Yay, I was so excited when I got home and there was a package waiting for me, don't you just love when that happens?
And what was inside, you ask? (lol, you can probably already guess because of the title, but I like to add a little suspense :P)
The new Cover Girl Lashblast Fusion mascara that I had mentioned in my previous post! Yay! I had gone ahead and pre-ordered it on Cover Girl's Facebook pre-sale that they had going on
So here's just a couple things I wanted to ramble about, no particular categoies, hence the name of this post
First off, thank you to everyone for your compliments about my new layout. I really like it! It looks much cleaner and it's way easier to read. It also loads a lot faster too! I was a little hesitant to put my pictures in the banner because I didn't want you guys to think I was being conceited or someting, but at the same time, I'm one of those people who never really feel like they're that pretty most of the time, so when I finally get a good picture I like to show it, kinda as a way of saying, "See? I can be pretty sometimes, I'm not always looking like a bum!" I'm sure some of you have felt the same way :P So thank you again for all your nice comments!
Second, I was at Sally's Beauty Supply and I happened to find this eyelash curler. It's by Tweezerman, the same brand who makes the really good tweezers.
Anyways, it's called like a super deluxe curler or something and you're supposed to heat it with your hair dryer for a couple seconds to make your lashes curl better and last longer. I tried it out without heating it and surprisingly it seems to work pretty well on my lashes! As you all know I have the typical sparse, stick straight lashes and this does a pretty good job. Obviously my lashes are not going to curl as well as other non Asian people's lashes, but for what I have it works pretty well. Haha, it kinda looks like a torture device, no wonder guys are so confused about girls' makeup and tools!
And lastly, I was given this award by Irene. Thank you so much Irene, this award is so cute! You guys should check out her blog, it's so cute and she's gorgeous! Thanks again! ;)
I know I'm supposed to tag some people but I'm really tired now, so I tag everyone! Feel free to post this on your own blogs! Oh, and for those of you who tagged me for the "My own cosmetics line" tag, don't worry I'll get around to it, I am actually having a hard time thinking of what I would do! :P
I'm off to do a tutorial, I will be posting it in a litle bit. Stay tuned!
P.s. Oh I have a question which might be kinda stupid but just humor me-I'm trying to re-organize my posts with different categories and tags, am I supposed to use the same names for the categories and tags? For example, if I label the category 'tutorial' do i use the same name for the tag? And when people use the search bar to look for certain items, is the word they type in gonna pop up related posts according to the catogory or tag? I'm so confused...please help?
*Update: Okay I am almost done re-filing my posts, but to be honest I have a feeling I am making it even more confusing for myself. Oh well, I'm not gonna go back and redo it again! Some of my posts are now in different places now and since I started from my most recent posts and went backwards, some of my older posts are now showing up as more recent ones, just to let you know if you were looking for a recent post....:P
So I am not sure of the exact date that this launched, but all I know is that it came out recently (this year) and that I just discovered it at CVS.
What does this concealer remind you of? (In case you can't think of it, it's very reminiscent of YSL's Touche Eclat Concealer)
I love the gold packaging!
Here is a description of the concealer, taken from the Milani website:
"HD Advanced Concealer click pen covers imperfections, dark circles, with a weightless, good-for-your-skin liquid formula that leaves a natural finish as it brightens with a soft focus for flawless skin." The shade I got was Medium Honey, which is beige with yellow undertones You click here to dispense the product which flows down through the tube and onto the brush. The first time will take a couple of clicks to get it flowing, but after it usually only takes about two clicks. I really like this pen concealer! I haven't used the YSL one so I can't compare the two, but from the reviews I've read, this one comes pretty close to it. The concealer glides on smoothly and blends in easily without enhancing any fine lines or dryness. I wouldn't say the coverage is full enough to hide major imperfections, but it does hide redness around the nose, under eye circles, and gives the skin a subtle illuminating glow. The formula is long wearing and I didn't find that I had to do any touch ups throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this product, especially if you don't want to spend about 5 times more for the YSL! You can buy this at CVS, Walgreens, or any other major drugstore for about $6.99-$7.99. It comes in four shades: Light, Medium, Medium Beige, and Medium Honey Rating: 4.5/5 Pros: good coverage, blends well, inexpensive, gives a nice, soft glow Cons: Takes awhile for the product to dispense and sometimes too much can come out, don't like the brush for blending, also, limited shades Would I repurchase? Definitely! Note: you know the drill, this was paid for me with my own money...just because it works for me doesn't mean it will work for you and vice versa...use your own judgement...blah, blah, blah... :P
You guys are probably sick to death of me changing my blog layout every 5 seconds, I'm sorry! It's just that I can be extremely picky when it comes to certain things, and my layout is one of them. For one thing, I noticed it tends to take awhile to load sometimes, so I'm trying to simplify a few things, and second, even though I liked the last layout, I kinda just threw it together after my last one got deleted, so I wanted to take a little more time with this one. I think I will finally have it the way I want it, but just please bear with me once more, I promise this will be the last time! So if you see it acting weird or things disappearing, don't worry, it's not your computer freaking out :P
Thanks!
