melody's makeup outlet haul

so after reading all about melody's makeup outlet in alhambra from yummiebitez, i had to check it out for myself since it's only about 15-20 minutes away from me. why not save money on name brand makeup? well...i got a viva glam I and a warm eyes royal palette that i've wanted for a very long time since I got addicted to the makeup craze. i love name brand makeup and always just used the urban decay shadows, clinique, or lancome but I had to check out the shadows on this baby. it's an old palette but I am IN LOVE with it! I haven't tried the lippie yet, but I will soon. I had this haul for awhile now...I went the day after I saw it on yummiebitez blog and yup...i even got a 10% discount just for mentioning the gal :] thanks! so yessss...just wanted to let you know what I picked up!

p.s. thanks for the hair comments! i love it too but i am so lazy to style it every day :[

new hair?! not really...

okay so i sort of suck at this blogging thing because i cant leep up with my posts. I take tons of pictures but I just can't seem to upload them and then watermark them and whatnot and grrr i am a lazy butt. anywhoo...i got my haircut a couple of weeks ago and totally did not want that emo punk hair look...but kind of...so i went to my hairdresser to see if she could give me this look without changing my hair too drastically [i just had layers in front]. she fobbed it out and yet with a touch of hardcore punk, it looks cute and chic. i love it. she has totally crazy hair like those rebel hong kong kids that smoke cigs down the alley in front of the arcade...she has a crazy sharp cut with choppy layers and hot red streaks...and in the back she has her hair cut around her tattoo on her neck. it's crazy cool. i love love love how she styles my hair. too bad i can never style it exactly how she does it...she tries to teach me each time but I still fail miserably. oh well. i'm not pro like her. here's a front view [which is blurry thanks to the boyfriend's oh so not steady hand], a side-view, and a back. enjoy!

talent? indeed!

so my boyfriend is a graphic design major and he totally loves messing around with photoshop. i guess he got bored one day and wanted to add some photoshop makeup to his already cute face :p yeah well let's just say his makeup skills are crazy! i saw it and was like wtheckkk that's photoshopped?! well anywho, he makes one scary looking dark guy if he actually wore this out to the real world :p here's the before and after pictures :]


before!


after!

i guess you guys can click the picture to see a more clear view. but he sure has talent!
i have some eye looks to post but i've been too lazy to post them and i got my hair cut recently as well! i shall post those pictures up SOON! :] enjoy!

whine

before i am off to work, i want to make a little rant about loose shadows. they are lovely and beautiful and all that good stuff but i just hate how they get EVERYWHERE! i have to take extra effort to dust some powder under my eyes in order to swipe off the excess shadow that comes off and it is suchhh a hassle. eww. but me being me, i'll suck it up because loose eye shadows are pretty and pigmented and they look awesome :] i just won't use them before work when they get on my clothes and yeah. im such a whiner but oh well. sue me :p

spray me!

alrighty, so i've been using this baby for the past couple of weeks and i love it! it's so easy and convenient, just spray and go! i have to say that i am pretty tanned, and i want to achieve a fair complexion and with this 70 spf, it will help me get there. along with wearing long sleeves in the sun, which i try to stay out of as long as i can, i have to say that it seems like i am not getting darker yay! this product doesn't have a funky smell to it either that normal sunblock gives off. it feels nice and it's easy to use. i am definitely going to keep my hands on this!
