Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today was a pretty good day.. easy day thankfully in pediatrics (sadly my last week :( then it's back to family practice.. which is sorta the same, 'cept we don't get to see as much pediatric patients as i'd like)..

but after work, i was supposed to go straight to the post office (which i did), then the mall and then the gym.. (which didn't happen) because i forgot my shirt for the gym LOL! i packed everything else but that! so of course i had to go back home.. well my mother-in-law was so happy i was home (my little ones were being a handful for her) and right when i walked in the door - she was like HERE!!! lol.. and gave the girls to me.. mind you i was hungry, and low on sugar and had to change my youngest daughter's poopy diaper.. it was just a hot mess.. i still had to feed them because i came home when she was preparing lunch for them - but was so relieved i was there, just left me to do it.. which i didn't mind cause they are my kiddos ;) and they were sooo happy to see mommy!

so afterwards, i decided i was going to bring them over to my mom's place for her to watch them since she was already watching my niece.. she was delighted! so i dropped the girls off - which i must say they were more than excited when they found out where they were going lol..

so then i drove in traffic to sephora to get a refund on the items that i had got (the too faced liquid foundation & powder).. i kept the primer... i got some samples of the MUFE Face & Body liquid foundation and also NARS Sheer Matte liquid foundation.. gonna play around with that later.. but i did end up just going to MAC and getting the MAC Face & Body liquid foundation from there.. which the MA (who is the g/f of my brother's good friend).. had applied it on me! i was really happy with the results.. and decided to do a test run on it LOL (after of course getting yet ANOTHER BLUSH - MAC Prism)..

I was debating about skipping out on the gym today (i know! bad girl!).. but i was like.. what the hey! get your booty in gear and get to it!.. so i went to the gym and worked out Chest & Back (since i cannot do legs cause my knees are both killing me now).. and boy did i work up a sweat! but yet do i look absolutely flawless! aftter an hour of my workout.. i looked in the mirror.. i did look dewy cause i just worked out and was sweating - yet the make-up was still intact (the foundation/blush she applied).. and it did NOT cake on me!.. i'm just hoping this will not break me out.. so we'll see this week if it breaks me out lol.. either way if it does - im still gonna keep it i think. i really like the coverage..

here's my post workout shot lol - sorry i'm all smitten and happy that i went to the gym and still look good - i normally don't wear makeup to the gym but shoot i wanted to test this baby out! LOL

okay i look like a nerd haha, whateverrr! but i'm happy with the foundation (FOR NOW at least).. we'll see how it goes.. 

Funny thing was, as I was leaving - i saw hubby coming in and he was so suprised and the smile on his face when he saw me was just SO cute :) .. i love him to pieces <3 

anyway this was my workout:

BACK:

Bent-Over Dumbbell Rows (3 sets of 8 reps - 30lbs)

Bent Over Barbell Rows - i did wider grip (3 sets of 8 reps - 50lbs)

CHEST:

Dumbbell Press (3 sets of 8 reps - 20lbs)

Dumbbell Flys (3 sets of 8 reps - 15lbs <-- i'm so weak in this area, gotta work on that)

I did 2 exercises each muscle today, which is fairly alright.. but it was so packed.. anyway.. i'll snap some pix of my new foundation/blush later.. i've got to hit the showers and pick up my little muffins from my parentals!

<3 Khristine

P.S. I haven't forgotten - i've got 2 awesome tags from sweetheart Irene - she's an awesome babe - go check out her blog! that i'll do when i get home and settled.. or heck maybe even later tonight while i put in the laundry lol!

Thursday through Saturday! been busy!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I sort of disappeared for a few days! I got extremely busy! lol.

Just wanted to say yay for me having 25 followers now! when i first started my blog - didn't even think anyone would read my randomness lol.. but yay - thanks everyone! <3

So Thursday - I don't really remember anything much.. all I know is that I ended up injuring my knee during a workout  and had our chief Doctor that I work with check it out. He said I've got Patella-Femoral tendonitis.. recommend that i keep off of it for about a week, and when i'm ready to do some rehab exercises for my legs.. so yea.. it's been a bit painful and especially since the weather has been real cold at night - i hate it lol.. but i haven't worked out my legs since then..

But what I was SO happy about was that my brush guards FINALLY came in! also a couple of other packages I had been waiting for from a swap i had done on MUA and on my blog sale..

Here are some items i got from my swap! 

The 2nd picture - there were SO many extra's i was so excited! I was originally swapping my MUFE HD Foundation for the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner, 2 eyeshadows.. well I guess she couldn't find her Bobbi Brown Gel Liner - so she ordered me a brand new one online and added all these extras with the receipt to the Bobbi Brown gel liner! with extras on there too! :) i'm so excited! she was such a sweetheart!

and On Friday - was a busy day at work.. stopped by the post office during my lunch to drop off some more of the items on my blog sale (yay - still really need to clear out completely though!) and then went to my house to have quick lunch and get my stuff/clothes ready for that nights events. Hubby and I went to the Clipper game (yes I said clippers!) with some of our friends from High School.. it was real fun hanging out with the guys... even though the clippers lost horribly.. fun times :)! after the game we all went to IHOP for some fooood lol.. we ended up coming home like at 1AM after picking our girls from my parental's house..

On Saturday was just a bunch of errands! First I took Tianna to her ballet class which she absolutely loves.. they have a recital this June and so the dance instructor is giving us the material for them to practice to.. i'm so excited to see their costume though! :) it's going to be sooo fun!

after that, went home had brunch (well the girls did).. and we headed over to Glendale Mall because I had to return the foundation that I had gotten last week as it did not work out for me (neither did the samples).. and well it was SO packed.. but I managed to get someone who was actually real helpful this time and actually took the time to sit me down and put make up on me and explain everything, recommend some skin care tips to me etc.. i left and got this:

L-R - Too Faced Magic Wand illuminating foundation, Too Faced Primed Poreless, Too Faced Translucent powder.

The SA was real helpful and so i'm hoping to test out my new products tomorrow for work and see the real test lol ;) She did recommend that i also get a concealer as i'm not getting the coverage i want on my problem areas.. but darn me i was in a hurry i forgot to ask her.. i also forgot to ask her about her recommendations on both a day time and a night time moisturizer as she had said that i needed that. 

my purchase came with a small gift:

a cute little bag/pouch.. mini sample of TFSI and a glitter liquid eyeliner all by TF..

it was funny because as i was at the register, i asked her if they had samples or mini's of the TFSI primer.. and she was like no sorry.. and then after she rang me up - she said oh wow you're free gift includes it! - it was meant to be lol! so i'm excited to try that out because my UDPP is just not doing anything for me anymore.. don't know.. ;)

so after that, we went to our place to get our supplements.. i decided to go back to my chocolate fudge protein shakes from BSN Dessert line.. so i'm happy about that lol ;) 

and on the way home, Hubby wanted to check out the fossil store at the Northridge Mall.. and so while we were there.. i went to stop by MAC to see if they had the 130 brush in stock (I called thursday and they were sold out).. but i got it! and the Ample Pink Plushglass that i wanted that was sold out when I went to the other mac store lol..

I still would love to try their new "Too Fabulous" line.. been eyeing them! we'll see - hope they don't sell out! need to sell my stuff on my blog sale before I can get something else lol! AHHH! lol..

anyway.. Jasmyn - my youngest would NOT go to bed last night.. she was up from 2am til 6am crying and babbling - i had no idea what she wanted.. so i let her lay with  hubby and i.. and of course the positioning of my body was not very comfortable LOL so i did not sleep until 7AM today lol.. and got a text from Karen asking if i was getting ready for the gym lol yikes! im gonna go later today because Hubby went right now.. 

I think i'll do a quick easy eyeshadow tutorial as requested by just a handful of people ;) I haven't been doing any tutorials lately, because i've been feeling really poopy in my eyeshadow applying skills lol.. i feel like i really suck and shouldn't be showing anyone how to do makeup if i can't put it on myself lol.. AHH.. well whatever ;) i think i'm going to do a look using makeup for those on a budget! :) well the eyeshadows at least ;)

till next time! (if you have any requests or anything you'd like me to do on my next video or video ideas for me - i'd appreciate it!)..

Quick Gym Session last night & Wednesday's FOTD

I ended up doing a late night gym run Tuesday night with my mother-in-law! lol! :)

She of course didn't lift weights like I did, but she did her cardio thang..

So for yesterday's gym session I did:

Legs:
Bulgarian Lunges (3 sets of 8 repetitions with 15lb dumbbells in each hand)
Barbell Squats (olympic bar + 25lb each side - 3 sets of 8 repetitions)
Good Mornings (50lb Barbell  3 sets of 8 repetitions)

Arms:
Seated Dumbbell Curls (20lbs each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions - really struggled with this for some reason bleh)
Hammer Curls (15lbs each hand - 3 sets of 8 repetitions)

 I did NOT sleep AT all last night because I had SO much on my mind about these tax thingies LOL.. i'm SO tired today was dizzy from being so sleepy all day today i know for sure i'll have a good nights rest. I think i'm going to do quick shoulder exercise and do about 15 minutes of jump roping in the garage tonight.. take an ambien and call it a night (gotta wait til 9:30pm til the little ones hit the hay!)..

and last but not least.. Ever since i've been training in pediatrics - i've been so tired and in a rush that i've only just been putting my hair up in a messy up-do and not really doing makeup lol..

although i was tired as heck from not sleeping - i was able to freakin fix my hair sinc ei was up since the crack of dawn and thanks to my sweet co-worker Iris - reminded me we had an early staff meeting (boo!) lol.. so i did my hair and well i wanted to wear my contact lenses since i never get to! lol.. and light makeup using my new eyeshadow "Twinks".. lol..

I never know what to call my FOTD's lol.. but this was the look I had for today.. I'm wearing green baby phat scrubs lol ;) :lol: (i always do my FOTD while i'm getting ready for work! - i would love to wear falsies but never have time to put them on!) I just bought Twinks over the weekend and wanted to try it out :).. Any CC's are welcome - as i'm always trying to improve! I just wanted a simple look today :) 

Face: Cosmedicine Medi-Matte (only on t-zone) 
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base (on nose and inner cheeks) 
MAC Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage 
Laura Mercier Oil Free Liquid Foundation in Sunny Beige 
MAC Dollymix on cheekbones 
NARS Deepthroat on Apples of cheeks  


Eyes: 
UDPP 
"Lid" and "Brow Bone" Color from Maybelline's Chai Latte Quad 
MAC Twinks  
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero 
Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous in Very Black  


Lips: 
MAC Hug Me lipstick 
MAC Cranberry Lipliner

So for sure I really DO NOT like the Laura Mercier Oil Free liquid Foundation.. it just does not mesh well with my dry cheeks.. and staying power isn't that great for me.. all it did was just make me cakey looking (ugh!)..so thank goodness I didn't purchase it and just got a sample of it (what a waste of $42 would have been!)


I am going to try the MUFE Mat Velvet sample tomorrow and see how it goes.. going to make sure to moisturize my cheeks though as i heard it could be very drying.. so we'll see.. I was going to return the Clinique's Even Better liquid foundation.. but i'm going to give it another try.. one more day (because i don't get to go back to Sephora until this Saturday cause i gotta take my car to get an oil change and the mall is down the street from the car dealership)..


I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation and powder.. so .. yea :) any recommendations?


Also i'm really liking the L'Oreal Primer.. it really does blur/hide my pores! love it! should do a review on it.. i actually need to do a review on a lot of things! never have the time anymore.. but i'll try!


i really want to do a quick tutorial for yall though on a simple look .. just thinking of colors to do lol.. and of course the time to do it..


:) alright everyone - that's it for today!

Monday No Funday

Yes another Monday.. But it was rather a hectic day (as usual) in Pediatrics.. I think i'm doing pretty swell! I do love working with kiddies! it's real fun!

I am rather tired - I spend 45 minutes of most of my lunch time standing in line at the post office sending off things from my blog sale/swaps from MUA/MUG..  and barely had time to eat anything.. ended up going to 7-11 and getting a rockstar and tuna on wheat bread sandwhich.

Okay.. SO today, I tried out the Clinique Even better liquid foundation (it looked great on me yesterday during my mac run lol).. but I guess it didn't look so hot after putting my MAC sheer pressed powder to set it.. I turned dark/sunburnt LOL.. and blotchy! (omg my neck was nasty! LOL) it made me look like i was dirty/had a mustasche.. of course this, i found out when I was already at work and someone was like.."your  face/skin looks different".. meaning (WTF happened to you LOL!)..

don't know if you can really see, but the picture on the left you can see the blotchiness and my neck LOL.. and on the right picture it was dark in some areas.. :) I love my Hello Kitty Scrubs (comes useful when working with children i must say!).. And oh that was my FOTD LOL (well my eyeshadow - i've been wearing a lot of purple lately :))..

but shoot I don't know what to do.. I recently posted a thread on Specktra.com (HERE) about my liquid foundation seach/powder foundation search.. and got a lot of replies initially about the liquid foundation.. but now that i've turned orangey/dark with the powder.. (but i normally always wear foundation then set it with powder cause i just have to for my oily t-zone).. so.. i'm thinking maybe i'll try it again (the clinique) by itself.. and see how that goes.. I must say the Cosmedicine MediMatte i put on my t-zone and i was not oily/shiny! (i put that under my l'oreal base then put the MAC prep + prime skin base visage on top then the clnique - just on the t-zone though).. 

Any of you Oily t-zoned/dry cheek/nose gals have an HG foundation/powder to recommend? I was so into the MAC studio fix til i started breaking out (as you can see in the freakin' picture dangit!).. 

Anyway - I'm WAY overdue for any kind of YT Video or tutorial LOL.. any requests? could use a suggestion or two.. lol ;)

alright everyone.. it's lala land time for me (well after i put my 2 year old and 3.5 year old - weird saying that! to bed..)..
