Properly Made Up Was Here! (11/4/2010)
But they probably would have thrown me out and banned me from Disney World had I carved that into the wall of the Givenchy & Guerlain shops at Disney’s Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida. They would have to check me into Shady Acres if they ever happens. So, the next best thing was to take a picture in front. *shrugz*
What is up with my eyes? Damn. Anyway, this post is to just let the World know that I had located the place a few were tweeting about months ago. Guerlain is just across the way as well. Two lovely stores! Drool!!!
Spent Halloween at Disney World
Yes, I am back! I spent an entire week at Walt Disney World (my favorite place in the World) in Orlando, Florida and I had a blast! I attended Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom on Halloween and had a super time. The weather was great and it did not rain on that day. We also conquered Animal Kingdom, boozed and ate around the World Showcase at Epcot, did a little at Hollywood Studios and went back to Magic Kingdom again to find my Princess Tiana – and I did!
Also, in the spirit of the MAC Venomous Villains collection that launched a couple of months back, I wanted to show you guys pictures of me with two of four of my favorite Disney Villains…here is Maleficent and I and then Dr. Facilier aka Shadow Man and I at Villains Mix & Mingle…PURE LOVE!!!!! My other two favorites is Yzma and Scar.
And yes, I know I was hella sweating so forgive me for the sweaty pit party going on. I had to run from Walt and Mickey’s statue at the hub over into the greet and meet line and with a huge crowd around it wasn’t easy getting there. Had I known, at the time – I was super excited to pose with them – I was sweating like that I wouldn’t have posed that way. Grrrrrrrr. I have to get this picture fixed and I will.
EOTD, FOTD, OOTD: I wore my Minnie Ears all week – the ears have sequins on them – Divalicious! I was going for a dark, vampy look with purple because it’s my bestie’s, Maleficent, favorite color and I wanted to impress. I wore all MAC shadows (can’t remember what I used) and Violetta lipstick with Wicked Ways lipglass on top. MAC Pro Longwear foundation and concealer…Bite of An Apple blush and NARS Daphne eyeshadow (I needed the darky blue purple for this vampy look), highlighted with Perfect Topping MSF, contoured with MAC Blunt blush, Stila Kajal liner in Onyx…that’s all I can remember for now. I also rocked my diamonds and my Disney Jack O Latern Naughty tshirt. On my nails, Orly Galaxy Girl.
The Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 3 NYC Event
…was a personal success for me. I scored an Urban Decay Book of Shadows Vol. 3 t-shirt and I am very happy about that (my reason for arriving in line at 8:15am).
I arrived in Times Square at 8:15am on August 25, 20010 to get my hands on that Book of Shadows and t-shirt and found a little later that I was #8 in line! How cool is that? I waited – stood in that line the entire time from 8:15 to 1pm. I sipped from my bottle of water here and there throughout the time I was in line. My man brought me a breakfast burrito from McDonald’s to snack on and a Drake’s cake…what? I was hungry and I had no choice, but to eat it. Ha! I made up for it later, by eating all good foods so my diet wasn’t a total fail that day.
My First Time To Sephora Times Square!
I didn’t mean to go into the Times Square Sephora two Saturday afternoons ago, but since we were walking past it I had to go in. I hauled something kind of large. I never bought this much from any Sephora before all at one time so this felt very very good! This store is about three times bigger than any Sephora I’ve been to. Live DJ and all…fun fun fun! I think this is my favorite Sephora now.
Before I get into what I purchased, the prices and swatches (will be posted separately), let me show you some pics of my time at Sephora…I had to pass the MAC store a.k.a. Heaven before getting to Sephora, but I didn’t go in because I had nothing to buy (no interest int he Pret-A-Papier collection at all) – maybe next time. 
I didn’t know that the creator of TokiDoki was in the building so I decided maybe I’d buy something and then get his autograph, but I was NOT about to wait in that line. The line wasn’t that long, but it was moving S-L-O-W as hay. My baby girl was not about to stand in that line with me either plus the World Festival was going on as well so I wanted to get some inexpensive shopping in too! Here is the line and the TokiDoki guy and Sephora rep…I think that’s his name…TokiDoki guy. Ha!
So, we went on inside of the Sephora and I went shopping! I first headed off to the Laura Mercier display because I wanted to see and feel what her Oil-free Tinted Moisturizer I’ve been hearing rave reviews about. I think I like it and will give that a go…soon!
Then I hit up Illamasqua display because I can’t get it at any of the Sephora’s in where I live (in Jersey) and I like to see and feel products before I buy them. I never online shop for makeup ever. Anyway, I fell in love with Illamasqua the first time Richie Nickel showed and talked about it on his Youtube channel and fell more in love after seeing the products in person. The Illamasqua display was a total mess and was clearly abused. I was able to sift through the out of place items and found everything I wanted anyway.
Thirdly, I hit up the TokiDoki display since the creator was there and the place was crowded! The hanging makeup travel bags by TokiDoki were selling out like hot cakes. I think they were priced at $42.00 a pop and I didn’t get one – I wanted a smaller bag, but they didn’t have one. I was able to get a smaller makeup bag from my home Sephora later that same day. This display is new, clean and in order, of course, so no complaints there.
I got all of the items I wanted and then some. Yay! Happy shopping! Last, but not least, I wanted to take a picture with the scary TokiDoki guy and so I did. My baby girl was not feeling him at all and wanted to tell him ADIOS! Ha!
OK so that was the fun fun fun (last time I’m saying fun fun fun) first time trip ever to Sephora Times Square!
