HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I did this look to enter it in a contest but now i don't feel like it. The lashes were not as close to my lash line as I would have liked. But here is a pic of it.

Happy Halloween to all.

OK! another Tidbit to share...Confessions of a Shopaholic

I'm watching the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic and I must say I Like it. But I had to pause it and blog on a line that the father tells his daughter (the shopahaolic after offering to sell his RV to help her pay off her debt,  which she refuses, because she says it defines him) He says to her " Nothing defines me except you and your mother" It made me shed a tear. Funny how we can get caught up in life and all it has to offer and forget about the things that will stick with us long after we are gone. Kinda like our never ending legacy.

Do you know what defines YOU? And what your legacy is?

Just thought I'd share.

Sigma Brushes!

I am so aching to try Sigma Brushes. Almost every body on youtube has them. I have been trying to win them  through giveaways and contest and all. Last night I knew the answers to the questions on nikkii's and sarah victor's wall of style radio show, keeping it fierce but I couldn't seem to get on. I think if it was not for bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. bummer. I think they look so nice based on all the reviews I have been seeing. Don't get me wrong. I love the Isomers brush set that I have now ( posted in my blog) but they are over 2 yrs old and starting to let me down a bit. Sigma I would love to have next because the look so high quality. I would love the complete brush roll. (Dreaming Right?) But I cannot spend $90 on a brush (even though I know it will be totally worth it) with a ten month old.

I have thought about emailing them but I know with my luck I'll get the big fat NO. But Ya know what I think I'll do it. I guess thats the worst they can do is turn me down.

Wish me luck.

Palette Mishap taken care of.

So I contacted my ebay seller about the broken shadows in my palette and they were great about it. They asked that I send pictures ( which I did) and they offered me a solution that I took. They offered me a refund of $7. I thought that was great so I took it. Keep in mind that I paid $ 12.98 for the palette. Great right?

I've used the palette about 3 times since I received it and I must say that I am impressed. The colors are excellent. I'll put a pic of the look somewhere in here.

Thanks to my ebay seller sinedya for all the help.

More on 120 Palette.

So I contacted the Ebay seller and they have not returned my email as yet. After calming myself I decided to try and salvage the two colors. I tried to get as much green back into the shadow pot as possible and I used the top of my Mac Under eye cream tube and pressed that sucker back into place. I pressed it mad hard so I am not sure whats gonna happen with that and how well the color is gonna come out when I use it. So we will see. I did the same for the other color and cleaned the Palette off.

Now if you know me I am very picky and OCD about stuff like that. It is bothering me that it came broken but I am trying to make my self  be ok with it.I have 2 88 palettes and the greens there are good so that is lessening the blow. LOL. I know that I am not sending it back to wait another month or two to receive another 1. If they give me a good discount on future palettes then I'll take it. I wish they had the blush palettes. That I would get immediately. If the seller was in the US I doubt that that would have happened.But the price would have bin nuts. I got my palette pretty cheap. $12.98 including shipping. It was wrapped in as little bubble wrap as possible so I guess it was inevitable. If anyone has gotten palettes and received them in great condition from Ebay hit me up and let me know your seller.Well any hoo's, I will be doing a tutorial this week but I am not sure what look I will be going for. I tried to get my eyebrows waxed yesterday but I was so tired and the wait was crazy so by this weekend definitely.

TTYL & look out for my look video later this week.

120 Palette Came!


So I was so excited when I saw the mailman with a package headed for my door. Yep my palette came. As I begun to open it I thought I hope everything would have been intact. Well as soon as I opened it green powder started coming out. A green is shattered completely and a blue mid way. Another has a solid crack down the middle and a yellow has a chip. Thats only the first palette. The green shadow which is highly pigmented by the way has made its way under the first row and unto some of the shadows below as well as several on the top. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Packaging was very poor. could have done way better. Will post more after I figure this out.

HAHAHA!!!!!

Ok so today I was looking at a show on the Toshi and the door bell rang. I instantly knew that it was the mailman. So when I heard the bell I thought YAYYYYYY my 120 palette is here( because it cant fit in the mailbox he has to ring the bell) So I threw the Toshi down and rang out my room only to find that it was in fact the mailman but with a mailing from Enfamil. I was soooooo bummed. I mean I was happy to get the mailing( who doesn't like free stuff) but shooottt. Can I get my 120 palette already? LOL. I guess better luck next week. I HOPE!

BLOG ACTION DAY 2009! Climate Change!

I think that this is such a genius idea. Have you noticed over the last few years the weather has not bin its usual self? For instance, I am in NY and right now they are predicting that this will be a very brutal winter and I believe them. I am freezing right now. The say that we are experiencing dips that we should normally feel in November. Which makes summer and fall even shorter. Summer this year was like a breeze. A few piping hot days but other than that nice and cool. I can't believe that summer has come and gone.

If our seasons are beginning to change like this, a bit here and there, the question of what is to come cannot stay unasked and unanswered. I do not know about everybody else but this is very scary. Will my kids grow up in a world where they have no choice of what climate they want to live in? Will the world become one big ocean as they claim? I don't know about you but I do not want to see my generation or the generation after mine and so forth and so so be washed away.

We have to start now and do the little things and the big things to help delay the process that we as inhabitants of this planet have started. Otherwise who knows what this world will look like or feel like in 100 yrs. I know certain practices help to make our lives a lot easier (using the aerosol sprays and other harmful practices that help damage the ozone layer) but what about tomorrow? I choose Life and a healthy planet over easy any day.

What do you choose?

NEW LAPTOP!

I just got a new laptop. 2 actually. As a gift (Thanks Dad) The first 1 arrived and it refused to boot. It had power but was not booting up. BUMMER! I am actually thinking of trying to have it fixed. I don't know, we'll see. It had a feature I wanted. Finger Print Reader! How 007'ish. lol. But I got a new 1 and all this happened between thursday and yesterday which was tuesday. Now I decided to include this little snippet in my blog (pretty random) because I never wanted to own a Toshiba Laptop but now I do. Didn't think I would have liked it. But so far so good. Pretty fast considering that I am going to add another memory card to speed this baby up. I hate slow computers they annoy me.

So I will be blogging from it and keeping up with questions and videos.So we'll see how it keeps up. I love Multi Tasking so it will definitely have its work cut out for it. Pretty Random but I felt like venting.

Have a great day.

TTYL.
