BLACK FRIDAY GIFT IDEAS! ELF MAKEUP: TRAVEL-FRIENDLY PALETTE. SANRIO JEWELRY, HAIR CURLER.
Happy Black Friday! It’s time to start shopping for XXX-mas. Here are some cute gift ideas to inspire you!
I travel nonstop, and it’s hell to keep my cosmetics together. Happily, Elf Makeup sent me their mini makeup palette, which has 27 products in an compact, expandable case.
The design’s superb. You get a range of eyeshadows, blushes, lip glosses, bronzers, eyeliner, and even applicators — for a measly $15. Basil Farrow approves.
I like the matte finish of the eyeshadows, with subtle sparkles in the mix. The neutral colors let you match a variety of outfits. If you’re more of a drama queen, you can layer the shades (I used black and forest green to contrast my hair). The lip glosses aren’t sticky or shiny, and can create opaque looks that stay on well. Overall, the makeup kit is a no-brainer (ie, you should get it).
For a youngster, pick up a Sanrio sachet or fan. A sister or cousin will squeal over the bone hair clip. Don’t forget kitty: Basil loves the dangle-light!
Or how about friendship charms? I gave a dear friend one of these heart necklaces, and kept the skeleton bones one for myself.
Skull sweater: Candy Stripper, from Closet Child Shinjuku
Long sleeve shirt with face: Etnies
My Scottish Fold loves receiving packages. This is a good one.
(Wouldn’t the ribbon look pretty around my cat’s neck?)
The ceramic heats up fast; wrap a strand around, and in a few seconds, you have tight and bouncy curls. (Obviously, the curler is not turned on in these photos.)
I clipped my hair to the side and twisted away. Done and done: this iron is my new favorite.
Did you go shopping on Black Friday? What did you buy? And what’s on your wishlist?

I own that ELF palette! I love ELF. Their prices are ridiculous and, for those prices, the quality is good. I don’t like some of their products (like the mascara and eyeliner) but I love all their skin line (foundation etc.) and lipstick.
Ooooh smart lady. :) Yes I wasn’t a fan of the eye pencil but the shadows were excellent.
woow I love your new look :D
I want a pet as lacarmina ‘s cat *o*
awesome! happy black friday (n.n)
I love your blog! and such a great post, once again.

p.s Just a random thought, but I wish I had elf ears.
Thank you dear!!
eheh my Scottish Fold wishes he had ears sometimes too :)
love your hair and makeup. great
I want purple hair. And that exact shade of yours too. D:
It looked really pretty.
Love that sweater!
I liked the makeup tutorial. I love green, so it was perfect. i think more brown-eyed girls should not be afraid to wear green eye shadow. It makes the brown more intense.
It’s a great contrast to purple.
I think you look cute! ^^
your makeup reminds me of Kaya’s makeup :O
want your outfit so bad
Whenever Basil Farrow is featured I always go through the post once just to get the pictures, then I go back to the top to read it again.

Hi again! My stylist would like to know how yours got the purple color for your hair. She keeps trying to get it for mine but it keeps turning out Fuscia or Red. I want a darker plum or Orchid… like yours.
HI! Hmm, she bleached it and used Masque, a hair dye… I’m not really sure, but with bleach and proper color application, it should work!
