Product Love

I love the Revlon Creme Glosses!  I picked up two on a whim at my local drugstore for 75% off regular price.  I got mine in the color "Hot Tamale" and "Peachy Sheen."  I have been wearing Peachy Sheen for everyday use, to school and such.  I love Hot Tamale for the simple fact that it is a wearable red lip without being too overbearing.  The color pay off is great, but the color does start to fade after eating and what have you.  The glosses are so creamy and not sticky at all, which is someting I find from other brands, like Victoria Secret.  The packaging is very nice and I like the long, skinny tube.  The gloss has a dial at the bottom, which you turn to get more product.  The only annoying thing is the slight clicky noise it makes every time you turn it, but I think that is really minor in comparison to the quality of the product.

Modern Love

Dull and rainy day.  The kind of day that makes one wish they had not applied layer upon layer of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara on their eyelashes because it simply smears when you walk out the door.  Speaking of Voluminous, I fell back in love with it today after a slight hiatus.  My eyelashes look like falsies, which lately has been the look I am loving.  I have it in the Carbon Black version.




I also wore another product from L'Oreal today.  It is one of their endless wear lipsticks in the color "In the Buff."  It is a rather nice nude.  Some find it drying, but I would never wear it without chapstick, so I don't seem to have that problem. 

La Musica

I cannot get the new Katy Perry song, California Gurls, out of my head.  Loves it...

And gorgeous album cover.....

Well...

As not to make it a year since my last post, I have decided to take up blogging yet again. Let's skip the boring rant about being busy and such.

I recently purchased the Revlon lipstick in Pink Pout that is part of their matte line. I had heard it could be a decent dupe for the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and Mac Snob. I was hesitant at first about buying it, but ended it up picking it up at my local Target for around 5 dollars. We were going out to dinner that night, so I decided to put it on. I put a layer of Carmex as I had heard the matte lipsticks tend to be extremely drying. After I applied it, my mother said she liked it. For some reason, my mother's opinion of makeup and clothes always solidifies things for me. She then went on to say that I looked like one of the girls on Jerseylicious on the Style Network. I don't really mind that either.... I still can't decide if I can actually pull it off. The lipstick has a blue undertone and for someone with Olive Skin such as myself, I just can't decide. I had a light blue Michael Kors blouse on today for school, so I decided to give the lipstick a try. I actually liked it and did not get as many strange looks as I thought I would from people around campus. The staying power is nice. I would never put the lipstick on without a chapstick underneath. I noticed that about after three hours, lines started to show on my lips. But, I was drinking a beverage in class, so rubbing off is to be expected. While I am still not sure if it is the right lipstick for me, I do think the color is gorgeous. I am gonna to keep wearing it most likely, until someone tells me I look like a crazy person.

Swell

So, I am loving my new Acer laptop, I am not finding enough time to use it. Especially considering the fact that I worked 19 hours on Wednesday! 19 Hours! I am turning into a work-a-holic. Date night tonight... I have a cute sailor outift picked out. Wohoo.

Perhaps

This morning in the Detroit Free Press, I was performing my weekly ritual of reading the Career Builder section that my father always pushes in front of me, whilst trying to drink my coffee. This weeks feature article in the section was about how people should take to blogging as something that would coincide with a resume. The blog should not include just personal ramblings, but thoughts on worldly events and such. This blog would then become a way of obtaining a writing sample from the person applying for a specific job.


Most of the time, I like to keep my opinions to myself about current events, as not to start fights with people who you would not usually argue with. I also don’t want people to know my views on everything, because I am usually paranoid and figure that most people would want to get an edge over me. Or perhaps think that they have me all figured out. A person is more than what they blog about. Personally, if someone wanted to express every opinion that held about everything in their life, I find them a tad bit desperate. There are other ways of expressing oneself, than simply through the keyboard beneath their fingers.

Better in Moderation

Besides listening to my neighbors yelling at their kids at the top of their lungs, today has been particularly uneventful. I am accustomed to tedious days in this town. The weather isn't quite right for tanning, not that I especially feel like it at this time anyway. There is a carninval in town, which I had no idea about. It is amazing how I can live in a town and have absolutely no idea about activities going on locally. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the only places I find myself at are my home, and the two houses I work at.


I think there is something wrong with me when not anything materialistic appeals to me. I actually walked in a store in Rochester yesterday and was bored. I guess that is an okay development. Just think of all the money I will save....


I want to see several horror films coming out in September. Jennifer's Body and Sorority Row. Other than that I think that August is going to be a particularly long month.


I have no idea what I am going to do for two weeks, considering the fact that I don't have to work until August 4th.

State of the Union

Is it strange to be completely sick of floral prints altogether. Why do my tastes change so much? Now I am in the mood the decorate my room in a Mexican style. I found this awesome vintage pottery owl from Mexico and made Charlie buy it for me. I really wanted this large vintage print of a burlesque dancer. She sort of looked like me. $300.00 was a bit much for it I believe. I suppose I could bargain.

pfft

It was another day of learning about Bernardo O'Higgins and the Royal Navy. I have so many essays due next week, but oddly find myself dreading the end of the semester. I am just not sure of the state of things. I also keep forgetting that I even have this blog. I guess I am not a dependable person.

Wishful Thinking

For a couple of days now I have been wishing it was the 80's. I used to feel that way all the time in high school. Apparently all these 80's movies are making me whimsical. I just finished watching "Can't Buy Me Love." Definitely not the best 80's teen movie, but it satisfied my fix for now.
