Today was one of my off days, so after bumming around the house for awhile, I decided to head to the local mall! I ended up spending most of my time inside of Dillard's - an 'anchor store' at the mall 5 mins from my house! It's very much like a Macy's...lots of fashion, cosmetics, homestuffs and the like. I found the most beautiful Waterford Bone China Teacups on sale for 70% with an extra 40% off!!!
Cute little Seahorse logo
This one is called "Ballet ribbons"
...and this one is called "Ballet Jewels"
Kind of a random purchase - but they are so pretty, elegant & ladylike...I might just start a collection! :D
It seems like all of Dillard's is having an EXTRA 40% OFF sale this week! This includes Cosmetics!!! I kind of went crazy because I have been on the lookout for new smokey eye colors since I can't seem to find my favorite MAC smokey eye paletteanywhere ;_;.
One of the lovely lady bloggers I follow mentioned how much she adored TheBalm's Shady Lady Palette! I was thinking about buying the palette but I freaked out when I saw the individual shadows on sale at Dillard's for a fraction of the original price!!! (If you are near a Dillard's, swing by and check it out!) I swatched all the colors on my fingertips - SUPER pigmented, shimmery, soooo pretty! Plus, the darker shades can double as liners - which is a nice option. Alongside the shadows, another sweet girl (who possibly dropped by at the sight of me furiously digging through the shadow bins) suggested I try the "Hot Mama" blusher/shadow by TheBalm as well...supposedly, it's somewhere in between NARS "Orgasm" and NARS "Deep throat" ... can't wait to try it out!!!

Hard Candy Rock n Roll palette is going back to Wal*Mart. I'm holding onto the High Maintenance though.

They were sold out of the Korres Lip Saver Roller -- 3 pretty lip butters for the price of 2!!! Good deal...but all gone ;_; All the colors I want too! Eki has a nice review of the lip butters here.
However, I was able to swatch some of the blush colors from the New Tarina Tarantino line I mentioned awhile back. I reaaaallly liked the Parasol blush - so it came home with me.
The packaging is too cute!!! I love how the compact is nestled in a little pink organza pouch!
♥ I will review ALL of these + swatches soon! ♥

Oh my thats me! O_O
The teacups are so adorable. I would love to see pictures if you decide to start a collection.
I'm super excited that you picked up a tarina tarantino blush, I've been pretty curious about her new products and the packaging is so hard to resist. I can't wait for your review and swatches of it. The color looks gorgeous! I sound like a kid in a candy store, so giddy :D

@ Susie - haha tea party for 2!!! :) I love tea, but not late at night = caffeine overload HA! >_<
@Samantha - Yes, that is indeed you! I loved the tutorial...and if I'm in a glamourpuss mood, I might brave it sometime next week! I'll let you know my thoughts on the new TT blush ~ I'm a bit worried it's like every other blush I already own...at the very least, it will look pretty on a vanity!
@Jessica - Nooooo you make me want Korres Lip butter even more! lol. I'll be reviewing the TT blush soon, it looks really pretty on the swatches, I just have to see how it looks on! :)
yeah, dillard's was having a crazy crazy sale! I saw those balms but most I saw were damaged! :( i almost wanted to get the nono hair remover until I tried it and it burnt my arm. I ended up getting a bunch of korres stuff.
