As most of you know I've entered a whole new demographic this year. That's right, I'm a whole DECADE older! LOL! Since the bestie's bday & mine are only a few days apart (she's older by 4days) we decided to celebrate together.
Here's my FOTD for our night out. Using the NARS Artist Palette here. I find myself always grabbing this for special occasions. I think it's cuz I KNOW all the colors work well together & look good! LOL! Also reppin out my DSK WUZZY EARRINGS!! Love these for special occasions too! This pic is OBVIOUSLY edited! Stating that cuz I've been getting ?s on my pics, so YES I do often jazz them up with picnik.com I'd say about 95% of the time I use the effects & not just the basic contrast/exposure fixing. Wish my skin was that glowy! LOL!
Sorry I didn't take any pics of dinner cuz I was too busy being a fatty and stuffing my face! We went to Tsukiji's, which is a Japanese buffet style place. It's soooo good there! Here's a link if you want more info.
So our friend gifted us with this HUMONGOUS Red Velvet bday cake. This thing was soo huge that we were able to feed everyone at dinner abt 20+ peeps, and give HALF the cake to the restaurant staff, AND still have a ton of leftovers!
See how thick and dense this sucka was? I put the full size shoyu bottle for reference!
Bestie's first attempt to cut the cake. Take a look at the GIANT knife we needed to use! LOL!
Hell I needed to use 2 hands! And saw that bitch through! LOL!
Bestie & Me... both 30 yrs now! LOL! I've known her for over 16yrs!
So we ended up at a bar afterwards, but I'm not a big drinker, & I was too busy playing MegaTouch to take pics of drunk friends! LOL! But I did have ONE shot, and a couple drinks for the night. My "CUMSHOT" Seriously that's what it's called! Peach schnapps & coconut syrup. Didn't have much of a taste to me though.
On to prezzies!! Now most of you saw my TwitPic of this, but it's just too AWESOME not to share again. Hrmm.. what could be in this pretty star wrapped box from the bestie?!
BAM!!! Ya'll know my unhealthy obsession with the Japanese LE KitKats! LOL! All thanks to certain bloggers... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE GALS!! My friend had her friend who travels to Japan all the time round these up for me! :) Gotta love the bestie! But when I crack open the Sweet Potato I gotta share with her! LOL! Right now I'm resisting to make it last! But not for much longer! LOL!
Shall I list my treasure chest for you?! - Ginger Ale
- Sparkling Strawberry
- Sakura Matcha
The following you could only get at that city!
- Tokyo LE Kinako
- Yokohama LE Strawberry Cheesecake
- Okinawa/Kyushu LE Purple Sweet Potato
- Chugoku/Shikoku LE Citrus
- Shizuoka/Kanto LE Wasabi
Then I also got this ultra cute hand painted shot glass from our other friend. Mines was the bday cake one, comes with a shot recipe painted on. I forget what the bestie got, but her's was a different recipe & design from mines.
Last but not least... D (Mayaari) snuck me a bday pkg in the mail! She is seriously always way to sweet & generous to me! Thank you D!!! I LOVE IT!! Love how you know what I need and like! She got me the much talked about St. Ives Great Tea Cleanser (can't wait to see if it'll help my breakouts) thinking I'm gonna try it out before I start my DHC Saylic Cleanser. Then cuz you know I love my body lotions, she got me Missha Milk & Honeydew Lotion!! MBD Cooling Mask, an Oil Control (cuz I'm a oil slick!) sheet mask, Skinfood Wash Off Pack in Berry & Berry, Cettua Trouble Clear Patch, Paula's Choice samples for Oily/Combo skin, and a NYC Extreme Lip Glider Gloss in Chelsea Rose. And an uber cute monkey Bday card, since we're Monkeys! :) See how she knows what to get me since I've been breaking out, the fact I'm oiler then a french fry, & how I love lotions & skincare over makeup right now?! LOL! LOVE YOU D!!
30 doesn't feel that much different from any other age, other then the fact that I need to check off a new box on surveys! LOL! But it does weigh on me a bit that I'm getting older and should be more responsible in life, especially with the looming move of my parents to the mainland, and everything else that's been going on in this craptastic year so far for me! Oh well! LOL! Sorry for the mini pity party there.
Thank you again to everyone who wished me a Happy 30th this year! :)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope I didn't hurt your eyes too much!!
:)
