Review.

Maybeline's

Define-a-Brow eye pencil.

I love this. I used to used MAC's eyebrow pencils in Lingering & Spiked. I loved it but I felt like the pencil ran out fast and each pencil is about $15. Ekk! It doesn't matter the price to me as long as I find good quality in it. The cheaper the better. This one I found at Longs Drugs for $4. :) I used the "Dark Brown" and I swear it's an exact dupe for the MAC one. :) I definately recommend this. :)

I missed One Tree Hill tonight. :( It's driving me crazy. && when we finally came home & I wanted to watch the next scenes for next weeks episode....I miss that too. Ughhh! It's okay. I'll just catch up on it, online when it uploads Wednesday night. :)

Dad's home! He was in vegas from Thursday night. Gosh we missed him. It's crazy how unnormal it was to not have dad home. :( but no big.

I found an old Barnes & Nobles gift card last night & when I went there today I had $10 still on it! woohoo! So I bought a few books. :) Which is a really bad habbit that I should stop at once. I always buy books when I still have yet to finish book prior. 

I also went to MAC today. :) haha how lovely those words are. I spend WAY more than I intended too. :( All I told myself was.. "Only brush cleaner....only brush cleaner." but then when I walked up to the counter at Kahala Macy's, they had they're holiday collection out. GREAT. another dent in my wallet I thought. haha. So I saw the Melon Pigment that I've been wanting for SOOOOO long & I asked if they had it in the permanent collection. Guess what? NO! but it was part of one of their holiday sets. In one of the two  "Lip & Eye Bags". Inside it had...

- Melon Pigment

- Rich Ground Fluidline

- Zoom Lash Mascara - Travel size

- 209 LE brush

The fluidline was gorgeous, & I've been wanting a 209 brush....so I kinda talked myself into getting it. hahah Which I must say was a good investment because I LOVE the melon pigment :). 

That's all. Ciao!

makeup time :)

Lately I've been loving the Coastal Scents 88 Warm palette. My mom, sister and I made a some orders last month on the Coastal Scents website. I've been waiting one for a while and I've heard of a bunch of people who have it. I've been eyeing out products from that site so I showed my sister and mom && we loved it.

Our orders:

Mom - 26 shadow blush combo palette

this suits her well because she always wears purples and dark pinks and browns and she likes to be simple and the palette has 5 blushes inside. So she loves it.

Sister - 88 shimmer palette & 88 matte palette

mom and i got it for her birthday and she's been loving it. she likes to try things with new colors and those palettes have literally EVERY color she would possibly think of. :D

Me - 88 warm palette.

I just wanted to try out all of our palettes before purchasing more and it works out because i've been using sister's ones alot. haha.

but lately i've been doing this neutral brown look for an every day && i love it. I didn't think of it on my own sadly but i really like this makeup guru on youtube and she did a tutorial on it && i've been replicating that look almost everyday now. :) MakeupbyTiffanyD

- I didn't have the same shadestick that she used so I used the MAC Indianwood paintpot which is more goldy but it still makes the browns and taupe-y colors pop. :) && because I used a paintpot which creases on me sometimes I used my Urban decay primer potion which i laaaaav. :) I only thing that i heard about it is that when it seems like you run out of it (since it's a weird shaped bottle) that sometimes you have to cut it open at the base  of it and then scoop the rest out because there is ALOT more product in there than you think.

Check it out!.

21!

21!!!! yay! well...it's probably not as exciting as i thought. haha especially since it's a monday. gotta wait to party hard until this weekend. :) teehee. haha. but anyways here's how my day went.....

Babe bought me a tattoo for my birthday. haha i really wanted one for about a year now but my parents have been against it and my mama said that if i got one before i turned 21 then she would kick me out of the house. haha so i guess i waited. buuuut yeah. so i made the appointment at Sudden Rush in waipahu for Monday October 19 (the day of my actual birthday) and i wanted to get it from the same guy who tatted my cousin and her husband. BUT he doesn't work on mondays so I made the appointment for last thursday. :) That fucka was sore. I mean I expected it to be painful but since i got it on my foot, he said it's one of the most sore spots to get tatted on. HAHA figures. but he said if i could handle that spot then if I do decide to get other tats then i'd get through them piece of cake. :D but yeah I love it but my foot is still healing and i didn't know until afterwards that the foot takes the LONGEST to heal. Uhhh.....but i still love it. Thank, BABE!

So then yesterday was my ACTUAL birthday. Woke up && sister got me  Hello Kitty drawer for my makeup which is exactly what i needed and kudo points for it being hello kitty :) hahah & then i got Tuscana heels & Steve Madden black boots from Mama&Dad. :) I love it so bad haha. Mom said she was "inspired" to get those because of my tattoo. (She likes it now, but at first she didn't like the size of it and wants me to make sure to cover it up as much as possible for work and important stuff, but now she's cool with it). 

Then unfortunately I had class. :( but when it was finished I went to babe's house & then we went shopping for his dinner that he was gonna make for me. :) & he bought me Stargazer Lilies. :) my FAVORITE. :D i love my hunnie. He's so sweet. Then we went home....cruised for a while...& then we went back out around 5ish to pick up his cousin from school.

OMG so on the way back to his house...(we was driving MY car by the way) we was passing punahou and all of a sudden my tire came off!!! my whole tire. WTF. it was so weird. but we found the tire by the street and it wasn't blown out. it was perfectly fine. so i called my dad and he turned around on his way home to come rescue me. ughhh poor dad. aha. but then a woman drives up nexts to us and parks, gets out of her car, and comes over and tells me that after my tire blew off, it rolled down the hill and hit her car! OMG what now!!!! but she was real cool about it. her front bumper was just misaligned. thats all && her husband was so kind enough to go pick up the bolts from the middle of the street to give them back to us. :)

so basically we had everything we need and all the parts....just everything was disassembled. :) hahaha. ughhh. so dad came (in his fully stocked tools truck. MATCO TOOLS represent! haha!) & fixed my tire. but the breaks was still kind of bad.

so we went back home and josh started making his dinner. (poor thing he wanted to start earlier but no :( hah.) & my dad calls to tell me that while my car was in the shop this past weekend, the technician loosened up my tire to check the break. WHAT THE FCUK. what if i was on the fricken freeway. holy shit. i was so livid with them. sue their asses mannnn. ughhhh. soo dad and i need to take care of that this week. *shakes head*. 

so back to my day.....babe's dinner was amazing. Fettacini alfredo with mushrooms & shrimp with garlic bread. :) YUM! & he made a cupcake tower with candles as my bday cake. haha. thanks to his sister for frosting them. :D & then i opened gifts. 

I LOVE MY INLAWS. seriously I couldn't ask for BETTER inlaws. since day 1 they've been the best at making me feel like I belong in their family. :) awww i love you guys. :)

that's all. haha. babe and I had a glass of wine while we ate dinner but...we both didn't like it...haha...so we're going out tonight (Tuesday) after he's done with work and go out and drink. we was sooo hella tired from yesterday...the car....making dinner.....it was too tiring to go out again. so yeah. we'll be drinking tonight!!! yay! okayyy...thats all. BYE!

Summary

Whoa. It's been a hell of a while since I last posted. 

ANYWAYS...nothing much has changed or has happened really. Just the same old same old. School and Work. which neither is going anywhere it feels likes. I feel like at this point in my life...it's kind of like a "waiting room" phase.

Like with school....I've been skipped class like crazy. I'm kinda thinking that school really just isn't for me. I mean I've been paying for school this and last semester and I don't feel like it's worth it sometimes. I know that I should be wayyy wayyy focused but I can't seem to get the jist of things. I mean I know getting that degree is what I should be focusing on but...idk. I was talking to my sister the other day and I told her about not going to class and she feels like I should quit school and do a full time job. With that said one one hand I would much rather pursue makeup and start taking those classes, branching out, and doing that full time....and then on the other...my gut is telling me to atleast finish my AA degree. It's really been driving me insane but it keep in undercover because I just know that if any of that got back to my parents, I would never hear the end of it.

Then with work. Arghh. I mean I am so grateful that I have this job and I know there is a bunch of people who was just laid off of their long time careers but it's not going anywhere. I mean I love love love the people I work with and since it is my first real job, I'm so comfortable with them. I don't know. Babe feels like I should find another job because he always sees me not happy about my job. I'm thinking after christmas time, I might put in my resignation. With thaaat said, I need to get my ass in gear with finding another job.

I feel like a fresh start with everything. School situation...work situation.....living situation....money situation.....working out situation.....all of it.

Atleast me and the boyfriend have been doing good. I mean we have our personal issues and ups and downs, but I really can't see myself without him. I mean I've done it once, and don't get me wrong....I can handle it on my own...but I'm just so attached to him and his family that since it's the second time around....i really REALLY can't picture my life without him. We make 4 years on December 30th. && I have a few gifts lined up for him. I mean those cost money (which I don't have for it now) but I will be saving my ass up like crazy November and December if I want to get those things for him. Last weekend a friend of mine made a comment about us: "I'm surprized you two aren't engaged?" Whoa. I mean he's my boyfriend of 4 years and all but DDDAMN. Engaged? Scary thought huh? I mean we're both still not finished with college, both still living in our own homes (even though I stay at his house most of the week), we don't have alot of money... I mean his job pays him good and mine...well...mine isn't paying for us....but i don't know. When I started thinking about it more...I started thinking to myself : When ARE we getting engaged? I hope that it's somewhere within the next 1 1/2 years.  Atleast hopefully by then ill have my AA, have a full time job, and we'll be moved out. *Fingers Crossed.* It'll all come in time. I just know that I love him and that's all I need right now. :)

Just a quick summary of life as I know it now. :)

Have a great day everyone!

Until next time...

It's been a while.

So. Here's the scoop about what's been goin on.

Last Friday, sister and I took a girl day together. We haven't done one in a while and it was the last weekend of her summer so we wanted to go.

Colored my hair back to my root color but it's a little darker because my hairstylist said that the color will fade slower this way. I been going to the same guy for a while & he's amazing. He's really thorough and he's been in the haircutting/beauty/makeup business for a long time. He also gives an AMAZING neck and head massage when you wash your hair there.

Stylist : Bret

& I cut it a little. Before I really liked the length & I told him to keep the length but he could take off the dead ends. & then for the whole time I was waiting for the color to set in under the dryer I was contemplating on cutting my bangs BUT i decided not to. & then when he went to go cut the split ends by my bang layers he cut wayyyy more than I expected him too. BUT i LOOOOOVE it. :) Everyones been saying that it's too dark for me and that they liked my light hair. but I think I like my DARK hair way more now. :) Plus it'll be easier to keep up. :)

Then we went to go do our nails at City Nails in waipahu. Sister got cheetah print toes & I got zebra print tips on my acrylics. :) I love em.

My interview was yesterday morning. & I think it went really well! I was such in a good mood yesterday because of it. I was not as nervous as the last interview I took there but this time was awesome. It was at a different location and the managers there were a whole lot more informative and thorough on the interview process. Plus they we were suppper nice. :) I hope I get the job! She said she would let me know by next Tuesday. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Sister started school today. Her first day as a Kamehameha SENIOR. mahhgawwwwd! She's getting so old already. I feel so old. ;) Haha. but I hope she has a great year! She's applying to UH, HPU, & a few west coast mainland colleges. Hopefully she goes away to college. As much as I will miss her TERRIBLY, i really really want her to experience all she can before she starts working full time at home. :) love you sister. <333 She's my best friend and my everything. :)

Saturday we went to Kale's house for the UFC fights. The fights were good. The Anderson/Griffion fight was weird. Everyone swears the fact that Griffin was paid to throw the fight. Suuuuper weird. Then the BJ Penn fight was awesome. Even though KenFlo tried to take him to the floor by pushing him agains the wall MOST of the fight...BJ conquered ofcourse!! He was in MUCH better shape than his GSP fight. BJ! BJ! BJ! Then Lucy & her college friend Filiz came down to talk story. Mygoshhh I have laughed that hard in a while. SO many stories Lucy has. Geez. We're getting together tonight us 4 and rachel because Lucy & Filiz leaves for NYC on Friday so One last get together until we see her in December!! Atleast by then we'll ALL be 21. woopwoop!! Lucy turned 21 in Feb. So long time ago already, then me & rachel turn 21 in October. So yeah. December will be FUN!!

Okay this is long. Have a good day! Toodles!

Wednesday

So far. I'm on page 43 of The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. The movie adaptation comes out August 14th. Next Friday. I'm so excited to watch it. The book is awesome and I hope I finish reading it by at least daytime of next week Friday. :D Oh yeah. I love Rachel McAdams. She's an awesome actress. &&& Eric Bana. O-M-G. I looooooved him in Troy & Lucky Seven. MMMmmmm. OMG. even though he's married & has a few kids, he's still on my top 5 list.

Babe was supposed to come over for dinner last night. I was all excited & sister even invited her boyfriend over for dinner. BUT babe got caught up with payment stuff for his new car since he scratched it a few weeks ago and he needed to schedule the rust proff. So now since that's done with and after a few horrendous phone calls, he's coming over tonight after he's done work at 7. Hopefully he ACTUALLY does come over. && hopefully it'll be a great night.

I need to stop by MAC on the way home. Here's some things on my list that I've been eyeing to get:

- Quite Natural Paintpot
- Mulch Eyeshadow
- Blanc Type Eyeshadow
- Bare Slimshine
- Brush cleaner

I'm out of my cleaner. OMG that thing is my holygrayle for cleaning my brushes. I feel so lost when I don't have anymore. It's like part of my daily makeup routine. Clean brushes during and after I'm done with my makeup.

&& then I wanna stop by Don Qujiote afterwards. Jeez. I've only been there once yesterday and mann I gotta go there more often. Sister and I met Mom there because we needed to buy sister's cheer bonding favors and stuff. & when I went in the makeup isle. holy crap. so cheap. it's like Longs ON SALE...all the time & I wanna pick up some NYX lashes too. So cheap there. & I wanna get the NYX jumbo eye pencils. I don't have any of them but I've been reading up about them and theres a few in mind I wanted to get & guess what. So cheap. Haha.

That's all. Laters.
