Just Some Tidbits

Hello everyone! I just wanted to a short little post

on some random things that I've 

been meaning to share. 

I hope you're not too mad at me for not posting recently :)

I cleaned my brushes the other day after I cleaned 

my bathroom. I was in the cleaning mood and

my brushes were my victim. 

Also while cleaning my bathroom I found my

stash of face masks I totally completely forgot

I had from christmas. I didn't

realize how many I have. 

And if you've never used theses little beauties before 

I seriously suggest you go and get them and thank me later.

The Spin Pins from Goody are wonderful and actually 

do keep my hair in a bun. 

My hair is long and thick and it actually holds it in place!

New Make Up

So sorry for the lack of posts 

these few weeks. 

I lost my blogging mojo -.-

But now I'm back!

And I went to Target....

The first thing I bought was Illegal Length Mascara 

from Maybelline.

I saw this in the store last week and I didn't know

it was a new mascara so I just brushed it by

but when I started seeing posts about it

I knew I had to try it and boy am I 

glad I did! 

One swipe and OMG the length 

is amazing. Just one swipe was all I needed, 

but I contented to do my usually 400+ swipes lol.

I am very pleased with this mascara and I know

I will be buying this again.

The next item I bought was Maybelline 

Dream Bouncy Blush 05 fresh pink.

I saw numerous posts about this blush and it's texture. 

I mainly wanted to buy this to try out the texture and boy was I 

pleasantly surprised! Its like a foam bouncy ball

that you can press and mold kind of like a clay. 

Now the color pay off isn't that great. 

It's really sheer and I had to keep building it up

on my cheeks. 

Even though I kept having to build it up

I love the soft glow it left on my cheeks. 

Sorry I didn't take any pictures. I completely forgot :(

Messing Around With My Camera

For Christmas I got this nifty new Nikon Camera,

that I have no idea how to work

so I these are just some pictures of me

messing around with it.

As you can tell I'm having a hard time getting the focus just right.

NOTD Gaga Style

How chic are these nails?

I mean they are HOT! 

and totally Lady Gaga worthy.

I went and finally had a mani/pedi 

after about a month of putting it off

and this was the creation 

I decided on. 

Black gel with my ring fingers covered in 

rhinestones. 

It's Haul Time!

As any girl would say, shopping can cure bad days

make good days better, cheer you up, 

and just all around make you feel

glamourous. 

This is just a mini haul of the stuff I got today.

Nothing too fancy smancy. 

I saw this at Ulta a while back and I wanted it
for the little charm, as I think
the pink polish is a little
too light for me.
None the less it does support breast cancer
and my mom and I had to have it.

Ever since I saw the first advertisement for this 
I knew I had to try it out, but every time
I would go and look for it, it would be sold out!
But not this time! My mom found some finally.
I got the grape flavor and she got the fruit punch flavor, 
then a day latter my boyfriend and I went back and he got
me the peach one :)
I actually thought these were going to be so much better.
They are a step below regular old chapstick.
And they leave a nasty after taste....

At Ulta they had a sale on old O.P.I colors.
Usually they are $8.99 but they were reduced down to  $4.99
50% off? Who wouldn't buy them!
I actually forgot the name of the colors, but I know the green one is
from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection.
They also had a huge array of Ulta brand polishes on sale for 99 cents.
I got Piñata Yada Yada. It's super similar to Rainbow Connection.

See the similarities?

Don't judge me. I loved this pattern and I intend
to wear it even if it is a whole 10 months
until Halloween again.
And they were on sale for $4.99 from $9.99

If you've been a reader of my blog you
know by now that I love this Organix Moroccan Argon Oil Penetrating Oil
so when I saw this one for dry coarse hair I had to have it.
My hair is as dry as the Savannah desert!
And I used it already and Oh my gosh
it left my hair feeling ahhh-mazing.

I've seen a few blog posts about this eyeliner
and I thought what the heck
why not give it a try?
Turns out, I actually LOVE this
eyeliner! The little brush it comes with
works better than any eyeliner brush I've used so far.
And the color pay off is great.
It's inky black and doesn't smudge. 

The Original and Extra Strength Organix
Moroccan Argan Oil

I bought the Macadamia oil hair mask a few weeks ago
and when I went to Target today I saw this little beauty.
It seems like the same exact thing but for a fraction of the price.
I haven't used this one yet, but I'll let you know
how it goes when I do.

So that was my little haul of the day!
If you have any questions ask away.

2011 In Pictures

Let's face it, 2011 was one heck of a year.

It was another year closer to the end of the world. (If you really do believe in the whole 2012 world ending thing...)

I made it through my 21st birthday unharmed and with a minimal hangover.

I passed my last math class that I needed to take!

There was heartache, happiness, sadness, ice cream, and so much love 

this year that I can't simply write everything out!

30 scoops of ice cream??? 

If you follow me on twitter you know how much I despise math!

Christmas this year was bittersweet. 
My cousin wasn't able to celebrate with us because breast cancer took her too soon.

I was able to party legally :)

Steve Jobs died.
MacBook, iPhone, and iPad
I love them all!

My mom surprised me with a beautiful cake!

L.A was at it's usual glory with smog, fast drivers,
great food, and long heat waves.

My mom got married this past October in Vegas. 

My Boyfriend doesn't seem to like taking pictures.

Another year at the county fair!

I miss her more and more everyday.

Thanksgiving brought us a great turkey dinner
with great friends and family.

Oh the imagination of a 6 year old.

The breathing treatment I had to get.
I'm still sick :(

He kept posing for pictures! How cute is he?

Pomegranate Martinis became my favorite.

Who can not love Uggs?
Even in this heat I still wear them around the house.

I bet you can't beat my score!

My dad and I started taking again.

Long hair and I don't care.

I think aliens are invading. 

I know a lot more stuff happened this year, but the post would have been way too long!

I'm so grateful for all of my friends and family.

With out them I don't think I would have the great life I have.

How was your 2011? 

Was it great or will 2012 be your year to shine?

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to tell everyone 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Make sure you make 2012 the best year yet!

Oh and I hope everyone had a wonderful time celebrating

and 

getting that special New Year's kiss.

P.S I hope you didn't end up like this 

poor little kitten with a broken arm from 

celebrating too much :)
