Hello all, so my last box has finally come in, and tomorrow I get my mac box and that's IT! No more hauling for a good long while until I get some actual looks down with the make up I have. The only other thing I'd go and do as of right now is start adding to my brush collection, and get shade matched for Mac foundations and concealer. Since I just can't seem to find the right shade on my own.
I hope you're all having a nice week so far.. happy hump day to those of you who work like me and have weekends off. Friday is almost here, I promise, it's almost here! xD
So anyways, I ordered some things from Beautycrunch.com just because I wanna try out diffrent brands outside of Mac like I said before, with the random stuff I got like the Amuse palettes and the tea lip balm. Which I will be doing a review on, probably friday night when I get home from work, just to let you know!
So haul. First off I got an eyeshadow book thingie from Pop beauty. It's called "Lid Gold" and it comes in a small little package. It has 6 eyeshadow colours made for golden eyes.
The first colour is a black with glitter, kinda reminds me of Macs "Black Tide".
The second colour is a dark olivey green, which is really pretty.
The third colour is a medium brown / taupe colour.
The fourth colour is a golden colour. Really nice.
The fifth colour is a really odd minty green, which doesn't look like it'd go with the rest of the colours which, are pretty neutral on the whole, but yeah.
And finally the 6th colour is a white with a pink pearl reflect. Really nice highlight colour. *nods*
Then I got a stila palette in "noire". The box is so pretty! It's a quad btw, kinda like the look books stila makes. The front has this felty type material on it, and it reminds me of those fuzzy posters they sell at like walmart with the markers. Hope someone out there knows what im talking about. My grandma bought me a bunch of them over my childhood. But anyways, yeah you open it up, and there's three eyeshadows and a blush.
It has a pearly pinky peach colour, can't really tell with my lighting at the moment, but it's pretty. Very pigmented.
It has a sorta greyish china blue, which is also really nice.
And it has a black with glitter which is supposed to be the "liner" colour.
All three eyeshadows are really pigmented and I like them alot.
The blusher is a flushy pink colour, sorta a mid tone pink, not to barbie type bright, or to raspberry dark, it's sorta well, mid tone. lol it's pretty. ^^
Also i got three brushes from this set called Bella il Fiore. There's three of them, a face brush, a eyeliner brush, and a lip colour brush, and they're all pink handled with rhinestones in the bottom of the handle, and I thought they were really cute, and cheap so why not.
So that was my box, and then tonight, I just got some neutrogena face cleanser. I watched a few skin care videos, and have decided that the reason my face is so dry is because I'm scrubbing it to much. Instead of having a exfoliator and a cleanser, I was just using the stuff with the rough bits ALL the time as my cleanser and it was irritating my skin, stripping it of it's moisture, and my own moisterizer couldn't keep up. SO, I am going under the advice of the almighty Petrilude, who's a professional, and therefor, knows a hell of a lot more then I do.
Cleanse two times, first time to get off oil and dirt, second time you actually clean your skin. So to help with that process, I'm going to use my face wipes to take my make up off, use my new cleanser, which is from the same line as the exfoliator, and the toner I have, and start a skin care regime, that's totally not how you spell it but whatever.
So here goes, weekly face thing. Mon. Wed. and Fri. Use the exfoliator in the shower in the morning, use toner, and moisturizer. Tuesday, thursday, and saturday, use just cleanser, toner and moisturizer, Sunday, use cleanser, mint julip face mask, Biore nose strips, and moisturizer.
Sound like a plan? I may change the exfoliator usage depending on how big of an improvement my skin has after cutting down on using it so often. *nods*
So that's it for today.. I'll probably type up again friday with the review of the balm, and the gloss i got, aaaaand, the mac prep and prime, cause it comes tomorrow, along with my vanilla pigment so I'll be playing with those for friday.
Anywho, enjoy the rest of your week, and hope you all enjoy!

6 Things that Make Me Happy
Even though she doesn't follow my blog anymore, I saw this on Hele's bloggy and thought I'd give it a shot. Mine isn't going to be as spiffy as hers as I have no pictures to put up, but yeah.
1.) Sneakers. I love sneakers, I'm not addicted enough really to be called a "Sneaker Head" I don't troll ebay looking for them, or stalk websites for new designs. But I do like the classics, original chuck t's, white on white reeboks or nike's, shell toes, yeah. I'm feeling that. You can tell alot about a persons personality on how they take care of their sneakers. Just an fyi
2.) Sleep. I never seem to get enough of it, so it's one of my favorite things in the world. I love curling up in my bed and sawing a log. It sounds stupid, but yeah.
3.) Nail Polish. I've always wanted really pretty nails but I've always had the bad habit of biting them, so I put acrylics on when I was 19 and pretty much kept 'em on for 6 months at a stretch, then gave my nails 6 months off to recoup before putting them back on. Now that I've taken them off til August, I love buying nail polish and how pretty my hands look after they're freshly painted. Just wish my job wasn't so rough on my hands that they didn't chip alla time. =(
4.) Smell Memories. I love smelling something, whether it's a food, or a perfume, or a outside smell, that reminds me of something from a long time ago. The scent of my grandfathers basement workshop, the smell of the hot asphalt just before it got hit with cold rain (that's a favorite of mine scent wise), the smell of a storm coming in from the ocean, the many food scents that remind me of my childhood. I always know when I've made food right because it'll remind me of my grandma and how I learned to cook by watching her and my grandpa in the kitchen.
5.) Shinys. Now, unlike most shallow women, my shiny's dont have to be expensive. You coulda bought it at walmart and I wouldn't care. As long as it's pretty and or cute, I'll take it and never say a word about the cost, unless it cost alot in which i'll whine at you that you shouldn't have bought it for me, but i'll treasure it all the more because of it. My dad and I have a similiar interest in alot of things and odd jewelry is one of them. Browsing those stores that sell dragon and wizard and faery motif type stuff, where the whole place smells like incense, and you see all the stones in the odd settings, and stuff, thats the kinda jewelry I like.
I don't like diamonds, or really expensive name brand shit. I think it's crap. I'd rather have sterling silver dream catcher earrings, then the biggest rock you could put in my ear. I know I'm a nut.
6.) My iPod. Anytime I feel like crap I reach for it. When I'm happy I reach for it. When I'm crying and upset, I reach for it. My ipod is my universal favorite thing, I really could not live without it now that I've had it. Thanks to my ex boyfriend who bought this one for me cause my other overheated. He never asked for it back either. Or asked for the money for it, although I thought plenty of times to send it to him anyways. But yeah my ipod keeps me sane, and reminds me that anytime I miss my kpop boys all i have to do is reach for my ipod and they're right there waiting to sing to me. :) apple = Love. <3>>Tami
