Hello Kitty + Sephora….

Has got to be the @#$%ing best collaboration ever. And, I must also be the @#$%ing last person to know about this. Considering that Hello Kitty is in my roots, and that we share the same birthday (Nov 1. Mark. It. Down.) I should be the FIRST to know. Right? Right.

Embarrassment from being out of the loop aside, I love this line. It’s like Hello Kitty for MAC – without the edge. But unlike Hello Kitty for MAC, I’m making sure I get my hands on the shit I want… before it becomes the shit I wish I had.

Like what? Like the brush set. Apparently the brushes suck, but the case? Too cute to not have. And the compact. And hand held mirror. And the perfume…. bottle. And nail polish… bottle. And.. all the packaging. Cute packaging and manipulative marketing makes me weak. Does anyone know if the quality of this line is actually good? Oh well, like I care.

Sephora in Richmond Center already has few of the products, but I heard Sephora in Pacific Center Downtown will be releasing the line early this week. BAM. I’m there.

So what does your kitty desire?

XO,

“Benefit Erase Paste is a concentrated, creamy, blendable concealer that instantly brightens and camouflages all-in-one. It has an innovative formula which makes sure signs of stress and fatigue are a thing of the past. These three brightening neutral shades give every gal correction perfection.“

Average Rating on Sephora: 4/5

I’ve left the world of MAC concealers and switched over to Erase Paste by Benefit. When I first tried this, I was surprised by the consistency of it. Erase Paste is not as ‘hard’ as a lot of other concealers I’ve tried. It’s much more ‘liquidy’  while still being thick enough to provide the right amount of coverage. Yet, it’s not heavy. It goes on smoothly hasn’t left any area looking caked on or dry. I guess paste is the perfect way to explain it.

The concealer comes with a mini spatula and a small booklet to teach you how to use it for under eye coverage, Marionette grooves, and other imperfection spots.

I’m actually quite impressed with this. It’s good in my books!

XO,

Another vacation to Los Angeles has ended… and I’m back in Vancouver where the air is clear and crisp. Ahhh!

I’m super tired from this trip – cramming in all the shopping and activities there are to do in LA over the span of a few days keeps you going, and going and going. Like the energizer bunny.  It’s true – we all need a vacation after a vacation!

Hi Baby :)

imu bean!

Press here. And here. And here. In case I mess up.

sleeping bean

To most I’m Bunnie;
To one I’m bean.

Bunnie? Bean? Doesn’t matter to me.

Sweet pink notes
make me take off my jeans.

Poetic. Hah ;) I’m obviously sweeter.

XO,

PS – All it takes to make a girl : ) is a sharpie and some post-its. It’s just THAT easy.

Or should I say, Birthday RABBIT?

Nah. I’m never growing up. Besides, Bunnie sounds so much cuter than hey, Rabbit!

♥ november 1st

Okay so my birthday passed almost 2 weeks ago but I’ve been… too lazy so busy with everything. I’m sorry but I’m really important ya know? ;)

. . .

I visited Sephora to get my set of {free} birthday lipglosses. I love free! And of course, I picked up a little this and a little that as well… although I promised myself I wouldn’t spend before my trip to LA. Oops, I did it again.

It’s tough not to spend when you see something you really want, but why not treat yourself now and then? Sure, something like a Seventy-seven Diamonds order or a new hairstyle is a big treat, but if you’re not due on holiday anytime soon, there’s no reason to scrimp and save like there’s no tomorrow….

Oh well, what the hell. It’s my birthday!

Double sided eye brightening stick in gold - one side for your eye’s inner corner, the other for the outer. Use the frosted side (right) on the inner corners for instant brightness, and the matte side (left) on the outer corner for an instant lift. The matte is also great for lining the bottom of the eye!

Thank you for loving me.

One of the best parts of it being your birthday is all the things you get that you don’t become broke from. I promise I will love you back when it’s your birthday.

Love this. Sentimental. Sweet. Forever.
So much that I teared.

SURPRISE! Birthday Brunch
I had no idea where I was being kidnapped to….
I got spoiled on BunnieDay.

Definitely the best birthday I’ve had. :)
I guess it’s not my birthday…. anymore. It’s my birth MONTH!

♥ Everyday should be a BunnieDay…

XO,

*Due to the unfortunate event that I am broke, I am unable to afford an SLR camera. All photos were taken using my BlackBerry, whom I love. {Whom. Not what. But. Whom.} Thus, all colors may not be accurate representations of real life. If you don’t like it, then buy me an SLR. Lastly, BunnieBar.com will not be held responsible for purchases made based on the information found in this post. If you find that you look like a gremlin or an ugly clown, haha! I’m sorry.

All work and no play is… well, no fun.

Who here likes to work all day, everyday? You answer MEE!! to that question and I’m going to force you to play with me until you love it like a fat kid loves cake.

After 5 days of absolute nothingness, I’m back at work. Why is it that ‘vacations’ always seem to end so soon? I remember when I was just a little bean, going to school everyday. Getting 3-4 months to frolic in the sun every year was so normal. Now that I’ve been prematurely tossed into the “real-world,” I’m really thankful that I had that time to indulge in doing nothing…

when doing nothing was absolutely, okay.

Speaking of thankfulness, it was Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend! Gobble! Gobble! Hope everyone stuffed their tummies with turkey and gravy! { I know I did. Who wouldn’t love a chubby wubby bunnie? } Over the last year, a lot has happened which I am very, very grateful for. Here are just a few for sharing :)

Experiences. How completely true is it that experiences help shape who you are? Making the transition from full-time schooling to full-time work, for one, has really been a stepping stone into what “real-life” is all about. Not only have I learned so much about myself, but I have learned so much about everything, especially from of few GREAT people that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I’ve been heartbroken, been forced out of my comfort zone, and as a result, have become so much more independent. I’ve been introduced to new adventures, have said yes to everything thrown my way, and as a result, have gained so much more value in life. I’m thriving off life and experience.

{ BFFs }

Friends. I’ve been blessed with the best group of friends a Bunnie could ever ask for. Friends who make me laugh till my tummy hurts. Friends who stay by me whether I’m being silly or just plain boring. Friends who wipe my nose boogies and tell me when there’s food on my face. Friends who turn my pouts into smiles. And friends who believe in me. Now that’s love.

Opportunity. It’s out there. Lots of it. You just have to find it. I didn’t believe it before but I see it now and it’s amazing. Without the loves of my life tipping me over the edge, the mile I’ve hopped would only be a measly inch.

And of course… I’m completely grateful that I can share my thoughts, loves, and um, purchases with you. Yes. I. Am. As corny as it sounds. {Mmm! I love corn, except it doesn’t digest very well… heh} Who would have thought that all of this would be so fun? I absolutely love reading all of your blogs and your sweet comments! There’s just so much to be thankful for…

So, take a moment to stop & appreciate everything around you. :)

That brings me to the last thing for me to be thankful for. My first (yay!) bloggie award from Keith! For some classic eye-candy, make sure you check out his blog: Sugar & Spice. Thanks, Keith. This made me happy. :)

I’m. done. rambling. Finally.

XOXO,
