It's Here! [Urban Decay Naked Palette + What's in my Weekend Makeup Bag?]

Hello, Friday. I thought you'd never come around. And I'm sure, before I know it, you'd have left my side again.

Just as the sudden influx in posting came last week did it all disappear, like smoke.

I sound like I'm really out of it, huh? Lol.

Well, I'm still breathing.

Let's see what's been up, shall we?

Well, I forgot to tell ya'll that I bought something awesome (or something I'm counting on to be awesome) last Sunday in my Monday post.

I've been hearing a lot of hype over this for a while now and after finding out it's available in Healthy Options, I decided to get myself a tube. There are supposed to be other sizes of this product but the one I went to only had this humungor tube. Cost? 329php. I say for the amount it's not bad. But then again, we're never in it for quantity when it comes to products, huh? It's about QUALITY. I've only used it once before and now I have it on my face again! :D

Gee, I can't even remember what went on this week. As I'm trying to recount the events, I find it more difficult than usual.

Ah, now I remember. (Had to look at my twitter to find out what's been going on. Lol. Wth?!)

Monday I had my 179 exam. Was it difficult? How was it? Idk. I forget. So much has been going on. I got g-cash and blogged. Kind of let PAASCU go then. I went to bed early. I guess I was just so tired then.

Tuesday. Had my PAASCU meeting. Wasn't bad. Class. Blah. Suyen said my Naked Palette was in and I sent the rest of my payment right away. I was counting on it to get me through the week :p I was trying to prepare for my fieldwork the next day.

Wednesday. Fieldwork day. I prepared in the morning, trying hard to memorize, prepare. I was pumped in the morning. By the time I was actually there...? Yeah, not awesome at interviewing yet. I was better with evaluation buuuuut yeah. First time interviewing. Learning experience though :) Hopefully I get better. It's a skill so I guess it would only get better with. When I got home, I wanted to study buuuuuut I had to do my running notes AND had to do my clinical reasoning homework =\ What time did I finish? MIDNIGHT. Goodness :(

Thursday. A whole day in school, even went overtime =\ And you know what's worse? MORE HOMEWORK DUE THE NEXT DAY D:. I didn't get to studying 'til 9pm :( I managed to study around four topics and then I slept because I couldn't keep up anymore =\

But you know what was absolutely GREAT about Thursday?

Dearest Suyen, if you're reading this now, I would like to thank you not just for the palette and the Murad sample... but see this bubble wrap? This humungor bubble wrap? IT KEPT ME SANE. Popping one was like popping the bubble that grew thicker and thicker, blinding me and my nerves. Sweet relief, sweet release came to me each time I popped one of those chubby, chunky bubbles. I only popped less than five, I think. I'm saving the others for the next few weeks. Where'd you get your bubble wrap!? I'm in LOVE.

Yours always,

Mara :p

Haha. I'm serious.

The cards are always a nice touch and when you turn them over, you get a nice surprise! This time it was Murad Clean Scene. I'm excited to use it when I'm done with my L'oreal one. If it's good, might go for that instead. Depends on what works for me :3 Again, thanks for this :)

And of course...

The pictures I took with my phone and Mac don't really do it much justice but I am a happy camper. On Sunday I'll do a look and put up swatches! :)

Lovely.

Then Friday came. Today.

Reviewed as much as I can in the morning and though I should have been panicking, I didn't have the energy too.

And did you know? When you worry, it takes up a lot of your brain and actually blocks out your ability to retain more information! So yeah.

I'm proud I've been keeping my cool this week :)

I got ready and got to school on time and went on with the exam. It was difficult. I really hope I do okay. Oh well.

After that it was orientation for our next fieldwork and the next thing I knew I was on a jeep home.

I spent the ride making this kid (2 years old by the looks of it, male, wait... he's not a patient, wth! Haha) smile and giggle. He'd stare then look away bashfully, stare, then look away bashfully. He was adorable :)

Then I got home, got dinner, got ready to go to mum's because it's the weekend! I always miss her.

While waiting, that's when I decided to share what I've got for the weekend :)

Here's what I've got for skincare/necessities.

And for makeup...

I know I shouldn't pack heavy, and by heavy, take a whole blush palette but I want to use the bottom right most one and I don't have anything similar in single form so, whatevs :p I'm aiming for letting my eyes do the talking and being all soft and whatnot. I'm excited :D

Well, it's been a while since I started. My face is done and ready for rest. I know this is an abrupt ending, haha. For now I need rest and I've been really looking forward to R&R, more time with my family and of course, more time with Miki :)

Tomorrow I do my initial eval as well as plot things to do and whatnot.

Oh yeah... WE'RE BAKING COOKIES TOMORROW.

I'm excited :))

What're you guys doing for the weekend?

How's school?

Guess that's it for now :)

'Til Sunday,

Love muchness,

Ciao!
