Revlon colorstay liquid lipstick!

I have a new found love for the whole Revlon colorstay collection! As you may know, their colorstay eyeliner is my fav ever, and now I am obsessed with their new liquid lipstick. Holla! This baby stays put. I've worn it through eating, drinking, etc and it is still on, looking fab. It will be my go to color for my girls night out next wednesday! I have a red color and a pink color. I wanted them to look like the Stila Cherry Crush lipstain and the Posie Pink lipstain by Benefit. The revlon colorstay liquid lipsticks are a bit heavier and darker but I am ok with it. The one catch with this stuff is it is drying, so slap on some creamy lip balm and you will be a-okay.

Make up Expiriments

I was not born into a family of beauty addicts. My mom was a body builder and the only thing she has ever worn is black eyeliner. My granparents, aunts, cousins, etc could care less about the new chanel collection coming out or what eyeshadow color themselves or others are wearing. I, on the other hand, am all over the trends and I'm always trying new things. Recently, I decided red lips were my thing to try. I have strawberry blonde hair but I was determined to find a good color. I went to CVS (why spend a lot of money when I'm just testing?) and bought Revlon's cherry in the snow. I LOVE IT! My family, they aren't too thrilled. It's too red according to them. They don't like the red trend at all, especially on me. I like it though. The only thing is the lip stick comes off on everything. I know the rule of applying lipstick and then blotting and reapplying but I'm thinking that I'm going to try that liquid lipstick stuff from revlon, covergirl, or l'oreal. I'll see how it goes and report it back!

Braces Drama

My braces are driving me up a wall. I had 5 years of braces before I decided to get braces again in December of 2008. I want perfect teeth and my teeth had some flaws I was desperate to get rid of. I am so grateful for braces but I recently got rubber bands and they are fuh-reaking annoying. I only need them for 6 weeks though. yay! This will all be worth it when I get my braces off in May! Just in time for college. whoo! In the mean time, my days have been super busy. I'm juggling working, swimteam, and taking on a second job. Today I went to swimteam from 7-9 and then did bootcamp 9-10, I worked 10-3, babysat from 3:15-5:30, dog sat from 3:15-7:30, and I was going to go to divisional relays but I didn't have time. Swimteam is everyday for me. Its such good excersise though. I only hate getting up early. blech. But hot guys in speedos make it worth it. MAC's coulour craft collection looks stunning and I can't wait to get my hands on those eyeshadows! I spent my last pay check in one day so I have to budget this time.

Intervention...really?

So my friends and my sister decided that I buy too much make up and that everytime I buy new make up they will take make up from me. Whaaaaaaat? I have emotional attatchment to my make up! No one should touch it OR even think of taking it from me. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Hey Guys! It has been so long! dang. So the reason I have been long gone (not that anyone reads my blog) is because I got a job and school is ending so I've been doing work and finals. Tomorrow is my last day thank the LORD. I'm so done! Senior year, here I come! anyways, MAC is having a 25% off sale on everything until the 18th. Of course I bought stuff. Did you even have to ask? I'm beginning to feel content with my make up stash but there are a still a few things I want. I have to focus on clothes though. I thought I would post a pic of how my hair looks now. Its grown out a bit and I think it looks a lot better!

Back to work now!

I'm loving....

Bobbi Brown's eyeshadow in forest! I picked it up over the weekend and I adore it. It looks like a dark (forest) green, but when you try it, it's more complex. On me it shows up like a smokey blackish grey but it's not overpowering. You can tap off your brush before you put on the eyeshadow and you will get more of the greenish color but it works perfect for a smoky eye! Thats why I love it. The smoky eye is my new obsession.

The make up binge is over!

It is true, folks. I have stopped my splurging ways. For now, anyways. I wrote a post of everything I bought while in my cosmetic rut and what I thought about them but for some reason it didn't post and it probably took me an hour to write. Bummer. Oh well! So now I have a list of the things I'm going to save up for! (none of which include make up! I'm all make up-ed out.)

1. Seven for all mankind jeans

2. Sandals from JCREW

3. longchamp beach tote

4. shorts and tanks for summer

5. new room stuff

I've been really into plans for redecorating my room so I'm looking all over the internet to find good deals on furniture and stuff. I love reading decoration blogs but I get so frustrated because I can't make my rooms as beautiful as theirs. Craigslist is fun to look through and so is Etsy.com. Also, I GOT MY HAIR CUT! its very different but I like it nonetheless. It's kind of in a bob but it gets shorter in the back and longer in the front. When is summer coming?!
