Burts Bees Skin Care

[this is not an advert. I was not sponsored or endorsed by Burts Bees in any way. All of these products were bought with my own money]

Onto a happier subject!

So i bought a bunch of new skincare!

My skin used to be TERRIBLE!

i had acne everywhere and after the zit would go away I'd be left with these FUGLY marks of darker pigmentation. I guess i'm lucky i don't have a crater face though.

I tried EVERYTHING to get my skin to calm down!

• Washing my face with only Clean and Clear, which just dried my skin out and made my acne worse.
• Only Neutrogena products same results as above
• Only Ivory soap.
• "Black skin care" that shits a joke!
• Noxzema
• Exfoliating daily

The last two worked! with a steady and basic regimine of Noxzema twice a day and exfoliating with St. Ives apricot scrub 4 times a week, my skin cleared up. 

Its still not 100% but WAY better than it was.

However, I HATE that the good noxzema comes in a tub. Its REALLY unhygienic; i mean do you know whats on your hands???

So after I finished off my last tub of  Noxzy i decided to try something new for my skin.

I went with:

Ive heard really good things about their skincare and ive been using their lip balms for a while so i figured they were worth trying.

so i basically redid my entire skincare system:

I got the Daily Radiance Facial Cleanser w/ Royal Jelly  for  my everyday  cleansing; its not heavy, smells good and takes off a majority of my makeup!

 AND its 99% natural!

For my exfoliation needs i got the Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub.

it leaves my face feelin like a babys ass! and its 100% natural!

Now im not a huge fan of toner since it tends to dry my skin out, but sometimes when the weathers changing my face gets super oily and i HAVE to tone, so i picked up the

Natural Acne Solutions Clarifying Toner.

99.5% natural 

and one of the best toners i have EVER used.

it doesnt leave my face feeling tight or smelling all...chemmically like most other acne products.

the last thing i got was some makeup remover/cleansing towelettes because i am notorious for passing out in my bed (or some random strangers..but more on that later) after a night of drinking.

and i HATE waking up with last nights mascara crusting my eyelids together and my false eyelash on some guys chest..(yeah thats a weird situation) so i actually bought two of these and i keep one in my bag and one on my desk by my bed.

So now i have no excuse to fall asleep with makeup on!

and they actually work really well! one towelette removes my full face of makeup!

and 99.1% natural too!!!

the only thing i didnt change was my moisturizer because i still have a 3/4 full bottle of Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer w/ spf. 

Good stuff as well.

But once im out of it, im most def gonna go back and get some burts bees day cream and night cream.

im thinkin the  Radiance day cream w/ spf 15 for my everyday and the Beeswax moisturizing night cream for night.

GOD I LOVE SKINCARE!!!!!

Bad Gals April meet!

I should REALLY be in bed. I legit have to wake up at 8am to go to work.

but I'm so excited!

Ive been up talking to my Sa members about the next meet up.

We decided to do the meet in Louisville because its almost Derby week here and theres actually stuff to do!

But since two of our members have kids, and 2 are under 21, that  kind of cuts out a lot of stuff.

SO we decided on going to the zoo!

ok, ok so it doesn't sound fun at first~ but its gonna be! know why?

cuz April 30th is

.

wait for it

Snooki & JWOWW

So I got new reading materials! 

I bought A Shore Thing & The Rules According to JWOWW Saturday! I was lookin for them at Borders since theyre goin out of business, but alas, they werent in the store. So i check online:

A Shore Thing: $25

Rules According to JWOWW: $20

not terrible prices. So I check the used books on Borders.com, they had a few copies of both in "good" condition for like $10-$15. Also not bad, BUT the used copies didnt come with dustcovers and probably had peoples dirty little fingerprints and what have you on em. Plus I wouldve had to pay for shipping or get the books shipped to a Borders here. But since the Borders closest to me is goin out of business, they wouldve had to ship them to the Borders on the other freakin side of town.

So that was a no frickin go. : / 

Amazon! they have good deals! Nope. Basically the same as Borders.

I JUST WANNA READ MY SHORE GIRLS BOOOKS!!!

Life is finally looking up for me!

hihi! how is everybody...like all 32 of you lol.

Sorry about the lack of updates, life has just been......rough. But its finally looking up!

ok so lets go in order:




1) I got my federal taxes back.

haha big whoop right? well it kinda was~ i had been using my savings to pay my bills and whatnot since I lost my job in mid July, and I probably used about $800 - $900. I have a decent amount of money saved up, but I didn't want to deplete it. So when my taxes came back, I payed off a bill, payed the rest and put the rest back into my savings. See, I can be responsible. =)

i also got my state taxes back but i paid bills with those too. i need to stop shopping.

I got a problem!

2)I got a new blackberry

I used my aforementioned tax money to buy it lol. I actually changed my phone plan to a family plan in order to buy my new berry. so I have my new white Torch 9800 who is fully functional and my Bold 9700 which can only do calls and SMS. It may sound stupid, nut it works out quite well; I use the Torch mainly, but I keep Gizmo (the Bold) around because the torches battery life  isn't amazing.

gizmo (9700)

Vivienne (9800)

3) I'm back on my Gal game

Ive been in a bit of a slump since maybe October when it started to get really cold here. Idunno, I think I go into Gal Hibernation. Kentucky isn't the coldest state, but its REALLY unpredictable. cold and rainy, ice, 2 feet of snow overnight, thunderstorms, floods, you get it right? Kentucky in the winter is a deathtrap, but spring and summer! THOSE ARE THE GOOD SEASONS!

but i digress, now that its finally getting warm again, I'm motivated to dress better and work on a new makeup look! Speaking of which I ordered some Diamond Lashes from Ichibankao, i got the "charming" lower lashes and i am in LOVE. I'll probably do a review on em soon.

not the best pic, but it shall do

3b) I also ordered a pair of  Bami Lense from my wonderful sponsor mukuchu. I haven't received them yet, but when I do, expect a review lol. I got the green apple for spring and i may get the Chocolate pair next.

4) I got a fuckin job

THE ANGELS ARE SINGING!

if you didn't catch it earlier, I ve been out of a job since mid July. I've been looking, but to no avail.

must get out of kentucky!

I've got my resume on careerbuilder, monster, all of those sites and when i get that daily email thats about the best jobs for you, i apply, get a number and call back two days later to check on the status of my application.

I've also had friends be on the look out for stuff too and one finally went all the way through lol!

I was about to head out on my weekly Friday adventure with Jeremy when my friend Shaun called me and was like my boss wants to know if you can come in for an interview.

why of course I can.

(oh~ Shaun works as a bouncer at this nightclub/bar/restaurant Sully's.)

so i go up there just in plain clothes because its a pretty casual place and mainly cuz my interview pants were dirty, and I talk to the manager MiMi. she is adorable. shes like 5 feet tall, asian and i just wanna  take her home and lock her in my basement. =D 

but anyway, she told me that i would basically be a hostess and I'd also be doing some day shift (obviously) serving, Thursday through Saturday. and if i wanted to come onto night shift and be a Shot girl and all that fun stuff, that'd I'd be more than welcome to.

And i start  work on Thursday.

So yay! Im pretty sure that I wont make toooooooo much  money ,unless i go night shift and become the best shot girl EVER, but I just need a normal income.

but yeah, thats been my life for the past 2 weeks or so.

and Im really excited about the 26th: 

BAD GALS MEET

And I may get to FINALLY meet my love muffin Lisha!! 

(haha i smell trouble)

But yeah~

thats all you guys. well at least for now.

My Fashion MUST HAVES

To me, being grown-up meant smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails, and dressing up in high heels and glamourous outfits.
Lorna Luft

So This post is basically ripping off  Justins post lol.

But I decided to throw together a post of my fashion must haves =] here we go:

1) Sunglasses

 I LOVE sunglasses. They're the perfect finishing touch to an outfit and they can also hide unmade up eyes or tired red eyes, ya know, when you have one of those days when your lense are just being total cunts? Not only that, but they just make you look like a total bad ass ESPECIALLY aviators.  I have an oval face so i can pull off most styles but my preference leans towards aviators and big bug eyed ones =]

2)  Tights, OTK socks and thigh highs

Maybe I'm just old school but I am a WHORE for cute hosiery. the right pair can turn a boring outfit into something amazing, plus theyre practical especially in Kentucky where the weather is so unpredictable. I used to only wear black over the knee socks (old school gal lol) but I've expanded my collection and now i own far too many pairs of thigh high stockings. Most are fishnets, a lot have backseams, some have cuban heels (so sexy) and a few have patterns, but im rock-kei~ all i need are fishnets right? lol

3) graphic tees

I love a good graphic tee. BUT i HATE HATE HATE womens fitted tees, that little fuckin half sleeve thing digs into my armpit and thats not cute. NOT CUTE I SAY! But i digress, a good tee shirt is (for me) the basis of your outfit, i start out with the shirt and the rest of the outfit has to work with it. Most of my shirts are punk inspired (union jacks, anything to do w/ rock, sex pistols), but i have a few character tees and some just have really pretty pictures of flowers lol. oh and im not even gonna front... I like Ed Hardy, Affliction and all of those other terribly gaudy brands, but as long as you're not covered in it, I think you should be ok =D


4) HIGH HEELS

I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

Marilyn Monroe

I'm 5'4'. I'm short. I NEED high heels in order to function. like seriously, I own 4 pairs of tennis shoes and one pair doesnt really count because theyre boots, my other 3 pairs are a pair of baby phat tennis shoes (they were on sale for like $30), a pair of running shoes, and a pair of high top chucks. my other 20-odd pairs of shoes are heels: ankle straps, platforms, pumps, peep toes, knee high boots, boots with the furrrrrrrr, you get it right? O and if the heels less than 2 inches, i don't want it. Sorry if that sounds snotty, but really I'M SHORT!!! I do a fair amount of walking and yes my feet do hurt at the end of the day, but I think back and say "damn i looked good", so all is well. Also, if you're like me and only wear heels, you may want to look into insoles and corn pads. Dr. Scholl is your friend!

and one more thing on heels~

WEDGES ARE FOR CHEATERS 

GTFO

if you can't walk on a real heel, stick to your flip- flops. If you're waddling next to me, I WILL push you into traffic.

5) Destroyed Denim

I LOVE LOVE LOVE destroyed denim, especially pants with bright or sparkly tights under! *swoons* But I'll be damned if I pay department store prices for jeans with holes in em! FUCK THAT! so i usually buyu a pair of jeans and wear them as is till I get tired of them then pull out the scissors and sandpaper!(and bleach every now and then) It's quite easy to customize clothes if you have the patience and skills. just look at Violet LeBeaux~ no joke, I've gotten many an idea from her blog =]


6) Gunmetal or Silver Jewelry


I have nothing against yellow gold, but I just feel like silver looks better with my skintone and fits better with my rock outfits! I do wear yellow gold but only if I'm wearing mostly earth tones. but any way, Silver jewlery is LOVE, my main piece of jewelry that I'm currently obsessing over is my Juicy Couture pave heart gunmetal charm necklace

this is my BABY

HOWEVER! I REALLY REALLLLLLLLY WANT the Juicy Couture Rock & Royalty necklace:

Isnt that Bananas????

 Dark silvertone link chains layer with strands of black beads, graced by a signature crown pendantwith “Juicy Couture” banner, bow topper and clear stones. 

drool

but those are my fashion staples~ What are yours? 

Burn Pink: Lense Review

HIHI!! 

sorry~ long time no blog eh?

anyway~ today im reviewing my newest pair of circle lense! 

(purchased from pinky paradise)

BURN PINK

Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 year disposal

Design: These lense are a little pixelated  when you see them in their solution, but this pixelation cant been seen on the eye.

PINK!

L: the back R: the front

Enlargement: these lense are 14.5 mm so they're quite large ( or at least for me, since I'm used to 14mm lense) but they're not SUPER dolly looking. I do suggest wearing strong eye makeup with these lense or else risk looking like an alien.

thats pretty noticeable 

Color:  These are very very pink lol~ the main thing I see in reviews of pink lenses is that the color doesn't POP, especially in low light conditions. These too, tend to be a little less noticable in low light, but people can still tell that there's  'something not quite right" with my eyes as my grandma put it lol

indoors no flash

indoors with flash

outdoors sunlight

outdoors with flash

comfort: These are actually VERY comfortable!  however, after  like 6 hours of wear, my eyes do begin to feel a little dry, but its nothing eye drops cant fix =] 

design = 5/5

enlargement = 5/5

color = 4/5

comfort = 4/5

18/20

I love these lense and would recommended them to anybody, who likes a not-so-natural lense thats not too dolly, but not too boring

hello average looking girl

pop in your circle lense (if you wear them)

Burn Pinks

Next is face primer to smooth out your skin

lulz

After face primer, prime your eyes. I prime my eyebrows too, since I draw on half of them

Then concealer under your eyes

blend!

Next is eyeshadow! I put the darker shade on first, but you can do it however you want =]

NARS galapagos

I put Galapagos up to the crease ,then i put MACS honey lust up to my brow bone

honeylust

next is eyeliner!

i use liquid and creme liner on top and pencil on the bottom

First is tokidoki liquid liner, then Ink for eyes over the liquid 

don't worry if its a little off, your eyelashes will cover it lol

after liner is eyebrows!

I shaved off the ends of my brows and i draw them on. I'm currently in the process of growing my brows back out, so please don't mind my stubble.

fill them in obviously lol

then mascara on top

After mascara I  put on my foundation

BLUSH is next!

I use 2 shade of blush~ one for the apples of my cheeks and one for the hollows to contour

taos & orgasm 

orgasm goes on the apples of my cheeks and fades up to my temples

Then i make fish face and put Taos in the hollows of my cheeks

then i highlight my cheek with MACS highlighting powder

This powders limited edition, but Bare Minerals Radiance in Pure Radiance is an amazing substitute 

highlight powder goes on the tops of my cheekbones

then contour your nose with any brown eyeshadow and blend away any harsh lines

then use the high beam to highlight the bridge of your nose

then i put fiberwig on my inner bottom lashes. Only the inner lashes because I wear bottom lashes only on the outside corners

then bottom and top lashes

bottoms

bottoms and tops

take your liquid liner and go back over your top lash line to cover any glue and the lash band

and the final step is finishing powder!

Make up Forever HD powder is awesome! but if you're not willing to drop $30 on it, Bare Minerals Mineral Veil is good too =]

o wait... lip gloss lol

LIP GLOSS IS THE FINAL STEP!

i use nars lip gloss in orgasm with stila lip glaze in apricot on top

heyyyyyy sexy lips

DONE!
