So I was watching America's Nex Top Model... yes, pathetic and cheesy, I know. I was watching a photo shoot, and I couldn't help but notice that the ones that girl that did really well, was jumping and moving around. This time when I went out to take pictures, my inner ballerina finally came out. 

I think these shots came out mighty nice ! Trust me, I'm not as graceful as the pictures seem... not at all. 

I've attached some photos below of make up things, a black cat eye and a pink lip. I don't know they brands, other than the lipstick is an old tube from my grandma, and the eye liner is from one of those gift sets from ages ago, I'm a make up hoarder. 

Who's ever observant enough to notice, yes I have dry skin. I actually have terrible skin, and am in the process of recovering. Any tips on handling dry/sensitive skin would be wonderful.

Nail Polish Reviews... at long last.

My apologizes for my atrocious nails... my orange polish is on it's last leg.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Bling-tastic ... $6.99

claire's cosmetics Mood nail polish in fabulous/funky ... ¿ $9.99 ? (gift)

The Sally Hansen polish, pictured above, I bought because the sparkles look amazing in the bottle. I bought a sparkly Sally Hansen polish for a friend, and I couldn't resist buying one when I saw them in Walmart. I wish I could have all of them, but, being a broke bum, I could only purchase one. It was between a pale pink or this blue. I don't think I need to say which one won. 

won one won one won one.  

When I put on the first coat, and the second coat, and even the third coat, the sparkle effect was extremely gradual. I guess I was naively wishing that the sparkle would just magically cover the entire surface of my nail. I stopped at three coats, but to get complete coverage, at least, a fourth coat would be needed. 

I really like the color, and as I say, I love sparkles. I didn't like having to put on three coats, cause I'm anal and it interfered with my two coats of color ritual. But it looked really nice, so I guess I can suck it up. It chipped towards the end of the week (I paint my nails every Sunday), and they got massacred at work on Saturday. All polishes get scrubbed away when you're a dishwasher :) so I can't complain there. 

What I didn't like, was trying to get it off. It took ages. I went through a bajillion nail polish pads. The sparkle was so beautiful, but getting it to come off was almost frustrating. 

In review, pretty sparkly colour, but takes forever to pry off. 

Worth it ? I'd say so yes !

The claire's polish I didn't get the chance to snap shots of. It chipped at work, and when I had it on my toes... I felt weird taking picture of my feet. Feet are icky. The work feet itself is enough for me. 

So picture aside, it's a mood polish. So apparently it's supposed to change shades based on your mood. So basically, it has nothing to do with your mood, and everything to do with body temperature. I would never really trust this idea in nail polish, but, seeing as I got this as a gift, and the colour is pretty either shade, I didn't really care what would or wouldn't happen. 

Nothing happened at all. I expected as much. I know there are other mood polishes, so maybe this brand's quality is lacking, who knows. The pink was pretty, but that's that. No changing of the shade or anything. I even put my hand in the fridge, thinking the icy temperature would make the pink lighter. It just made my hand cold.

Any opinions on sparkly polishes or mood polishes would be greatly appreciated !

Nail polish. It's fun, it's bright, it's dark, it can be whatever you want it to be. I like mine when it's sparkly, and I want to master the galaxy nails craze... some day.

I feel like I have such a boring life. Eat. Sleep. Homework. Repeat. 

Wore this to my Daddy's, he hates it when I wear the heels and  the dresses. You know, the typical attire. 

Twas a boring day at the fathers, exploring the grounds and getting some vitamin D. We have a new litter of puppies, and they are beyond adorable. So so soft. I want to steal them home with me. 

I'm finishing up getting pictures on my computer, and hope to have a nail polish review up soon. After that I have two hauls to work on. I have no life, yet somehow, no time to do anything. Maybe if my laptop wasn't such shat I wouldn't be trying to rip my hair out every time I want to upload photographs. I need my college present so bad.

That's All for Now Folks

sweater ... Asos

dress... Full Tilt

boots... Frye, my daddy's

Being a senior is that time that everyone says is the easiest out of high school. They're lying I tell you. I have two major assignments due on Monday, good thing I'm wasting time perusing the internet. 

Prom's coming up, and... I already have a prom dress, but I just found one at a consignment shop for $36,  I'll have do a prom post to show you the finished look. I have no idea for shoes or hair or make up, only that the dress has to be a cream colour. I want a pretty light wispy look. It's all in my head, now I just have to find my vision in real life...

As for the outfit... it's nothing much, just a little pattern mixing. I had tights on, but it's been hot as all where I am, although it's quite chilly now though. The season's can't make up there minds.

Meet my baby: Link

This is my little bundle of joy right here. Linky was adopted from our animal shelter, and he's now a ferocious beast cat, as you can see. We adopted him as a kitten, and the shelter told us they found him out roaming the fields. Now, even though we got him as a kitten, he apparently learned skills out in the wild that are the equivalent to being a wild tiger. My boyfriend is convinced he is an African Wild Cat

• He steals vast amounts of meat off our plates if we aren't looking, and cabbage, among other foods you didn't think any cat would eat.
• If you try to get this food back, he begins to growl, much like a dog.
• Ever seen the stalking cat video ? Well Link is also a stalking cat who frequently jumps us when we least expect it. 
• He plays fetch.
• He plays run around Linky. 
• He might be on crack.
• We both love him very much. 

Love your pets !

 

Burrito Cat

What do I love ?

The is Luke. Lukerson. Lukealdo. Lukey. The boy. My boy. 

He makes me salad. He buys me dinner. He watches me eat like a savage.

He gives his opinion on my clothes. He tells me I'm more beautiful without make up. 

He makes funny face with me, he makes funny faces at me. 

He's wonderful inside and out. 

We fight, we bicker, we can't stand each other. 

We love, we hug, we can't get enough of each other. 

No matter if you have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or nothing at all, I think it's important to recognize the people we have to love. Whether it be Mom, Dad, your best friend, your pet, anything. It's hard not to take for granted that person your always so used to being there.

So make sure to let them know you care ! See a movie with your best friend, go out to dinner for one-on-one time with your mom or dad. Go dancing with your girlfriends ! 

Make time for others, they tend to notice the little acts of kindness.

:)

Shoes, Zara, Zara

Few and far posts, but I'm trying to figure a lot of things out. A new camera, a new room (soon) and always fumbling with blog settings. On to the clothes...

I wish I could have photographed the sweater, the crochet pattern is lovely. Tee-shirt sweaters are kind of pointless, but they're quite sweet looking. 

I was looking for something crushed velvet for the longest time, and getting velvet leggings and shorts are still on my list. This dress was a birthday purchase in my trip to New York's Topshop, my heaven on earth. The tights are from there as well, I wish you could see the sparkle !

The shoes are my pride and glory. My boyfriend bought them for my birthday, such a sweet guy. I want leopard heels, and until I find them, these shoes will more than suffice; I love them.

I have more outfit posts up my sleeve, some nail polish reviews, and I'm thinking of putting together a shopping list kind of post ? Maybe I can get some feedback of places to get certain items I've been looking for. #leopard heels #floral heels # crushed velvet leggings #little black dress

I'm going to go play some Playstation2 before bed, goodnight dears ! #oldschool
