Hey all!

So I was in a big rush this morning and did a smokey eye while driving -- more like at red lights, ha. No worries I didn't actually DRIVE and do my make-up.

Anywho this is just a picture of my eyes b/c my skin is having a mind of it's own lately (ugh). I rarely have problems with my skin but when it flares up, it really flares up. I was also curious about how people put their names on their pictures so no one can steal them. Do any of you do that? Do you think it's wise?

This look is messy so I doubt people would steal it hahaha but I mean other pictures.

Anywho, onto the eyes.

This week I'll be uploading a review of a Barry M product I received in a swap.

Also a small haul from this evening will go up tomorrow.

For whatever reason whenever I re-size the pictures they look weird and kind of washed out but on my photobucket you can see the colors. Rawr.

Anyhow, I used my Storm Palette I got from Nicola!

I'll be doing a review on that soon as well.

Also I'll list the names of the colors I used tomorrow.. I used 3 different colors, a shimmery white, a navy blue, and a black.

Let me also say that the black in this palette is so GOOD. I'm going to have to say it beats out my MAC Carbon thus far. I feel like the color is much more intense.

Oh & I didn't have time to do mascara in case you were wondering.

I also hope I get better at taking pictures of my eyes. It's hard!!!

In and Out: number 2

Ins & Outs #2

In ♥

1) Urban Outfitters

I have loved this store for many upon many years. When I went to school in New York there was one 2 blocks away and it was amazing and I lived in there. Anyhow, I had heard they were putting one in NJ near me and didn't think much of it & then last night I was bored and went in..... ahhhhhh. I fell back in love to say the least and it most def beats ordering online.

2) Finding my camera cord

Which means I can finally do the haul pics that I've wanted to do

3) Makeup Swap

Nicola and I did one and I'm uber excited for it to arrive!

4) Spring Break

GOD BLESS! I was SO in need of a break & now I'm going to lounge around and clean my room & spend mega time with my siblings & Zach :o)

Out

1) Back 2 Mac

This is more of a neutral thing.. I love that they do this but it's a total pain in the butt that they don't accept eyeshadows without the pans. BUT I did receive the empty pans I purchased so let the fun begin :o) I have about 18 things that are going back so yes to 3 new things! But still... total pain about the pan thing.

2) My Diet

It has been an epic fail... so yeah.. I need to work that out for sure. I'm going to go the gym tonight so that's a start.

♥

And that's really it! I have tons of stuff to do this weekend so I'm happy. I'll be updating soon :o)

♥

Progress on my depotting mission

So I went on ecrater.com today and ordered empty eyeshadow pans so that I can put them in my soon to be depotted MAC eyeshadow cases. I feel like it's ridiculous that MAC won't take it back without the pans. I didn't ask the store near me but I did ask the counter in the one mall near me and they said no.. the girl was a major jerkface though.. I'm hoping if I do end up bringing them somewhere else they won't notice. But yes, I bought some empty pans so I can at least get rid of some of the cases I have. I'm not sure when they'll be arriving but fingers crossed that it's soon!

Also, my camera charger is m.i.a. right now & that's why I haven't had any fotd or haul pics. I'm for sure done with shopping for a bit though as I have done so much of it this week. I'm hoping I'm not lying to myself but we'll see, haha. I really want to pick up Twinks & Starflash (I think that's the name of it) eyeshadows this week though so we shall see. I'll be uploading a review this weekend of a lip product I've been using, so look for that!

Question!!!!!!

I have a question for all of you Mac e/s lovers out there..

to depot or to not depot?

Hmm.

I've been thinking about this for a while and everytime it pops into my head I go back & forth and back & forth.

When I was last in MAC I purchased a quad palette & bought my first 2 pan eyeshadows. When I get paid next I really want to purchase the 15 palette but is it really more simple? Yes, I get that all of your shadows will be in one place & organized opposed to carrying around a bag filled with them. I see the advantage there. But what if like it falls and then everything breaks? Or someone steals it? Or idk, ahhhhhhh.

Do you all find it easier to just have them in the one palette? I have about.. 18 - 21 Mac eyeshadows. I don't know the exact number.. I have a total problem of putting one down somewhere and not remembering where I put it for ages and then coming across it.. so yeah, the exact number I can't really tell you. But yeah.. idk. I like the idea of having everything in a nice clean looking palette but idk. I find it almost pathetic how much I've been debating about this, hahaha.

So yes, I'm here asking you what you do with your eyeshadows? Do you recommend to depot them? I think quite frankly I'm just going to do it but I thought I'd ask you all first what your opinions on depotting are.

Lemme know

Can I just say that being sick sucks!?!

I think I have a sinus infection, so at least it's nothing serious but still... major stinkage. I hate when you can't breathe through your nose.

A few things I'll try to update on if I find energy:

1. A mini haul. I think I'll do that tonight cause you don't necessarily need to see me

2. I got my haircut yesterday! It was only like 1 1/2 inches off but I added some face angles and stuff. I don't have my straightener with me at Zach's so if I do take a picture, you'll see how crazy my hair is. I most definitely liked it more before I cut it but hair grows back so whatevs. It needed it but after this experience I shall only be getting trims. And the women who cut it was very, very harsh with my hair and she pulled out one of my earrings! It's not like it's a bad haircut, it's very similar to a cut I had when I was 18 & I loved that cut. I just feel like the way my hair was before was better for my face and stuff. It did sorta just hang there though (which I didn't mind, ha) & now I can say it def does not.

^ I can't believe I really just wrote that much about a haircut, haha.

I was supposed to have play rehearsal and now I don't.. so now I'm up for no reason, ba hum bug. I'm going to go try to lay back down with Zachary. Expect an update laterrrrrrr.

Review Numero Uno

Aussie's Moist 3 Minute Miracle

So, my first review. I figured this would be my best bet b/c I have some of the driest hair ever. It's crazy fine and tangles very, very easily.

What it's said to do: "Deeeeep conditioning for damaged ’dos. With intense, fortifying conditioners, Moist 3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner is a seriously simple fix for dry, distressed tresses. "

My opinions: For the price it's a great product. It's a thick cream that you squeeze out of a tube (obviously, hah) and you apply it for three minutes and it promises to fix those dry strands. When I use this product I leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and use it as an everyday conditioner instead of as a treatment. If I comb it through my hair I truly think it works; if I just apply it and don't comb it through I feel like it works like a regular conditioner (which does not do anything for my hair). I also apply it all over my head & not just on my ends. I've been using this product for I'm going to say about a year & a half now and it's my go to cheap deep conditioner when I can't splurge on my regular heavy cream. It is most definitely a great product and does it's job (if combed through). It's about $4.50 and if you're looking for a cheap but good product, try this. For the money you've got nothing to lose quite frankly. You can purchase it in drugstores & foodstores as well.
One tip though, if you have dry hair, COMB IT THROUGH! Otherwise I personally feel like it doesn't work. If you have "normal" hair then you'll most likely be fine just slathering it on. Also I know some people would say using something like this every shower will weigh down your hair.. well.. it probably does BUT it's nice to be able to brush through my mane, haha.

Overall: Great product for a great price tag

20 Questions

1. Things you cannot leave the house without:
My phone for sure... I like to be in contact with certain people at all time... otherwise I ignore the shit out of it. Urr, then it would be my purse which contains a bunch of junk I depend on hahha. Maybe I'll do a "what's in my purse" soon but it's pretty general: chapstick, perfume, my planner, etc.

2. Favourite brand of Make Up:
Hmm, MAC.. that's a given, haha. So yeah, MAC wins but I am enjoying NYX, & I never purchase MAC mascaras b/c I don't like them so L'oreal/Covergirl/Rimmel are my go tos for that. I also like E.L.F. make-up.


3. Favourite flower:
I really love all flowers but I'll give you my top picks. Sunflowers & Daisies are my favies & then roses.

4. Favourite clothing store:
Forever 21, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie.


5. Favourite perfume:
Vanilla Lace has been my staple scent forever & I adore it. I've got a few more perfumes but I love vanilla.


6. Heels or Flats:

Flats. I'm really short but I'm not a big heels person, I'll wear them if I'm going out out but past that it never happens.

7. Do you make good grades:
Yes I do. My grades aren't always perfect but I do well.

8. Favourite colours:
Green, baby pink, black, navy, grey.


9. Do you drink energy drinks:
No, not my thing.

10. Do you drink juice:
I'm such a juice drinker. I love all juices.

11. Do you like swimming:
In a pool yes, in the ocean no. I went to Bermuda when I was five and I could see the fish near my feet and it freaked me out terribly. Waters near my house are NOT clear so you won't catch me in them. I will go in when I'm on vacation but not deep.


12. Do you eat fries with a fork:
No. Unless they're pizza fries (marina sauce & mozzarella) cause they're crazy messy but normal fries are a no.

13. Favourite moisturiser:
Cetaphil and then just yummy smelling ones from Bath & Body Works/ The Body Shop


14. Do you want to get married later on in life:
Yes I do :o)

15. Do you get mad easily:
I get annoyed easily, it takes quite a bit to actually anger me. But once I'm pissed I'd steer clear.

16. Are you into ghost hunting:
Uhm.. not really. I enjoy a good scare but I'm such a scaredy cat it's ridic. Like, I like the idea of being scared but I do not actually like being scared. Does that make sense? hahha

17. Any phobias -
Losing my loved ones scares me like no tomorrow.. I pray a lot for their protection, it's quite crazy. Uhm, my wrists, things in the dark.


18. Do you bite your nails:
No, I rip them off though.
