The MAC Jeanius collection launched on Thursday, and I was only really interested in the blushes. I went and picked up just one, overdyed, which is a deep purple-fuschia.

The blush is very, very pigmented, so a very light touch to the blush with your brush is enough to colour your cheeks. I didn't really process this in my head at first, and my first application to my cheeks made me look like I was Grimace - the purple monster from McDonalds kids meals, HAHA. Love this blush! :)



Also, I picked up this ring in a Forever 21 order I did this week. Love it! Reminds me a bit of the YSL arty ring cause of the colour!

Yesterday a bunch of us went out to Mikado for my best friends birthday! :) It was her 21st, which is a pretty important birthday!

Vince & I ordered the usual Dragon Eyes, Tobiko sushi & beef tataki. Everything was good, until the beef tataki arrived. It was really odd looking.. grey in colour, and somewhat overcooked. But the waitress was happy to take it back & give us a fresher plate.




weird looking tataki


this plate looks MUCH better!


Me with Janet. Haven't seen this girl in soo long! (approx. 5 years??)

A while back, I was at Sobeys and saw something interesting sitting on the shelf. Instant scalloped potatoes! I never even knew things like this existed!

It comes in a package just like the Knorr Sidekicks, where everything is inside. All you do is add some milk and butter, and pop it into the oven for baking! Super easy and convenient, compared to actually making this dish from scratch. I was really curious as to how this would turn out, and if it would actually taste good. At $2.50per package, I really didn't have much to lose!

finished product!

The dish itself turned out great! The potatoes were tender and cheesy, but definitely not as good as a dish from scratch. But when you're low on time and need a dish quick, this isn't a bad option!
