Sleep deprived

Hello my pretties! I'm so sorry that I haven't been on blogger regularly for the last couple of weeks. I've been extremely tired, and I went to the doctor's to try to get some medication for my insomnia, and my doctor gave me Ativan, which is an antidepressant. And it made me break out. Stupid wacked out Ativan! I never want to take that stupid antidepressant drug EVER again! So I will not be posting pictures of my face. UGH!

So lately, even though I've been super tired, I've been trying to wear more makeup. Yay. Lol. I've been using my fingers to put foundation on, which is something I've never really done, only when I use to be in a rush, and I couldn't find a sponge or a brush. (My face looks fat for some weird reason...)

My makeup bag consists of a couple small things for my usual makeup routine. MAC Fix+ and MAC foundation & Paul & Joe powder have become my essentials. As well as my NYX eyebrow pencil. 

Which brings me to my next point. Lately, I've been writing a lot. Not blog writing, but fanfiction writing. I'm not going to be giving out my pen name on fanfiction.net, but I will let you know, if you do find me, say hi!

And the fact of the matter is that I'm very tired. So freaking tired. I've been going to sleep at 3 or 4 in the morning, and I have to get up at 8 to go to work and be there at 8:30. Which is so very bad for me.

I've been buying a lot of accessories, and clothes lately. I've recently bought myself a tablet, which I'm not sure what I'm going to be using it for, since my printer/scanner is not even hooked up yet. :-/

I went snowboarding for the first time this past Sunday. It was extremely exciting, and I fell down a lot. But I did ride the snow for a little bit. And the powder!!! The powder up there was so soft, and amazing!

Picture taken by my Windows 7 phone. 

That is all for me right now. I will try to update as soon as I get a  chance, but at this rate, I won't be updating as much as I did before. I think I might be depressed, or some shit like that. Ugh. :(

If you do feel like, please enter my giveaway. Yes it is still going on, even though I'm sleep deprived. 
Check it out here yo!

My second haul from CVS! And my gift card giveaway winner! :)

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a good new years eve! I went clubbing with a couple of our friends, but it was kind of crappy, because we were suppose to be on guest list, but we ended up not being on guest list. Long story short, my boyfriend ended up paying $160 dollars for two of us. So that was the crappy part. But at least we got to celebrate in style!

My makeup from NYE! I did my own makeup from my tutorial, but I changed a couple things about it. If any of you girls want to see how I did it, just let me know! :) 

Anyway, so I went back to CVS yesterday! Because I didn't realize that some of the Rimmel London lipsticks were on sale. So I picked up a ton of them today! I basically went to 3 different CVS's because there are 3 located in my area, and I wanted to see what else I could pick up! 

I also picked up a couple Revlon lipsticks as well! I basically got backups of almost everything! Because they were so cheap, and I hate it when I buy something and they discontinue it! So of course, I picked up a lot of backups! (I hate buying cosmetics from ebay)

From left to right: Air Fairy, Pink blush, Pink champagne, and passion. (I'm really loving pink blush and air fairy together on my lips! It's the perfect nude pink!)

Pink champagne, and passion up close. 

 Air fairy, and pink blush up close. 

Swatched from left to right: Air Fairy, Pink blush, Pink champagne, and passion. 

I also picked up Rimmel's spotlight beige. It looks like the perfect dark nude color! 

 Up close and personal! 

 I also picked up one of Revlon's matte lipsticks in mauve it over! The packaging looks really nice! 

 Up close. 

 And then I picked up two of Revlon's Colorburst lipsticks! 

Left to right: Liliac and Mauve. 

 And since I've never tried any of Revlon's pearl lipsticks, I only picked up one of twinkled pink. It looks nice, but let's see how it does when applied to my lips. 

 And of course I had no idea that firecracker was on sale! So I had to pick up one of these babies as well! Since I almost have the entire collection, except for pink pop! That's next on my list! :) 

 When I was there, I also picked up a powder. Because as much as I love my P&J powder, it has shimmer, and sometimes, I feel like I don't want shimmer, and sparkle, so I think this powder would be great for my face. They also had one with shimmer, but since I have P&J's already, I didn't see it necessary to pick up one of those. 

 On the back. The only problem, I have with the almay powder, is the bulkiness of the packaging. I wish it were smaller. I didn't realize that I couldn't take the powder out of the box! 

 I also picked up a sally hansen cream blush, for those days, that I want to apply a darker color to my cheeks/lips! 

 Back of the packaging. 

When swatched on my arm. It's actually a lot prettier than the picture below! It's a nice dark pink. I don't know why, but my camera makes the blush look brown! :(

 

I was only able to pick up only one of Rimmel's lipsticks in Pink champagne, there were no other ones left. That makes me kind of sad. :( But it's okay, because I did pick up 5 of Pink blush! I also picked up 3 Air Fairy, and 2 extras of spotlight beige! 

From Revlon, I only picked up one backup, and that was Mauve it over, and the only reason I picked up an extra of that one, was because I hadn't realized I had already bought it from another CVS. Yes, I can get a little makeup crazy! 

Anyway, so what you girls have been waiting for, for the past 3 weeks! (Is it 3 weeks?? I can't remember!!!) My giveaway winner for a giftcard of their choice! So I basically had 158 unique entries, basically from tweeting, to blogging, to facebook! So I went to random.org, and the winner is (drum roll please!):

So yay to fruity lashes! I will be emailing you shortly! :) If you didn't win this time around, don't fret, I will be having another giveaway in the next couple of days! 

Leighton Meester Inspired look!

Hey everyone! So two posts within a week??!! OMG, isn't that shocking? Haha. Well today, I had a club meeting, so that was interesting. After that I came home, took a quick shower, and decided that I would try to do this quick video.

But before we get to this video, I want to mention to everyone that Pop Champagne is having a contest, and that's the reason why I did this video. Click on the picture below to check out her contest!
These are some pictures I took after I did the makeup tutorial:



And the video:



By the way, not sure if everyone knows this, but there is going to be an event happening in LA this weekend, on Saturday, and it's called Kollaboration. Not sure if I posted about this already. I probably did, but I'm going with my boyfriend, and it's going to be awesome! Tickets are still on sale, I believe, so check it out!

If anyone wants to, please check out my friend's blog! She loves fashion, and makeup, and she's new to blogger! :)

More packages, and future tutorials?

Hi everyone! So this past week, I actually got a huge package in! And I got a small package as well! So if you guys didn't know ELF, aka eyeslipsface.com, was having a 50% off all studio products, so I went ahead and purchased a ton of items from them! I'm not going to upload pictures of everything because honestly, it was a lot of stuff, and it would take forever for me to upload to blogger (because you know, blogger only allows you to upload 5 pictures at one time) so anyway, I actually did a video on what I received from my huge ELF package!



And I also got another package in from Dana! I love her designs! She has the most amazingly cute jewelry ever! I just had to buy this necklace from her when I first saw it! :D
Thank you Dana! I love it!

By the way, I was thinking about doing a hair tutorial on Megan Fox's hair. Since you know, I love her fashion and beauty sense. And I came up with this look:
And just to let you guys know, I will be attending Kollaboration 10 this year! So please if any of you guys live in Southern California can attend that would be great! Check out the link above for more information! :D

By the way, I've been asked by a lot of people where I got my Jill Stuart shoes at, and I got them from Gothamcityonline.com. I think they only have select sizes there, and I had got the shoes when they were like really cheap, but now they are like $100+ dollars. I got them because I wear a size 10, and I found them online, and I was like maybe I should buy them because at the time they were super cheap, but now they have bumped the prices up on their Jill Stuart shoes. But they still have a lot of really cute shoes there that I would totally buy!

Short update, Smokey eye tutorial

Hi everyone! I haven't been doing much, I've just been going to school, and working the last couple of days. My manager at work, is no longer there for some strange reason. Oh well. Anyway, so since my manager hasn't been there, we had an assistant manager there, who I worked with just this past summer, and he's really great.

And he's actually given me a couple more work days, so I might not be able to post as much as I've been doing in the past couple of weeks. But I want to let everyone know that I'm still much in love with makeup and fashion.

Anyway, Here is a picture of how I did my makeup today! It's just a really simple smoky eye look/megan fox inspired look that I did. I got a little bit of eyeshadow on my face, can you see where it's at? Lol.




And I'm still recording on my old camera because my new one has not come in yet! I'm hoping that it will come in before this weekend, because I'm actually going to be doing a lot of stuff this weekend, and I want to share it with you guys! :D

By the way, I've switched channels on youtube. My new channel is going to be here, while my old one is going to be my personal vlog channel. These two channels will both be linked on my sidebar so that way you guys can still check it out, and watch both channels!

And by the way, I just want to let everyone know, I got the Revlon Photo Ready foundation! I'm wearing it in the video and in my pictures! It's a pretty good foundation. I've already done a review on it via video, but I'm not sure I'm going to upload it because I'm still using my old camera, and I want to get my new one in, so I can show you guys what it really looks like. And my old camera still blurs in and out of focus!

And don't forget that the Formspring is still on the sidebar, so please feel free to ask me anything!

Have a great weekend!
XO

New Buys

Hi everyone! So this past week I started school. And it's good to be back in school, but I kind of wished that break was a little longer! Anyway, yesterday was the first day I went to my pharmacy internship class, and it was a little scary! My teacher kept saying things like, "When you get to your site, they are going to grade you!" And I started to freak out a little. But it's like a good kind of freaking out. It's a cross between happy and crazy! Haha.

If you haven't seen it already, just want to mention that on the sidebar I have a poll asking people what they want to see on my blog. Please vote, so that way I can get a better insight to what you want to see!

And here are the Maybelline eyestudio quads that I bought. I actually got six of them from online.
And the blue palette I got in, was already broken! It made me really really sad! :( I put the white shadow into a little container so I can use it and keep it. A close up of pink persuasion.
Here are some pictures of magazines, with the Maybelline eyestudio quads! (I don't know how to use my scanner!)
And here are some pictures that I took of myself today! I used the Maybelline gold quad on my eyes! Even though you can't really see it, because the picture makes me look super pale! That's all for me now! Hope everyone has a good weekend! I'm going to be doing a giveaway soon! Hopefully sometime next week! :)

EOTD and blush

Hi everyone! I know I haven't really made any makeup related posts in the last couple of days. And the reason for that, is because I'm so lazy when I leave the house now! I don't wear any makeup anymore, because all I do is go to school, and work. And everyone at school already knows what I look like! But I do on occasion put on makeup, if it's for something special, or I'm going somewhere.

But I did a look today, and it has to do with Twilight! Yes, my favorite movie! :) I'm going to go watch the movie when it comes out in November! Are you? :) And this is the makeup I'm going to be wearing when I go!

This is the look that I did with my 120 count palette! It actually goes from light to dark inward towards outward!
My eye. My camera is not on flash, it's just because it's bright.
And this is my RMK blush, that I haven't shown you guys yet! The color is JE-03 Cherry. And here are the swatches of the blushes! I know, I take forever huh? Well the one on the left is the MT-03 Strawberry Pink and the one on the right is JE-03 Cherry. I don't know why my picture is blurry... I'm thinking of selling the MT-03 Strawberry Pink one, because I don't really use it, and I've only used it just to swatch it this one time... Would you guys be interested in buying some makeup items that have only been used once from me?

Anyway, since I cannot stand using my old phone (I don't like it at all! It doesn't all the full effects of a PDA phone) I decided last night to buy a sciphone i68+. It's pretty much an iphone, but with more awesome features. You can put dual sim cards into it, and it also has an FM radio on it. I don't think the iphone has FM radio, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I'm going to wait for it to ship to me, within the next week or so! So excited.

I've been spending more money on technology than makeup recently! Haha.
