cuhhh

It's so cold right now, my boobs feel like frozen pebbles.

quick summary of what's to come and what the shazzleheimers I did today.

Went to my cousin Mimi's bday party. Danny, David, and Jackie planned it so it's the typical alcohol infested craziness. Pics from this and stories to come soon!

Finished up the last of my xmas shopping!! Time to wrap now.

Did some more bra and eyeliner shopping.

wtf.. my favorite pair of 2 and a half year old Cathy Jean boots broke.. I found the heel snapped in the closet, must've been from frequent wear or somebody borrowed it without telling me. YARRRRRRR! This sucks. Time to find a new pair.. not that I don't already have lots of boots.. but now it's time to find ones to replace them! Or.. should I get the same pair again? DUDE they upped the price this year or something.. because even though they have the EXACT SAME model on their website.. I SWEAR I paid $75 for them.. now they're more than DOUBLE? WTF? Forget it, they're cute but now THAT cute. Steve Madden has a similar pair for $135 but still.. the heel isn't how I like it. Time for my search to begin again!

This has to be some kind of sign. My bf HATED it when I wore these boots in the past because they made me around.. 5'7.5 or 5'8.. now he used his mind to secretly destroy them. HMPH!

I finally ordered new clear contacts, although wearing the grey for the past few days has started to grow on me.

More people called me korean during my daily walk around life.

I'm freezing. Time for bed now. Alcohol makes me sleepy.

liquid liner experiment.. plus pic whoring speal

:) WHAD UPPPPPPP?

First.. I'll share with you my little experiment and then I'll share with you pics of me, my tired face and my new hair color! YIP YIP WOO! 

First off.. I have in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM found an HG liquid liner, in fact, I think all liquid liners I've encountered are utter and complete CRAP! I've just used the Prestige Automatic sharpening waterproof pencil in black, and I use a Q-tip to make the line sharper and give it that nice shape, which can be a bitch to do. I have gel liners too but I hate cleaning the brushes that I have to use for them. ANYWHOS.. I was killing time because I took my bf to do his assessment tests at Mt. "ball"Sac.. it was to be from 2 PM to 6 PM.. holy shnizzles! What's a girl to do? Well.. it so happens that about 4 days ago.. I lost/misplaced my credit card.. and since no charges have been made to it at ALL.. I decided to use the time to retrace my steps and ask around. I did find it later though.. but that's a different and embarrassing story.  ANYWAYS.. I went to target to pick up a surprise reward/gift for my bf.. SWEET AND HOT BEEF JERKY! He loves it and I know he wouldn't expect to see me holding it out to him when he comes out of the testing room! :) Buuuut.. that's not all I picked up.. I picked up some munchies for me to snack on while waiting for him and wandered to the cosmetic section. 

I figured.. why not give liquid liner another try? So I picked up two without thinking much about it, Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof and Wet N Wild H2O Proof Liquid Liner, both in black. 

This isn't a review but more like.. a comparison of staying power yadig? 

Ok, from left to right it's..

K-Palette Real Lasting Liner

Lancome ArtLiner in Black

Maybelline Ultra Liner Waterproof

Wet N Wild H2O Proof

I made two rows, top is to test their water staying power, the bottom to test their smudge resistance power.. now to show you how dark they are, how thick/thin the brushes will let you line..

No Flash

Flash

Ok.. now smudge time. I basically used my finger and rubbed, not too hard but hard enough.

No flash

Now I turned on the faucet using both cold water first, then hot water (pretend it's tears), then dabbed it with a towel lightly and rubbed VERY lightly, pretending your eyes are blinking a lot.

No flash

Then I wiped them off with diff makeup removers to see just how powerful they are.

With Green Mandom on the bottom row with VICIOUS scrubbing..

With Mac Makeup Removing Wipes with vicious scrubbing..

Then I took off the rest with.. I forgot what it was, junk my mom had.

I think the results speak for themselves. I'll do a review on the H2O and the Ultra Liner later, let's juse say one sucks because it's a pain and the other sucks because I hate the brush!

Ok, me time.

Only pic of me with teeth that doesn't look pained!! wth!!

What I think of my father.. who won't let his almost 21 year old daughter go out past 11 PM.

MAH GRILLS!!!! ooo.. my brows look good.

See? Pained look!!

*taken out* I look gross

Excuse the tired eyes

My hair from my part area

The bang part, I LOVE chunky layers, can you tell?

My attempt to be sexy turned into a drunken bum with no neck!

.. I was bored. I have no shame. No shame I say.

Babe makes fun of pics like these.. he's always.. "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING? WHAT'S OVER THERE?" fucker. LOL!

Ok, so why the grey contacts? Well.. I only have one pair of clear contacts left that I'm saving for New Years in case anything should happen to them and I would've ordered  new ones but I LOST MY CREDIT CARD REMEMBER? Do you know how long it takes to get contacts? Especially when it's the holiday season? DAMN! It's ok.. at least the grey isn't too out there. My sis saw me with my new hair and my contacts today and said I didn't look full asian.. she said I looked mixed. Then my hairstylist called me korean.. along with many others. 

:( I'm a confused nationality.

LOTS OF LOVE! 

I'm off to buy more liquid liners tomorrow. OH I did a small cherry cultures haul, we'll see how it goes. Used the code for 20% off everything anyways! :D

Katie

ps- obviously Lancome liner failed miserably at both tests

pps- Wet and Wild failed too because it was TOO lasting. You have to pull at your skin and rub it till it's red to get it off. UGH!! DON'T BUY IT

Product Review

Yall might've seen me post a small pic of this a few entries back but I never exactly said what it was..

Quick Blurb:

I don't actually OWN this. I went with my mother when she did her usual.. skin care browsing/buying spree and the bottle caught my eye. By using my delightful persuasion techniques, I got her to buy it! So really it's HERS.. but I'm using it too. It's huge so it'll last us a looong time. Well.. for the price.. it better be.

COST:
$55 for 4.2 oz or $77 for the big jugga! 

ITEM:
Shiseido 'Eudermine' Revitalizing Essence

COLOR/Texture/Whatnots:
This is a skin softner. Clear in color, goes on like water, absorbs into your skin within a few seconds, no residue left. It has an almost herby smell to it but it fades away fast, nothing strong or stingy you get me? A little goes a long way (duh), no oily feeling, which I LOVE! 

THOUGHTS/HOW?:
LOVE IT. You put this on after you've cleansed your face, both morning and night, but I only do it at night because I'm a lazy fart like that. From the website.. "A softening lotion that delivers immediate moisture and improves your skin's own moisturizing power. The result is supple, smooth skin. Responds to changes in climate to keep the skin's moisture level constant regardless of location or time of year." I haven't broken out from this. It doesn't sting my face and I've been using this on and off for the past few weeks. 

PROS:
- GORGEOUS BOTTLE
- works baby
- no break outs at all!!
- face feels smoother

CONS:
- .. very pricey
- herby smell, I prefer citrus or something fruity!

If you have the extra cash to spend, I'd totally advise you to invest in this. I use this after my toner because I just don't feel clean without my toner. If you buy Shiseido quite often, I'd advise you to ask for a sample! YES! They have a sample size of the bottle! It's soooo cute! But it's hard to get the liquid out of the bottle.. so ehh. 

:) HEHEHE.. I told you guys the next entry was going to be related to beauty of some sort. 

SIDE NOTES:

- my hair is now officially salon dyed black, not my own failed dye job

- i have side bangs again! woohoo!

- xmas is coming up

- I can't find my cell phone

this is for sarah

-Edit-

LMAO!!!!!!! I just discovered how to use the whole.. subscribing to ppl thing.. adding ppl and their sites you know? I WENT ADD CRAZY!!!!!! ... if you get a reader count increase.. hehehhe yea you know who it is. :) Guilty!

-end Edit-

Because she facebooked me nicely about updating my blog to entertain her. LOL!! I thought you were going to Louisiana soon?! Mmmm.. chicken.. sorry, but when I think of Louisiana, I think of chicken. When I think of Missouri.. I think of nothing but corn. 

OK! I guess this is time to play catch up because I just uploaded pics from my cam and I realized.. I haven't posted SHIT since my blog about the fires!! WTF???? I thought I posted those up! I guess I've just been slackin! *Sigh* I fail at life. I'm going to buy some emo soap now. 

OHHH I went to my fav store of all time Jimmy Z.. ok actually it wasn't INTENTIONAL.. I was walking BY Jimmy Z on my way to Metropark to get my sis's bday gift (which she loved) when I noticed the "50% off everything" sign outside Jimmy Z!!!!! I don't know what it is about that brand that I like.. it's usually hit or miss in that store. No don't think surfer brand, even though it seems like it would be, the actual store sells more along the lines of.. Hmm.. I can't think of what but I'll post pics of what I bought later (bag is at my bf's house). Shiiiiet, I'll even model it all for you guys (something I never do!). Back to my story, I couldn't just WALK by so all of a sudden.. I found myself mysteriously at the cash register.. with a bag in my hand! How did that happen? I bought $140 worth of clothes and I saved.... drum roll please... $133!!!! DAMNNNN!!! Ok less talkin, more pictures.

Misc stuff before the morbid...

Let me show you some of my friends who hang out in my car!

The adventure brothers plus monkey face!

Mushroom face, who I'm surprised has stuck on this long!! 

The fires...

Morning when I woke up, we didn't know what was up. (House across the street)

We went out to breakfast and on the way back...

Got bigger..

The street before we turn onto our main street back home

If you look closely enough, you can see how the streets are starting to get foggy.. it was almost impossible to drive through when I left..

House across the street again, only 2 hours since the first pic..

Can you see the sun?

Thank god it's all behind us now. I actually got a lump in my throat when I saw the pics again.. I remember when I drove to see my bf I couldn't stop crying. The fire in Sylmar was about 20 miles away from my LA apartment too so it seemed like no matter where I went, I was trapped.

Ok, let's stop being sad. 

This was right after I dyed my hair black! Or.. attempted to. Missed a spot, you can see where. Ignore the red eyes, the bags, the lack of MU and chapped lips, I was tiiiiiiiired.

The Earthen Glow Mineral Makeup I ordered a while back! Top 2 rows are foundation shades I ordered plus the anti acne moisturizing serum I bought (... shit-tastic). The bottom row are free sample shades they threw in for me!! All were FULL COVERAGE, SAME AMOUNT AS THE ONES I BOUGHT!! Sadly to say.. none of the shades matched me, I was going to order more but this is when I gave up on the minerals. Excuse the ugly apartment carpet, it's not dirty, that's just the pattern. I can't believe somebody would actually choose that. YUCK!

Getting ready for my sis's bday dinner! My liner looks retarded here but it looked good in RL! Stupid bf and his stupid faces.. you look ugly!!!!! ... my hair obviously didn't stay black for long. Dumb dye!

XMAS IS COMING UP! Have you finished your holiday shopping?

Ok, so here's what I got my sis for her bday..

She picked this one out herself. Bobble ring, $7 Metropark

Not this one, but the one that's colored like this but it's an X formation, couldn't find it on the website, $40 metropark (swarovski crystals)

Picked this out too, $89 she LOVED it

Not sure what to get her for xmas. I've finished up for everyone except her. I know her style really well so it's easy to shop for her but all the stuff she wants but doesn't have are realllly expensive. hmmm.. what to do what to do. 

Oh so I found out that my bf's ex girlfriend looks at my myspace and his too. No, not because of a tracker, but from her little brother who hangs out with my bf. LOL, why is she even lookin at our pages? She cheated on him (ahem.. Ms. STD GROSS!!!!) so why is she even lookin back? TROLL. She might even be looking at this page! Hmm.. TROLL! :) YEA!

Anyways, FINALS ARE OVAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! WOOHOOOO!! I was soooo tired that day but in the end, we all must play! Me, the bf, his twin bro, P (penpal26), and Phuong all decided to get some candy *AHEM*. These were like.. slap you in the face so you sit down, curl up don't want to move ones. Not too shabby. Yea.. I really do think my tolerance for both alcohol and candy have gone up. It's re-dunk-ulous. 

So after spending a good week with my bf, I went home to ease my child deprived parents. Everyone's losing weight lately. My daddy's a good.. 200 something lbs but he's slimmed down drastically. My mom says he's been sick lately but I hope it's nothing serious. Mom already has cancer.. I don't want two sick parents. Well, yall know it's winter time, which is the time I usually start fattening up. I don't know why, my eating habits don't change but I gain a few pounds out of NOWHERE! Only in winter though, then it just disappears around spring. Strange.... I usually linger around 110-112 lbs on a normal day but I've gone up to 116-117  now. Not a HUGE deal but enough to make me raise an eyebrow. I'm considered underweight for my height, 5'7, but still. 

Anyways, yesterday I went to pick up the bf from his house to go all the way back to the OC to Matt and Jason's new house to help them move some stuff and then to go find a kitten because they want a new one for their house. Well.. the trip was a big loop. My bf's house is NOT on the way but in the opposite way and I called him multiple times so we could meet half way and take my car down to the OC but no. He loses the phone I bought him, finds it WAY later, and when I get to his house, he's wearing a stupid gag shirt, so I tell him to change, and I'm waiting downstairs.. and it's like... WTF what's taking so long? Does it really take 5 damn minutes to PUT ON A SHIRT? I listen carefully and he's talking to his friend about a stupid game. So I just end up leaving. I have a short fuse. I was already pissed off during my drive over to his house because this JACK OFF IDIOT is in the lane to my left.. and I'm just driving like normal when I notice that IDIOT is RIGHT next to me, and coming into my lane.. like he's half in his lane, half in mine. I honk and stare at him but HE KEEPS ON COMING IN!!! I'm like.. DUDE I'M RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR FUCKIGN ASS!! I honk again and again and again but he gets closer and closer until I can see that he's about to fucking clip my side mirrors!! I had to slam on my brakes and swirve to the right so he wouldn't hit me. MOTHER FUCKER ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND???? YOUR FUCKING BEAT UP PIECE OF SHIT CAN'T COMPARE TO MY TSX, YOU THINK YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY IS GONNA FUCKING PAY FOR IT ALL? UGHHHHHHHHH I hate stupid drivers.. I was cursing like a sailor the whole time to my bf's house, so we got in a fight because he's slow and when we're arguing and driving, this SHIT FACE IDIOT comes shooting from the left entrance all the way across the street into my lane and fucking cuts me off! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? DAY OF THE IDIOT DRIVERS?? I had to slam on my brakes AGAIN for this idiot and my windows were rolled down already and I was already heated so I yelled out "YOU FUCKING BEANER GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OFF THE ROAD YOU SON OF A BITCH!" and they sped off all quick. Stupid fucks. 

*calms down* *breathes*

So we got to matt and jason's, helped them move stuff, went to pet stores, all the cute kittens were all sold!!!  :(

We went back to their old house to hang out and I tried to learn how to top rock but ended up failing. LOL!!! It's ok, I'll get the hang of it eventually. Such a work out though, my legs were all... KILL ME NOW!! AHAHAHAH!! But it was really fun! 

Few days ago, put on my bf's Naruto headband. LOL, it's too big for my head!!! 

My eyes are the same color as my hair.. el oh el.

those two were from my cam phone!

Ok, time to eat lunch! 

Till next time!

Katie

ps- P showed me videos of this aussie girl or maybe she was from GB.. I don't remember but I LOOOOVED HER! P said it reminded her of me cuz of the sarcasm HEHEHE! I  want to do a video like that girl! Oh god.. ideas are already formulating in my head. :) Would you guys like to see that? 

ahoy there matey!

Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been spending the week at the bf's house, studying more or less, for my final which is tomorrow! Wish me luck! Back to studying! 

Oh but  before that, we went to my little sister's early bday dinner because she's gonna be in big bear during her actual bday. AWWWW my lil sis is turning 19 soon! I'll post pics from the dinner when I get them. Hmm.. left early because I had to finish studying and by early I meant 9:30 LOL.. controlled myself from the alcohol though! Bf.. not so much. He got soooo red and now he has a headache. :) He can't keep up with me and my cousins! I love you hunnie! It's the first time he's ever met my cousins and my brother. How adorable was that.. them drinking together.. smoking together.. talking about cars together.. I'm almost jealous! Ok no seriously.. back to studying. 

I have a product that I LOOOOOVE which I will share when I'm back. But for now, ciao bellas!

Katie

Hmmm.. random thought

So I've been feeling kind of nauseated today for some weird ass reason but the feeling's gone now! But while I was in my vegetated state on the couch, I watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and half of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. NEEEEEEEver would've seen that godfather thing coming. 

So why the entry? I was thinking.. that bottle of $65 bb cream I got and only used once? Yea. Just sittin in my drawer. Didn't use it during the summer because I was DARK, but now? I don't know, I like my TM right now and I'm only half way through it. I see people selling BB all over the net but a thread from ABB caught my eye. Nobody really sells BB samples! I mean.. they're payin a guap for this shit without trying it???? Maybe I should offer samples? Helps me get rid of my shit ya know? I don't know though, can't say I've seen many people lookin for BB samples. Just a thought. 

To those interested in BB cream, right now the most highly rated and most popular ones to use are by Hanskin, Dr. Jart, and Skinfood. Fo sheezy mac and cheesey they are the most famous! Phyllis from Makeup for Life is selling Skinfood BB creams. I currently own Hanskin. 

Cheers!

Katie

ps- WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO DARK CHOCOLATE FLAVORED HOT CHOCOLATE? I love dark chocolate! I don't care how many marshmellows you bribe me with! I demand some dark chocolate flavored hot chocolate!

blood red kisses

TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! Hahaha.. now you KNOW who isn't studying for finals but should be but doesn't want to so..... hi.

Popped back in because I forgot to upload two pics I took of my experiment. 

Let me tell you what I've learned.

1. I'm pretty damned light skinned

2. I'm pretty freakin damn light skinned.

I was at Longs Drugs near my house with the boyfriend to pick up NYX Herb eyeshadow because WHO KNOWS WHY I never picked it up. It's like.. I'll swatch it later. Goldy green. Very pretty.

Anyways, I was just wearing eyeliner and foundation that day and I saw this GORGEOUS red lipgloss.. but it was opened and I was like... EWWWWWW. Then I saw this deeper color and thought, HEY!! I don't own any dark lipglosses! I only have nudes, browns, pinks, peaches, etc. No reds, plum, nothing. 

I was also playing with a new way to line my eyes.. turned out like shit. My eyes are normally almond shaped no? It's like.. droopy almond that day. HAHAHAHA! Bf liked the lips... until I smacked him a big one on the cheek and he discovered how wonderful makeup remover was. 

I don't know why but the lips look BLOOD red in the pics, they're actually a shade darker than blood red.. but still bloody. HAHAH!! Here you go!

BF said I look like a doll in the last pic. Umm.. I look NOTHING like that last pic. I blame it on my sucky cell phone. Oh these are pics taken from my cell, I couldn't find my digi cam until AFTER i took everything off and found it in the back seat. My hair's growing out! WOOHOO!! 

Aww.. I was looking at old pics and these two were from last last thanksgiving!!

:) Enjoy.

PAYCEEEE!

Pretty isn't it?

Katie
