Extending the life of false lashes

Whether or not you just like the full voluptuous effects of false lashes or the added length it portrays, or even just bits and pieces at the outer corner that really makes a difference, false lashes are sweeping the.. well.. just about everything!

False lashes ranges from different sizes and shapes and to the dramatic effect and natural look. It has really revolutionized the cosmetic industry within the past decade or so (Give or take a few years. Going by my own knowledge here, I may be wrong! lol) If you're like me, then you love love love it. 

I prefer the natural appearance. I've only messed around with a few or so sets from Ardell. 

Unfortunately, some of us don't have the $100's+ to spend on a week to week basis trying to establish the length and flutter that some of the stars are able to spend. 

The nuisance of continuously buying and buying repeatedly is also quite hectic. 

*Here are my tips for cleaning and prolonging your false lashes!

1.) Regular rubbing alcohol.

2.) Q tips

3.) An empty spray bottle. (Recycling is good so if you have some old spray bottle, clean it and use it!)

*Instructions. 

1.) Take the empty spray bottle.

- Fill it in with 2/3's water

- fill in the rest w/ the rubbing alcohol. 

2.) Mascara residue and lash glue leaves a yucky residue! 

3.) Place it on the curvature your index finger. 

      You're using this as the liner. Your finger has a natural curve and placing the lashes on it while you clean it will help keep the arch in tact. 

 

4.) Spray 3x directly onto lashes

5.) Using the Q-tip, gently wipe back and forth. 

6.) Use the opposite side of the q-tip and dry. Don't forget to shape!

Clean lashes..! Ready to use.

I'm Officially all better

Ah it's been sucky, sickly, week for me. I lost my voice for about three good ol' days sounding like a man.. not that anything is wrong with sounding like a guy or anything. But thank-thank goodness I am all better just in the nic of time for my test tomorrow!! :D

It's been so long since I've used my brain this much. Literally stressing on studying for the math portion of the test Im going to be doing tomorrow. I hope I pass. 85% Can't be all that hard to get.. What is that? Like a B+.. Oh man, am I stress. But Im glad and proud of myself for studying, thanks to the love of my life for helping me with the strenuous Math that I wonder oh so much why on the face of the planet was made in the first place. >\

So now I have no reason to stray away from the subject of makeup. Yes Ill be back but not very promising, Im sure. Some tutorials are on the way and Im returning on the routine of recording my makeup rituals.. Just like riding a bike, I have to get used to it. Finding a good camera angle and view is always difficult, although Im sure I found a place I've gotten used to already. So thats all the useless rambling Im going to be doing. I have no idea who read that all, but thanks. lol..

Being sick freakin sucks. I've been sick for about 2 days now but I am much better than I was last night. My temperature was up there and I wasn't feeling good at all. Sleeping was such a hassle too. I couldn't sleep! After continuous attempts I have to say that I probably fell asleep around 4am.. if you can call it sleep. I woke up so many times during the night sometimes freezing, other times sweating, not only that but my dream was so awkward. Is it just me or do others also have the weirdest dreams during illnesses?

Well I hope I feel better and soon.

Valentines Day!

SO MUCH FUN!

Me and babester fooling around photowhorring!

Man, he's the sweetest!
Story: Valentines Day morning while I was getting ready, my door bell rang. When I answered it was my boyfriend. He stayed for like five minutes and while I was doing my makeup, he said he had to leave and he'll come back later. Obviously he knows me too much because when I'm doing my makeup, I don't walk him down the stairs and out the house.. SO he left.

Probably two hours later when my parents came home, my dad knocked on my door and said, "what's with the stuff downstairs?" I was totally utterly clueless! So I ran down the stairs and there's the stuff in my living room. Apparently, he left it there to surprise me just before he left my house! I totally thought he wasn't going to get me anything because he couldn't. Funniest thing was my Mom thought it was for her from my Dad. Lol, poor mamma!

My bear looking scary-fied!

We ate at Texas Road House. It was a quadrupel date! Since my babe was the only one who's 21, he ordered his first cocktail drink. He shared it around though, lol. He ordered two drinks and we shared it around while the waitress wasnt looking. I honestly had a blast. It was so much fun! Fun times . Fun times. Hope you all had a fantastic Valentine Day! Happy Weekend yallz!

Hey Gals and maybe Guys. My weekend was pretty good. We headed to Arden Fair Mall up in Sacramento. I never get sick of that mall! I brought along my camera but stupid ass me didnt take any pics. It was b/ I didnt want to seem like a photowhore or a tourist because I'm not!



Well I did take some pics earlier that Friday, so a few face poses from me as well as others.



I got the job at Taco Bell! Before you think how stupid I am for being excited about getting hired at a fast food restaurant LET ME TELL YOU that I've been looking for a job for hecka long. I don't care. I just want and need money right now for personal girl reasons. So the point is I need to be doing something besides staying home and/or asking my parents for money when I want stuff.

my cousin Chris in the back, and I

I had to sneak a snapshot of my hun. Lol.

I started wearing contacts again because I have no idea where I put my glasses. Besides, glasses are a nuisance. Maybe I'll go back to contacts for good.. uhhhh nah maybe not. Switching on and off sounds better, dont it.

A close up on my e/s look and my very obvious contacts.
