You guys know how I've been saying that I have a spending problem? Well, I went through all the makeup I've bought over a span of eight weeks and it's not good my friend. Even I let out a loud gasp when I gathered everything. It's so bad that most are still in their boxes! And what's stupid is I can't stop buying! I keep telling myself, "This is the last time...I have enough..." And then something shimmery or sparkly catches my eyes and next thing you know I'm whipping out my credit card yet again.

Like last week, I told myself I wasn't interested in getting anything from MAC's Hello Kitty collection. I really wasn't feeling it. And then while walking around at The Bay to look for baby stuff, we passed by the MAC counter and I noticed that they had the ever-so-popular HK Pink Fish tlc! That was really all that interested me, to say the least. As I was walking up to the counter I saw Jun roll his eyes like "Here we go again." Lol. I looked at it, and then swatched some blush here, wiped some eyeshadow there...and about ten minutes later, I'm walking away $200.00 poorer. I'm terrible I know. Thankfully, I wasn't at all interested in the eyeshadow palettes. I've actually calmed down on the eyeshadows. Although I have been wearing eye makeup lately, I know for a fact that once baby is here I'd be lucky if I can even wash my hair nevermind do my makeup. And a lot of eyeshadows are dupe-able anyway. But I will forever be a blush girl! I just looooove blushes or anything for the cheeks really. So that's why I decided to get both blushes from HK.



Bought some brushes as well. The m/a said that they're discontinuing the 182, that was really the only reason why I bought it. Oh and I must've had a horse's shoe up my butt because I picked up the last HK Pink Fish tlc! Waahaa!



To be quite honest, I was more excited for MAC's Sugarsweet collection than the Hello Kitty collection. Picked these up yesterday and I might go back for the other shadesticks.





And after 20 years of living in Winnipeg, I recently just discovered that we do in fact have a Shoppers Drugmart Beauty Boutique! When we drove passed by it downtown, I was like, "No way!" Jun thought I witnessed someone getting stabbed or something (downtown Winnipeg sucks), but as soon as I said the word 'makeup' he stepped on that gas pedal like nobody's business. Hahahaha! But all I had to do was make my "I'm going to push out your son in just a few short weeks and will have to endure the pain of childbirth for the second time..." look and I was in that store with a smile the size of Texas. Lol. Walked out with these lovelies...



I've always wanted to try some of Benefit's stuff, but Sephora.com didn't ship their line to Canada for some reason. Some restriction rules or whatever. So I went nuts when I saw that Shoppers Drugmart had a huge selection of their line. Oh and I bought my very first Smashbox makeup. Their line doesn't really grab me for some reason, but when I swatched that blush on my hand, it had to be mine!



And here is the Mother Haul from Sephora.com. This is definitely the last of my online ordering days from Sephora because I will just wait out whatever urge I have until the first Sephora store opens up here in the city in May.




Where all the evidence hides.


Seeing all of this layed out in front me has made me realize...holy shit woman! You need to stop! I don't even want to think of how much all this cost. A part of me wishes that baby will come sooner so that he can occupy all of my time and I wouldn't have to think of makeup for another long time.

And speaking of baby, his room has finally been painted. His dresser is being delivered today. We've decided to use a cradle first because then I can just have him next to our bed at night. We'll worry about what he's going to sleep in once he outgrows his cradle. And I'm not sure if we want a glider. I am planning on breastfeeding and it would be nice to have a glider, but we are so tight on space right now, where would we put it?

Gosh. So many things to buy, so little time! We still need a car seat, stroller, diaper pale, clothes, etc...

HELP.

I often joke with Jun about how he has another girlfriend hiding somewhere. Although when I joke, I say it in a serious tone. But he knows I'm only joking. So today when we were eating lunch together in the kitchen, he was complaining about some pain he was feeling near his pelvic area and I couldn't help but respond with, "Maybe you need to lay off humping your girlfriend for a bit." Lol. And his response to that was, "Having you is expensive enough. I would need to rob a bank in order to keep another girlfriend happy, so no thanks."

Haha. I guess he's right.

I just ordered my very first Hunter rain boots and a pair of Hunter fleece socks to go with it from Get Outside, which set me back...actually no. Correction — which set HIM back $185.00 cdn. I was feeling a little bit bummed about myself today because of my weight gain, so I needed something to cheer me up. I still haven't told Jun about the purchase, but I'll just leave that job for the Fed Ex guy.





Boots $119.00 Socks $39.00 = $185.00 cdn including shipping


I really wanted the red boots, but the site didn't have it. I settled for green because I remember seeing this one lady with the same green Hunter rain boots when I was working for Harry Rosen and I thought they looked really cute and different. Can't wait to get them! These will be perfect for the very wet Spring season coming up ahead when all this snow melts.

And I'm still waiting on my red Crumpler 5 Million Dollar bag from Vistek, which is sadly on backorder for who knows how long. They said 2-4 weeks and I'm only passed the 2 week mark, hmph. I hope it comes soon because I hate lugging around my D90 in my non-camera Lacoste bag. I'm so scared of banging it around by accident.



$85.00 cdn shipping = $98.00 cdn


And then I ordered this charging station from Overstock last week. Hopefully I get it soon.



$65.00 cdn shipping = $98.00 cdn


I've been in search of a charging station for a while now because I'm just so sick of tripping over all these cords every night near our bedroom door where Jun has a habit of charging his iTouch, Blackberry, and his work phone all at once. And on top of that, I have my Nintendo DS and Blackberry to charge in that same outlet. Not only is it annoying, but it's gotten dangerous for me and Chei, too. So I can't wait for this thing to get here.

And last but not least, I'm waiting on my desk and drawer unit from Ikea for my new iMac =)





Desk $79.00 Drawer Unit $79.00 = $225.40 cdn including shipping


I opted for something simple and non-bulky like our old computer desk because I needed something that will easily conform with our new decor when we move into our future home, hopefully before baby arrives in May. This desk and drawer unit could easily be painted whatever color I choose later on.

By the way, it sucks balls not having an Ikea in this stupid city. Shipping via Fed Ex would have cost me $80.00 cdn and the items are only coming from Calgary which is only two provinces away! So I chose to have it picked up from a terminal nearby for only $42.00 cdn instead. But apparently, we'll be getting an Ikea in 2011? Or was it 2013? I forget. But it's been officially confirmed by the people of Ikea and it is not a rumor this time! Haha! So take that, Regina! Lol. Winnipegers are so sad. Including myself.

Damn. Looking at this list, I spent about $100 in shipping costs alone. Wtf. Not gon' spend for another little while. At least up until March when I start my baby shopping =D

EDIT:

And I just ordered this for Chei. I couldn't resist, it was too cute to pass up! And it was only $50.00 from Browns.



Love it!


Okay, going to bed. And freezing my credit cards in the fridge.

I just placed an order for this...



Haha.  Yeh, there's the hint that I haven't been doing good with my whole gym routine.  I went from going 3-4 times a week to once a week.  I was doing good until Jun started this part time job which had odd hours.  He would sometimes go to work at 8am and come back at 1pm, then his boss would call him a few hours later and have him work another 3-4 hours.  And since he needed the car for that, I'd have no way of getting to the gym.  So the only time I could really go is on his days off.  I can't stand going to the gym only once a week.  I like to have that constant routine so my body doesn't go into "settle" mode, otherwise I lose the motivation and I get lazy.

Anyway, I wanted to try this out.  It's called Lipo in a Box.  I was going to order Spanx, but I remember reading reviews from people that said it would roll down and so, no thanks.  Lipo in a Box was featured on Oprah twice...and so was Spanx, not sure how many times though.  But I thought I'd try the former since I read more good reviews on that.  

I'm going to be attending two formal events this Fall, which means I'll be in a dress and so I need all the 'body' support I can get.  *sigh* I remember the days when I looked like a total knockout in a wrap dress.  Now, I just look like a knocked out, overstuffed sausage in a wrap.

Looking forward to trying this out.  The one I ordered (pictured above) is called the High Waist Brief.  $40 + $20 for shipping internationally = $60 usd.  Not bad I guess.  Definitely a lot easier on the pocket than an actual lipo.  I'm hoping that the size I ordered (Small) won't be too big.  I was going to choose XS but someone had said to go a size up so that you can get into them a lot easier.  If this is as good as the reviewers said they are, I'm going to order 1 or 2 more =D

And later on today, I will be headed to the mall to grab the Spiced Chocolate Eye Shadow quad from MAC.  I've been wanting a a neutral quad for so long, and this looks like it could be it (I hope).



I think that's all I want from the Cult of Cherry collection.  I'm going to steer away from buying anymore lipsticks/glosses because I already have so many that I barely use.  I want to try to at least use some of those up before I buy anymore.   See? I do HAVE control!

And speaking of having control, that is what Jun and I fought about last night.  It's not so much that he said I have no control over my spending habits, it's the fact that he embarrassed me by announcing it to my family.  It's one thing to get mad at me about money in the privacy of our own home, but when you freakin' get mad at me about it in front of family, that's so uncalled for! He knows me, I'm no drama queen.  No matter how pissed off he gets me, whether we're outside in public or at home with family around, I will NEVER EVER show that I am angry knowing that there are other people around.  One, I think it's rude for a couple to fight in front of other people.  Doesn't matter if they're family or not, you're still putting them in an uncomfortable situation.  Who the heck wants to sit around while you two fight over money?? And two, other people don't need to know about your marital problems.  That's not any of their business.  Yah yah, I'm sharing it with you guys on a blog that could well be read by anyone, but I really could not care less at this point because apparently, he doesn't give a shit who knows about our problems! So why should I? Ugggggggggh!

So I have no control eh? Okay.  I'll show you NO CONTROL.  And I will make him pay for it.  LITERALLY! The mall may not be open 24 hours, but the internet is! Muahahahahaha!

Yes, I am well aware that I am being immature.  But I.dont.care!
