Random Finds, Formspring, and Giveaway Update

I have been on the search for a new eyelash curler lately and even though I want to try Shu Umuera's legendary curler, I really don't want to pay $25 or whatever it costs because I don't curl my eyelashes everyday. So the other day when I was visiting my sister we stopped at Walgreens (the same day when I got the stuff in my haul ) and she was looking for an eyelash curler as well and she spotted one by Sally Hansen. Except this one was different because it was a double eyelash curler. What? I didn't even know what that was, and it kinda confused me at first :P But then I saw that it had a double bar which curls your lashes in two places at once! That's so cool! But as luck would have it, it was the last one in stock and my sister got it :( So when I got back home I went to my Walgreens and they had it in stock, so I bought it, yay!

See, it has a double bar that curls in two places, instead of having to pinch once, then move it up and pinch again

I love this thing! It doesn't pinch my lids like normal ones do, and it takes less time! The only thing is the handles, without the rings your fingers can slip, so you have to be careful. Other than that, I am sold on this thing! :)

Another random palette I found was at Ross again (I'm such a Ross whore, what can I say, I'm cheap!) but this one was better than the last one I found (click here to see the other one I found).This one came in a nice book style palette with a fake reptile skin and a magnetized closure, which is definitely easier to handle and open and close

This palette is great! All of the colors are gorgeous and have pretty decent pigmentation. They are all shimmery too, I guess I'm stuck with more shimmery shadows again :P They actually blend pretty well too, here is a quick look at one of the colors I wore the other day

I think this was only one layer of color, I didn't have to keep applying more!

I love finding new things! Especially ones that are easy on my wallet :)

Okay, makeup talk aside, I have added a Formspring box at the top of the page on the right hand side, so all of you nosy people feel free to interrogate me on whatever you want :P

And as for the giveaway, I have decided to change the date that it ends. I realized that I only gave like 2 1/2 days to enter, which for those who do not get on the computer everyday, it's not really fair. So the giveaway will end on February 13, 2010 and the winner will be announced on February 14th, Valentine's Day. I hope this doesn't create a problem for anyone, if so, please let me know, and this actually makes it a little easier on me because I'll have more time to prepare the final package and other details. So please bear with me! And for those who have entered and started following my blog, thank you sooo much! I appreciate all the comments and suggestions.:)

Have a good night everyone!

Hi Liana!
I just watched your tutorial on smokey eyes - and I LOVE it!! Omg I love the silver, and all the shadows you used! ... I wanna go out and buy that palette now haha.

I don't have monolid, but I actually like the look of monolid... it looks so Asian lol. I know most ppl who have it don't like it.. but I'm weird I guess lol. I feel like my lids are kinda funky, and make it harder to do makeup?

ju lee: me too! i didn't even know they sold makeup there til recently. most of it is messy and stuff but i always find the ones that haven't been touched yet :P
kechiko: thanks for watching! i actually don't like that vid that much, i could've done better, but thanks! lol, you're right, i wish i had double eyelids, i think it is easier to do smokey eyes and eyeliner, but i guess i gotta just work with what i've got :)
ever: i love both of them! you can't even feel the curler when it's on your lashes! and the palette is soo nice!

purplio: yeah i dont know if they sell it over there, maybe check at your drugstores? that sucks when you can't find the same products that other places have :( good luck! maybe someday we can do a swap or something...:P
allmadeup: yay, i love bargains too! i don't think everything should always cost an arm and a leg to be good quality!
