Working on a post that’ll go up sometime soon-ish. So no post today, but a great big hug to FB. She’s going through a ton, so nip over to her blog (link somewhere in the side bar. <- way.
One more great big bear hug for FB, though it would be more of tiny-Asian-squeezing-waist, instead of bear hug…
I snitched mom’s Estée Lauder Lucidity today. LOVE it.
One of the things I hate about my current concealer is that it’s tacky to the touch, and doesn’t always work perfectly. In addition, I touch my eyes a lot, which is one of the reasons why I don’t wear stuff like mascara. When I touch my concealer, a bit always comes off on my fingers.
So, I figured I’d try the Lucidity. Mom’s is in Light, or possibly Light medium, which is perfect for my under-eye area. And I have to say, it is holy grail quality. Now, I haven’t tried any other loose powders (though I plan to, now!), but this was honestly amazing. It went on without changing the colour of my concealer, but somehow helped it to blend in a little better – it made my concealer look natural, like a second skin. Also, it has a sparkle to it – I’d normally hate that, but my concealer glitters anyhow, so you can’t really tell. I tried some on the back of my hand to check the sparkle factor, and it looked fantastic – they say it gives you a soft-focus look (as opposed to a disco-glitter one, lol!), and it really does.
I applied mine with a slanted brush, and it worked quite well – I didn’t want to use the pad, as I was just putting it under my eyes, and that would provide too much coverage.
I think mom’s is a sample, because her packaging looks nothing like the one in the photo. Or they may have repackaged recently, I’m not sure. But this is an excellent powder, though I don’t think I’d buy it again – the $30 price tag is a little high for me, but I’m not sure – it may be worth it!
I’ll see if I can try a few other loose finishing powders sometime, and I’ll try to remember to edit the post to let you know just how much better Lucidity is!
I had something that I was like, ooh, I should post that! But then I forgot it.
Maybe it’ll come to me after my morning half-bagel.
(Guess what I’m wearing today? Black dress; Urban Outfitters. Reg. $85, I got it for $10. Purple AA tank, 2/$25 as opposed to $18/each. Lastly, Brody jeans, which I paid $10 for, not the original $60. Ahh. We love buget bargain outfits…)
SPC card holders get 50% off Urban Behavior and Costa Blanca this Friday. I hope I can make it!
(Also, today was so much fun. Think inappropriate jokes, a ton of accidental groping, mainly involving tna and my boobs, and my tophat man accidentally saying “lets make out” instead of “let’s make up”. And someone we know overhearing, and totally going stark white and dropping his books. :D )
Off to keep studying. Matrices final tomorrow. And something in English. I’m not quite sure what.
Gingerbread Latte is a magic trick. In a box. And she gets to keep her box! (Um, you probably have no idea what I was just trying to say. It’s just this thing that I say, I guess – magic tricks in boxes are fantastic!! And the really awesome ones get to keep their boxes. Don’t ask, lol!)
I want to try something by this company, thanks to this review at Canadian Beauty that lead me to them. Mmm…tiramisu lip chap, gingerbread pumpkin body scrub, chocolate elixir cream…. heaven…
Does anyone know anything about Everyday Minerals? I’m considering their sample kit, which is free, but $5-something to ship to Canada. I’m just apprehensive about the whole buying-without-trying thing…
Off to keep on trudging through work again. -sigh- :P
I wanted to get a post up – this one’s just a little unconventional! Click on it to be able to read it. Sorry for the gross yellow colour, it’s the only way I could get the first part to show up clear enough.
I finally figured out how to get a player onto theNotice without throwing it all out of proportion. Ended up resizing it through the HTML. Will never do it again. Technologically inept.
Anyhow, on a more coherent note, it’s got a bit of what I listen to. (Though, if you ask my people, I hate Fergie with a passion, lol!) However, it’s really short – most of what I listen to consists of crazy indie bands, which aren’t on ProjectPlaylist. :(
It’s set on shuffle, and you have to hit play before it will – I hate it when music randomly blasts into my ears, because half the time my headphones are set way too high and it hurts :P
Have a good Sunday, this is it for posting today. And possibly tomorrow. We’ll see.
I believe I may have a new favourite designer. Look at the pretties…:
I am especially in love with this last photo. If only I was rolling in money…
Also, there is a ton of compensating-for-the-fact-that-people-are-inherently-stupid work to be done, so I apologize in advance if I fall off the face of the earth for a few days. Sorry!
I’ve got two group projects that I have to finish. Alone. Again. (The Psych one that I mentioned yesterday and an English one) GAH.
But hey, I just found a bunch of photos of the CMAs. Overall, the faces and hair were gorgeous, and the dresses were ugly as hell. (FTR, I did not watch them, lol! Country music is the bane of my existence.)
We talked about Katie before, right here. She’s still scary as hell. Also, she apparently doesn’t know how to eat any more…
Wait, what was that you said? I wasn’t paying attention, I was too busy trying to figure out what the hell is up with her boobs. Something looks very, very “off”.
I have no idea who this person is. But she definitely isn’t at prom, and she’s not a bridesmaid, or a princess, so why is she wearing this?!
You know all the hubbub on Asian women and Caucasian men right now? Valley Girl has a really fantastic explanation of it, and I couldn’t agree more. If you haven’t already, definitely read this one – it’s bloody brilliant. :)
