushes.  Along with some other things she gifted to Lil' Man and I, she also snuck in another bottle of Oil Control Lotion and Charged Essence Serum.  Thanks woman!  

Everything MAC.

Oh, and I present to you my new iPhone 3GS.  F*ck tha'box and say hello to my very own wallpaper.  Who can resist the "BIGGIE EYE" photo?!  (O_o)  LMFAO.  Oh well, I can be a supah'star in my own world right?  

 

XOXO, ~L

A special thank you to Nu Nu for allowing me to participate in her contest in July.  This is the first time I've ever won a giveaway so I was pretty happy when Ms. Nu Nu contacted me! :)  You know I love me some MAC and as you will see, this palette is gorgeous.

COLLECTIVE HAUL - MAINLY MAC

Happy Hump Day from JP ya'll. ♥♥

Paid off the Macy's bill and then decided to utilize it again. XD And, I still have one more box comin'...

I got the MAC brush roll and realized that I have only TWO full-sized brushes. Solution? Get more brushes to go with it... Tha'man forced me, I swear!

Closed and secure.

Unrolled.

Some of the new brushes inserted...

Brush 182

MAC Lightful Collection: Active Softening Lotion and Deep Ultramoisture Creme

Other brands...

A must-have eyeshadow of mine - SIN.
It's completely gone from my UD Ammo Palette and that's what I'm takin' to CA/NYC!

OCC Lip Tars - Clear, Hush and Pageant.
I got Clear so I could mix it with pigments for that custom lip color.
Hush reminds me of Fleshpot from MAC.
Pageant is just loud.

I'll swatch and review shortly. :)

Side purchase from a few weeks ago - NEW BOOKS! I need somethin' to hold me off until November 20! XD
