FOTD: Blooming Lovely

Hello Everyone (:

I did this look the other day. I don't remember where I was going or what I was doing but in real life my eyes were REALLY sparkly. The camera doesn't capture it for some reason which may be because of the lighting.
yikeees! Dark circles, I know >__<

Review: Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner

Today's post is about a product I've recently discovered from Mona's Blog. I'm always on the hunt for a good liquid liner. I've gone off and on from gel to liquid but I always come running back to liquid liners...

The Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner has a calligraphy type of tip rather than a felt or brush. This is the first time I've ever used one of these and I have to say I now prefer it! I know that the kpalette 24hour liner, kat von d, lorac, and shiseido ones have it but it's a little out of the price range I'd want to spend on a liquid liner pen that I don't know will dry out within a week or so.
Comes in sleek shiny silver packaging. It leaves fingerprints but it's round packaging kinda "reduces" it in a way to where you don't really see it.
The applicator! I've been using this for about three weeks now and it has yet to dry up! I'll give it a couple weeks, give or take, before I use up all the so called "ink".
Shown in Ultra Black

With it's extra fine tip you have the ability to create fine lines to thick lines. It's really awesome for winging out liner too! The color ultra black isn't too "ultra black". It's like a soft black but as you layer it it becomes a nice black shade. As for the lash boosting part of this product, I can't vouch for it saying it'll give you lush lashes. I never intended for this product to give my sad wimpy lashes any enhancement but I don't think it really helps for that.

I purchased this at CVS for about $10. Physician's Formula has always been on the pricier side of the drugstore lines but I think it's reasonably priced. I'll definitely repurchase this after I run out. They usually have BOGO 1/2 off so buying two at a time will most likely be the cheapest way.

FOTD: Suicide Pinup

Hey all (:

I was going through some blogs and I found a pinup tutorial! [Check Chrissy's look out] I've always wanted to post up a pinup look on here and everytime I've attempted one and took picture my camera always washed out the colors since they were basically skintone.

When I think of pinup makeup I think flawless skin, contoured face, bold brows, red lip, and a matte defined eye.

I didn't use flash this time and used my lighted vanity mirror for lighting and it turned out pretty good! I even attempted a suicide roll for you, which by the way FAILED miserably. The end result was my fourth time and it still wasn't smooth!

Apologizing in advance since I also cam-whored a bit because I haven't done an actual look in a LONG time :D

Next picture was just a random unattractive picture but whatever! lol

Hopefully this will be a trend for 2012, me getting back to posting FOTD's! I really enjoyed getting dolled up just to take it all off and go to sleep. With the stress of school and work coming up I'm sure blogging would be a great way to relieve stress just hopefully I will have enough time!

Have a good day everyone!

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

 Happy New Years everyone! (:

I hope the new year is treating everyone good! Every year I literally do nothing for New Years Eve. I usually just stay home but this year my friend invited me to take a family trip to Wichita, Kansas!

We stayed at his aunt's lakehouse. I only snapped a few pictures while I was there because there was literally nothing to take photos of since we were there for about a day and half >__<
 It was suuuuper cold. I only brought a light cardigan since I was thinking "Texas weather." I guess I didn't realize where we were staying!

His puppy Momo! He's such a cutie, his hair is sooo long that it just blows in the breeze lol! He looks like he's gonna sweep the floor sometimes too :)
 This is my friend Kiet. He has long hair also that I sometimes straighten LOL.
 The photo below I think is very interesting.... I tried to enlarge it so you can all see!
 We both have iPhones... my phone has a tokidoki case which I purchased from sephora. His is PINK!

Here's the makeup for the day. I did a simple, not so dark look using the NAKED2 palette! It was just a little more for definition that you can't see in the photo lol.
 This is my friend and I! I'm in serious need of a haircut yet haven't made my way to the salon yet...
We were also in need of an eyebrow touchup. I actually took care of this the next day :P

What was there to do in Kansas? NOTHINGGG. The previous night when we arrived we ended up playing hide&seek in the dark. It was actually pretty fun! The next day we went to the mall. THERE WERE NO STORES WORTH LOOKING IN!!! I ended up at Victoria's Secret for their 7/$25 panty raid they had and that's all I ended up with. We also ended up eating at Outback Steakhouse and I would've had food pictures but I didn't want to embarrass their family by whipping out my camera lol :)

When the clock struck 12, I was knocked out in the car since we were driving back. Soooo technically I didn't do much for New Year's but I did a lot more than normal. PLUS I got to visit a new state! ^__^

I have another post I'm working on. I was INSPIRED to do makeup and I've already done it and taken photos just gotta build the post and resize everything. I'm really excited about that one but I've gotta head to bed now because I need to be up in a couple of hours >__<
