Colorful Makeup and Update

I haven't posted anything in so long. I haven't been going out for anything other than driving class and when I have gone out I didn't really do my makeup or come up with a cute outfit. Actually, on Saturday I went shopping with my mom to get some stuff for the house from Christmas Tree Shop and a gift for her friend for mother's day. We actually ended up going to JC Penney and were so surprised!

I have seen the new commercials for JC Penney but I didn't really take much notice since they have gotten a reputation of having cheap, no brand, or just plain ugly clothes and products. After getting my mom some new bed sheets, we went to the second floor where all the women's clothes were. It was so beautiful!

They had that giant red square from the commercials, sleek white tiles and walls, a Sephora booth under construction and mannequins front and center with very beautiful maxi dresses. I basically would've taken the dresses off the mannequins if I could. When we got to look around we say that there was a display for MNG by Mango!

There was this beautiful print for a top, maxi dress, and sundress. It was the first thing I saw and I was able to get the shirt. There was also this red dress that was very conservetive from the front but once you turned it around you could see it had a diamond shaped opening on the lower back and was kept closed by buttons. The material was so soft too! My mom agree that it was very pretty. She bought herself a coral colored shirt made of the same soft material.

I haven't taken pictures of either of the pieces because I have yet to wear them and I didn't think I would be doing a blog post. I think I'm going to be doing these more often since this is the third day I have hit the post limit on my tumblr account.

I do text posts there now, but I don't see how they're useful on here. They're just little blurbs of annoyances. I would rather not keep bad comments on here (except for that post about my ex boyfriend). I like this to be soft and pretty.

There really isn't much to talk about though. I've been trying to get back into gyaru more. I still have my EGG magazine subscription (I've had it for almost 3 years) and I still wear circle lenses when I'm actually going out. However, my makeup isn't very gyaru. I don't like doing a very natural eye or doing something of a panda shape either.

I very much enjoy colors, even though there are times that I hold back depending where I'm going. Today I went to driving school and decided to try out a look that I had seen prettylilmzgrace do. The video can be found here.

I am once again subscribed to her channel because I absolutely love her makeup looks. They are exactly what I like to do and she's an inspiration. However, I did unsunscribe after what I heard about BitchSlap Cosmetics and found that she still promotes their products. I will never personally buy them but her creativity is hard to find.

Usually, all I see on youtube is everyday/natural/simple makeup looks. They're basically the same thing recreated over and over again. I already know how to do a super natural eye on myself and how to pump it up. I don't need that. So I will subscribe to her even if I don't fully understand why she puts herself in such danger.

Anyway, here's the makeup look. I only used shadows from the BH Cosmetics 88 Matte Color Palette, Hard Candy Stroke of Gorgeous eyeliner in the darkest black, Decolog Who's in Dolly, NYX blush in Pinky, Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer, Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Creme Brulee, and MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC40.

I really need to get my hair done at the salon again. I want to finally go all blonde and get my hair super layered because it is very heavy. Straightening it leaves my hair looking like a lion's mane. I have so much root growth too that it's awful. -___-

I just realized that the last picture looks like something in a year book! LOL. I don't smile like that in school pictures though. I just look like that HBC that if she smiles she'll just make all the other girls look ugly. HAHAHA. I wonder how it feels to be like Regina George. Must be something like how Kyary Pamyu Pamyu feels.

Goodnight, though! I can post on tumblr again and that's what I'll be wasting my time on for the night!

3 YEARS WITH 2NE1! And current anthem thanks to my ex.

Makeup that I recently bought and liked

I don't even know how to start this post. I've been procrastinating to write on here and I'm not even sure why. I could've written this yesterday but by the time I was ready (all the pictures from my phone had loaded onto my computer) it was 2 am and I wasn't going to sit here until 4 am typing away.

Anyway. Since my life is basically at a stand still when it comes to excitement, I'll talk about shopping, music and some personal crap that is REALLY boring, even to me.

I just noticed earlier that I haven't been shopping for clothes in months and that made me a little sad. Maybe before the summer officially starts my mom will be willing to go out and splurge a bit with me.

Aside from that I have been shopping for other people and for makeup (which has also been neglected wtf). My package from honeycolor finally came it. I got the Dolly Wink No. 2 Sweet Girly and Decolog Who's in Dolly.

Neither of those are natural looking, which is a good thing. I have yet to actually wear them out so I think I'll try them out tonight when I go to driving school.

I also picked up some much needed makeup products:

I love these setting sprays by Urban Decay! I had the original all-nighter but decided to try this one since I do get oily on my t-zone during the day. So far I've noticed that it leaves a weird film on my forehead if I just spritz it on and don't put on foundation. However, it takes longer for my nose to become oily. I haven't tried this with my MAC foundation though so yeah.

This is my absolute favorite bronzer EVER. It is matte and dark. It is a bit pricey but it lasts forever, smells like chocolate, and gives me nice color without making me look orange or like I sprayed gold glitter on my face. I do like shimmery bronzer but only during the summer. Which reminds me, I'll be needing to find one pretty soon. Maybe I'll try MAC's mineralize skinfinish in gold deposit. I don't know. I'll see what people are raving about before I go out and spend $30 on any other bronzer.

Since so many people swear this is a great concealer for a low price I decided to pick it up. I think it's a bit too light for me but if I put it over foundation it covers the darkness leftover and adds a nice light that doesn't highlight the circles. I really like it after playing around with it for a while. I'll go pick up a color up and see how well that works alone. Maybe.

Now this stuff is beautiful. I got in Tiki since it was the only one there and it would be a nice highlighter. It is SO PRETTY and SO PIGMENTED that I can't believe how cheap it was. If I can pick up the darker shades I will definitely use them as bronzer on top of my Chocolate Soleil for that extra dewy shimmer. I've used it all over and it is beautiful.

Also, since I needed a new eyeliner, I picked up this last Hard Candy product. It's called Stroke of Gorgeous and it lives up to its name. It's basically a felt pen and it is very easy to control. The liner comes off matte and dark. It is so perfect. I would have picked up the new Maybelline eyeliner but I couldn't find it in very black (which is the only color I will ever pick up basic eyeliner).

There are so many makeup products that I want to try. I've already picked up all the Revlon lip butters that I wanted, and I have two out of the 4 or 5 color tattoo 24 hour cream shadow. And yesterday I picked up the Illegal Lengths mascara. I'm excited to try it because of the "fiber extensions".

I would love to try the Maybelline master precise ink pen, Volum' Express turbo boost mascara, and the tattoo cream shadow in the shades pomegranate punk, audacious asphalt, and edgy emerald.

Also I'm super excited to get my hands on the new Too Faced Summer Eye Summertime Sexy Eyeshadow palette. The color are so pretty and perfect. This is the first time I have actually really wanted a Too Faced eyeshadow palette. I mean, I already have the Naked palette and they do so many palettes with neutral or natural colors. There's the smokey eyeshadow one that I really have been wanting but I could get a deal on one of those on eBay for sure.

I honestly have nothing going on socially. I'm not going to tell the story about the guy I met because that turned into a bust. I think it was just one of those things that came my way to help me ease out of the break up and transition into a better mood.

It's not like I didn't feel like shit after the break up and while that situation with the new boy was fading. If anyone follows my tumblr they'll see my depressed days and then my recovery.

But I am in a much better mood than I could ever have been otherwise. I have to thank my cousin for that because she really wanted me to stay away from secluding myself for a couple of days. I don't know where my mind would be if she hadn't occupied my time.

I'm also trying to get in touch with some people I haven't talked to in a while. It's funny that people say that you shouldn't stop talking to your friends because you're in a relationship but I feel like some friends make that hard to do. Most of my guy friends backed off once they saw I was in a relationship. It really makes no sense to me.

I love all my boys but only in a platonic way so I have no idea why they would feel the need to get away from me. Most of them even knew Steven personally so it made even less sense.

Anyway I'm back to talking to a few people that I've been missing, such as my unicorn Kyle and my old texting buddy Andrew. It's funny. I actually confessed to Andrew that I was super depressed when I came back home from college and how I was probably never going to be friends with Steven again.

Me and Andrew have a weird friendship. During junior year and the beginning of senior year I wanted to grab his intestines, rip them out, and wrap them around his mouth to keep him quiet. He thought so highly of himself and never knew how to be quiet.

He was part of ROTC with me and while we were hosting a week-long "camp" for the incoming ROTC freshmen the week before school started he would go on tangents in front of the groups, especially the first day. We had to cut him off. I almost threw a chair at him.

I think after a few talks he got the hint that being a pompous ass to new recruits was not the way to get them to listen to you. He improved over the year but I was never close with him. It wasn't until after he finished boot camp and while I was at school that we started texting him.

He's just easy to talk to because I think he's always thought highly and kindly of me even when I wanted to kill him. I'm pretty sure he was aware of the times I wanted him dead because I was very vocal about it. I cursed him out once. Ah, life. So full of surprises.

Here's a picture of me in my AFJROTC uniform:

Medals and ribbons galore! While I was looking for one of these pictures I stumbled across all the pictures I took senior year. They all make me so pumped to go back to blonde! I loved how nice my skin looked with the honeyed color.

 Here's a recent picture of me. Out of all the pictures I took that day this is the only one that is even slightly passable so here it is.

First Post

I haven't had a full on blog in a really long time and I missed it. =/ So here I am, starting all over for my enjoyment!

I'm super exciting that is has been snowing since 11 AM today. It's supposed to keep snowing until tomorrow so the snow will be super pretty for my date on Friday. ^__^

Technically, it's our first date out, since the our last time out we only planned to go as friends and ended up talking about how we had feelings for each other for a long time.

Oh! Last night (well, it's not really last night, more like very early this morning) he texted me because he was at the base to be sworn in to the Marines or whatever. He woke up much earlier than he needed to and texted me. =] Lucky for him I was still awake because I was driving myself crazy thinking of all the things that were going wrong or that had once hurt me so bad. I was really making myself sad. But after just a few texts back and forth I was feeling so much better and calm.

We were just playing around and I swear I turn into a different person so late at night! I'm usually not very sappy or cute when it comes to talking to someone I like. I am very genuine about my compliments and flirtations. Re-reading my texts really makes me wonder what I was on last night!

Anyway, he made it clear to me last night that he is really looking forward to making me his girlfriend but he wants to surprise me! I wonder what that means? Does he mean it'll be on a special day, publicly, with a gift? I've known this kid for over a year but his surprises are still a mystery to me.

Well, aside from that I haven't done anything special. I've been meaning to play my Star Wars game but I get stuck either reblogging on Tumblr or looking through old secrets on Gyaru_Secrets. Plus, I'm re-reading Xiaxue's blog from the beginning again. I swear, she is such an inspiration to me! I really do plan on growing out my hair and dying it pink.

Since my hair is currently a reddish brown (I say chocolate brown and this is what I get) I will have to start with highlights again to get it to blonde. Sigh. I hate that process but I don't want orange hair. Plus after I get it fully blonde, I'll ask my stylist to bleach it and let it recover for a few months and then go pink.

I swear my hair is always healthier when I'm blonde. Plus, I love having my tan and the blonde hair because it just looks amazing.

I'm not sure when I'm going to start cosmetology school. If they have classes in the middle of summer I might start after Steven leaves for boot camp in July. It'll help keep me busy while he gets suited before he can send me letters. Ah, I'm so exciting for the next few months.

Once I have my license and my car I'll be all set to get a little part time job too. I really do need the money though. Since I'm not a college out of state anymore my mom doesn't give me much of an allowance. I could seriously use some new false lashes and a lighter. Other than that I could be happy with what I have.

Hm, I don't have much else to say about today so I'll leave it here.

My newest girl crush!
