Hey everyone! Well,
it’s Sunday again, how was everyone’s weekend?
Mine was pretty good, did a little shopping, celebrated Aaron and Becca’s
birthdays, now just getting ready to head back to work on Monday. I was on vacation this week so I’m sure I’ll
be a bit behind on things tomorrow but I get to see my awesome coworkers so
that makes up for it, lol.
So, since I was on vacation this whole week I really have no
idea if I’ve lost, gained or maintained any weight. I’m gonna guess gained since I have not worked
out nor eaten well at all. Starting
tomorrow I’m gonna have to get back in the game. I’ll be honest, I just really didn’t
care. My plan this week was to sit and
not do anything I didn’t want to do, so that’s what I did, lol. My schedule changes on the 7th of
May and I’ll be getting off work 30 minutes earlier so I’ll have a little more
time in the evening to work out and cook healthier things. It will also give me a chance to use the
workout room at work which gives more exercise options. Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it J.
I did manage to pick up a few beauty items at Ulta on Friday. I got 3 new eyeliners. One was a replacement for my Loreal Carbon Black Intense liquid
liner. This is my favorite liner of all
time. It’s just really easy to use and a
great starter liner for anyone who’s never used liquid liners before.
I also grabbed a Revlon
Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in “Blackest Black”.
This one is more like a fine tipped marker. I’ve seen a lot of reviews that state this
eyeliner is the best to use for winging so I decided I’d try it out. It’s very similar to MAC’s Penultimate which I’ve tried before but for quite a bit less
money. I’m hoping it lasts longer than
the MAC one did. That one either dried out fast or had very
little product in it to begin with. I’ll
be sure to let everyone know what I think.
The last eyeliner I got was one of NYX’s Jumbo Eye Pencils. The
one I got is called “Purple Velvet (623A)” which is a dark metallic purple. I actually don’t use these as eyeliner but
more as base for different shadows. That’s
really what these work the best as. I have
two others, “Dark Brown (602)” which is a matte dark brown obviously, and Rust (619)
which is a dark metallic red.
The next thing I picked up was a new essie nail polish in “Sure Shot”.
It’s a bright magenta pearl. It’s
actually what this week’s manicure is so the picture will be below.
The final item I picked up at Ulta was the new NYX “Crimson
Amulet” palette that was inspired by the new Dark Shadows movie. It has
24 eye shadows in a wide variety of colors from darks to lights to neutrals, 5
blushes, 4 lip glosses, an illuminator, a small tube of eye shadow primer and a
small liquid eyeliner. I haven’t tried
any of the colors out but from my experience NYX eye shadows are quite pigmented so I have high hopes for
these. I’ll be sure to get swatches up
this week and start working on some new looks.
The last beauty item I purchased this week I don’t have
yet. I ordered a new Crown Brush palette from Hautelook. This one is called “Blizzard” and has 28 “shimmer”
(frosted) colors. I’m really excited
about this. I love my Crown Brush “Smoke It Out” palette and I’m
positive this one will be just as awesome.
Moving on to fashion purchases this week I stopped at Target and got some colored denim crops
by Mossimo. The color on the tag says “orange” but I
think they’re more of an orange-coral mix.
To go with them I got a white three-quarter sleeve peasant style top and
a pair of coral colored sandals, both by Mossimo. I also have a light/foam green lightweight Mossimo scarf I ordered on the way as
well. I think this will turn into a
really cute outfit and will probably end up as the “Outfit of the Week” the
first time I wear it, lol.
My last purchase for the week isn’t really a beauty or
fashion purchase but I do love it. I got
a new tattoo on Thursday. My friend
Jared helped design it and the tattoo artist, Bryce at Addictions in Ink Tattoo and
Piercing, adjusted it some more. It’s
a crow with eyes in the wings, based off the graphic from the cover of The Crow movie/CD jacket. I chose this as a tribute to my late friend
Aaron who passed away 10 years ago last month.
I had it put on my right calf and the detailing in it is absolutely
amazing. I had originally planned on
having it on my right wrist but it never would have fit and looked good. I think it turned out just AWESOME and I LOVE
it!
I’ll finish up tonight with my manicure, “Sure Shot” by essie.
Like I said above, it’s a bright magenta frost that looks really great
for this time of year. I’m also
including a shot of the cute pedicure I did myself. I just thought it was pretty!
Well, that’s it for this week, I hope everyone has a great
week ahead. I hope to have a new
tutorial up sometime this week. You would
have thought that with a whole week off I’d have a slew of looks to show
everyone but really, I did as little as possible this last week, lol. If anyone has any suggestions for things they
want to see or know, whether it be looks or just topics in general, let me know
in the comments and I’ll put something together!
Again, everyone have a great week and I’ll talk to y’all
soon J.
