Thought you might like to know. That is all.
- I am kind of addicted to kettle corn, as of late. None of the carmel-y sticky stuff, though — just the sugared-and-salted kind you’d find at your farmer’s market.
- Some people eat ice cream when they’re upset. I’m lactose intolerant (that totally counts as something about me,) so…
- I bake. A lot.
- I honestly believe that the best dark chocolate you’ll ever find in North America must be found within a silver Lindt wrapper. (Or, if it’s one of the very large bricks, in a gold wrapper.)
- I do not believe that poutine is better in all of Quebec. However, if you’re ever in Tadoussac, there’s this adorable little hole in the wall with amazing poutine… spicy and heavy on the cheese!
- If I could eat the best food in the entire world for the rest of my life, but I’d have to be fifty pounds heavier to do so — hell, I’d sign myself right up for that!
- I’m a closet foodie. Obviously.
- Seriously? No way! Tag yourselves, you’re all gorgeous if you ask me =D If you do want to accept your award and tell the interwebs seven
of your deepest, darkest secretsthings about you, go ahead. And make sure to send the link my way in this comment thread, because I want to read those posts!
Umm… yah. So I’ve been tagged a number of times for this one, and I still haven’t done it! :/ Sorry. Thank you so much to all the wonderful bloggers who tagged me, and here goes nothing!
7 things about me, which I’ve themed because I’m not nearly creative enough to come up with a list of seven unrelated things:

This week has been quite the posting fiasco! Videos take forever, especially when you’re as clumsy as I am… I can’t believe how many times I knocked over that camera!
So anyhow, here are some photos of MAC’s Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Silverplate. I love the colour of this — it’s a nice, “dirty” silver. However, I’d honestly go with a GOSH or Prestigepencil before splurging on the MAC. I don’t see the formula or colour choice as being superior in any way, so save yourself some cash!
(It can go into your Alice fund. Oh, how I wish the AiW Box of Shadows wasn’t so expensive!)

I don’t know quite what happened here, and I don’t really want to know. This promo has “the ick factor,” which is really unfortunate — the collection actually sounds pretty interesting! Cremesheens and lip pencils, plus mineralized blushers in “abstract” shapes.
But this promo? It’s just… *shudders* it’s like someone is pouring peptol bismol over pretty blushers, which happen to be sitting around with cotton candy/ice cream/sponge-things.
Wow, it feels like we haven’t done product reviews for ages!
What it is: NYC’s Pink Cheek Glow, a supposed NARS Orgasm dupe

On the colour: Yah, I’m really not getting Orgasm out of this. It’s much more pink, if you ask me, and the shimmer is more fine. (Which, in my books, is a good thing!) I’m assuming it gets recognized as an O dupe because of a) its sheerness, and b) its neutrality — I can see thisapricot-pink working on most ladies who are lighter than about NW30, though there is of course some degree of layering to be expected.

On the formula: Sometimes you find a great drugstore Holy Grail… but others, you get what you pay for. Though the colour of this is fairly inoffensive, the product itself is on the chalky side, and the pigmentation is quite low. The wear time is exactly what you thought it would be: nothing to be ashamed of for the price, but it won’t last you through the day. Unfortunately, thecumbersome packaging is too large and too loose to go with you during the day, unless you want powder all over your bag.

On the ingredients:

The verdict? Though this would be a good starter blush for a preteen (it’s hard to mess up when you have this little pigment!) I’m going to tell you to pass on it. Yes, it’s cheap, and kind of cute, but it’s also a waste of time if you ask me — unless you like reapplying every fifteen minutes?
So this is the last instalment in the contouring series — I hope it was helpful! Even if it’s still a little confusing at first, remember that the most important thing really is to PRACTICE. There are some things you just can’t learn unless you’re doing it yourself, and this is one of them!
Here’s one of the family Christmas photos, which I finally finished working on! My sister (on the left) has the babyface complex, so she asked me to have you guys guess at her age. Any takers?
For the record, I’ve never actually announced her name… so, blogreaders, meet Rita. Ri, meet my lovely readers!
Yah, I thought so.
