happyholidays.

Hope everyone had a good holiday! I got the best Christmas present ever---A JOB! I just have to pass a drug test (WISH ME LUCK). I've been drinking cranberry juice and working out nonstop. Don't get me wrong, I don't do drugs. The last time I smoked was about two weeks ago and unfortunately that could stay in my body for 30 days. I read online that it usually stays for 10 days if you're an occasional smoker, which I am.

My Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash eyeliners came in the mail! I was skeptical of their staying power because they glide on so creamy and effortlessly, but they hold up pretty well. I wore them to the gym and they didn't budge after my sweaty workout.

finals week

It's finals week, but instead of studying like I should be doing, I painted my nails. Honestly I had no idea what I was doing.. Haha. I started off with hearts but decided that was too plain so I drew some black lines. Do you guys think this is appropriate for the hospital? I'm volunteering there tomorrow. I guess I'll have a small talk starter with the patients.





All of my packages from Black Friday finally arrived. I went mad online shopping cuz I couldn't deal with humans in the mall. I got five packages total.. There's some things I have to return but for the most part I'm satisfied :)

I just ordered the Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash since I had a $15 giftcard for being a beauty insider. I need new eyeliner anyway. I was debating between that or fluidline since I'm running out, but I really wanted all the different colors in the kit. I still think I'm gonna get fluidline when I run out though because pencil usually smudges on me by the end of the day, but fluidline stays put.

I can't wait for my last final to be overrrrrrr and done with. Wish me luck :\

Product Review: Essence of Beauty Bent & Straight Eyeliner Brushes

Product: Essence of Beauty Bent & Straight Eyeliner Brushes
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Overall: 1 out of 5
Price: I got these on ebay for $3.25 including shipping
Would You Buy This Again? No

PROS: None at all.

CONS: The brush head is way too flimsy and there aren't enough bristles to keep it dense. It's impossible to draw a straight line.

OVERALL: Don't waste your money on this. I ordered this on ebay because the idea of a bent eyeliner brush interested me. I'm sure there are better bent eyeliner brushes out there (Just don't buy this one!)

Nail polish

China Glaze - Rich & Famous

Reminds me of barbie & it's perfect for the Spring.

I wore this in class and didn't realize how bright it was until I pointed to something on my notebook page for a guy to read haha.

Red Cherry

I'm the biggest sucker for lashes (even though I still have a hard time putting them on). The store that sells NYX products also sells Red Cherry lashes! They only cost about $1.50 a pair, so I decided to pick up a few :) Sorry the second photo isn't as clear. I took it from my iPhone.

I want lashes like THESE

MAC Eyeshadow Swatches

Some MAC eyeshadow swatches of the ones I have left. All the other ones I sold because I don't give them enough loving. I realized I've never swatched a lot of my shadows, so enjoy! These were swatched dry with no base.

NYX, I love you.

I finally found a store that sells NYX! No more ordering online & paying shipping fees :) They have single eyeshadows, jumbo pencils, lipsticks, lip liners, concealers, trios, and nail polishes. If anyone wants me to find them anything in particular, send me an email.

Circe, Honey, Milan, Perfect, Power

Unfortunately, Circe doesn't work on me like most girls :( It makes me look washed out (I'm an NC 30 for reference).

Hi Bellas

I've been away for a long time, I know! I just got back from Philadelphia and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. The love of my life (who has no idea yet) is there haha. I've been posting more on my personal blog, but I had to take the link off due to a certain psycho somebody that I actually know in person. But for now, I'M BACK so are you ready for me, bitches??

I went a little lash crazy & bought 40 pairs of lashes on ebay from THIS seller, although it doesn't seem like they sell lashes anymore. It cost about $8 including shipping, but some of the lashes arrived a little bent out of shape, but it's okay cuz each box has 10 pairs.
