Bits & Pieces

I absolutely hate the cold weather. It's only October and it's already hitting the high 40's and low 50's range. That's just ridiculous! Luckily, tomorrow and Thursday are in the high 60's low 70's. I think this is probably the last 2 days that will be nice for the rest of this year :( I'm gonna miss the autumn weather.. I'm gonna miss those days when it's still light out at 8PM. Nowadays it gets dark at like.. 6PM! : That's just not my cup of tea.

This was what it looked like outside when
I was driving home from work at 6:30PM!
At least the sky was pretty, lol.

So I haven't had the time to really go shopping lately due to my loads of work, but I have managed to pick up a couple of little things here and there :}

LashBlast by CoverGirl in Very Black
& Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner
by L'Oreal in Carbon Black

I have used LashBlast before and I really liked it. The brush is a a bit big which causes minor accidents here and there, but overall.. I really like it as a mascara. It's great for extra volume in your lashes :) This is my first time trying the Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner by L'Oreal. I have used the Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner before though, and I really liked it. So I figured I'd give the brush a chance.

I also got this Styli-Style retractable eyeliner pencil in Black.
& F21 Oil Control Film

So far so good w/ the Styli-Style eyeliner. It glides on pretty smoothly and it stays on pretty well. It does smudge a bit if you apply it on your water-line, but I think any pencil liner will smudge within time if you apply it on your water-line. Anddd, F21's Oil Control Film is just simply oil blotting sheets from Forever21, obviously lol. Forever21 seems to be expanding their products to different ranges, hahaha. I just thought the blotting sheets were cute so I picked up a couple while I was at the store a while ago. It comes in a pack of 50 sheets, it's not expensive at all, and it comes in handy from time to time :] I also got a plaid shirt a while back that I never got to share:

It's very comfy ;D

My most recent visit to Forever21 was a failure. It's so hard to find stuff at the store sometimes because it's such a mess and I never know where anything is. After walking around the store a couple of times, I picked up 2 belts:

Rustic Braided Belt in Brown

Fab Elastic Braided Belt in Black

I love them both very much ;] I'm actually waiting for an order to come in the mail ;x I ended up helping my gf (who is currently studying abroad in Ghana) buy the vest she desperately wanted:


I ordered a couple of things and T* also ordered a couple of things. So! Hopefully I receive that package soon! :D That's about all my purchases lately. Like I said, I haven't really had the time to go shopping :\ BUT! Since it's freezing cold.. that means that the holiday season is right around the corner! That's just about the only thing I like about the cold season, hehe. Speaking of holidays, Halloween is only a week and a half away! My gfs and I are being Shipmate Cuties!

I got the image from "Halloween Unlimited", BUT!
I ordered the costume from Musotica, click: HERE
Promotional Codes: halloween2009 and/or freeship
I don't know if the codes can be combined, but try it out!

Ok, the costume only looks ultra-short on the model because she's probably like 5'7" or taller. I'm 5'3" so.. it really doesn't look that revealing at all, lol. It's actually really cute =) I really like it! I ordered it online and I got a 10% discount so, this costume only came out to be 35$! I was very pleased ;] lol. Unfortunately, I think this Halloween will be really really cold.. but either way, I hope we put these costumes to use =] I'll update you on how that goes!

I'll end this blog with the donut I got at work, lol ;p it was a nice treat. I actually don't even know who bought the box for my office, but.. free donut for me!

It was yummy :9

I hope everyone enjoys their Halloween! Have fun and be safe! Bundle up because it's cold- well.. it's cold here, lol ;p

Epic Failure

So, I royally failed at keeping up with posting ever since my fall classes started (SORRY!). I haven't posted for more than a month, wow! I will try my best to make up for my lack of posting ;[ Since my last post, nothing much as been going on except school + work for me. I've been pretty busy. I have an essay due every Monday of my life for the rest of this semester. I have some form of quiz every Tuesday. And! I'm getting into exams, yay (not)! I cut down my working days to only 3 days a week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Enough about the depressing part of my life, lmao, on to the fun part! ;p I obviously haven't gone shopping as much since classes started but, I do have some pictures that I've been meaning to share :] Remember how I stated that I was attempting to grow my nails out naturally and how I started using Sally Hassen's Natural Nail Growth Activator? Well, can I say.. SUCCESS? My nails got so long and they felt so healthy. So therefore I had to invest in pretty nail polish to do my nails in, duh!

For Audrey and Spontaneous by China Glaze
It seems like For Audrey is very popular.
I recommend both! Both colors are gooorgeous!

For Audrey by China Glaze

Spontaneous by China Glaze

My nails BEFORE:
This was how short my nails usually are.
They usually chip before they get any longer.
(Heart Throb by O∙P∙I topped with Strawberry Sharbet by Color Club)

My nails NOW:
Look at how much longer my nails grew!
I was so happy ;D
(Spontaneous by China Glaze)

What a big difference! Unfortunately, shortly after the last picture my nails did start to chip because I stopped using Sally Hansen's Natural Nail Growth Activator after I started painting my nails with different colors. So, I cut them short and I'm starting over again :D It's okay. It's refreshing to have short nails again, haha. I can finally feel my keyboard! And, I have text a whole lot faster, lol.

Aside from my wonderful success with my nails, I finally gave in and purchased my first piece of jewelry from DSK (Steph)! It's gorgeous and I love it! Steph makes beauuutiful things. Check her out page and show her some love. DSK Jewelry, click: HERE

The packaging was so cute.

These are the earrings that I purchased!
(Sterling Silver Key & lil AB Star)

Last Friday I stopped by the mall to check out Forever21. My girlfriend who is studying abroad in Ghana spotted a really cute vest online and wanted me to see if it was in the store. Before I entered the store, there was a girl working there who stood right in the front modeling this obnoxiously huge bow on her head. I just had to take a picture of her so I asked her for permission. She said yes :] She was so sweet.

It seems like big obnoxious hair/head accessories are in?
Hahaha. I showed her a picture of the red bow I purchased
a while back and she loved it!

I didn't find the vest my girlfriend wanted, unfortunately :\ It's so hard to find things in that store sometimes so I always resort to online shopping when it comes to Forever21, lol. Since her vest wasn't in the store.. I sense a batch of clothing coming my way ;p I will keep you posted on that! Hahaha.

Despite my gruesome schedule during the weekdays, I still manage to always spend 1 day with my boyfriend on the weekends :] (T* is probably making the barfing motion lolll) I went to see my boyfriend yesterday and he picked up a little something from the Marc Jacobs Special Item Store:

He got us matching Watch Bracelets.
I'm sorry if the picture is dark :[

Mirror Coin purse in Gunmetal

Plane Keyring
I thought this was so cute, I don't know why lol.

Of course he never fails to pick himself up a couple things as well, haha:

Woven Frequncy Plaid Scarf in Maroon Multi

Love Coco Tee

Ride to Live Tee

I love presents ;} hehe. I can't wait til Christmas time! Ask T*, I've been bugging her about Christmas already when it's only October! Halloween's coming up soon! I'm not as crazy about Halloween, but a holiday is a holiday :) I'm curious as to see what people will dress up as! My girlfriends and I already have an idea! After Halloween is another one of my favoritest holidays, Thanksgiving. Food = LOVE, (T* rotfl). Then shortly after all these holidays will be New Years Eve + New Years! Can you believe it? It's almost 2010! Another year just flew right by me. I'll save all the New Years talk for when New Years actually comes ;p

Recently, I've picked up reading again. Since T* has officially come this book worm.. I've decided to read on my spare time as well. I started up on my Twilight series, which I finally purchased a long with my textbooks for class. It's a pretty easy read I must say. It's very fast and pretty entertaining. The 2nd movie, New Moon, comes out November 20th? I believe. I can't wait. I'm 1/2 way done with the 2nd book so I'll definitely be done before the movie comes out. Books are always better than movies, in my opinion at least. I've also finished collecting all the Harry Potter books! I ordered the last book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, a couple of days ago and it came in the mail yesterday. I also ordered Underworld: Rise of the Lycans the book because I enjoyed the movie so I figured I should read the book.


So this will be the end of my post! I miss blogging! I will try my best to keep posting. I don't want to make any promises ;x lol. I hope this marks the start of me making up for the month that I've been MIA, lol.

Take care everyone and bundle up because it's getting a bit chilly.
