FOTD: Turquoise Jewel

I got a lot of positive feedback from my first FOTD so I thought I would try it a second time  :)  As you can tell from the title, this is a colorful look. I hate to admit it but I used to buy colored eyeshadow just because it was pretty. Shame on me... I know. But it's summer time now and I want to play with some of my bright shades. I usually just dust on a very neutral eye and then pop some color on the bottom lash line but today that was not the case.

FACE:
Maybelline Superstay Concealer
Prescriptives Mineral Foundation (only to set the concealer)
NYC Plaze Pink Blushable Creme Stick

 
Closeup (I took this without flash because with it on it totally washed out the color... hopefully you can kind of see the crease work)

EYES:
UDPP
NYX Milk Jumbo Pencil
Palladio Sky Blue Eyeliner
Maybelline Turquoise Jewel Eyeshadow
MAC Carbon Eyeshadow
MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow
Loreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner
NYX Disco Queen Glitter Liner
Rimmel Max Volume Flash Mascara

LIPS:
Revlon Peach Petal Super Lustrous Lipgloss

 Sorry for the cheesy smile LOL I couldn't keep a straight face!  The same thing happened last time... I took a ton of pictures and only like these few. I would have taken more but the camera died. So anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this and once again, I apologize for the quality. I think I might just do one more of these until I get a better camera. You know what they say... three is the lucky number  :)

8 Questions Tag!

I was tagged by the lovely Ariel to do this and I am excited!  The way this tag works is really interesting. So the person who tags you makes up eight questions and once your finished with answering theirs, you come up with eight of your own questions.

1. What is your dream job?
My dream job and what I will be studying for is to become a nurse. More specifically, I want to be a labor/delivery RN because well... I love babies! They are so freaking cute LOL! I also want to find a part time 'job' as a puppy sitter (and there is such thing as a puppy sitter... my friend worked as one!) I would love to sit around for several hours and play with puppies... what more could you ask for?

2. What is your favorite fragrance for summer?
I didn't have to think about this for more than a second. It's my newest fragrance... DKNY Be Delicious! I used to always smell it in Sephora and as you all know I finally purchased it in my last haul. I am obsessed with it and I got a ton of compliments! Absolutely perfect for summer!

3. How do you take your coffee/tea?
I like my coffee with cream and sugar.  I feel like that's a really obvious answer as I'm sure many people like theirs with cream and sugar but I always eye how much of each I put in so I can't tell you how many spoonfuls and stuff like that.  I also like the flavored coffee creamers like hazelnut or french vanilla.  I like my tea plain... I used to add just a little bit of honey in there but now I'd rather do without it.

4. What is your most important beauty secret?
Less is more. I think make up is something that is supposed to be used to enhance ones beauty and not to cover it up by piling on foundation and powder and so on.

5. If you had an all-expenses paid vacation anywhere, where would you go?
I would go to the Philippines! My boyfriend is half filipino and he is always telling me how  much he loves it there and how nice the beaches are. We are hoping to go later this year so an all-expenses paid vacation would be amazing LOL!

6. If a genie popped up in your lap right now and offered you 3 wishes, what would they be?
My first wish would be that all my family members are healthy and happy. Second wish would be to have my old dog back. He was a pomeranian named Prince and he was my baby but we had to give him away. And lastly, I would wish to be rich!  Who wouldn't?

7. If you could only have breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert foods for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
Probably dinner because there are a variety of foods you could eat whereas breakfast consists of pancakes and waffles and when I think of lunch I think sandwich haha... that's weird.

8. If you were Hello Kitty, what color hairbow would you wear?
LOL what a cute question! I guess if I were Hello Kitty I would wear a black hairbow because black goes with everything  :)


Now for my questions...
1. What are three things you love about yourself?
2. Where are your favorite places to shop?
3. If you have a tattoo(s), what is it and why did you get it? If you don't have one, what would you get and why?
4. Where do you see yourself in 15 years?
5. If you could live somewhere for a month where would it be?
6. What is one thing that you could eat everyday?
7. What are some things you like most about having a blog?
8. If you could choose to have all the products of one cosmetic line, which one would you pick and why?

I tag...
If anyone else wants to do this feel free!

A Little Bit Of Everything

Remember when I told you all that I was upset and that shopping makes me feel better? Well, one thing in that sentence has changed. I am happy camper once again and everything in my life is back to normal now... thank you all for your kind comments  :)  Anyways, shopping did make me feel better and man did I shop!

I didn't have enough time to take a picture or swatch each and every product but no worries because I listed them below!

I also got a new fragrance for summer that I LOVE!
It smells amazing and is perfect for the hot weather because you just feel so fresh with it on!

And onto the last thing that I am extremely excited about...A new phone! I have been wanting a new phone for so long and right when I was about to get one I was given this and I love it! Just a LG Neon... nothing high tech or touch screen or anything like that... and that's just how I like it LOL! It's simple and cute and I wouldn't ask for anything more. Now if I had my boyfriend's phone I think I would go crazy... way to confusing for me!

So that's my latest haul! I am positive that I will be reviewing some of these products but if you want me to review a specific one then leave them down in the comments and you will see a review in a near post  :)

3. I've taken many different kinds of lessons.  I'm talking dance lessons, horseback riding lessons, karate lessons, ice skating lessons, piano lessons, and swimming lessons. I didn't stick with any but I promise I'm not a brat! I was forced to do some and others... I guess they just got old.

Attempting My First FOTD...

I know I told you all in my everything ramble that my next post was going to be a haul... well not quite yet. I like to order online a lot and things are taking forever so hang in there because it's coming  :)

Meanwhile, I was overly excited about getting a new camera but I doubt that's going to be soon so I decided to give my old cam one more chance. I tried taking a close up of my eye but there would always be this shadow thing and without flash you couldn't see the colors at all and blah blah blah... it just didn't work!  I was so frustrated! Calm down May haha.

So I've said this before that I am a total neutrals girl and I have done and loved many brown smokey eyes and this is just another one to add onto the list. 
What's up with the tacky lip pout?I didn't even realize LOL!  Oh and don't mind my horrible eyebrows... I was trying something different and I hate it but it's too late to fix them now.

FACE:
Coastal Scents Medium Camo Quad
Prescriptives Mineral Foundation (only to set the concealer)
NYX Barely There Eyeshadow (I use it as a highlight... it's gorgeous!)
ELF Peachy Keen Blush

EYES:
UDPP 
Stila Bronze Smudge Pot
Hard Candy Intergalactic Eyeshadow
MAC Soft Brown Eyeshadow
MAC Carbon Eyeshadow
MAC Gesso Eyeshadow
Wet 'n' Wild Black Cream Eyeliner
Covergirl Lashblast 

 LIPS:
NYX Natural Lipliner
MAC C-Thru Lipglass

I took SO many pictures and only ended up liking two of them, go figure. But I hope you guys enjoyed my first ever FOTD. I probably won't be doing this again for a little while because of the camera issue but I must admit... I really liked this :)  Please give me feed back and let me know what you think!

I got this award from a fellow blogger, Sophie-Lou-J...!  She is too sweet definitely check her out!



The rules of this award are :

State 5 Random facts about yourself and tag 5 bloggers!
Things about me...

1. I'm half Chinese and half Korean.  With that I guess I'll tie in the languages I speak which are Chinese, a little bit of Korean, Spanish, and the obvious, English  :)

2. I have four piercings and one tattoo but that's still not enough for me LOL. It's true what they say...tattoos are addicting even if they hurt!

3. I usually don't drink anything when I'm eating a meal. I get scolded all the time but it just feels weird to.

4. I don't like sushi! I recently went to my first sushi bar and though I only had the California Rolls I still felt kind of disgusted. I don't even like fish but if I did I would like it to be cooked  :)

5. I love coffee. Whether it's Starbucks or home made I don't care, just give me my coffee LOL. I will be needing it for my future job as I will be studying to become a nurse. Talk about long hours...

An Everything Ramble

Hi beauties. I just wanted to chit chat a little about my blog and other things as well.

First I want to thank all my new followers and a personal thank you to KelliKelso for putting me on her blog roll. I love her blog and I highly recommend everyone check it out!  I appreciate it so much girly thank you  :)

Next thing is blog posts. I know I have been doing a lot of reviews/overviews and I really enjoy doing them and will continue to. However, I want to start FOTDs (face of the day) and even OOTDs (outfit of the day). The only reason why I haven't yet is because my camera SUCKS. I have a hard time even getting pictures of the products to be clear because my cam is old school. I plan on getting a new one very soon so I am super excited and I hope you all are looking forward to that too :)

On another subject... things in my life right now are not so great. I won't share too much but lets just say I haven't gone a day without crying so Lashblast's Waterproof Mascara is a necessity. I'm trying to keep busy throughout the day and I really love finding the time to work on my blog. It gives me something to do and I really want to thank you guys for reading! It keeps me inspired so X's and O's to all of you!

Sorry if this was a snooze fest LOL I just wanted to get some things off my mind. Oh and expect my next post to be a haul. Some people sleep when they're emocional, some people eat, and some people, like me, shop.
