Revlon Lashes! :)

Yay~ so the package from Revlon finally came today.
I have never tried Revlon lashes before so I'm excited about these :D
I have short, brittle lashes so false lashes are always tempting. I like the ones that don't look fake but adds volume and some length to the eyes.

I was sent 5 lashes, 2 that are the traditional glue on ones, and three that are the new ones - the self adhesive ones.


So the self-adhesive ones are the ones that Revlon claims that you don't need glues to glue it on. There is an extra adhesive band included along with an eyelash applicator.

I will upload how the lashes look tomorrow, and try to show you guys how the lashes look on eyes with makeup on (I already took a shower and didn't want to put makeup on tonight =/ sorry girls)


This is the self adhesive lashes in 99500 intensifying (I got two of these)


Self adhesive 99501 in Defining


And then this was the glue on ones 91003 - Flirty (two of these)



Hmm, I was wondering where the lashes were made from, and like many lashes, these were made in Indonesia. But I noticed that it left a huge carbon footprint all over the world :'(
Lashes made in Indonesia, Lash glue made in Korea and shipped and packaged in Mexico, shipped around in US.. yikes :p

But anywho, I could only wish that cosmetics companies could become a bit more eco-friendly. :)

I'll see you guys in the post tomorrow. I might upload a pic tut too.
Which style do you guys like?

Good night ladies!

The Color Tag

I was tagged by Uinisan and I had to bring out a couple of my stuff that were gray. I had a hard time because I must be going crazy, I can't differentiate between grays and silvers.
So, here's all I could collect. Man, I should get some more gray makeup stuff. I feel so incomplete.

Here's a full shot of the grays..




1. Time Warner Cable remote control.
haha, yeah.. I don't have fios at home, but TWC is.. uh.. I guess ok. I do like the start over option, but it's not applicable to all channels. Also, the only down side of it is, once you hit start over, you can't fast forward through the show. But other than that, I have a crappy TV, so can't complain about HD features or so LOL.

2. iPod Classic 120G
I think this is my fourth ipod. Previously I had the 5th Generation classic and due to my constant dropping and pressing buttons randomly, the machine went dead, so I had to buy another classic to fit all my songs in it. I think I have like 5200 songs in it, but I only listen to a handful :p
I wouldn't have been able to survive school if my ipods weren't there. I always had to have some sort of music banging in my ears while I was walking or when I was on the subway.

3. Maquillage Shadow
It's more of an ashy-shimmery color with a lot of shimmers in it. I bought this at Narita Airport back in 2006 or 2007 (I think). I don't reach for it as often as I reach for the brown shade, but it is a very Japanese charcoal color (if that even makes sense).
You can watch a video of me using that shade here

4. Kate Dual carat
I think the product name is listed under black, but it's more silvery gray!
Like all dual carats, it comes in two colors, which is really convenient because you can basically create a great look with using only two shades :)
I have two other dual carats, and my favorite one is the BR01.
I love KATE eyeshadows! I think there is a reason why KATE e/s are always constantly rated #1 in Japan.

5. Fob Key!
It's this key that you have to gain access to my building and all the accommodations (like the breakfast room, movie room, gym, and even when you walk in the building). Every fob key is registered under a resident's name, address and uh.. picture...., and my picture in the system is horrifying LOL. I mean, this is why I don't let guys take pictures.. they don't seem to care if you are ready or not and just press the shutter while you're talking, and then they refuse to take another shot for you *cries*. But all is good. I would be happy to get a print out of my picture when I move out :D

6. Philly elephant
I like going to Philadelphia, PA. And last time I went there, me and my boyfriend went to this museum and at the museum store, they were selling these really tiny animal figures for 25 cents each. I collect at least one animal whenever I go to zoos or aquariums, so I was going to buy like one penguin and one other animal, but ended up with a lot of animals including this elephant :D
He's very rubbery and small, yet great details!

7. Stila Smudge pot in Gray
It's one of the three smudge pots I got from Beauty Crunch. I really like the black smudge pot. It's like permanent ink! If you guys are looking for non-smudging eyeliners, Stila smudge pots are the way to go. Once it dries, it won't even smear a bit. It's fixed on there all day long.
As you can see in the photo, I haven't used the gray one yet, but it's gray! so it got featured in this tag :p

8. A mouse pad.
It's not mine, but it was in the room haha.
Cute :D

9. Dior Capture R 60/80
Hmm... really don't know what to say about this baby. I'm almost out of it, yet I am still waiting to be impressed by it. It's a liquid lotion and it is on the moisturizing side. But I like the cream type better, it feels more secure (?).
I can't really say it captures your youth and is a pre-wrinkle treatment. It's just a very very light weighted liquid lotion that gives you average moisturizing treatment.

10. A metallic gray scarf
It is insanely long, yet very fashionable and versatile.

11. My everyday in-house skirt.
7 for all men kind gray mini skirt. I think I bought it like 2 years ago, ever since, I have been wearing it whenever I am home. It's kind of stretchy like all 7 jeans and it's very comfy. good to get down on my knees and polish the floor. And if it gets too loose, all I have to do is throw it in the washer and it will shrink right back to its original size.

12. Zara turtle neck.
Contrary to the skirt, this doesn't stretch at all. So the neck part is actually very pretty because it's tight, but I have a hard time squeezing my big head into the neck section when I have to wear this. My face gets all red and hair all messed up :p LOL
The shirt is a bit long, it crinkles around the hip area, so if you have a big mid-section or a big hip, this shirt might not be right for you. But it goes very well with anything - jeans, a suit, skirts, shorts~


Ok, and here's a bonus shot :p
An army of cute grays!!

Some penguins are missing (like my favorite Bethy Beth), but most of them took the time to take off their shirts in order to show their grays :D


Hope you guys have an awesome night/day :)

Just a small SNSD poster


So I guess the Aisa Tour is on. They say the tickets start at 7,7000 won (approx. 70 dollars?)
So anyway, who is your favorite girl in the picture (whether or not you know them :)
I was always a Sunny (3rd from the right) fan, but lately, I dunno I think I like all of them for different reasons.

Sorry =/ not a really big post. Just wanted to share the new poster with you guys.
If you click on it, you can see it in its original size


Score!!

Hi!
So, I was poking around craigslist yesterday, and having to be a beauty guru I couldn't help but go into the beauty and health section. Usually, weird things are on sale (like adult diapers or medical equipment stuff, etc). But anyway, I spotted an ad that was selling MAC stuff (( * Tip, if MAC and WHOLESALE go together in a sentence, don't even bother. They are fakes)).
Usually, these kind of stuff are sold by people selling fake MACs, but I clicked anyway, and it was this makeup artist selling her backup stuff for very cheap (all new and untouched!).

So to make a long story short, I scored two things I was willing to buy for full price for only 10 dollars!!! ( 5 dollars each, squeal!!)

I got the Carbon Eyeshadow and the famous Aloof lipstick.



Here's the two together :D Aww~~~ so pretty~~~


The eyeshadow (Carbon)
It's a matte finish and some call it the blackest of black (darkest black shade from MAC?). I have Black tied, but I've been meaning to buy Carbon for such a long time, I am happy to have stumbled upon the craigslist ad.


The Lipstick (aloof)


Aloof swatch.

It's such a pretty color!! I love how it doesn't have shimmers and is a baby pink color. It's a lustre finish and is creamy with a pretty sheen to it. I am very happy with it. And this has been discontinued for quite a while, so I am happy it was super super cheap and new.


Carbon and Aloof swatches :)


Yay!!!~~
I asked her if she still had products left and she said she had some on hold and many more available, so if you are in the 5 boroughs area (NY only) and have the time to pick things up at Bronx, you should check her stuff out :D


She brought a lot more stuff out, but I didn't have extra cash on me and being the cheap me, I didn't want to get out of the station, so I blew my chance. But anyway, sometimes craigslist has amazing deals, so check on it regularly!

I was debating if I should get the goldenaire pigment, but I don't use pigments that much so I didn't buy it. :( If any of you could grab it, go for it!
This is one of those rare bargain deals ^__^

Okay, I should go study :p
have a good one ladies!
