Starting Over. .

ok so as you know i have moved back into my parents (for those who dont know the story behind why, ask around you'll figure it out) so i am tryin to set up my setup lol. here is was i have so far....

..yes its quite pathetic but a work in progess. its in an open area right in front of a a bunch of doors and windows, and the last video on my channel was almost in the same spot so we al know the lighting couldnt be much better!

i need idea on how to make this work bc there arent any drawers or anything so i want to make it somewhat classy. am i just gonna have to settle with buyin the nice black rubbermaid mesh office organizers, or can somewhat come up with something better?

we can turn this into a contest of sorts. Any suggestions i use from any of my followers ill send a little something something to! So lets start brainstormin together folks I really want to get this done so i can make videos with more ease!

Thanks you guys!

PS. the mirror will be replaced eventually lol but right now its all i gots.

Obsession

So i finally recieved my SugarSweet haul from mac which i was super stoked about! i havent gotten the chance to use them yet but o its going to be wonderful lol. So this morning i felt the urge to take an updated collection picture and compare the previous one i took at the beginning of january.So this one is Jan. 1
And this one i just took this morning. Kind of cool to see how much CRAP you have accumulated in 3 months.

So its about to start storming pretty bad and im REALLY cold because i just ate some EGGO cereal, which was pretty good lol. so im going to crawl into bed and take a nap before work. I also tweezed the HELL out of my eyebrows and i think i have gotten them more symmetric. I hope everyone is doing good thank you all for following! i gained a few since i checked last so thanks u all! ok im going to bed now :)

Hospitals...

so these are all the pills im taking twice a day. 2 tylenols, 2 gas x, and one 20 mg pepcid. great fun....im so irresponsable with takin medicine its not even funny. my boyfriend has to remind me most of the time. my very fashionable post hospital look. FEIRCE! this is my "o god i think im gonna puke face"

ok so you guys have known about me always complaining about being sick, or my stomach hurting. So i finally broke down and went to the ER. Keep in mind i have no medical insurance (DONT JUDGE ME! lol) and beleive me the best way to go is ER and not to schedule an appointment somwhere. so i went got right in to see a doctor. and spent like 4 hours there. most of that time i was stuck with an iv and gettin a liquids drip. the nurse took 7 vials of blood which im not a big person i dont think i had much left to spare after that, i was pretty damn loopy. they gave me this GI cocktail which consists of maalox and some other hospital shit which is suppose to numb my esophagus, stomach, etc anything affected by acid reflux. which it did help for about 5 minutes but quickly went away. SOOO after that, is when they gave me this blasted IV. i have never had an IV before so it was kinda nerve racking. in the end i was prescribed some fenegren stuff for nausea and pepcid for the burning. i took it upon myself to not fill the fenegren bc i do get nauseated but its only it brief spirts so i dont see the need for it. i also decided to purchase some gas X for the bloating and fullness which really sucks ontop of all the inflammations :( boo. so just hoping that all these meds will do what they are suppose to do, what i have isnt a quick fix itll prolly take a week at least to get back to normal so wish me luck!

Sorry again you guys for slacking with the video making but hopefully this will put into perspective the type of crap i have been going through for past 2 weeks. So im on the mend, video production should be back to normal soon, so be ready! Love you guys and thanks for all the birthday wishes and the nice comments about quitting smoking! DAY 7 u guys its been an entire week! WOOT! and i really only get a craving like once a day for one which isnt bad at all for a week. i have just been drinking more liquids lately replacing the cigarette factor. works like a charm. bc ur not eating something thats gonna make you gain weight like ppl say ur just filling up on a drink. thats my method, take it for what its worth.

love you ALL!!

Experiments

Hey guys! So as I was gettin ready for work yesterday, I decided to take a before and after picture of my face. All i can say is, WOW HOLY SHIT I LOOKED ROUGH. my face looks so gross lol.

Here is the after: MUCH BETTER! dont u love how im doing the EXACT same pose? You can barely tell that they are different pictures. Too funny. I wanna encourage some of you to try this, I didnt think that there'd be such a drastic difference, but i can honestly say, "im soo glad i wore makeup yesterday!"

So here are some close-up of the look i did. I meant to make a tutorial as i was gettin ready and completly forgot like an idiot.
I used SPELL's creme de menthe eye candy shadow on the entire lid. then i used vintage gold in the entire crease, followed by antiqued green on top of the vintage gold on the outer half of the crease then some chartreuse on the inner half of the crease. all those colors were pressed MAC pigments, excluding the SPELL one obviously lol. I also used some vanilla right in the tear ducts for some bonus eye popping points. liquid liner for top lashline, lash stiletto and some tightrimmed using feline.
I thought it came out super pretty hope you guys like! I have a really cool video coming up tonight its saving right now (which takes like 390453405 years) so ill upload first thing when i get home tonight. I only work 4 hours tonight how freakin sweet is that!? im off tomorrow and i have to go grocery shopping so incredibally bad its not even funny lol. hopefully ill get some tutorials done too i want to like 4 this week so watch out for those! ok love u guys!

Hopefully u guys can see the picture ok. but i got some mac piggies from THEBODYNEEDS2.com. then my contest winnings from spellcosmetics.com and my MAC order i placed to get a few things. OMG my birthday is coming right you guys, March 23! My mom is going to be going back and forth to chicago (haha leesh) and theres a MAC store there!! WOOT HOLLA! so she told me to compile a list of stuff she can get tehre for my birthday...so yay to MORE MAC STUFFS! happy girl yay yay yay. ok so today i wore a blue and black look to work.
i used SEA ME shadestick (thanks brooke) as a base for freshwater ES. carbon in the crease and vanilla as a highlight. blacktrack fluidline as my top lashline liner and lash stiletto from maybelline for mascara. i was in a rush and FORGOT my FELINE eye kohl but it still looked GORGEOUS! hope u guys liked! i been doing pretty good lately with this whole blog thing, eh? i dont know whats come over me lol.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE!
all my hauls will now be posted to my blog, because i feel like making a video just clutters up my channel and according to view count more ppl watch the tutorials rather than my hauls so i wont be doing those anymore, unless i get a demand for them:)

Valentine

I hope all of you had a great valentines day with your significant other or just some girl friends. if not that sucks ive been there maybe next year honeys! So i just got a ton of valentine goodies from brian the boyfriend. figured id share with you guys :)
So he got me the cutest red velvet stuffed bear that says "happy valentine's day" on a little heart its holding. a dozen long stemmed white roses (he always gets these for me bc when i was in Nm he sent me some just cause i was sick this was before we were dating :) awww) 3 bags of lindt lindor truffles my favorite he got 2 peanut butter ones (which are rare as hell to find but they are our faves he got the last two bags) and the stracciatella ones which are white chocolate with cocoa bits stuck in em. NOM


He also got me the game apples to apples because theres a youtuber i used to watch and she used to play it all the time and it looked uber fun and me and brian love playin board games and such so i wanted a new one and he picked it up! YAY board games FTW!

And then, he out did himself with this monstrosity of a makeup organizer. A 7 drawered (every makeup gurus DREAM) and it hold every last bit of my makeup with some room to spare...thats RIDICULOUS. i took pictures of what im storing in each drawer for your enjoyment. :)
ok first drawer all my palettes (hip duo, coastal scents 88 shimmer, 2 empty CS palettes (which are being given away as prizes( and my 4 mac palettes however one of them is empty but not for long :) my holiday smoky eyes, dame edna and a midnight soot palette i won in elise's contest a while back

2ND DRAWER: in here ive got my msfs, a mac blush, gel liners, paint pts, fluidlines, elf bronzer, some random stuff

3rd DRAWER:my lip stuff, shadestick type shadows (nyx mac, milani, etc) nail tools and falsies

4th DRAWER: brushes i dont use that often, some EDM samples, spell shadows, some single eyeshadows that dont have any sort of palette to go into, 2 concealer sticks

5th DRAWER:eye liners, lip liners, drugstore, foundation i dont use, fix +, brush cleaner, makeup removing stuff, mascaras liquid liners

6th DRAWER:B2M empties, spell samples and mario badescu samples and a nifty bead organizer holding all my pigment samples. its full, i may need another one :/

7th and FINAL DRAWER: my hairspray blowdryer and curling iron (essentially hair shit....wow...sadness)

F*^$##$^$^ HELLO KITTY

so i wasnt gonna get anything from this %$^%^&^&#$@#$ collection, and then ELISE posted her HK kitty haul, and made me do it!!!! im gonna KEEEL HER! SO ended up getting Big Bow Lipstick and Tippy Beauty Powder Blush (which i had just got done bashing to elle about). I also have milk pigment and very pink reflects from the HK collection coming as well in pigment form which i ordered from thebodyneeds.com i bught 2 in milk so i could press them but leesha (xsparkage) said that Milk is kind of like kitchmas and i dont like kitchmas so i may be trading it depending on when i get it. Ive also got like 6 more pigments coming to be pressed. i ordered two of each so i could press them bc im a cheap bitch. :) some of u i know can relate, im NOT ashamed of mooching off of pigment samples lol. Im currently sipping on some Dunkin Donuts Coffee (the kind sold at supermarkets to brew at home)nom however i cant seem to get the coffee proportionate to the damn water so its not quite as good, but there is not ONE EFFING DUNKIN in the entire state of ARKANSAS! WTF is the story with THAT?!?! my fave thing from there is the hoooly shiiit u guys that is like organism served in a convenient cup with a straw. LEGIT. i always get these when i go up to Pawtucket for Christmas :) Speaking of christmas, you will NEVER guess where i might be going for xmas.....go ahead...i DARE you.....o yes i went there. ok so disney does this thing for active duty military sometimes they did it right after 9/11 and are apparently doing it again for whatever reason but active duty military gets a 5 day park hopper for free and up to 4 dependants for 100$ per park hopper. thats is RIDICULOUS. so i may gettin to see me some mariana aka darkroomglamour on YOUTUBE. this is a REALLY LONG Blog. im tryng to drink this coffee black because im borderline lactose intolerent but i CANNOT have dairy in the morning my stomach will like explode and that wouldnt be good. black coffee with 7 packets of splenda isnt half bad! lol. ok i think i need to go now. bye u guys much love!!

The CryStaL Light ProBleM

ok you guys, here the scoop. so like some of u know about my crystal light on the go problem. crystal light on the gos (for those who live under rocks) are these
they are little packets u dissolve into a bottle of water and it makes it NOMMMY. Follow? good. so like i used drink soda like a ridiculous amount a day. like going through 3 12 pks of soda every week between me and the bf. WELL after i discovered the little packets of heaven, i have almost given up drinking soda entirely! 1 soda a day IF THAT. which is really REALLY good........right? WRONG. THESE effing crystal light things have aspartame. I have an aspartame intolerance lol. when i drink things, with aspartame in them, it upset my stomach kind of in waves. i take a sip a few moments later and stomach hurts but only for a few minutes than subsides, until i take another swallow. but i cant help but think the crystal light on the gos are better for me then like 5 sodas a day.

ah, me. anyway more exciting news. MY SPELL GLOSS WAS LAUNCHED a few nights back!! yayy!Yay! so excited for mine to come in!! i will deff post swatches!
o boy. im pretty sure im going to quit smoking before my car gets fixed. some of u know i am a smoker of ab 6 1/2 years. i was planning on quitting the day my car was fixed which is coming up before the months out. buut i feel the need (due to health histories) that i need to quit sooner. so anyday now, im going to quit for good. i no longer drink alcohol anymore so it wont be as hard this time around lol.
i honestly dontknow how i gained a few more followers lol! I thank all of my followers!! yall are awesome if it wasnt for yall id totally abandon this attempt at blogging! if theres anything u guys would like to see, holla at a bitch! lemme know what u guys want to see from me. it will def, make things aLOT EASIER!! thanks again!
