For Sale: Coastal Scents Undercover HD Foundation in shade "st-04"

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:14:00 +0000

I bought this blindly and after receiving it I instantly knew that this shade definitely isn't my shade. LOL. I'd say st-04 suits people who are an NC25 - NC30, I'm more in the NC30 - NC35 range. =] *SOLD* Foundation looks a smidge dark in this picture, sorry about the that. Crappy lighting. =P Trust me, it should suit someone in the NC25-NC30 range. =P This bottle is practically brand new and I've only...

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:19:00 +0000

Another short but sweet entry. =] Just wanted to show you guys what my awesome bf got me as a gift. =D As the title entails, it's not make-up, clothing, accessory, etc. related. It's related to my major. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'd know my major is Respiratory Therapy... if not... now you know. LOL. =] Many have mistaken my major for being nursing which it isn't, so I just wanted to clarify that....

Haul & Information: Toki Doki Inspired Painting from Lena

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:27:00 +0000

Here's the picture of the painting that I promised! Credits for this picture of the painting go to L (Lena), hence why her watermark is on it. ;) The canvas size of my piece is 8x13" and it cost me around $100. L's pieces are HAND PAINTED on canvas so there is a good amount of work that goes into her work. She will do a variety of other paintings, not just toki doki ones, so contact her to speak to her specifically...

Review: Sigma Makeup SS217 vs MAC 217

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:41:00 +0000

I want to start off by saying that my ABSOLUTE favorite MAC brush is the 217. If I could only have ONE MAC brush for the rest of my life, it'd be the 217. =] The fact that I like my MAC 217 more than my Sigma SS217 doesn't mean it's because the Sigma SS217 is lacking in quality or anything of that sort, it's just not as similar to the MAC 217 as I'd like it to be. These two brushes are VERY similar in many ways, BUT...

Haul: Sigma Makeup Travel Kit in "Nice in Pink"

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:57:00 +0000

I bought this kit from the Sigma Makeup website: Sigma Makeup The kit I bought is the "Nice in Pink" travel kit. =] I really like it. I have ONE MAC SE kit and I like the Sigma travel kit much better than my MAC SE kit. The Sigma travel kit's bristles are MUCH softer than my MAC SE kit's, and the quality is much better with the Sigma brushes (the SE versus travel kit). =] I won't be reviewing them because there are...

If you guys notice any missing entries; it's because I've made ALL posts that have pictures of me WITHOUT a watermark private. So don't go freakn' out. LOL. =P I'm just too lazy to save all of the pictures, watermark them, and then repost them. LOL. Maybe in due time... when I get really bored or something. LOL. But for now, those posts will be unavailable to the public. =P Sorry guys, I'm just tired of people jacking...

FOTD: A Hint of "Lust"

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Wed, 27 May 2009 07:45:00 +0000

Here's the look I wore when I left for Nor-Cal about a week or two ago. It's an earthy look that has a "pop" of bright color to it. =] This is my lazy way of incorporating color into my look without having to think up a color scheme or do a heck of alotta blending. LOL. I can't recall what I used on my face or lips but I know that all of the eyeshadows I used on my eyes were the Coastal Scent Hot Pots. I also finally...

I then used a random number generator from random.org to generate 9 random numbers according to the total amount of contestants I had, so the number range was from 1 to 221. The first 9 random numbers that it generated were the 9 lucky gals! Here's the video of...

If you guys enjoy a good read about all kinds of different topics that most everyone can definitely relate to you will DEF want to check out Raaachem. SHE is awesome. I forgot what it felt like to read stuff that you could relate to (we're talking NON-BEAUTY) and reflect on. When it comes down to it, that's what blogging TRULY is for. When I had a xanga I attempted to write stuff like hers, and NO my stuff was NOT...

So a few (actually... a good amount) of my FOTD pictures have been jacked and placed on a site without my permission. I was initially upset then I kinda figured if they wanna advertise my sexiness, why the hell not?! LOL. I'm totally kidding about that last part btw. No, but seriously. I was kinda mad because they didn't ask for my permission, but in the same sense I was kinda NOT mad because they DIDN'T try to take any...

FAQ: How I Do My Eyebrows & What Products I Use For Them

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Fri, 01 May 2009 06:04:00 +0000

Hi guys! =] It's another pictureless post, but an informative one, so that should somewhat compensate. XP The reason I decided to do this post was because I get these specific questions asked quite frequently, so I figured making a post about it would be more convenient for me & future readers/viewers, should they want to know the same thing. =] So the questions that I get asked frequently are... 1.) How do you...

My MAC StudioFix Foundation Match Is...

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 07:44:00 +0000

NC30. LOL. Ya'll already knew that but I finally got to actually WEAR the MAC foundation this week. LOL. When Jackie & I hung out a while ago, she scooped me up a sample of MAC's StudioFix Foundation in NC30. I've been using it this week & I loved it! It covered well and was a MUCH better match than my Revlon Colorstay Foundation since it has MUCH MORE of a yellow undertone to it. The one thing I noticed about...

FOTN: Sprite!

MissChristiana@gmail.com (Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:49:00 +0000

So I did an FOTN using only coastal scents hot pots as the eyeshadows. =] Some people wanted to see if they were pigmented and I just felt like playing with make-up. I used some of my FAVORITE colors from the the ones I bought. =] So here it is. Oh yeah, it's titled sprite because after I finished the look that's what it reminded me of. LOL. It unintentionally ended up looking very "sprite-ish". LOL. =] Anywho,...
