Viva La Pulp!

It has been 20 years of Tarantino! To celebrate this they were showing a couple of his movies in theaters. Seeing that for the past few years I have been wanting to rent a theater for my birthday and watch Pulp Fiction, I had to at least go see that one. Plus it is my favorite movie... after the LOTRs of course,  but that doesn't count lol.
When Pulp fiction was released for the very first time, I was nearly a month old. Being able to see it in theaters this past Thursday was kind of extra special for me. 
The experience was amazing.:D
Before the Movie actually began, there was a small segment in which cast members, producers, etc were interviewed about their experience with the movie. Next there were 3 trailers chosen by Tarantino: Machine Gun McCain, Scarface, and The Killer ( a Chinese action film). Totally cool and mood establishing. This is probably a feature that is going to be on the special edition 20 years of Tarantino box set (above). I cant wait to own it! 
Watching the movie in theaters made me realize a lot of things that I had over looked before. I payed more attention to the smaller details like his usage of time and camera  maneuvers.I won't review the movie in detail, all I am going to say is that if you haven't seen it already you sure as hell should! 


BELOW: Me and Makeup! Lol

Make up Haul! (extended version)

This weekend was crazy in the make up department! Not only was my job busy as can be, but my shenanigans afterwards where just as crazy!

Friday: Like I mentioned in my previous post, this weekend Ulta was giving their employees and extra discount as part of employee appreciation. So I obviously had to rebuild my stash for the next couple of months! This was a good Friday to have the discount because it was Payday as well (obviously done on purpose by Ulta lol ).  But, just to make sure I didn't spend ALL my money I brought along my 16 year old cousin Salma, and she couldn't have been happier.
It was actually her first time shopping for her own makeup, it  honestly was the cutest thing. She kept asking all these questions and it was adorable. I felt like I was walking her through her first steps in to Womanhood or something lol.

That day I collectively (between what I bought her, my other cousin, and myself) bought about $300 worth of beauty products, but only spent about half that. It was amazing!


List of what I bought
Myself: Urban Decay Fun PaletteStila All Is Bright Lip Glaze Set, Eco Tools Bamboo 4pc Duo Eye Brush Set,  NYX Matte Lipstick AlabamaNYX Matte Lipstick Butter, NYX Lipstick Round LaLaNYX Matte Lipstick Strawberry DaiquiriNYX Lipstick Round ThaliaNYX Mechanical Lip Pencil RedNYX Mechanical Lip Pencil Jewel

What I bought and returned:
NYX Pump it up Clear Lip Plumper- I tried it and it burned my lips. It is supposed to make them tingle, but I guess my lips are just too sensitive.

L'oreal True Match Pressed Powder - I just like my Mary Kay loose mineral powder better.
NYX Lipstick Roun Circe & Revlon Nude Attitude Lipstick Very Nice color, it just didn't mix with my complexion. 

NYX Mechanical Lip Pencil RedNYX Mechanical Lip Pencil Jewel - Not the right colors. 

List of what Salma bought: Be. Try. Believe. Love. KitMaybelline Dream- Liquid FoundationNYX Eye Shaadow Palette 10ct Caviar BubbleEssie Mint Candy Apple Nail PolishNeutrogena Lip Soother Gleam GlossNYX Matte Lipstick NudeKeep Me Clean ten o six wipes

Also bought: American Crew Pomade Pucks Xs 3

Saturday: This day  I had to work, and I honestly didn't plan on buying anything anymore. But as soon as I got to work my mom calls and asks me to buy her her favorite perfume. I couldn't say no! So my shift ends and I buy her the perfume she wants, which comes with a free pink polka-dotted robe as a Gift With Purchase! I also sneak this ghetto 100 piece palette in my basket.
After I leave work, I head to my cousin Salma's house because I accidentally took her foundation home on Friday. I get there at 8:30, an hour and a half after I get out of work, and  all I want to do is kick my shoes off and relax. NO SUCH LUCK THOUGH! About 20 minutes after I get there my mom calls me and tells me that my other cousin ( who also works at Ulta) is waiting for me at her house a block away, and that I need to head over there immediately because it is an emergency. After a few more minutes of quick relaxation I get up and leave. When I get to my the "emergency" cousins house the first thing I notice is that there are a bunch of people and also a bunch of food. I greet everyone and go on to find my cousin. She notices that I have a bag full of Ulta stuff and gives me that look, like she knew what  I was up to. She then takes me to her stash and shows me what she bought. Way more than I did! Not five minutes go by when she asks me what time my store closes, so we could go pick up some other stuff. We still had about a good 45 minutes to get there. We made a call and got a ride, I served myself, ate in a hurry, and left about ten minutes later. We got to the store with about 20 minutes to shop. We had to quickly pick what we were going to buy, return what we didn't want... 
Oh!I also forgot to mention we had 3 young, lovely, nosy children with us. We left about 30 minutes after closing time. I felt so bad for the lovelies closing up shop. None the less we got back to her house and we showed everyone what we got and gave out items to the respective owners. Everyone was super happy getting their stuff, but all I could think of was getting to bed and work the next day. I was soooo exhausted. I made it home by midnight and finally knocked out!

Sunday: Woke up with the stomach flu! Had to call off work and all!I hate calling in sick!  It was horrible!
All the adrenaline mixed with the fast eating and the pop and the exhaustion really did a number on me.
Never again lol. 

I am seriously getting tired just blogging about it! lol.
Hope you guys enjoyed the hectic summary of my  weekend dose of make up. Hope to read your comments soon. And if you have any questions  or similar experience on ANYTHING  relate  feel free to ask and share. Can't Wait.
