back at home

AND SWELTERING MY GUTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE need OUR AC FIXED!!
This is SO dramatic.

*sigh*
seeing that I can't control the weather I shouldn't complain.

The entire flight I read 2 magazines, (Harper's Bazaar and InStyle). Combat Blue is in...mascaras? Hmm.
But I DID read in InStyle that if you just do black (Brown may look more fabulous) then blue on the tips.
All the blue mascaras they recommended were like, $20.00. But you can get the CoverGirl Exact Eyelights mascara in the one for blue eyes and its like blue. LOL. Plus its only about $7.00

maybelline superstay silky foundation: does it really stay put?

After buying the Covergirl Trublend and being thoroughly disappointed with the lack of coverage, greasy residue on your face and strange oily shine, I started watching reviews on the product.
Every person I watched had negative feelings towards it. Good thing it was only about $5.

The only good thing about the Covergirl Trublend Liquid Foundation was the color options. But whats the point of a perfect match with next-to-nothing coverage?


A few days later I was in the local drugstore and I came acrost a small display advertising a Maybelline foundation. I forgot what the foundation was called but It was similar to the product I have now.

A week later and tones of reaserch later, I bought the Maybeline Superstay Silky Foundation in the lightest shade.
I was skeptical, how could this stuff really stay put the entire day without transferring? Beats me.
This stuff stays. I mean- it holds tight through out the entire ENTIRE day


For example; a few days ago my family and I went hiking up a glacier in Alaska. The wind was so ferice, plastering the trees to the ground and rain pelting on us sideways. Whenever I rubbed my soaking sleeve on my face nothing came off. Expect I do remember a smudge from my chin wiping off but besides that it was all good.
Now that is what I call, super stay.

idk my bff jill

So one of my friends and I are planning on doing an ocean photo shoot type-thingy later in the week.
The sky's are prolly gonna be grey and the light flat, and I don't know what to do for her outfit!!!
Something contrasting to the scenery?
Maybe an umbrella somewhere?
Please post comments on what you think would be cool.
I think her mom's gonna do her makeup cus I totally stink at that kind of stuff. Usually Dana does the makeup cus she is really good at it but Dana won't be with us.
Ummm, so yeah! lol.
The Passover Seder is coming up soon, on Wednesday night actually. Excitement!!! :)

So I am on the CG site right now looking at the new products they have and there pretty cool. Like, bright colors that are totally spring but not neon.

CoverGirl Exact Eyelight Mascara




According to the February 2009 issue of Instyle magazine, "This seasons must-have makeup shades shows up in mascara hues too."
After listing off two other mascaras- one reaching twenty dollars- I was surprised to find out that the new CoverGirl Exact Eyelight Mascara in Black Ruby showed up too.
I had remembered seeing the commercial and automatically wanting a tube of my own, so I was more than pleased to find out this particular shade is the hot new thing.
After checking Fred Myers two times and a local drug store, my mother found a shade of this precious mascara at Wal-Mart. Clearly, the Black Ruby color had been flying off the racks. Either there are many, many people with green eyes (note; one of the most rare eye colors) or this was indeed, in style.
The thing about this mascara is that the 'ruby' isn’t exactly red. It is a aubergine that shimmers softly.
Three more shades exist in the collection, Black Sapphire for blue eyes, Black Pearl for brown and Black Gold for Hazel.
