hurr did, interview fotd + haul

The highlights actually came first. I initially wanted to do a light brown color and then highlights but since my hair was dyed jet black my hairdresser said it most likely will not lift. So she just did the highlights. I think it turned out pretty good. So anyway since coming back from California i've been unemployed and have applied to one place only. So my interview went well but there were quite a few of us so I cant really say if I got it or not. Anyway I kept the look pretty simple, just threw on some foundation, eyeliner, blush and lipgloss...and she said she liked it.

Haul;
First thing I got was the Juicy Couture 'Viva La Juicy' Parfume Set at Macy's. It was $95. I love this because it smells very sophisticated and classy. It comes with the Parfume Spray & Gel and body lotion.


Next thing is this faux pearl earring set. Only $4.99 at Ross. The medium sized ones are a perfect size for me.


I got this Revlon Photoready foundation in 006 Medium Beige. I hate how they dont have testers coz I got this shade and its wayyy to light for me when applied on. So this is most likely going straight to my blog sale because its no longer returnable, I would compare this to NC35-37.


The last two things I hauled was this $1000 Queen-sized Pillow Top bed and the comforter set was from Ross for $33.99, It is thee most comfortable bed ever. Im so glad I invested on this instead of another bag that I was planning to get :D

People who live in the Philippines...I need help ASAP!

Or anyone for that matter.

So, I made my very first sale on eBay! Yay me right?! Well it turned out to be a scam as I suspected. The buyer with the username "imbrenstemig" contacted me and told me he/she would like to purchase the item. After giving info about shipping and all that he/she used the "buy it now" feature. I noticed he/she had zero feedback and I was thinking maybe she was just a new user. So I thought using paypal was safe... this person paid me with a total different name and email address, and I was thinking maybe it was her bf/husband (because sometimes I use my bf's account) but at the back of my mind I already was thinking it was something I should be alarmed about. The person im having these email conversations with has a different name from the person it was sent to and the person who paid. I'm pretty much fucked because I am not covered by Paypal's seller protection plan. To be covered I would have to have sent it to a "verified shipping address" and (not or) have to have proof that it was delivered. The proof of the delivery part is probably okay because I shipped with USPS Express Mail with insurance and they would have to get a signature but the other part is what I am kicking myself in the ass for and that I should have been more careful... They buyer didnt have a verified shipping address. I tried contacting USPS to have them stop the delivery but they cant do anything because it has already reached the Philippines and USPS can only recall a package or do anything with the package basically is if its still in US possesion... What I am trying to do now is contact Philippines customs or The post office (the package is being delivered in Pasay City) so I can have them stop from delivery! I've been searching HI & LOW for contact numbers and I am trying to do all this before it gets delivered. It has been in P.I. Customs possesion since the 14th...They could be releasing it very soon. And once it delivers I have no choice but the refund because the credit card holder made a complaint that they didnt authorize the charge... and If the item was worth let's say $100 -$200 I wouldnt be as worried...but this item is worth $700. This person is a true scam artist!

I wore this look to my boyfriend's uncle's wedding last weekend. Nothing big, just family and a civil ceremony. We had lunch at a buffet in a hotel afterwards. I dont do color much but im liking this one. Enjoy!

I need sleep like a crackhead need crack...

It's 6 am and I haven't gone to bed yet. I enjoyed re-reading my old posts (and comments) and have decided to start up this beauty blog again, little by little. Alot has happened in my absence. The last time I posted was Valentine's day (2010)...WOW!
Anyway the boyfriend and I took a vacation to LA, California and absolutely loved it. It was my first time there. I live on Guam, a small U.S. Territory island thats only 30 miles long and 4 miles wide...so you can imagine how bored I am. Hahah! We stayed in California for about 3 weeks and Vegas for a week. Before I left for this vacay...I suddenly decided to sell my car and quit my job. I was thinking about going back to school when I got back.
While I was vacationing I applied to work in different areas just for fun. And landed one in retail...it made me think about moving out to Cali since I had gotten rid of most of my major bills. Exactly one month after coming back from vacay I packed everything and moved to Cali, it was my first time travelling alone so far away from home...my boyfriend had to stay behind because he had our other car to pay off first or sell it which ever came first. He threw me a little Bon Voyage party at a bar and my parents were my first visitors. Before everyone came my parents were giving me that pep talk about being careful and calling them everyday and then...my dad starts to cry, which is rare and im sure its like that for most of you... he was telling me that Im his only daughter and this is the first time theyre gna experience one of their kids being away. And it finally hit me that im gna make my life somewhere else...without my family and friends there...and without my soulmate (for a while). I honestly didnt wna leave anymore after that. But I was also eager to have a new life...
I took a week or two off before I had to report to work and my friends and I drove to the bay and back and did alot of sightseeing that I didnt get to do on my vacation time. It was soooo much fun and I really liked living the independant life...unfortunately I was wayyyy to homesick and especially my boyfriend wasnt there to make things better. I tried to suck it up but ultimately I just wanted to be with him and my family for a little bit longer. Imagine making that big (impulsive) decision in a months time...so I stayed another month in LA and then Marvin flew me back and have been happier since. We still want to do the Cali life but this time together :D That month apart from each other actually made our love deeper and appreciate each other more :D
Its been another month since I got back home and I will be attending school soon. I hope you enjoyed that little update/story... and now I can catch up on the beauty part of this blog.
