Purple FOTD
I hope I don’t have another post titled Purple FOTD..I’m not so creative when it comes to blog titles haha.
I used the same purple elf eyeshadow quad in “silver lining” that I used on Christmas except this time I applied a neutral colored shadow all over the lid before applying the other colors so it would be toned down for daytime.

On another note, Lent is upon us and for those who are not familiar with lent it is a period of 40 days and 40 nights [yeah, like that movie with Josh Hartnett!] where you give something up that you normally do or have everyday [for example, coffee for some people]. I’m not what you would call religious, I just participate in Lent because I’m weird and I think it’s fun to test my willpower haha. For Lent this year I gave up Youtube and reading beauty blogs because I noticed that I go on Youtube and read beauty blogs practically every day when I should be doing homework or something more productive. So it sucks because I can’t keep up on all your guys’ blogs and stuff. but I know the posts are still gonna be there when I get back and I allowed myself to blog which is a good thing because I need to try to update this thing regularly instead of randomly. So, did you give up anything for Lent?

Coastal Scents Brushes

I know everyone and their mom already has coastal scents brushes, but this was my first time so it’s a big deal to me! And I’m SO HAPPY with my purchase. I got [from left to right] the pink lip brush, duo fibre, deluxe buffer and tapered crease brush and I like all of them! Let me review them individually…
Tapered crease brush $2.49: got it because the crease brush I’m currently using is an artist [paint] brush, but it wasn’t full enough for my liking so I got this and I actually thought it would be like a blending brush, like fluffier, but it isn’t. That’s ok though because I would have more control with this brush and it says its for the crease, while a fluffier brush in a similar shape might not be ideal for crease work.
duo fibre/skunk brush $7.95: I got this to use for blush cuz sometimes I feel like the brush I have applies my blush, but at the same time it’s brushing off my foundation! So I wanted a brush that has a lighter touch to it.
pink oval taklon lip brush $1.60: I’m not gonna use this as a lip brush…I’ve never actually seen a lip brush that looks like this anyway…it looks like a really small shader brush to me! I’m going to use this as a concealer brush and it’s just the right size to cover blemish marks.

deluxe buffer $4.25: It’s sooo soft and really dense too! They don’t skimp on the bristles so it’s firm against your face. I like the coverage that it gives me and also the finish. Makes my face look soft and smooth, I love it! One thing that might detract from it is it had a odor to it when I first got it and when it was wet while I was washing, the smell was stronger. You know, like a wet dog! But I washed it with shampoo and brush cleanser and I don’t notice the smell anymore.

And did you check out the prices?? INSANE. They even put my order in a cute mesh drawstring bag and included a free sample of hilight blue eyeshadow!! And shipping took only a few days! Coastalscents.com, I applaud you.
Note: I’m sure there’s people out there who have had bad experiences with coastalscents or ordered products that weren’t so awesome, but my first experience was sooo great…I’m in love. Like L-O-V-E, love.
I Miss Thermasilk
I got a little hair obsession thing goin on right now, can you tell?
image source: amazon.com
Remember Thermasilk? It was like the first drugstore brand that said it was for people who intended to use it along with heat styling products. I used to use the shampoo and conditioner andI remembered it smelled really good. I didnt heat style my hair back then because I wasn’t as girly froo froo as I am now, but it was nice to know that if I did decide to curl my hair or whatever, my hair would be protected. And I got a sample of their deep conditioner once and then I did blow dry afterwards just to see if it really makes a difference and I remember my hair being soooo soft afterwards! I still have my Thermasilk leave-in conditioner spray. It works fairly well but there were times when it coudln’t help me out with my tangles. And now the line is discontinued! Why??
In other nuts4HAIR news…I want to get my haircut, but the style I was thinking also involves a lot of styling. Like it’s not really wash and go. That sucks cuz I’m soo not the type to get up extra early just to do my hair. Also, if I cut my hair, I was thinking I might need a new flat iron [you know for all the styling that I would have to do]. The one I have right now is ok, but OK flat irons are probably not so good for the hair. It would be a good investment for me to actually get a GOOD flat iron that because I noticed that not all irons are created equally and using a good one makes a big difference.
New E.L.F. Studio Line
I came across this just now and it’s pretty interesting. E.l.f. is known for selling just about almost everything on their site for a dollar each and according to reviews, some of the stuff they offer is pretty awesome at an amazing price! So now they have this more professional looking series, in which the items cost more than a dollar, but still very inexpensive and have a sleek look to them. For example, this one reminds me of a Nars pallette…
www.eyeslipsface.com
And this looks like something I could use
www.eyeslipsface.com
Of course I can’t say whether these are quality products or not, but it looks like e.l.f. is stepping their game up and possibly trying to bite off of other brand’s packaging…haha. There was many times when I wanted to order from e.l.f. but the 7 dollar shipping and handling kinda defeated the purpose of saving money doncha think?
Piss…Toner?
This was so totally weird and gross, I had to post it!
These people SWEAR by it though. Haha, maybe the cure to acne was hiding inside our bladders all this time…
If you do a Google search of urine therapy they have tons of websites about it too. Wow is all I can say.

This was my first professional type shoot [besides wedding pictures...haha] and it was a lot of fun! Let’s do it again weeee!
SUPER TUESDAY
I rocked the vote! Did you? And I got some goodies for free with my “I voted” sticker. It’s ironic that when you vote you can get krispy kreme and starbucks…like all we do is eat fried sweets and drink caffeinated drinks. Oh wait, we do! And I love it!
Pink Smoky FOTD
My professor pushed back our paper deadline so now I can blog! Yayyy!
My inspiration:
My attempt:
Anna gave me some makeup that she didn’t use anymore [thanks again!] and a lot of the shadows were pink or purpley-pink. I don’t usually use pink shadows so I didn’t really know what to do until I found this video on youtube! Of course I don’t have the same shadows that Misschievous uses, so I improvised and did a budget friendly version of it.
Products used:
Eyes
Covergirl 4 shadow pallete with pinks for highlight and crease
Adorned with Grace Happiness [cool pink] on crease
Rimmel medium green color
Ulta Galaxy [Black with micro glitter]
I used both the darkest pink from CG and Happiness in the area above the crease. Since I don’t have a gunmetal kinda that Misschievous uses, I layered Galaxy and the Rimmel green color because the green provides the iridescence while the Galaxy makes it smokey and dark. On my lips I used Milani Secret [a sheer milky color] lip gloss and NYX lip pencil in Iced Coffee.
In other non makeup related news…I got a fish!
He’s a Ryukin goldfish, that’s how we got the name Ryu, remember Streetfighter? I know Christiana does! haha. I originally wanted a Pearlscale goldfish, but I saw this guy at the pet store and I fell in love! He’s beauutiful!
