Disney, Universal, OC, Long Beach

Hi girls! I had such a great trip down in LA. I stayed for 5 days and got to go to Universal Studios, Disneyland, shopping in Orange County, and clubbin' in Long Beach. It was nice to get away and relax. I came back and started work the next day. It's been busy at Lancome since gift time is coming up and we've been preparing for that. Anyway, here are some pictures from my trip!

Disneyland

Our hotel was literally across the street!


We went on the Indiana Jones ride twice.


This is the new Finding Nemo ride that we waited almost 2 hours in line for! I didn't think it was worth the wait...


My boyfriend and his cousins. (He's the last one on the right.)






View of Disney fireworks every night from our hotel.


Universal Studios







On the Universal Tour



My favorite show!



Back to the Future car



Fast & the Furious Tokyo Drift staged scene



Jaws



Dr's Seuss's the Grinch movie. All of that was made of styrofoam!



Set of Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho.










At a bar.



Our room.

I wish I took more pictures. I had so much fun at Disneyland, not so much Universal. Space Mountain is the best ride ever! I'm trying to save up to go to Disneyworld soon. I'll always love Disney; it really is one of the happiest places on Earth! :D

News

Just to let you know, if you are reading this, I love you! =] Thanks for taking the time out to come out here to my blog that I rarely update and use to talk about my boring life. :P It really means a lot to me to know I have such loyal subscribers. Some of you are such sweethearts that I wish I could meet in person. :)

Anyway, today I got a job! I am officially an employee of LANCOME! It's going to be so fun working behind a makeup counter. I've always wanted to. I'm using this job as experience, since it is my first makeup job. I hope that I will actually LIKE going to work now, and not dread it as with my previous jobs. But I don't get enough hours at Lancome, so I am on the lookout for a second job. With gas and everything so expensive nowadays, one job won't be enough for me to pay for rent, groceries, gas, not to mention makeup! It's going to suck working 2 jobs again. I did it in the past while going to school and it was NOT fun. I was so stressed out but I had to do it. Times are hard now, so you gotta do what you gotta do.

When I was in training at the Lancome counter, I got to take home a trial size foundation of the Teint Idole liquid foundation. I've never found a liquid foundation that will stay on my oily face all day long until I tried this foundation. It is super smooth and a little goes a long way. Gives great medium coverage. Sometimes I will still apply my Urban Decay Surreal Skin Mineral Makeup over it to set my foundation, but most of the time I just wear it by itself and it stays on great. It's a little pricey ($38), but Lancome is offering free 10-day trial sizes of it to take home, so stop by any Lancome counter and ask them about it. They will color-match you and give you a free trial size that you can use for 10 days. =] Here's a picture of what it looks like.

I will be in L.A. next week, from July 17 to the 21st! During that time, I will be visiting Disneyland, Universal Studios, and all the fun stuff. I can't wait. I love Socal weather... HOT & HUMID!

I also got accepted for Partner on Youtube today! Yay! I've always wanted a customized banner. :)

I will have more product review videos soon, from Beautychoice.com & Mary Kay cosmetics!

Thanks for reading and staying tuned!

Love,
Kat
