Hello, my Pretties!
Happy Leap Year! Did you do anything special to commemorate this only-comes-every-four-years holiday? Not I.
But, I do have my Valentine's Day gift to share with you. I know, 15 days late. Oops. That's been me lately, constantly running behind schedule. But better late than never, I suppose.
It's so funny that the sweet-tart always puts my gifts in these little "Chinese food" containers. I love them though. When he handed this little box over, I had no clue what was in it. But I knew what I wanted to be inside!
And when I opened it, what I wanted to be inside was NOT inside. I couldn't help but laugh. For weeks I had been telling him I wanted the Maybelline Color Tattoos. He got the Maybelline part right. Instead, there were 10 Maybelline Eye Studio Color Pearls Marbleized Eyeshadows inside. They were nice but not what I wanted.
I had to tell him. I said, "you got the wrong ones!" He said, "you said the marbleized ones. And I got all 10." I said, "not marbleized, MAYBELLINE!" He said, "oooohhh." I thought it was funny. It was the thought that counted, right? He felt so bad and he told me that he would return them and get the right ones the next day.
I felt bad making him return them. I even went on Twitter the next day to ask for advice. Should I keep the gift he gave me or exchange it for something I really wanted? You all said to exchanged them. After all, he was on the right track.
So, the next day I finally got something I really wanted! As usual, I'm always behind all the rage but who cares? I got them anyway!
In this set, I am really loving the Fierce and Tangy and Bad to the Bronze! So bold!
In this set, I really wanted Pomegranate Punk and Tough as Taupe. A month ago I was going to purchase these two but I decided against it. If I couldn't buy the entire collection at once, I'd wait until I could. That's really a bad idea!
But I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to my wonderful sweet-tart who is always so thoughtful and giving. He will do anything to make me happy. I adore him. He is my favorite person in the world. I think we have a wonderful love story...
Luv & Luk,

Wow just reading your post and seeing what he went through purchasing makeup for you twice really does = LOVE! :) That was so cute of him to get what he thought you wanted and then exchange them! What a great collection of these you have now! I don't own all of them but finally picked up Pomegranate Punk the other day but haven't used it yet. :) I can't wait to see the looks you wear using them! <3 ya!
ReplyDeleteLOL, the sweet-tart is beginning to prove me wrong. He is more SWEET than tart these days. LOL. I might have to upgrade him to sweetheart LOL :) I appreciated all he went through. He even had to go to different stores to get them all! Awwww. I have only used Too Cool for now but I'm anxious to try out the rest. Especially Tough as Taupe and Pomegrante Punk!
DeleteThose are some nice shades. Like you said it is the thought that counts....what a sweetie, lol, even if he did get it mixed up.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, he's a good guy. I can't wait to play with these this weekend :)
DeleteI love the Blue colours xx.
ReplyDeleteThe blue shades are really nice. I don't usually wear blue but I might start wearing it more often :)
DeleteHaha, poor guy :) These are really awesome!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think he was embarrassed but he was really happy when he finally got me the right ones :)
DeleteAw haha poor guy :) That's sweet though! x
ReplyDeleteMy sweet-tart is awesome. I tend to forget sometimes but then he does something sweet like this and I realize how lucky I am :)
DeleteHow sweet of your lovebug :) I love the little box he gave you them in that is so cute and thoughtful. I love how you got every single color! Awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, he always gives me my gifts in these. I don't know why. Maybe because I like Chinese food?? LOL. I'm lucky he found them all. I know they are in high demand. He's awesome the way he always makes me feel special and worth the extra effort :)
DeleteAwe what a sweety!!
ReplyDeleteHe really is. I am too lucky :)
DeleteAwe! That is a tough one. But I'm glad you got what you wanted!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I felt really bad. I was going to keep the other ones. I told him I still liked the other ones but he took it upon himself to exchange them. He's pretty cool :)
DeleteThat was so sweet of him!! My two favorites are too cool and tough as toupe.
ReplyDeleteHe is a sweetie! I have only tried Too Cool but my first love was Tough as Taupe. When I saw the swatches of that one, I needed it! LOL :)
DeleteI really want to buy these, the colors all look so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteI was dying for these. Like DYING! I'm so happy I finally got them. Yay! I hope you get some too soon :)
DeleteThanks guys, for sharing such informative data.
