Same homegirl, Different day

It's a little strange to see me and Alex hang out. We're so different but we're the same. And that's all I ask for in a friend. =) I love makeup and everything girly. And she can't even walk into sephora without being bored. LOL. But she's so downright awesome and goofy. We're the same. =) We can just be walking in the mall and start dancing to the mall music. People look at us like we're hella crazy but we honestly couldn't care less. She's a way better dancer than I am so whatever I'm doing just looks silly to her moves. We can talk and talk about everything. We can beat a subject to death. Like we'll talk about.. chicken nuggets all day. lol. I love her.

NARS - Orgasm

Most of my favorite lip glosses are by NARS. And THE favorite lipgloss by NARS is in Orgasm. It's a peachy pink color with gold shimmers. And it's fantastic. You can wear it alone or over a nude/peach lipstick. It really is the best everyday color.

Now since we're on the topic of NARS orgasm. They have a nail polish. But this nail polish is absolutely awful, the brush makes the polish look streaky and the color payoff does nothing for my nails. I actually returned the polish back to Sephora the next day because I was completely unsatisfied. But. =) tonight I was looking through my nail polish and realized I haven't tried most of them. So I looked over them and China Glaze "Naked" caught my eye. And the strangest thing occurred to me. Naked should be Orgasm. LOL. It's exactly like taking my lip gloss and putting it on my nails. It's fabulous. The perfect peachy/pink color with gold shimmers. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a NARS orgasm dupe. In the photos it doesn't do it justice. It definitely photographs more pink. And without the flash it photographs more peachy. But it really is amazing. Trust me. Now this is just my opinion. NARS and China Glaze are both top notch beauty lines that give you great results. In the pictures: they are both the same bottle of color. Those are not my real nails. They are gel acrylics. I got them done professionally. They were mighty pricey, $43 dollars. I'm never wasting that much money on gel again. Next time I'll just opt for acrylics and pay $20, that's with tip. I LOVE how my french tips turn out, but they always chip. So I tell them I just want a manicure and acrylics, then I leave without polish because I honestly think I can paint my nails better than anyone else.

Len's WIMB contest entry

This took entirely way too long to get together. LOL. I planned on doing this the day that she posted up the contest but you know how procrastination gets you? LOL. Okay well here we go. The bag I've been rocking for a while now is Armani Exchange. My aunt gave it to me cause she couldn't wear it anymore, she said the chain makes the bag x10000000 heavier. (It really does, but I can't break her heart and not rock it. (= you know?) So even though this bag is huge! I don't put that much stuff in it because it really does get heavy. Starting from the top to the bottom, left to right. This is what I've got in my bag.


Lucky Magazine - I just got it, and I wanted to read it when I was on a break at work.
Keys - House key, little jap girl that my bestie got for me, keychain that blinks my name, guitar keychain from destin my co worker got me, CVS member card, Benz keychain? (I just think it's cute, lol), Virgin Islands keychain from a friend. --My friends know to get me keychains cause I LOVE THEM--
Pink Zebra Wallet - I got this at Charlotte Russe for 8.99! So cute and so ME!

PURE mints - I love these! YUMMY! and it has a mirror in it!! crazy huh? LOL
NYC brow liner - Taupe, works really well. Only needs one application, but i'm pretty paranoid
Glasses - I need to wear glasses when I'm driving really far in the dark. otherwise I just wear them to change it up a little. =)
Clinique moisturizer - for very dry skin to dry combination skin. I LOVE THIS!! omg, my second day using this and I feel like it's magic. I have very dry skin, but this makes it feel so smooth and helps my flaking and peeling.
MaryKay perfume - I've had this since I was 14.. Lol, and I love it. I don't really know what smell it is. But on the bottle it says embrace Dreams?

okay, so i kept one.. and got another.

I went back to MAC the very next day and this time I brought my friend Alex for support. I know she wouldn't let me buy anything stupid. =) okay. So after checking out lipstickrules's blogspot I wanted to blog about my only MAC lipstick, because I caved. From the Color Craft Collection I picked up in my last haul two lipsticks. One in Cherish (not from the collection), and one in Madly Creative. It's a frost. I'm no good at describing colors but the first picture is me with it on and the last is the tube. I really don't buy lippies at all because I'm so orally fixated. I'm always chewing my lip, eating, drinking, just doing stuff with my mouth that the whole thing is ridiculous. I normally just wear a lip balm and a lip gloss and never reapply it. But I really love this color, and I'm going to wear it. =) Be prepared, I will show you an empty tube on Madly Creative. That's a PROMISE. =)So when I went to MAC I feel like the MAC assistant tried to get one over on me.. lol, she kept pushing stuff on me. I was like "No thanks, seriously, no thanks" I almost walked out of there with a backup of my foundation, 4 dazzleglasses, the naked honey perfume in light, and two of the naked honey skin salves. But because of my ROCK Alex, I only got the skin salve. Thank God, cause you already know I didn't need any of that stuff. LOL. The skin salve, doesn't really smell like a strong honey, and it's very creamy, a little goes a LONG way. It's okay I guess, I mean I still can't believe I bought Vaseline for $18.00 but whatever, it's not worth returning.

All of this is going back

Look.. I have a problem.. I'm officially cutting myself off. NO MORE MAKEUP. Seriously. I need to stop. I just got paid this morning, and right when I get off work I go shopping.. Last week I worked so many hours and had time and a half from 4th of July. So my check was pretty big. I know I needed to get some shoes cause the ones I'm wearing right now are so busted it's not even funny. the bottoms are coming off. But I drove to Discover Mills cause over there it had a CCO and I convinced myself if I'm going to buy any makeup today it'll be discounted... They didn't have the brushes that I wanted or anything appealing. And in Discover Mills there isn't a MAC store. So I drove a little further to the Mall of Georgia, they have a Sephora and a Mac and plenty other stores. I walked past all the clothing stores no problem. I didn't wanna buy any clothes today I guess. Then I walked into Sephora... Kill me now. I was just there yesterday!!!!

At Sephora I got-
Nars Blush: Albatross (for my friend)
Nars Duo: Brazil
Too Faced Shadow Insurance (for my friend, it doesn't work on my lids)
Benefit Cream Shadow: Busy Signal
Benefit Cream Shadow: Stiletto
Benefit Cream Shadow: Get Figgy
Cargo Mascara : Lash Activator
Urban Decay Liquid Liner : Perversion
Clinique moisturizing gel : this is the only thing i'm keeping, well exchanging. Cause I got the wrong one. I got the one for oily skin instead of dry skin.

At MAC I got-
109 Brush
190 Brush: Don't need this!! I have plenty of foundation brushes that work great with my moistureblend foundation.
Dazzleglass: Smile
Lipstick: Cherish
Lipstick:Madly Creative
Mineralize Blush: Daft Pink
MSF: Medium Deep

I don't need any of this stuff.. seriously. No lipsticks cause I'm so orally fixated I don't even use my NARS that I love.. ugh. I don't need the brushes, the MSFs.. my Mac Assistant told me that I don't need a powder on my skin cause I have a great complexion without it. ugh. I hate myself for getting all of this crap. Escpecially at Sephora.. It's all going back!!! Tomorrow morning!! RIGHT AWAY! well. The things in Bold I'm keeping.

And yes, I got some shoes. The whole reason why I went shopping on the first place. And i'm keeping them, even though they're too nice to wear to work. I'm keeping them and I'm wearing them outside of work too. I had to get a size 6Y.. lol, that's a Youth(kids) shoe. But I love them!!

true life: i have a makeup addiction

This morning I drove down to Georgia State so I could take my Chemistry test. You had to get 13 out of 44 to pass. LOL. I liked my odds a lot. So since I already drove down to state.. I decided I would go to Sephora in Lenox.. oh god... My project 10 pan thing.. didn't really work out. I mean. I finished some stuff.. lol. A bronzer, a couple mascaras, and thats it. geez. Well first I went to the MAC counter so I could pick up a foundation since the one I have is way too light cause I'm tan now, I got the moistureblend foundation in NC44 since I have dry skin, if you have oily skin I would suggest getting the Studio tech foundation. But I really love the moistureblend foundation. I don't really need that much foundation but since my skin has been peeling from the sun I need to even out my skin color. I also just picked up an extra brush from sephora. It's the foundation brush #47. And mascara, oh god. I don't need any more mascara. But I picked up the too faced lash injection. I've never tried it but it looks promising. When I walked into sephora I went straight to the NARS section to check out some new eyeshadows. And it wasn't until I just took the pictures that I noticed the colors are SUPER similar. LOL. too similar. But I swatched them again and they look different. But honestly not that diffrent. I should have just chosen one of them. I got Key Largo(left) and Summer Time(Right). At sephora I always spend about 4 hours just looking and picking, my basket gets bigger, then it gets smaller. LOL cause I really can't make any decisions lol. But since I ran out of my bronzer I picked up a new one, I went with Stila bronzer in shade 1. And since Tao (iamgrape1119) raves and raves about the smudge pots I decided to pick one up and try it out. And last but not least. I went to Urban Decay and picked up the "Get Baked" Palette!! YAY! =) I been wanting this for so long! I'm so into bronzers and the Sin primer potion. I picked up a bottle, and yes, I got the new tip applicator. Also I got another Zero eyeliner and one in Yeyo which is like a metallic white. It's really one of the best eyeliners because it stays on and it goes on smoothly. AND yes, god. I got another mascara. The big Fatty waterproof.. I really need to stop it with the freaking mascaras. I've got a million tubes that are full and new in my drawer.. OH WELL! =) oh yea, I forgot. You know I couldn't leave Sephora without picking up a bottle of nail polish.. I got Metro Chic (its a purple/grey color) it's very strange.. But I like it. I'm not really sure why, but I picked it up and I love it. LOL. The pictures didn't really come out that well so I'm not posting it up. But there are pictures on the website.
