tra la la poop splat

I couldn't think of a better title. 

So remember how I complained about my 88 Ultra Shimmer palette being broken and how they offered me $7 credit only for some future use as a solution and how I emailed them back basically saying that's dumb, let me just send it back? I noticed that those people who complained through the REVIEW/RATING system seemed to get treated a lot better, huh. Wonder why? Maybe because..... it makes coastal scents look bad if they just ignore them, I don't know. 

So. I went and rated everything I had ever boughten, well.. not the brushes. Just 3 palettes. I gave them all 5 stars as they do deserve them, and commentary for each, which was more or less excellent, making sure to mention how I blogged about it in my blog without actually releasing my blog name, then when I was writing the review for the Ultra Shimmer palette, I made sure to include that it was broken when I received it, how it's an issue I'm still trying to work out, blah blah blah, it's a pretty palette, blah blah blah. So then MAGICALLY I get an email saying that oh we're so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your purchase, we are sending you a new one free of charge, basically. Would I say my secondary plan worked? Yes I would. Whoever answered my first message to them should get slapped in the face with a big fat stick of melting goat cheese on a super freaking hot summer day. Why goat cheese? I think it smells the nastiest, that's why.

So! Remember that day my mother went with me to the mall because of my laptop issues? Well she was shoe shopping for a concert she was going to (which was this past saturday) and we came across these gladiator-ish sandals that were REALLY cute but they only had a size 6 left. wayyy too big, so I ordered them online. I ordered a size 5.5 since it looked like it might run a little narrow but arghh I was wrong. It runs pretty true to size so it's actually a SMIDGE too big on me.. I'm really a size 5 here. It's not too bad though, I mean I could've returned it for the right size but it's just half a size and I don't feel like going through the hassle. Pics!

my feet look a little small here.. hmm..

OH so this whole week nothing but badddddddd things have been happening to me.. not horrible things but just physically.. painful things.. Remember how I slipped in chicken juice and bruised my knee, then that same day I was eating lunch with my legs crossed but when I got up to put the dishes away I hit my knee on the chair in the same spot? Well.. two days later I was doing my makeup in front of my vanity mirror with my legs crossed. I got up when I finished and hit my knee on the exact same spot at the bottom sharp edge of the drawer/table thing my vanity mirror is on so I ended up tearing my skin on the bruise. NIIIIIIIICE.

I got blisters on the sides of my feet where the side buckle thing from those cute sandals from above were rubbing against my feet that whole day that I wore them, so I popped them and they look all nasty now. 

If you girls don't follow me on twitter.. I accidently cut a huge chunk of my arm out a few days ago when I was cutting open my NYX package. The box was so ridiculously taped up that my scissors were having trouble going through it. I was wielding it pretty carelessly too.. and well.. you can guess what happened. Better yet, I'll be mean and nasty and show you the pic I posted on my twitter!!!!

Gross no?

OH since I'm moving apartments, me and my sister decided to sell my ugly brown couch so we could buy a day bed for our new one! Surprisingly somebody actually fell in love with it and came by to buy it!! It all went pretty smoothly, very nice guy, but remember that bad luck thing? Yea, the guy made sure I didn't have to do much since apparently I'm just a girl and he didn't want me to hurt myself, but his head was about to get hit by the metal leg of the sofa when he was loading it in and I grabbed it so it wouldn't, but then he was losing his grip on it and it was too heavy for me to hold and blah blah.. I have a half an inch cut running between my pinky and ring finger on my right hand, the opposite hand from the one that has the chunk missing. 

*breathes* I've lost so much blood this week. LOL. Forreal, when I lost that chunk from my arm, the rest of the day my lips had this weird blue-ish cast on them. It's ok, I'm ok now. 

I did a gunmetal/dark greenish look a few days ago too!! pics! Brows not filled, sorry! This was one of those night looks again so I didn't want to waste my brow crayon. I think I look alright without filling my brows.

Mwah!! You can see the makeup too.

Close up of zee eyeee.

I think I got a little darker and uhh.. fuller faced. BLECH.

A new laptop?!?!?!?

HEHEh! Nope! I just bought a new protection hard case for it! It's so cute!! It's perfectly see through so you can't really tell it's a cover! It looks like  a real blue laptop all around, top and bottom, side, everything! :) Pretty no????

My small NYX haul that came in a large ass box that caused my arm to suffer

With flash: Jumbo pencil in Purple, wild flower shadow, Luxor shadow, beige concealer

No Flash

I didn't.. I couldn't have.. OH YES I DID. You know those high end cosmetics dupe lists that have been floating around? As extensive as my collection of makeup is.. I wanted to see just how ACCURATE these dupes are. I do NOT agree completely with some items on those lists, sometimes I wonder if those people who suggested those items were drunk. Anyways, THESE TWO HOWEVER, I do applaud and agree with. 

NYX Wild Flower eyeshadow is supposed to be the dupe of MAC Paradisco eyeshadow. The finish is the exact same, the color and the specks of glitter are an incredible dupe.. HOWEVER. Wild Flower is a LOT MORE pigmented and a lot easier to apply than the normal Mac Paradisco, I find Paradisco hard to layer on, it's a PAIN to use sometimes but with Wild Flower, you can get it to show up VERY easily without trying too hard.

NYX Luxor eyeshadow is supposed to be a dupe of Mac Stars and Rockets eyeshadow. ONCE AGAIN, BRAVO. Almost the exact same!!!! It's closer than the other suggested dupe, Milani in Shock, and when placed side by side, you really can't tell the difference! 

If anyone's on a budget or doesn't yet own Paradisco and Stars and Rockets, go with the NYX dupes! You'll save money!! 

Went to Rite Aid with my little sister while waiting for our pizza to be made on Sunday and bought some things I've been wanting to try out.

Jane Be Pure Mineral Gel Liner and Prestige Wet/Dry mineral foundation in Soft Spice

I've been using the Prestige compact these past 2 days at school and the color is an excellent match. I'll review it soon enough, I doubt I'll ever use it wet though.  The gel liner is SUPPOSED to be better than the Mac fluidline, but I have yet to test it out. 

HMMM.. forgot to review the revlon pen.. I'll do it later. LOL!

Three days later and it's still bleeding through my bandaids. Getting better though, I think? HEHE?

Anywhos, time to spend time with the boyfriend! Night everyone!!

EWWWWWWWWWW finals are coming up. El screwed-o!!
