My make up and stuff

 Casual day today. (^∇^)I've been in really good moods lately since I've been high on anime/manga~ I finished off my second bag of beef jerky (damn, I love that stuff) and did my math homework for the last hour of the weekend AHAHAHAHA. I hardly get so little homework anymore.
You can see how much I like it because it's empty, LOL. Also, I don't like VitaSoy much compared to the Korean black sesame
This is my make up box which is about 1 1/2 ft x 1 3/4 ft?
It was neater, but every time I play with them, it all ends up messy again lol. ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ
This is pretty much what I used for the make up in the picture below.
I love how Japanese make up revolves around making your eyes look bigger.
Short shorts! :D
Melona~ strawberry flavor. I personally love the mango flavor better.
Almost done eating it ohohoho.
Amy helped me take this on our way home from school.

Good morning~

It's like 10:15am here, and I had jichong phun for break fast which is this Chinese rolled up noodle thing that you usually put soy sauce over. I personally hate it to death. I also hate all Chinese food lol. Mostly because I've eaten it waayyy too often, but what do you expect to eat when you're Chinese? Anyway, I was forced to eat it so I grabbed as little as possible and threw some kimchi in there. :]


Also, I forgot to upload these pictures Amy took of me at school. :P Much like my last one lol. I like how warm the jacket is.

And I painted my nails the other day Revlon's Minted.

Went out with Amy~

After school on Friday, me and Amy went home to drop off our books, then went to hang out at the mall. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ We went by this frozen yogurt place; Tutti Frutti and they had bubble drinks so we get some. She got the coffee and I got this jasmine green tea and it had nice sweet tea taste and barely bitter with a delicious floral taste. ( ´ ω ` )

Mine's. Not very green for green tea, lol.

We went to Barnes & Noble's at the mall just to chill out. I'm reading Otomen & a Nylon magazine.

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (For dry/dry combination skin) 

Picture + site

What they say: The moisture “drink” developed by Clinique’s dermatologists to maintain optimal moisture balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone. Softens, smooths, improves.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

So my friend had given a sample of this (a cute 1 fl.oz./30ml tube) to me because I had said I wanted to try it, but I was originally going to get the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel for oily/oily combination skin because I am a grease ball, but I've been having this dry/flaky patches of skin near my mouth and nose.

Pro's
: Fragrance free, so none of that perfume stuff that is known to break out your skin! I have to say I am in loooveee with this, because after the first use you couldn't see the flakiness in the dry parts of my face, it did the best job moisturizing, without making my skin greasy. After 2 weeks of use, the flaky patches near my mouth were completely gone. After a little over a month of us, the flakiness around my nose was completely gone. I was really worried this would break me out because my skin is just that greasy, but I haven't gotten a single break out anywhere on my face I was using this.

Con's: None at all other than this light soy scent I'm not much a fan of.

I will definitely buy this again.

Drugstore Creme Eyeshadow Palettes Review

So the only ones I have are Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Skinlights (quad) and Maybelline Eye Studio Color Gleam Cream Eyeshadow in Rose Revolution. Similar shades so I'm just gonna compare the two as well.

Pro's: Really good pigment, 2 colors come off exactly how they are in the palette (1st and last color). The packaging is pretty neat. Black, thin and sleek with a mirror. Loved the shades and the nice smooth creamy texture.
Con's: Particularly on my eyes, the colors are virtually undetectable. Like there's absolutely NOTHING there but shimmer that makes my lids look greasy. The 2nd and third colors in the palette are off tone. I had expected a SLIGHT gold shimmer for the pink shade, but ended up with gold with a hint of pink on my lids. The lightest one (second) ended up being a shimmery white. I could possibly be using them wrong, but you absolutely cannot put multiple coats of them due to their extreme creasing and I don't even know HOW they clumped together. Also, they colors would NOT even hold on to my brush so I had to use my fingers.

I would not repurchase.

Pro's: Pretty good color pay off with this one as well when swatched. Better color pay off on my lids than Revlon and loved the shades. Smooth creamy texture with this one, too.
Con's: Much similar to the Revlon one, the pink and the lightest shade were off than how they appeared in the palette and didn't show a whole lot on my lids. Same problem with creasing and building only increased its notice-ability a little but left me with clumps on my eyes. It does not hold onto my brushes and I had to use my fingers with this, too.

★NewYearRANT

Picture oriented as I am, none this time. :c Any who, I'm as stuck as ever on my history project and can't find enough of the pictures I need and can't come up with any good reason to explain why I have the ones I do have. I wish I could stop going out so much because it's hard to say no and I want to work on this blog and with make up more hahaha. (GOD, WHY AM I SO POPULAR. LOLJK) I was too late to get the circle lens deal and so I can either pay full price or wait another year. .___. Maybe if I can save my money until Chinese New Year, I can get them. (WHY AM I SO CHEAP?!) I'm thankful for my friends this year who enrage me but are all so sweet and go through great lengths for me. 

I need more time to myself to read manga. Particularly shoujo♥ because I used to go on MangaFox after school everyday just to find new shoujo manga to read because there is always a lot out there and the reason why I like it so much is because it's such a love filled world that's extremely fluffy and sparkly and sickening to some I know. (AMYLOL) It lets me out of reality and pretend that maybe it could happen to me. (Obviously I'm a girl who dreams of a-little-less-than-perfect Prince Charmings)

I've been so pissed and depressed today (most likely mood swings from my time of the month) I ate a bunch of chocolate things to cheer myself up. (so long, almost clear face! ( ; Д ;)/~~)

Onto my New Years Resolution! Gross. Everything begins with an S
•Stop talking (so people will think I'm nicer)
•Suck it up and not be such a bitch to less-than-bright people
•Stop that 'habit' and work hard
•Shoot for A's
