DA And Other Updates

So I'll be selling my charms through Deviantart, and because of that I've been revamping my DA page. Got it done a lot faster than I thought I would. I even made some of my photos available as prints. Figured it doesn't cost me anything so why not. I'm actually not completely done. I still need to hire someone to do a final draft of my logo so I can upload that and to shiznitz with it.

As for my other updates. I added another item to my 'to sell' list and my room is back to being semi messy. When I start working it starts getting messy. I'll probably clean it up tonight.

Well thats all. No other updates from me. None that I can think of at least.

So Many Ideas

So a while before I got into my slump, craft/baking wise, I started to get into steampunk and aviator things. Well my mom has recently gotten me into it again and has really been pushing me to make more things. She comes into my room at random times going 'have you worked on anything yet?' Its kinda funny actually. And for you who know my mom knows just how she says it. Since I've also been packing things up in my room and moving things around so I have more room I'm starting to feel ready to get back to business. Literally. Its been so long since I've worked on anything and sold anything. I've been in a slump since before the end of my senior year. Not sure why either. Soooo I plan to go out get some new supplies and start working like crazy. Once I start to get a nice little inventory of things I'll be making business cards... actually I may do that first since, well, I just feel like it lol Steampunk/aviator wise though I wont be selling anything till early/mid summer at the earliest. Those things take more planning and time to make.

But OMC (oh-my-cow duh!)I have so many ideas in my head that its actually been keeping me up at night this past week. I know, I should just draw/write all my ideas down, but when I do that I just get mad since I have no drawing skills. I'm so excited though. Hell, I'm gonna try and draw out some of my designs right now anyways! Even gonna get some ideas for a business card too! I'm so excited I could just dance... just dance.. erg, curse you John R for always singing that at work lol

Oh yeah, added some songs to my play list for you peeps. and myself.

First YouTube Vid

I finally made my first YT vid about the MAC Hello Kitty makeup I got. Took me a week just to upload it and I forgot to add in a few things. Oh well. I was super nervous. But yeah I love what I got. Really wish I could have gotten more. And since it was a limited edition I'll probably never be able to get it again (T^T)

I was really sick today, had to miss work, but already I'm feeling better. Been playing Empires 2 all day. I knew I had a bunch of old comp games. Also played Zoo Tycoon but got bored with that withing half an hour. But I'm actually already bored with empires so I'm back on the hunt for my Sims games. I can only find one of my expansions. I wonder if I gave it away and forgot. Oh well.

Yay Hello Kitty!

So I just finished placing my order for the MAC Hello Kitty makeup. I ordered 2 lipsticks, 1 lip gloss, and a purse mirror in the shape of Hello Kitty's head X3 I spent more than I wanted but just by a little cuz if you spend X amount you get free shipping so I figured 'what they hey' lol I'm so excited though, this was seriously my only reason to get up today. For cereal guys, I'm totally cereal. I just wish I could have ordered one of everything but that would have cost me over $300. Yeah I need to save up for a car still DX What really sucks is that this is a limited collection so once I do have the money I wont be able to get it anymore (T^T) Oh well, now I'm just waiting for it to arrive. And when it does I plan to make a vid of it and it will be my first youtube vid. Yeah I know I'm way over due for that.

On another note I just want to say happy belated birth day to Tot. Sorry I wasn't able to say it sooner.

Mascara Review

So got myself to start cleaning my room. Of course I start with makeup (>_<) Picked up one of my mascaras and said 'why haven't I thrown you out?' so guessed I might as well do a review.

Mascara So all my friends have heard my complain about my lashes. Cuz of my eye shape my lower lid is always rubbing my top lid/lashes, and my lashes are always going into my eyes. So I need the SUPER mascara. One that one clump, smudge/water proof, extends and separates. In the past 4 years I've tried over 7 kinda, but only gonna talk about the ones I used frequently.
~Cover Girl Lash Exact (very black) Easy to apply and it did get every lash, even the really small ones in the inner eye corner. Even separated. But didn't really lengthen or add volume. Worst of all, flacked like crazy so I had to always be wiping my lower lid.
~Maybeline Great Lash (Royal Blue, Brown) Okay, now this is rated one of the top 5 mascaras for the everyday girl by like every magazine. Before I got my 2 newest mascaras this was my fav. It went on super smooth and separated my lashes. Again didn't really add length or volume but super pigmented. Only downfall was that it smudged. No girl looks good with raccoon eyes.
~L'oreal Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Technology (Blackest Black) I loooove this stuff. Doesn't add volume, fine with me, but lengthens like crazy. I put this on and you can actually tell I have lashes! Doesn't flake, smudge, and is tear proof yet is removed by water. What I like about how its removed is that it doesn't smear when being removed it kinda clumps together. Last ALL day and doesn't bother my sensitive eyes. But there are a few things I don't like about it. There are 2 steps, and you have to be quick with the second one. Once this stuff dries you can't add another coat or it'll clump, and it doesn't separate very well. Also when I look in my 5x mirror you don't see any of the white of the first step but when I look in a normal mirror I can see some white. Others tell me they didn't see but yeah. But still one of my favs.
~Spin Lash (black) So its not a well known one. But gotta tell you about it. The brush actually spins. Now you may be thinking 'oh so what' well it matters. It separates EVERY lash. At first I didn't use the mascara it came with, just used it as a brush to separate before putting on mascara. But since I'm doing this I decided to try the mascara it came with. It barely adds to your lashes but is really flexible and looks really natural. But guess what, I've only had it one for about 10min and its already smearing on both my lower and upper lid. I may just use the brush and the Double extend 2nd step. I've used just the second step and works the same, just not quite the length. In fact I'm gonna do that right now so brb. Baaack. Yeah didn't go to well. The Spin Lash brush is to big, so only the tip of it got any product on it. Thought about removing the rubber ring on the inside, but that wouldn't work cuz thats what scrapes off the extra product. So now I'm sad.

Oh well. Only a week till the MAC Hello Kitty line comes out.

Super Bowl Sunday!!!.... Yeah. No

So my day started off bad cuz I had my alarm set for 7pm instead of am. So I was late for work by like 40min. Didn't get in trouble or anything cuz they were all caught up. But within an hour of getting there it got crazy cuz everyone was wanting to get stuff before the game started. Honestly I hate football. I mean, I couldn't tell you who's playing and what time it started.

Anywaaaays since my day started off bad I decided to pamper myself a bit when I got home. Pulled out the old foot massager/soaker and used it while chatting it up with friends on msn. Well totally forgot to pay attention to time so I was in there for over an hour and my feet looked like they belonged to a super old person. Eeewwww. But yeah now they're really soft and smell like blackberries. Even ask my mom XD Then I started to do my nails. Nothing fancy or anything but just a little spit shine kinda thing, but gave up before the last step.

So now I'm procrastinating (long word lol) on cleaning my room. It really needs it. Oh and I finally found a new purse to use. It's a simple black Coach knock off. I've also decided to wait on getting a car cuz theres some clothes and makeup I really want to get. Yup. Thats it.

One last thing. I haven't posted any new tips or review kinda things soooo I plan on doing that tomorrow. er today... yeah.
