A bit of everything

Ever since I got my Coastal Scents 88 palette, I've been experimenting with different looks. I still don't think applying eyeshadow is my forte but I'm learning, hopefully I'll improve. If not...I'll just stick with fashion. ;)

Here's a purple smokey eye look that I did:

I'm not the most organized person in the world, I usually jot down notes/appointments on my cell phone. But I personally think writing things down by hand is better. So I thought for the new year I'd start using a planner. I also use it as a mini diary.

Got mines from Moleskine. I named her Vivian:

Valentine's Day 2010 was fun. It's the third V-day in a row that I've been single, so I'm used to it. Even when I had a boyfriend, I didn't care so much for it. But now I use it as an excuse to hang out with my girls!! Yay. Who needs lying and manipulative men anyways? Cause I sure don't. :)
On the 13th I hung out with 3 of my close friends for some serious catching up time.
On the actual day of V-day my best friend and I got dressed up and went out to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. I wish I took more pictures, but I tend to forget about my camera when I'm having a lot of fun.

Speaking of Cheesecake Factory, my favorite cheesecake from there is the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle! I'm having mad cravings for it right at this very moment!! It's crazy delicious:

It even comes in ice cream form! I must head to Walmart tomorrow.

I'm definitely buying one of these lipsticks from MAC's Viva Glam campaign w/ Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper. Anything to support AIDS awareness.

Some things I'm eyeing from Urban Outfitters:

I also want an accessory stand from UO. Just deciding which one, since there is so many to choose from.

On a side note I'm giving up MySpace for lent. Was also considering coffee but that is too hard. ;_;
Feel free to share what you'll be giving up for lent this year. :)

Currently lusting over

I've been in love with gray nail polish since December. I love how unconventional it is.

^Ok so my picture isn't the best example since my polish was chipping at the time. But just trying to prove how much I love it. :)
My shade is from Forever 21, by the way.

I'd like an upgrade though! Here are some shades that I want to own. As well as other things on my wish list:

OPI: You Don't Know Jacques

Urban Decay: Alice in Wonderland Book Of Shadows

This is a dream come true for anyone who is a Tim Burton or Urban Decay enthusiast. Though I am a bit scared if I were to get my hands on this, that it might just go to waste, since I'm still a beginner at applying eyeshadow (well for extreme looks at least). It is a bit pricey, around $50 at Sephora. But I'm still tempted!

I am also considering getting the sleep mask as well.

When I saw this exact picture of Gemma Ward in my Teen Vogue magazine 4 years ago, I fell in love with that purse! And yes I want it in pink as well, though black or white will also do. :)
Ah I would work 2 jobs or more just to get one!


As for life, it has been boring. Can't wait to go back to school in April!
