EOTD Using All Aromaleigh shadows

I apologize for the pictures here, they aren't very vibrant, even though I upped the brightness and contrast in Photoshop to try and make them more color accurate. It's because my mom's out of town with her nice camera, so I'm using mine, which is a complete POS. The blue looks very inaccurate, so here's the closest to what it actually looks like: This color is from the Rocks! collection, and is called bluespark. It's not the actual color, planetearth, but this photo looks the most similar to my eyes. Now for the look. What I used: Cottage Cheese jumbo eye pencil by NYX as base iseered, by Aromaleigh [Rocks! collection] (inner lid) lupine, by Aromaleigh [spring solstice collection](middle of lid) planetearth, by Aromaleigh [Rocks! collection] (rest of lid, under waterline) L'Oreal extra volume collagen mascara Rimmel eyeline in black No full face cus the POS camera made me look REALLY odd. I'm sad these pictures aren't totally color accurate, as Ive been looking forward to this look all week. As soon as I got iseered and planetearth, I wanted to use them together. Also, if you haven't picked up any of the Hot In the City collection, I reccomend you do so, the colors are beautiful. Coney Island is now my favorite green of all time. I got a free sample of the vanilla bean lip balm with my last order, and I want to get a full size. :3 I HATE vanilla scents, and I love the smell of this so much... that's how good it is. I also have been meaning to say, the L'Oreal collagen mascara is what I have used every time I have posted that I used Voluminous by L'Oreal... I've never even bough Voluminous, I don't know why I kept making that mistake of which one it was! I am also very impressed with the Rimmel liner. I got it for around $1.50 since Rimmel is(was?) half off at Walgreens. I totally cried yesterday when I saw my boyfriend for the first time in two weeks (:D), and it stayed on really well! I work almost every day this upcoming week, so again, I will probably not be able to post much. I may have to do it so I only update on weekends. But I will always have enough time to keep updated on everyone else's beautiful blogs! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, especially if you live in the US and get to chill on Monday. ;]

Enlighten me please!

Can anyone who has been to cosmetology school tell me what it is like, costwise, and the types of things you learn to do? Also, I want to try more nail polish brands. I know a lot, obviously more than your average chick, but if you have any weird ones I probably haven't heard of, please let me know :) URBAN DECAY ALICE IN WONDERLAND BOOK OF SHADOWS is out this Friday! I'm already drooling... Sorry this isn't a real post, I work every night this week, so I don't have time to review or do any looks really. I will this weekend, pinky promise. Until I have enough time to post, I will just continue reading your lovely blogs. I hope you week is going well, only 2 days until the weekend!

Hauls of the Week!

Before I get to the good stuff, I just wanted to share a story from today... apparently there was a small fire at my school last week, and apparently, because there was a videotape of a silver SUV before the fire (which I drive), that means I did it. They couldn't tell the license plate. They couldn't tell who was in the car. I got pulled into the deans office for 50 minutes and got questioned and harassed and accused. They wouldn't even tell me why I was there for the first 30 minutes. They talked to my brother and some of my friends, and scared them too, and tried to psych us all out into admitting something we didn't do. It really pissed me off, to say the least. I hate high school so much T_T Here are my hauls! If you have any questions about what anything is, just ask. :) CVS 50-75% discount! Some other fun CVS stuff Walgreens! Rimmel is half off, and these Sally Hansen polishes were too pretty to pass up, even though I don't usually like drugstore polish. I finally got a bar glitter! Everything I got today all together. Total cost? Only around $30! I'm excited to try the mousse blush. I'm glad I got these good prices while they're happening, this is probably all the drugstore stuff I'll buy for the next few months. I really like all the indie companies I've been ordering from; I rarely make drugstore stops anymore! My haul from Cherry Culture- I already want more NYX. The stuff I got from the Beauty Ticket sale- Stila lipstick, 2 Jelly Pong Pong lip sorbets, and 2 Too Faced Sparkle glosses (these are AMAZING! Go buy some!) I've also gotten orders from Morgana Minerals and Beautiful Girl Minerals I need to review, and some GORGEOUS Aromaleigh colors to swatch. Hope you enjoyed, and your week started off better than mine :P

Happy 101 Tag

I got the Happy 101 tag from Lisa Kate, who I totally adore :3 It's 10 things that make me happy, and I have to tag 10 blogs! Or however many I FEEL LIKE, what are you gonna do about it? Okay okay... I did 11, I'm not a huge rebel. 1. SPRAY BUTTER. Not your grandma's dumb spreadable butter. 2. THE X-FILES. I'm on season 7, devastated at the thought of my life once I'm done with the series and the latest movie... I dream about Mulder and Scully at least twice a week. Sadly, that's not a joke. The picture below is the X-Files poster I got for Christmas! 3. MOVIES. Not your typical lame girly movies... those are for chumps. Horror movies are my favorite, ones that push you to the limits and make you scream. But I also love disturbing movies, classic comedies, and Fred & Ginger movies. I am as into movies as I am into makeup... that should tell you something. Last night, I watched The Midnight Meat Train :D 4. SNEAKERS. I have probably around 12 pairs of bright ass sneakers, and maybe 10 pairs of flats. I'm going to show you guys a picture of my shoe collection sometime. These are the ones I got for Christmas. 5. SAM. 6. HELLO KITTY. I know a lot of people probably hate Hello Kitty. I would say she hates you too, but her heart is made of pure good and she could never hate anyone. 7. LADY GAGA. LOVE LOVE LOVE 8. CUTE ANIMAL PICTURES! I have the Cute Overload page a day 2010 calender :D 9. When Blogger doesn't keep changing the font I'm using, dammit! 10. FALLING ASLEEP WITH MY DUMB CAT :) Yes, this is my cat, and no, I did not pose it. Sometimes she likes to hold things while she sleeps. I tag... 1. Julissa 2. Ciao 3. Judy 4. Bowsnhearts 5. Sara 6. Lynny 7. Blix 8. HeavenNJR 9. AxSDenied 10. Kim 11. Painted Moogle Sorry if you've already been tagged!
