Good morning!

I'm done filling out applications, and I'm about to watch some tv for a bit. After that, you can look forward to possibly 2(!) reviews in one day. 

I'm going to show you one of my favorite products - Origins Modern Friction- in action with before and after shots.  After that, I plan on trying out The Face Shop Spa Mask in Pearl. 

So expect a couple of posts later on. And if you haven't seen it yet, please watch my tutorial on how to make super-cute earrings!

I put a video on youtube. :S

And now I think to myself, "how come I never noticed that I have really jacked up teeth before?"

hahahaha. 

enjoy.

Break time...

Ugggghhhh. I hate filling out job applications. They want to know every Bubba you've ever known! (ok so maybe not everyone you've ever known, but they sure as hell ask a LOT of seemingly-unrelated questions).

I have to finish tweaking my CV for tomorrow and send that off in the mail and I'm still waiting to hear back from the people I interviewed twice with! 

All this waiting business ain't none too fun. 

In the meantime, I've decided to start making jewelry again.  I've always had a passion for jewelry.  I've been making jewelry since I was 12 years old! I really don't know how I learned to do it; I just kind of picked it up and went from there. I really enjoy it. It relaxes me. I think I might make a tutorial on it.  

I'm kind of scared to make makeup videos for youtube because I've seen how cruel with comments people can get and that scares me. But, surely there's nothing wrong with jewelry, right? (i.e. it can't draw as many cruel commentaries?) I mean, I fully expect when people find out where I'm from there will be a flood of "backwards, backwater, dumbass, racist, redneck" type comments, but that's a stereotype, and that's dumb. Most Southerners are not like that at all. But I know people are still going to say it. . . C'est domage, mais c'est la vie. 

I'll edit this post later with whatever I decide to make. ^.^

Alert - 1.98$ Shipping from E.L.F.

Only good for the days! (read 7/16/2009).

I would suggest either their studio brushes (the black ones), fake eyelashes, or the mineral make up line.

happy shopping

Update on LC Brushes

So, remember how excited I was to find Lowe Cornell brushes at teh Wal-Marts? Well, I'm just glad they were only 5$! 

They are complete crap! The bristles weren't soft and didn't bend well. Also, they shed bristles really, really bad. I'm glad I only tested them on my nails and not on my face! 

My nails turned out decently thanks to a nice tutorial by Kawaii Nails. I will edit this post with pictures and a link to her blog tomorrow morning after I go to check in on my thesis at the library. 

EDIT: Kawaii Nails

check her site for her really good tutorial on nail gradation.

Here's my lame attempt. I don't have steady hands at all!

sleep tight!

Found it!

Here's a tip that some may not know:

E.L.F. products are available at most cheap-ey like stores.

Here's a list of where and what E.L.F. products  I've found in person:

K-Mart - eye shadows, lip gloss, lip stick, brow tamer

Holliday's - eyeshadows, lip gloss, lip stick, mascara

Fred's - Brushes, eyeshadows, lip gloss, lip stick, mascara

The trend seems to be to carry the essentials of makeup. However, if you luck up, you might find that the store carries E.L.F. brushes (unfortunately, they aren't the black studio label), and they are still just a dollar!

I've ordered from E.L.F. before and it is true that the have bad shipping and it takes for-ev-er.

So, if you're wanting to try their stuff out first, or you like having cheap brushes, give your local dollar store a try. You'd be surprised at what you can find!
