"The One Thing I Hate About Fake Eyelashes is... that They're Not Real..."

So Becks showed me this video the other day:


I DIED of laughter and proceeded to watch most of her other videos....

Here are my favorites!:

...this one is the BEST one... AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I've watched it 5 times and I'm still laughing...

She talks about Harry Potter... enough said!

I am shocked she hasn't gone completely viral since she's been featured on Perez Hilton's fashion blog, Coco Perez... woman is HILARIOUS! The fact that she incorporates make up in her parodies just kills me.

Enjoy :D

Nails, Swatches, and Pictures, OH MY!

How was your weekend, my lovely chicas?? My weekend was pretty wonderful. This picture basically explains why my weekend was so great:

Hahahahaha. Oh yes, this is the stud muffin, Philip from a previous post... with a funny face and shot glasses on his head. Did I ever mention I have the BEST friends?! But I'll save the pictures of my life for later on in the post.

I mentioned before that I had a little China Glaze haul and I've been painting my nails random colors lately. Here's the product of Thursday night:

Sexy in the City

This color reminds me of the mermaid color that Sephora had on their website for a while. It's got subtle green undertones that you can't see in the picture. It's so nice and shiny. My thoughts on China Glaze so far is pretty freakin' rad. I haven't had any chipping what so ever and the colors come out very nice. I ususally do two coats to get an even color :)

I also forgot to mention this little thing when I did my post on my Revlon haul! My bad.

Revlon Color Stay Pallete in Saultry Smokey

So far I've only played with the colors. I realized that the picture doesn't really show that the last color is a very light Lavender. So far, that one is my favorite. I really have no effin' clue how to apply eyeshadow ( I'm such a N00b) but chyeah. I've tried a few things out and I look like a freak of nature with colored eyelids. Hahahaha. My friend Monica used to do my make up before I went out when I lived in Connecticut (for all of 6 months, fail). So hopefully one day I'll master the skills of eyelid art and show you guys how great this pallet is.

So this past week was one of my best friends birthday! (see post below haha) And to say the least we had to throw a party since it was her big 21st. I'm sure I totally bore you guys with my life but my friends are such a big part of me and this blog is intended to document my beauty habits and my life events, so I figure I'd share a few pictures with y'all. If you want more, friend me on Facebook! My badge is to the right... please let me know if that link allows you to friend me. My privacy settings on my FB are so complicated I confuse myself sometimes.

One of my favorite pictures from the night. Classic Joel face. Why must he be so tan! Amanda creeping in the back!


Amanda and Daniel. They've known each other since like 5th Grade... and I think they're secretly best friends, they just don't want to admit it to each other.


This is me with my friend Sean. I look awful in this pic, but I wanted to show you guys Sean. Cori and I call him Jacob Black ahahha. He looked a lot more like Jacob with his old long hair but now he's Wolf Pack Jacob with his short hair. Amanda kept going on and on about how he and his brothers, and our friends (who are also brothers) compose the Wolf Pack... I love drunk Amanda!

My big bro, Avo and me. My picture taking skills were so sloppy at this point, but I love Avo's God pose hahaha. No, he's not really my brother by birth, but we might as well be family.

I love the Birthday Girl, Cori, to pieces <3. Sorry for the blurriness but Cori and I agreed that it's very metaphorical to how the night was... a blur but totally fun.

We are thicker then blood, we are a bit more than friends, we are family <3

---

So I haven't hauled much since I'm trying to save up a bit, but I did buy a few clothes that I've been meaning to show you girls so that'll definatly be next post! I am by NO means a fashionista and I have a hard time picking out clothes that fit me right, but when I do I snatch that up!

Hope everyone is doing well :)

Happy Birthday + Random You Tube Video

I want to wish my LOVELY WONDERFUL BESTIE, CORI a...

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO THE AWESOMEST CHICA AMORFACE EVERRRRRR!
An old picture of us from the best summer ever.


Yeah, I get really excited about my girl's birthdays especially the big 21. Yes, I'm totally obnoxious and feel the need to announce it to the world that my friends are born on their birthday, I apologize. Just a nice and short post today. Gym in the mornin' then hopefully getting a new cell phone!

Thanks to everyone that responded to my last post about the hair straightener situation :)

I end this post with one of Cori and I's favorite youtube video. WARNING: NSFW! His name is Bo Burnham and he's a comedian and one of the most offensive and hilarious people I've ever watched! Please don't watch if you're easily offended. I've got a totally twisted sense of humor. You'll see what I mean after you watch this.

p.s. I'm a geek and actually did the math to see how many years it'd be statutory rape... hahaha >.<
His CD and DVD is available at Target for $9.99!

Enjoy, blogger chicas!

Boys Boys Boys, I like Boys in Cars

Donna suggested that I do a food post since I haven't done one since... my first post! Although I haven't bought anything that I think everyone should go out and try, I do bake a whole lot so expect some cupcake recipes coming up. I like to bake when I get really stressed or am going through some difficult times. I know my friend Cori said I was like Izzie from Grey's Anatomy (one of my favorite shows!) I went through a 2 week period where I did nothing but bake cupcakes, cookies, and Angel Food cake and to say the least my friends and family totally reaped the benefits. I've decided the first recipe:

Mocha Cupcakes with home made Cream Cheese Frosting

Should be up in about 2 weeks since I have finals and junk next week.

So anyone that has ever driven with me or seen me driving knows that I love jamming out in my car. I'm that person that has their windows rolled down (and back in the day, sun roof opened), arm out the window, blasting their music so loud that the glass is vibrating. This is only in the summer time because I love summers in Maryland (most of the time). It's usually a nice breeze, bright sun, and perfect "jam" weather. I have a very specific Jam playlist for this summer and I just wanted to share it with you girlies.

My iPod who's backlight no longer functions...but I can't live without.

1. Boys Boys Boys - Lady Gaga
This is just an upbeat song that I'm totally in love with. I start shaking my hips and before you know it I'm in a full jam out session. Every time she says "We like boys in cars..." I automatically think of the Challenger. It's so sad that I'm starting to become obsessed about a car. Her whole album is awesome. It's got a little bit of everything: slow songs, pop songs, dance songs.

2. You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
This is my country/pop jam of the summer. I used to listen to Taylor occasionally but ever since I started hanging out with my friend who's obsessed with her... I haven't stopped listening to her especially this song. I mean... who can't relate to this song? A girl that has a crush on a boy who doesn't notice that she's the best thing for him... sigh. I'm totally the girl in sneakers. Taylor, why must you be so catchy.

3. Jump - Flo Rida feat. Nelly Furtado
"When I say jump you say how high?" The beat is just awesome. 'Nough said.

4. Touch Me - Flo Rida
The computerized intro to this song catches your attention and then you're just hooked!

5. Weightless- All Time Low
All Time Low is a local band that I've been listening to/following since my freshman year of high school. Some of you may recognize them from MTV =) I'm glad they've grown to be so popular. Weightless is one of their new songs for their much anticipated CD due out in July! This song describes my mood for this summer exactly. "This my reaction. To everything I fear. I've been going crazy I don't want to waste another minute here." *cue head bang!* I blast this song all the time when I drive to school and it just puts me in the zone.

6. Fat Bottomed Girls- Queen
It's Queen. No explanation needed.

7. Wonderwall - Oasis
This is such a beautiful but mellow song that's just about love. Just take a listen to the lyrics.

8. Hello Seattle - Owel City
If you like bands like HelloGoodbye or Plushgun. I think Owl City is right up your ally. It's very poppy and electronica sounds but adorable!

9. Baby One More Time... - Britney Spears
That's right! I went old school! I've played this song twice while driving with my friend and we had a grand old time. It's always fun jamming out to old songs and reminiscing.

10. New Soul - Yael Naim
Many of you know this song from the Apple commercials and honestly, Apple knows what's up when it comes to music, I can't even lie. They've featured some of my favorite bands on there Ads =)

11. Chokechain! - 3OH!3
They've gotten hugely popular since their single "Don't Trust Me" released on the radio but this is by far my favorite song by them. "Nice legs, daisy dukes, makes a man go..."

12. Summer Hair = Forever Young - The Academy Is...
The title explains it all.

13. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
Girl anthem much?

14. That's Not My Name - Ting Tings
I will be the first to admit that this song bugged the HELL out of me when I first heard it but it grew on me... now when I walk to class I find myself shaking my shoulders, singing "They call me Hell! They call me Stacy!" in my head. Yes, I occasionally get questionable looks.

15. Wannabe - Spice Girls
Don't even try to lie and say you don't know the lyrics to this song!

16. Single Ladies - Beyonce
Yes, this song is over played. Yes, the dance videos of this song on you tube are priceless (especially the Joe Jonas one...) Yes, if you like it then you better put a ring on it!

17. I'm on a Boat - The Lonely Island feat. T-Pain
"I got my swim trunks... and my flippy floppies." Another viral video, but for some reason I always have fun blasting this song and rapping the Adam Samberg parts with Daniel.

18. Bust a Move - Young MC
Old rap song = eternal love. Snap your fingers, thrust your hips. "She's dressed in yellow, she says hello. Come sit next to me, you fine fellow. You run over there without a second to lose. And what comes next? You bust a move!"

19. Sugar - Flo Rida
How can you not like a song with a clip from the 90s hit Eiffel 65 "Blue." ( I can still recite most of the lines to that song... damn catchy Italians!) Puts his Flo Rida touch on a classic 90s dance song.

20. The Beach - All Time Low
I'm sorry, but I have to pay homage to my favorite hometown boys. This is the perfect ending to a summer or summer playlist. "They can take take take the kids from the summer, but they'll never never never take the summer from me. It was the very first time I lost my mind for a week. They can make make make me forget the weather, if I never never never wash the sand from my feet. It was the very last time we said good bye to the beach. Showing off our teeth." They basically take the words straight from my mouth. Plus, the guitar riffs allow enough time to insert a dance party.

My playlists are usually 100+ songs but I figure I'd keep it to 20. =) Everyone has different music tastes and I totally appreciate that. I love listening to everything and I mean everything. I listen to indie, folk, oldies, post rock, rap, r&b, techno... If you have any music suggestions let me know! I love adding new songs to my iPod.

"Did you know 'this' and 'shit' have the same letters in them?"

Do you have a major case of the Mondays? (Office Space reference!) I know I did, especially with all this studying.
This past weekend Christine and I went out shopping and here are a few pics from Saturday.
Here's Christine in her Oliver Peoples sunglasses she fell in love with at Off Sak's Fifth Ave.

Haha. I'm a sweater knit me! The same glasses that Christine fell in love with but in tortoise shell! I'm in a desperate need for tortoise shell sunglasses since I have my black Ray-Bans already =(
Here are a pair of sexy Betsyville by Betsy Johnson shoes I totally fell in love with. The bottoms of the shoes were sparkly hot pink! They were $149 and uber high, but so hot. Please ignore my toes and my Rainbows haha. Christine told me to take a picture in the shoes =)

Some silly, but adorable glasses that make me look like effin' Yoko Ono or something.

As I mentioned I got some new stuff from Mac and just wanted to let you guys know what I thought of it.
Left to Right: Lipglass in Florabundance, Plushlash in Plushblack, Lipstick in Honeylove (Matte)

Let's start with the mascara. Plushlash is my new favorite mascara! While I'm still contemplating the Givenchy, I will definitely be using this for the next 3 months. I love this mascara so much that I actually want to use it every day! Here's the breakdown of what I have to say about it:
1. It holds a curl
2. ITS ONLY $12!
3. It doesn't flake or clump!!
4. It does great on volumizing my lashes and it even lengthens a little bit
5. DID I MENTION IT'S ONLY $12?!
This was a recommendation from Christine (Closet Rebel) and boy am I glad I got it. I actually like this mascara much more then Fresh's Supernova and Benefit's Bad Gal. I know I raved about Supernova, but over time the mascara would start to flake and I'd get 'coon eyes (and we all know how attractive that is!). I do not have any flaking with Plushlash and the fact that it holds a curl on my lashes is amazing!

Here's a look at the wand.
Here's a picture of my lashes without mascara (click to enlarge =) ) I have typical Asian lashes that point down and are very short.
With Plushlash! I don't know about you but I'm shocked at the difference.

So I finally got my first lipstick! I've always been weary about lipstick because I see that it dries out lips and I HATE having dry lips. But I instantly fell in love with this color and had to get it.

Mac lipstick in Honeylove.

Words cannot express how much I love this lipstick and I found it on a total accident. Christine tried on this adorable pale pink Shu Uemura lipstick while we were at Nordstroms and I asked the SA if Mac had something similar and she showed me this. While it's not a pale pink, it gives me the perfect nude-ish lip in my opinion. Like I've said before, I've never really liked colors such as Hue or Creme d'nude on me and I have no idea why. But no worries because now I have Honeylove! At the counter this may look a little too beige, but once you see it in the light you see the rosey colors. It's a Matte finish which I adore because I hate when my lips are far too shiny.
Here are my lips with nothing but Palmer's Cocoa butter on them to moisturize so my lips don't dry out.
Here are my lips again just with a flash to see the difference. They're pink... just like most lips haha. Nothing too speical.

Sorry this picture is a little dark but the one with flash didn't come out too well. This is with Honeylove on. The color of my lips are muted but not too much and they still look a little pink. The second picture is just with another layer of it on.

Tada!

Here's a swatch of Honeylove and Florabundance on my hand. My arm is a bit tanner then my face (I hang my arm out my window when I drive so I'm brown on one arm and caramel on the other... FML) so it doesn't really do much justice but you get the point =)

So I tried on NARS Turkish Delight once and totally fell in love with it but I couldn't stand the price tag. I mentioned this to Christine and she said that I should try either Underage or Florabundance. I can't remember why Underage didn't work out for me all I know is that I tried it on and looked in the mirror and Christine and I both shook our heads. Florabundace on the other hand was just perfect. I guess I'm a sucker for those peachy colors.

Top: Florabundance with no flash Bottom: Florabundance with flash

Here I layered Florabundance on top of Honeylove and it made a very nice pale pink color. Again, top without flash, bottom with flash.

On a totally random side note! I went to the car dealership with my friend Tony today after class because he's planning on getting a new car. He's totally in love with this car:

2008 Dodge Charger SRT8.

I am by no means a car buff, but after hearing Tony go on about this car for the past couple of days, I think I have two words that sum up this car. "Vroom, Vroom!" They have one in the show room at the dealer we went to and the guy who owned it previously, traded it in because his wife said it was too fast. The engine is a monster and the inside is huge and I'm pretty sure you can fit 3 bodies in the trunk. I think we spent a good 30 minutes just gazing at the car and sitting in it. Before we went into the show room though, Tony pointed out the Dodge Challenger and I had no idea what it was so we walked over to it. I am not a big fan of American cars but I instantly fell in love with this:

2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8

As Tony would put it: *drool*!!!! It's a completely modernized muscle car. I wanted to see the SRT8 version but they only open it for serious buyers but they did open up the R/T version and it was amazing. While I never see myself buying this car... well never say never haha... but it's just so hot. I think we're heading back tomorrow to test drive the Dodge Charger RT (a step down from the SRT8) because Tony decided that he doesn't need such a high performance car... if I don't survive please know that I love you all.

Until next time, lovers.

EEP!

Ok. I love getting new products and not having to drop a dime on it. I recently exchanged a few things from my MAC haul for the following:

Mac Lipstick in Honey Love
Mac Lipglass in Florabundance
Mac Plushlash

I can't wait to try these all out! I'm way excited for Honey Love though because I tried it on in store and instantly fell in love with it. I love the nude lip and think some ladies can pull it off flawlessly ... cough cough christine... cough cough. But colors like Hue and Creme d' nude always made me feel a little out of place with my nude lip. I could never put my finger on it though, but Honey Love is a whole different story!

Christine and I went to CCO yesterday and browsed. We didn't get anything (shocker I know!) but it's nice to know we have one around and we can go browse when we feel like it. I did like a few lipsticks that I saw there but nothing that really stuck out with me.

Sigh. I also returned some stuff at Sephora for store credit but now I'm at a lost to what to spend it on. I totally fell in love with Mac's mineralized blush in Gleeful and I found something by Laura Geller that's similar, but I'm a bit skeptical.

So, I'm heading to the beaches of North Carolina for my fourth of July weekend with the boyfriend and his family this coming Thursday and I'm way excited. It'll be nice to just sit back, enjoy the beach, expierence the "South", and see a beach other then Ocean City.

Speaking of Gleeful, is anyone other then me TOTALLY excited for the new show on Fox called Glee to begin it's full season?!!?
