What’s your favorite eye shadow color to wear?
PURPLE!! I love all purples and love to mix them with everything :]
What’s the one product you wouldn’t leave your house without?
Chapstick or any type of lip moisturizer. I tend to lick my lips a lot or rub them together and they always get dry...
What’s your favorite makeup look – high drama OR natural?
High drama. It's just more fun to play with and all colors can be used.
Which feature do you play up the most?
I think eyes...I'm not too much of a lipstick person although now I try to remember to slap some on. I like to take my time playing up my eyes though :]
Which feature do you try to downplay/cover up?
I try to cover up my uneven skin tone...I have patches on the side of my cheeks and under my eyes for some reason, the color is wayyyy lighter than the rest of my face T__T
Your favorite makeup brand, if you could pick only ONE to exist?
At the moment...and I mean at the moment moment because this changes often lol...DIOR!! Thanks Fuz :p
Which product have you re-purchased OVER and OVER again?
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion...this is the one and only moisturizer [that I've tried amongst many] that actually soaks up the dryness [and thats a lot especially during the winter!!], AND does not make my skin oily. It is pure love for me.
Which product would you NEVER repurchase again and why?
CG Lashblast...this was a no go for me. It did not hold my lashes' curl and did not make this as dramatic as everyone else claims it does. I've tried other mascaras around the same price that have fulfilled the job.
One beauty treatment you would always PAY to have done?
Hrm...I don't like facials...at the time they feel good, but later for some reason I always break out even if I tell the person my skin is very sensitive...I like to do my own eye brows...UHH...hate getting my nails done because I hate it when they cut the cuticles >.<...I'm with Diana on this one...hair cuts I would dish out money for :p HEH! ALTHOUGHHHH...my ex-bf's mom went to beauty school and so she used to cut my hair :] But not anymore :[
One beauty treatment you would NEVER pay to have done?
See above answer lol.
One beauty trick you can share with everyone:
Hrm...don't really have any that all of you don't know, but I was watching youtube vids one day and one girl...I believe xteeener...she said to blow dry your eyelash curler for like...10 seconds and then curl your lashes. Your curl will hold for a much longer time since it's now been used like a hot-tool [like a curling iron on your hair]. This actually helps a lot!!
Best advice you've ever been given regarding beauty and makeup?
The best?? When using liquid eyeliner and you're in a hurry and don't have time to let it dry, take a Q-tip and pat the liner to help it dry faster :] Wait like...10 seconds after you apply it first of course to let to set at least. I love my Lancome Artliner, but don't have the patience to let it dry..I love Q-tips :]
I am tagging YOU!! YES YOU!! :]

cs brushes review [after a week of usage]
I did a review on the cs brushes after washing them [click here], and i wanted to let you beauty bloggers know the status of their usage. Here's a review after a week of using them and this is just totally my opinion. I don't know if I got a bad brush [you can tell from what I will write below] or what. If you have any other questions just leave me a comment. On to the review!
The Silver Duo Fiber Stippling Brush $7.95--
This brush, aside from washing, was actually pretty good to my surprise. I was so upset after washing it since it shed so much, but as using it with my liquid foundation, it shed maybe three hairs at most. It was incredibly soft and gave the great airbrush look finish to my face. I only used it for my liquid foundation but I'm sure it would be great for cream blushes and such.
This product gets a 4/5 kaos just for usage!!
But for washing it gets 1/5 :[
Flat Mineral Bronzer Buffer Large $4.25--
OH MY GOODNESS THIS BRUSH. It was just a total let down in my opinion. I washed it about three more times and finally get a neutral scent after using TOOTHPASTE to wash it. Yes...toothpaste!! I was desperate!! I don't even care if it's good for the brush or not...it smelled THAT bad. Anyways...after using it...it just shed even more on my face!! It was pure annoyance. I used it maybe...two times after that and couldn't take it anymore. Coverage was decent but...the shedding even after washing it THREE TIMES made it worse.
This brush just gets a 1/1 overall.
Italian Badger Angle Brush $6.99--
This brush was absolute love. At first I thought it was a bit small, but it ended up being the perfect size for my cheeks. It allowed more control for me and was very soft on my skin. No breakouts occurred whatsoever. I highly recommend this brush.
This brush gets a 5/5
Italian Badger Blender $2.95--
This brush was my most favorite out of the four. It didn't give me any problems during washing and this brush is just...amazing. The price is unbeatable and the quality is even better. It is VERY VERY VERY soft and blends wonders. I love this brush and saw myself using it often compared to my Sonia Kashuk blending brush. PURE PURE LOVE!!
This brush gets a 10/5...yes it's that amazing!
I hope this helps you ladies!! Sorry I didn't buy more to review. It was my very first CS haul and I wanted to just try them out. The shipping was fast for even the cheapest one and I even got a pigment sample. How nice!
I always wanted to thank you ladies for all of the wonderful comments you left me!! I would have loved to show you the "full" picture but ahem ahem. I don't think I will bare all just yet *blushes. This pictures made me want to model for Victoria's Secret PINK line or something though. Who wouldn't want to model on a bed with nice white sheets?! ;D But thank you really!! I really do enjoy being Andy's model while he plays around with his camera :p
He has an xsi/450d dslr whatever that means for those of you who wanted to know :] Bye for now!
P.S. He says he wants a 50d [again...whatever that means]. If anyone has any hookups with discounts anywhere let me know!! :]

looks i wore for sd
Here is one of the looks I wore for San Diego. I only brought my Dior Holiday Palette 2008 since I wanted to pack light. I had on the gray and dark green shadows on my eyes along with the cream color as the high-light.
Here's a good picture with me wearing my LAVENDER WHIP!! It is pure love...
I think for this picture that Andy took of me I put HK Sweet Strawberry on top of Lavender Whip.
I also wore my Makeup Forever Aqua OL liner...this stuff was really creamy on my eyes...but it stayed!! I'll have to compare it to my NYX waterproof liner for you gals. :]
I love the dark green mixed with the sparkly gray...
And this picture is just for kicks. I think it came out pretty cool with me blurred in the background. I wish my skin looked this light every day :[
We have matching promise rings :]

san diego
As I was saying before, I just got back from San Diego on Sunday. Andy and I went for the weekend for our one year [I am totally going to marry him ^__^], and the weather was great! It was nice during the day, got a bit chilly at night, but that's what the two of us were there for...cuddling in the cold along the San Diego shore, admiring the sites. I thought I would indulge you with his photography :]
*click to enlarge pictures
This was the view from the Hyatt Hotel by Seaport Village. Very pretty sunset :]
A big boat...
Lots of water...
On the shore of Seaport Village. They have this little cookie stand...those cookies are the best.
At Point Loma...one of the few shores that we have that has a light house!! That's me!
Me again trying to look cool with my stunna shades.
This is the Coronado Bay Bridge that leads to the Hotel de la Coronado or something. All the rich folks go to this resort...rooms start at $259 a night. More than 200 people have jumped this bridge to suicide...they even had suicide hotline signs along the bridge!!
This is Seal Rock in La Jolla, another ritzy part of San Diego. There's always a bunch of seals here. They're so fun to watch!
This is a baby seal with...I have no idea what that is...a penis? I guess he was happy that everyone was taking pictures of him.
This is me freezing cold and whining. I'm sporting my Most Popular HELLO KITTY LIPPIE THOUGH! Love!! I think I had Sweet Strawberry Lipglass on top :]
I hope all of you enjoyed!! Oh yeah, I went to the CCO down by the boarder and they had nothing I wanted. Boo hoo! :[

I WANT!!!
Of course Dior has a new line out for spring and since I'm hooked on their shadows thanks to the holiday palette and i am hooked to the lippies thanks to fuz i want!! This is the Parisian Lights palette which I am ABSOLUTELY getting!!
I will probably get Satin Pink [the gloss] and Couture Pink [lippie]. Both are adorable pinks!
I just got back from San Diego. I went for the weekend with Andy for our one year :] Pictures will be posted shortly.
