purple party

Tonight I went to a themed party where you had to wear purple, and all of you ladies know how I ADORE purple!! Anywho...here's my face ;D





These are the pictures with Andy's Canon 5D...and below are some pictures from my dinky Canon Powershot HAHA ;D SUCH A DIFFERENCE I KNOW!!



I told Andy to take a picture of the shadows I used, but he forgot to upload them to my laptop -.-'' So here's the list!!

On my eyes:
-Urban Decay Grifter on lower lid and bottom lashline
-Coastal Scents Midnight Sky on outter corner
- UD Ransom in the crease
- Smashbox Celebrita [white color] as highlight
- MAC blacktrack fluidline
- Some Asian crisscross lashes...I have tons of lashes but I never use them...lol.

*I really like fake lashes but no matter how much glue I seem to use...the edges look like they are going to fall off!! I've found that the half lashes work better for me...any tips ladies?!?!

On my lips I just have Dior Addict Hight Shine Lipstick 260 Couture Pink and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect 517 Clutch Pink.

I really do love the High Shine Lipsticks...they are not drying at all!! I was going to wear the lippie alone but I wanted to use my gloss for the first time too haha :p I love!

I have a couple of hauls coming up...stay tuned!

rub my body...

HAHA okay...so I decided to post the products that I use to hydrate and protect my skin...just a quick, simple post for you ladies.


H20+ products are the best...the site says:

Drench thirsty skin with a fruity, tropical refreshment enriched with shea butter.

Size 8 fl oz \ 240 ml

Price $11.50

I first tried this product out [but the kiwi one] a few years ago since it was on sale at Nordstrom's...I believe it was maybe $9? Don't know, but it smelled so good and I fell in love. Right now I have the Raspberry scent. This lotion isn't too thick, but it definitely moisturizes my skin. I have quite dry skin in the winter, and just by using this at night, in the morning my skin feels refreshed!!


Yes...baby lotion...but not just ANY baby lotion, but the Johnson's Bedtime Lotion. It says:
Johnson's® has created a nightly routine that is proven to help your baby fall asleep easier and sleep through the night better. Before bed, treat your baby to a warm bath, then gently massage skin with Johnson's® Bedtime Lotion®. Each product releases NaturalCalm™, a patent-pending blend of gentle and soothing aromas. Your baby will drift off to a better night's sleep.

It runs about $4.99.

It smells sweet like a baby, and the scent is so soothing that it DOES help me sleep better. I usually use this on a regular basis before I go to sleep [I only use the H20+ when my skin is extra dry], and it works well. It's not sticky and overpowering; it just feels nice.


This product I like because it smells nice...smells just like the Cucumber Melon from Bath and Body works for a cheaper price and more product. It does the job is getting rid of itchy, dry skin, and again, this is a baby product. I love it nonetheless.


Sephora Body Butters...they all smell amazing. I swear...I could eat them out of the container...I have Coconut Cream and Peach Blossom. I use these on my knees and elbows and within the next day, they aren't dry and rough anymore, but now smooth and soft. The butters are really thick, but they deeply moisturize those dry spots.


As for protection from the sun, I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock with SPF70. I heard these weren't good for you because of the chemicals it gives off and you could inhale them, but I'm not dead yet and I've been using it for about a year almost everyday. I spray it on in a very airy, open room, hold my breath, spray, and run to the next room. So yeah...looks like it's protecting me...here's a mini-story...

For years I was always protective of my skin and ran from the sun because I never wanted to get tan...and then one summer, I don't know what happened. I had the urge to go to the beach and go there for one goal...tan. It was after I broke up with a two-year boyfriend, and I needed to hang out with one of my closest friends again...and so we TANNED almost once a week the whole summer...you gotta love Cali...we would take turns driving 40 mins or more in traffic..to tan. Then...at the end of the summer...I was like a golden gingerbread cookie. One summer I spent tanning...I threw away YEARS AND YEARS of running from the sun. And now...I wish I hadn't done that :[ So that's why I run again...puahaha!!

Anyways...those are the products I use a lot of the time...there's a few more but those products don't get used on a regular basis. Whee...that was a LONG, but fun entry. Enjoy!

gray all over & Dior mascara!!

this is a look i did a couple of nights ago when andy and i went out to see the movie knowing [which i thought was pretty good!!]. i used my Parisian lights Dior palette along with the holiday palette...i just used the grays and blended...nothing special!!

I am wearing Mimmy on my lips.

I used the white color of the palette on my inner corner and underneath the lashline.


a very thin line of lancome artliner in noir [my hg liquid liner!!].
and since the parisian lights palette came with a mini Dior Iconic Mascara...I've been trying it out and at first I was like WHAT?! That's it?! I used it a few more times and I think it's only OKAY...I still really love my Clinique mascara that has the comb on the wand as well...it lengthens and thickens my lashes immensely. I guess I just expected MORE since it was Dior and all...boo.


no flash Dior Iconic Mascara..ehh it's okay... :p

with flash

and gosh...I took the pictures of myself with my little dinky Canon Powershot and omg...these pictures do not even compare to Andy's cameras...I've been spoiled too much with his photo quality :[

5d

i got my heels at ALDO :]

Andy's 5d is a Canon :] He loves him his Canon cameras :p

as I said earlier...we played with the 5d...the outcome:


i used my dior parisian palette ;D

i love my juicy bag from baby! *hearts


on the back of my shirt it has the >.< face lol

i love bright colors...it's a tad different from what I usually wear in pictures...I have a pretty wide selection of clothes :p

i think i came out very bright...probably because of the direct sunlight in some of the pictures...and probably because of the colors i'm wearing also. no work or studying tomorrow...that means another update shall be coming soon yay!

stairs and bricks

These were not taken with the new 5d that Andy got, but these were from last week since we got bored...but now that the 5d came in the mail and we both don't work this Monday...that means we will go on another shoot to test it out. I have no idea where we will go T__T

I used my Nars holiday palette which is love!!


i love my shoes...lol. Hey Tia!! Does this place look familiar?!?! It's right next to IKEA...yup! The huge Wells Fargo Bank HAH!

The lighting was just so pretty in this picture :p

It was so cold and windy again...but I love this wall.

I know Andy took more pictures but I guess he's either fixing the lighting on PS or he's being lazy :p

You can now click his picture on the right under MY OBSESSIONS that lead to his blog that he will try to update ;D
