Make-Up Reviews

 Lately I've been laying low on buying a lot of makeup for various reasons. But i had a coupon for close to 50% off Revlon and this purchase caused me to get another coupon =) But I only got a few things so I figured I would do a review on the items I purchased.


Revlon Double Twist Mascara- black
I bought this particular mascara because it was on sale and I had coupons. With that said; this was the worst thing I could have bought!!! The brush was cute, but once the brush hit the little tube of mascara it was cute no more! The brush looks all gloppy when I pulled it out... I'm assuming because the mascara is too thick?! I've only used 2 other mascaras before; one (Maybelline Falsies) that I LOVE and one (Rimmel London) that is decent enough for me to continue to use, I think I will stick to the brand that works well for me! **Don't buy this mascara unless you like the "cake frosting mascara" look...


 
Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow- Wild Orchids
I have another set of Revlon Creme Shadows... don't use it often since the colors are bold. The Wild Orchids set it more of a neutral tone. The colors are soft and seem like any one of the colors can go with just about anything you wear-- which I like! I wore two of the colors today [the ones on each end...]



Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze- Eternal Blossom
I originally wanted to Coral Color Lipglaze but it looked tampered with.... didn't want to risk using it if [God forbid] someone else used it as a tester.... This gloss is a little thick so I didn't need to apply much. the color doesn't stand out too much, which is okay. It blends in well with my complexion


 

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Pearls- Ivy Icon

This may seem a little bias, but I LOVE Maybelline Color Pearls. The colors are just basic with the bit of glam/glimmer added... if that makes sense. This color showed up well on my complexion. Haven't tried it on my eyes yet... soon I will.

 
Maybelline Eye Studio Color Pearls- Tantalizing Teal
Same as the previous description-- this color is kinda light, but still shows up well on my complexion. I have not tried this color on my eyes yet.. in the coming days i will =)


** Also, yesterday after work I bought a pack of 60 eye shadow brushes for $5 (from CVS) !! I figured this would be cheaper than trying to buy bigger brushes every other month.

a small piece of [My Life]

I know I blog about fashion/make-up looks I like, celebs I love, movies and TV shows. Only occasionally do I blog about person thing I go through. and I can't recall a time where I've given you all a actual 'glimpse' into my life. So I've decided, from time to time I'll post meaningful/random pictures of things in my life that hold some kind of meaning to them. And to kick things off, this first picture involves 2 things I love a lot-- music & movies.... This is my [growing] movie/music collection. I don't usually buy CDs anymore-- get those straight off iTunes

my "TV on DVD" collection (not pictured is season 1 of CSI miami
and One Tree Hill season 1,.... which is currently MISSING!! =(


the top 2 shelves are CDs,
I have old & new stuff [*nsync to TI]the bottom 3, DVD [old school Chipmunks and Child's play to the Saw series]

[... Changes ...]

I'm slowing making small changes to the blog.... nothing drastic... If you girls have suggestions for posts you'd like to see let me know!



Here's a Trey video to hold you  til my next post.... LOVE this song

[... Nails of the Week ...]

Haven't updated my NOTW in a while. This is the color(s) I recently polished my nails. Kinda simple. I had no polish for a while because I had a job interview. What do you girls think of the color combo?

Just friends? ... is it really possible?

Maybe its just me, maybe I'm just totally trippin out on this... but I no longer think males and females can be "just friends".... OR maybe in the case that the male and female have previously dated.... I think I mentioned in a post weeks back that I saw one of my exes from years ago. My initial reaction was "Okay, cool. We'll be like friends or whatever" .... that has not been the case one bit. From the jump, he made it kinda clear he wanted the "friends with benefits" package... I usually dont do friends w/ benefits, but considered it... We talked about it.. But then he got worried about things getting wierd between us..... (-_-) and I feel since this convo things HAVE been wierd. My best friend thinks that he changed his mind due to being scared of catching feelings; yet he expressed that he thought I would be the one trying to get all attached.

At this point I just want to scratch the whole "friends with benefits" thing and try to be just friends but i really dont foresee it happening (us being just friends as if the previous convo never happened).... So, I ask, have any of you girls had a situation like this? Any suggestions?!
