My Collection!

*REMINDERS*

1. No haters! =] This is not me bragging!

2. I give up a lot to have the makeup that I do!

3. My bathroom is from the 80's. We're re-doing it!

4. I am NOT going through every single little thing!

This is the top of my vanity. 

From left to right:

Hair products, hair clips (Juicy bag) perfumes/lotions, lipstick holder, eye brushes, face brushes, Clarisonic brush, makeup mirror from Sally's. 

Notice, I'm in my pajamas! =]

This is underneath my vanity. My makeup is in the set of drawers on the left, and my hair stuff and random stuff is in the drawers on the right. I'm only going through the makeup drawers! In the middle are my hot rollers from Sally's. I can't remember the brand at the moment!

Here we have foundations, concealers, primers, powders. My 2 buffer brushes are also in here.  I'm aware this drawer is ridiculous. I need to get little separaters but I just got the drawers so that's on pause. Soon though! This works for now. =]

This is my blush drawer. Well, blush + my Bare Minerals + my Fix+. My new Grand Duos are kinda just thrown on top. I should have organized! lol Anyways, we have all MAC and Nars in the container. Then on the left, there are some old Dior blushes. In the back, underneath the Bare Minerals, is my Coastal Scents contour palette. I have a random Clinique blush in there too that I don't really like lol

K last drawer! This is my eye stuff! Back left corner: eyeliner/mascara/eyebrow pencils/shadesticks. I mean, anything skinny. You can pretty much guess what's in there. Underneath that are my Neutral and 88 palettes from Coastal Scents. To right right we have some NYX eyeshadows (bleh) and then I have my MAC palettes. I have 1 empty one, 4 filled with MAC eyeshadows, 1 filled with NYX eyeshadows. On top of that are my Nars eyeshadows (duos and singles). Then in the front left corner, I have little quads and whatnot. I have my UD palettes, a couple of MAC special edition palettes, my Hello Kitty, and I have a Bobbi Brown palette. Th onto the right front corner are my Mineralize eyeshadows and my extra jars. =]

*Sigh* When I lay it out like this, it definitely is a lot. If there's anything you want to see up close, let me know! Like a post on my MAC palettes or brushes. I didn't feel like doing it in this post. I don't know if that would be interesting or not.

*EDIT*

I just realized I forgot to take pictures of the stuff in my 2 drawers! Coming soon!

New Piercing!

Forgive me that I haven't posted my collection pics yet. I think I'm gonna take them next commercial break! hahaha It seems like you guys are into it, so I think I'll give it a go! =]

Onto the reason I haven't put up pictures yet...

New lip piercing! =] I ♥ it

Excuse the following:

1. No lipstick -- couldn't wear any.

2. The redness around my nose -- I have a cold.

3. My dork of a brother in the back. =]

4. Crappy hair -- I woke up late hahah

We were on our way to a family party lol

I'm definitely into piercings and tattoos. I got my first tattoo this summer and, outside of the typical ear piercings, I've had my nose pierced. (I took it out cause it got annoying lol) But I definitely want more tattoos (2 on each side of my pelvis) and I still want my belly button pierced. I'm not about to cover my body, but I like them in general. On others and the little things on myself. I like the little bit of rebel in me. =] (Needless to say, my father does not lol)

But yes. That's all for now -- I'm thoroughly exhausted. I got 5 hours of sleep last night. Post-piercing excitement prevented me from sleeping. And the fact I was starving and unable to eat right away. Well, anything besides ice cream lol

How do you feel about piercings/tattoos? Do you have any? I would love to see pics and/or hear about them!

Opinions On Collections?

What is your opinion of people showing their collection of makeup? Do you like it or do you consider it bragging? Can't stand it? Let me know. 

I was going to take a picture of my new storage, but I wanted opinions first. It is never my intention to brag. I kinda just wanted to see where people stood on this. 

I see collection videos all the time, and I honestly love them. I love seeing what people have. What they like, what they hate -- saves me money. See new ways to organize, seeing as that's my biggest issue. Too much stuff, not enough space.  

I just got these and I LOVE them so far. I have 3 stacked on top of each other, and I bought the wheels that attach at the bottom. I got 6 drawers total. 3 for makeup and 3 for hair stuff so now I can actually see my vanity! lol My stuff was stacking so high I almost couldn't see myself in the mirror anymore. I got these at The Container Store. This place is a neat freak's heaven. (Yes, I'm a neat freak!)

I also got...

A LIPSTICK HOLDER!!! FINALLY! 

I needed it so badly and I'm so glad I finally found one!

Yay for organizing finally! I can't wait to move out and have more of my own space. Cross your fingers for me that my friend gets a new job soon and into an apartment we'll go! lol

But please leave your opinions about collection videos/pictures in your comment! =]

In and Out 005!

I'm finally back after a wonderful weekend with my fiance! =] It was perfect and much needed. I never got a chance to post because we spent a lot of quality time together. I'm so exhausted I only have time for an In and Out so please forgive me! I know I've been promising to take pics from my CCO haul, but I'm trying really hard to get to that. I've had a lot of homework and now we're rearranging bedrooms in my house so it's a little chaotic right now. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow night I'll get to that!

Here's my dream wedding dress if anyone wants to see! =] 

WHAT'S IN::

1. Wedding Shows =]

2. Brunette MSF (works well when I'm tan)

3. OPI Russian Navy

4. Applying fluidline with an angled brush over my 210

5. YSL's Rouge Lipstick in 148 (Tea Rose) -- it's PERFECT!

6. 4ish months till my 21st birthday!!

7. My hair crimper 

8. All my followers!! Love you guys! =]

WHAT'S OUT::

1. Teachers not posting exam grades

2. Lush products making me break out really bad

3. My fiance leaving...again. =[

4. Having to wait till the semester's over to apply at MAC

5. Seeing Grand Duos and not having them yet! lol

6. Trying to lose weight for Spring Break 

Sorry x A Million!!!

I know I said I would have pictures up by now, but I've been studying like mad for this Stats exam I have! It's tomorrow morning. I think I'm gonna try to post pictures afterwards. My fiance is flying in tomorrow night (♥ !!!!) I'm SO excited! I can't promise a ton of posting this weekend, but sometimes I can sneak in while he gets into his video game mode! =] I did take a picture of my new shoes though, which hopefully I'll get a chance to wear this weekend! 

They're not super tall but they're comfy and on they were on a hell of a damn good sale. =] They're pretty simple too, but I like that. As you can see, too, I FOUND THE CORD TO MY CAMERA!!!!! =] Thank the Lord! I'm gonna try to post pics of my CCO haul this weekend.

I bought Lush products. I'm not loving or hating it to be honest, which really makes me sad. I really wanted to love them. I just don't think they're anything that special. Here's what I got:

LUSH HAUL

-Coalface (-) (Nice -- but nothing special)

-Tea Tree Water Toner (-) (Doesn't do much)

-Mask of Magnaminty (-) (LITTLE BUMPS ON CHIN AND FOREHEAD!)

-Love Lettuce Mask (Haven't tried)

-Ocean Salt Mask (Haven't tried)

-Vanishing Cream (-)

-Rub Rub Rub Shower Gel

-Buffy Body Butter (♥)

-Whoosh Shower Jelly (♥)

-Therapy Massage Bar (♥)

-Porridge Soap (♥)

-Rockstar Soap  (A little sweet for me)

-Honey I Washed The Kids Soap (♥)

-Sultana Soap

(-) = Wouldn't buy again 

(♥) =  Like/love and would consider buying again

So overall...not that happy because my face is bumpy =/ I think I'm just too sensitive to their products. The body stuff is nice though. I'll post later on with my CCO haul! Love you ladiesss! 

CCO + Shoes + Lush

K a few items I wanna talk about real quick.

1. I went to the CCO (♥) and got some discounted/discontinued MAC items! (TENDERTONES!) Gotta love discounts! Anyways, I will post pictures when I get home tomorrow night. My family is on vaca for the weekend in WI Dells so when I get home, I will put up some pics!

2. Also got 3 new pairs of heels from Nine West on sale! In WI, all they have is an outlet mall. And honestly, I am in LOVE. I got 3 pairs of heels for $130, and normal price it would have cost me well over $250. Again, I'll post pics when I get home. =] 

3. I really want to go to LUSH tomorrow night and wanted some recommendations. Any insight would be helpful. Rants and raves, you know. I've seen a ton of reviews and there's quite a bit on my list. I'll probably get the smallest sizes of everything to get a feel for it. Or even get some samples and then if I like it, go back for more. That's the smart way to do things. If there's one thing to know about me, it's that a scent can change my whole day. I love things that smell good. Soaps, lotions, shampoo, etc. Scents have a way of making my day better so if I like the smell, I tend to go all out. We'll see if Lush manages to do that to me. =] Hahaha!

*OFFER*

4. I made a new thing on top of my page!! =] I have photoshop and I really like designing graphics! I found the picture out there on the internet (let's face it - I'm no photographer) and just played around with it. It's simple but cute. If anyone ever wants one, I would be more than happy to make it. =] Give me a picture and what words you want on it and what colors.
