New stuff for my arsenal!

Hey guys I know I've been MIA lately but I wanted to share some of the things I got recently. So last weekend I got the first the original Givenchy Phenomenon Eyes. Let me tell you loreal don't got nothing on this. The applicator is smaller and longer than the Givenchy which makes it less effective. I also got a lot more stuff from hardcandy from walmart, but until I can add pics I'm gonna hold off on talking about them. I'm testing out a new iPhone app for blogging on the go. So I gotta run guys but Happy Thanksgiving, guys!

Walmart Haul

Hey guys I know this is my first post in awhile and I haven't fulfilled my previous promise, but I'm back with a haul from Walmart. I actually got this stuff like two weeks ago but because I'm a slacker I'm just now getting around to posting about it. When I was in the store I ran across a section of brightly colored packaging and products that stopped me in my tracks. When I finally realized it was Hard Candy I was so excited I picked up a selection of liquid liners and eye duos.

Lucky

Galaxy

Dream Girl

Praline

Secret Rendezvous

Rush Hour

Hey guys I know that I have been MIA lately but I do have news for you.....I got a job!!!!! Not only do I have a job but I have a full time job so that plus school equals a tired Amanda. I have been running myself ragged and I haven't had time to devote to my blog. I have done some hauling so I will share that with you look forward to an update Monday cause I'm off work. Check you guys lata!

Pink Zebra Faux Mask

Ok I have ben trying to expand my makeup skillz lately and these efforts inspired me to try some fantasy beauty makeup. This is the first in the bunch, a faux pink zebra mask. :et me know what you think!

So of course most people saw the VMAs last night and Kanye West's hot mess behind. Ok I love the fact that we have the right to say anything we like as citizens of these here United States but do we really have to take this far. There is no excuse for rudeness around here and as many awards as Beyonce has won in there lifetime one loss is not gonna hurt her heart. I think part of the problem is alcohol at these type of functions. People need to keep it classy and stop being such hot messes in their drunken states. Well that's my little rant for the night and please check out my yt channel cause I have posted a few new vids. Later on I will post them here alright check you guys later!

Life Update!

Hey chicas! I know I have been MIA for a while now and I'm very sorry. Just to let you know I have made a series of videos covering all of my summer hauling and I should be posting them in a couple of days. Part of the reason I haven't updated in so long is I've been combating a flooding/mold problem that has invaded my closet. My room has been a mess and I haven't felt comfortable enough to sit down and edit my videos. In addition to these videos I have recorded 2 new tutorial videos so stay tuned for that. I promise that I will be updating more and sharing more cool stuff with. Hasta!

Book Reviews and Other Literary Random-ness

Ok so due to my terribly fast reading I have finished my 2 books that I bout yesterday at Target. So firstly, L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad, I was a little iffy about buying this book due to prejudices against the author, but I have to admit it was far from the worst book I've ever read. It was actually pretty good and fast paced with an extensive vocabulary mingled with OMGs and WTFs. It kind of mirrors LC's own life with reality tv stardom and back stabbing psuedo friends. Of course the antagonist is a gorgeous blonde who acts sweet but is really a fame-seeking publicity whore. If you like the drama filled world of The Hills or Gossip Girl you'll enjoy this novel.

I'm a huge fan of the HBO show TrueBlood and because of my lack of cable this summer I was inspired to quench my Sookie Stackhouse/vampire obsession by reading the book series that inspired the show. I have to tell you the books are amazing, dare I say more amazing than the show. After catching up with the second season of the show, I have to say that although I still love the Sookie/Bill relationship in the True Blood universe, the evolution of the Sookie/Eric relationship in the books is absolutely fabulous. The Eric from the books is just as ruthless and crazy as in the show, but you are actually able to see a sweetness that's not really apparent in the show. So to sum this all up I would recommend that you check out the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris. The first book fyi is called Dead Till Dark. Happy Reading Everyone!

Another Target Haul!

Hey guys today I'm just giving a little update on my makeup collection and the progress of my summer reading list so far. Ok so for like ever since the iPhone came out I have been lusting after it but since I was in contract hell with Verizon I wasn't able to get it, but I have finally been released from my contract imprisonment and decided to hop on the iPhone bandwagon. So I ended up getting the new iPhone 3G S 16 GB in black (it matches my new iPod classic). It gets here today by 4 pm and I'm so excited. So I went on an window shopping adventure at Target and got the bare minimum of makeup products, 2 new books, and the Gossip Girl season 1 box set.

Lickworthy Taylor Kitsch!

Taylor Kitsch is flaming haot. You might recognize tthis gorgeous face and bod from movies like The Covenant, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Snakes on a Plane. he is also one of the hot football guys from the tv show Friday Night Lights. I have been obsessed with Mr. Kitsch since I caught sight of him in The Covenant. This is one Canadian actor on the rise and he is filling one of the top spots on my jack list;)

Lickworthy Chris Evans Plus Target Haul!

I was watching Push last night and I remembered how sexy Chris Evans is. Not

New Segment!

Hi guys I don't really have any interesting things to update, but I have decided to add a ection to my blog! First off let me just tell you, when I think a celeb is hot and he's on my "freebie sleezie" list (would sleep with them given the opportunity), my catch phrase/code phrase is "I would lick their face." Now to the point, I am starting a weekly segment called "Lickworthy Faces!" Lol I know this is kinda wierd but I feel the need to have a male hotties on this makeup blog:) Stay Tuned!

Birthday Haul and Update!

Hi guys sorry about my hiatus but it was birthday on Thursday and before that I was working non-stop. Anyway so I finally saw Transformers: Rise of the Fallen and I must say it met all my expectations and more. It's really long but I didn't even notice cause it drew me in completely. I can't wait for it to come out on dvd. On my birthday I went to Chiptole(sp?) for my birthday dinner cause I love their shredded beef burrito bols. It was delicious. Then I got some makeup from Target, 3 lipsticks and a liquid liner. Friday I got my new iPod Classic in black and its gorgeous. Well I just wanted to give you guys this little update so you know I haven't forgotten about ya! Bye for now:)

Update and Target Haul!

Hi guys i haven't been checking here in awhile but I have a huuuge haul to document plus some updates in my life. So first off, I decided to forego the MAC haul this pay check cause I bought my mom a digital camera so I didn't have enough money to spread around. My pay check kinda sucked cause I went camping and had to take a lot more days off froom work than I usually do. Ok yesterday I went swimming and here in KC it was like over 100 degrees so yes I did get another burn but my lips didn't which was totally cool. Since my friend and I are gonna be swimming a lot now I bought some baby sunblock which I am not allergic to, yay! Ok just because I didn't buy MAC doesn't mean I didn't get any makeup because I have continued my Target haul. I decided to try out the Target exclusive Jemma Kidd makeup line, a UK brand. I got 5 lipsticks, 7 lipglosses, and 2 liquid liners. The lipsticks are so smooth and creamy, like butta, kinda the best since amplified cream from MAC. The lipglosses are a great dupe of MAC's dazzleglasses, they have really cool colors too. The liquid liners are kinda the best liquid liners you can find in any store outside of deparment or specialty stores great colors. I also got 6 Loreal Infallible lipsticks really great selection of colors. I also got 3 more Nicole by OPI polishes great colors.

Ok for other news I saw The Proposal with Ssandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It was a great comedy (effing hilarious) but the love story was a liitle under developed. The comedy was so great it is definitely a must see.

Target Haul!

Hi guys I'm popping in really quick to fill you in on the lipstick haul I got from Target. So in case you don't know, Target sales Boots N'7 Cosmetics, an English brand. I heard alot about this brand on youtube before I started this blog but didn't have the opportunity to check it out until i noticed Tharget sold it. So because I'm on a lipstick fact finding mission, I bought 5 Boots lipsticks.

Mineral Lip Lipstick in Latte Lover (reddish medium brown)
Mineral Lip Lipstick in Sticky Toffee (orange-ish brown)
Stay Perfect Lipstick in Bare (deep pinkish nude)
Sheer Temptation Lipstick in Smolder (sheer bright red, like venetian lustreglass from MAC)
Sheer Temptation Lipstick in Tempt (sheer medium pink)

All of the lipsticks are really creamy so they feel really nice on, but because of that I worry about their lasting time. A lipliner is kind of mandatory cause I think without the extra base it eill roam. The Sheer Temptation brand are really sheer, they remind me of the lustreglass versus the lipglass from MAC. I think this brand is good for basic lipcolors because their color selection is limited.

Update! Camping News and Haulage!

Ok guys its been almost a week since I got back from my camping trip, sorry about the late post. It's taken me this long to make this post cause my wifi at home has been acting up and the only high-speed connection available is at work. I thinks its kind of bad to spend the time you're sipposed to be working sitting on the computer blogging, but whatever you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, so about the camping trip it was fun, although there was things about it that sucked. For instance, my hair looked crazy for most of the time because my hair doesn't know how to rough it. I also lost a really cute shoe when I fell out of my canoe into the river. Oh and yes I do mean shoe singular because I only lost one but the other served no purpose so I had to chuck it. I also got a terrible sunburn when we went canoeing so I have been itchy since last Tuesday and for two days after that my lips were swollen four times their size. So I looked monstrous, but hey despite all this I had a good time. enough about the camping bad luck and on to my latest MAC haul. On the Saturday before I left to go camping, I made my latest MAC order and I got it Thursday. I bought nine eye shadow pans and a pro palette. I also got a free sample of Zoomlash mascara (I gave it to my mom). Other than my MAC haul I got 2 Max Factor lipsticks, but they don't really have names so I'll list the number for you guys.

Ok onto my summer reading, just in case you didn't know I am an avid reader (I read super fast). Ok so I love Chelsea Handler and have been dying to purchase her book, Are You There, Yodka? It's Me, Chelsea., ever since I heard her talk about it on her show, Chelsea Lately. It's just like her comedy on her show, supper random and hilarious. I would definitely say this is a must read for those who love chelsea Handleror those who like "classy" dirtyhumor. I'm also a huge fan of TrueBlood theHBO show about vampires. Ijust read the first and second books in the series that the show is based on. Tey are both brilliant, in my opinion, very good for those who likethe paranormal but in light doses with heavy measures of humor and romance. The books are by Charlaine Harris and the first two are Dead Until Dark and Living Dead in Dallas. I think the new season of the show just started, for all of you who have HBO [not me:(] check it out. Right now I'm reading Stori Telling by Tori Spelling. I find itsnot a big suprise it's a best seller, its suprisingly good, but it may just be because I'm a big Tori Spelling fan. Well I think this is the longest post I have ever made without pictures, lol, but anyway this is it fo now. Check ya lata!

Update!

Hey guys I'm back with some random blogging. Ok waht really got me on here today was after visiting nessasarymakeup.blogspot.com and seeing the New Moon trailer. Let me just tell you that the sequel looks so much better than Twilight. I'm not saying that I didn't like Twilight cause I did it just wasn't a good replication of the book. The quality of the new movie seems a lot better too, the picture is so much more crip that the first. Edward and Jacob look heavenly and in the trailer you actually catch sight of Jacob naked from the waist up! (six-pack alert!) Other news from my life, I'm going camping next Monday through Wednesday so there won't be any correspondence with you guys until probably Thursday or Friday. I also get paid this Friday so I will be making my MAC purchase that day too. Speaking of MAC I depotted all my extra shadow and filled the palette I just got so I'll be moving along to the next one. I'm hoping that Satin Taupe is back in stock cause I really want it, I'm crossing my fingers. I've been off work since Saturday so I'm completing the project of copying my mom's cds to itunes. It has taken me several days cause itunes won't recognize what the title or author of the song so I have to put in everything manually, which takes forever. Well I should finish this today sometime hopefully sooner than later. That's all for now, but in closing I offer a treat for you, the New Moon promotional poster.

Walmart Haul!

Hey guys I went to my local Walmart today and picked up a few things, since I was off today. I got 6 lipticks and 4 nail polishes. Oh and I finally got a Transformers on dvd just in time for the sequel to come out. I bought the novel dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, this is the book on which tv show Trueblood is based. Its the first book in a series of books so once I read this one I probably pick up the others. That's all for now!

Hi guys I back with another random update aout my life. I finally went to see Star Trek and I must say it was awesome! I missed a small part towards the end cause I drank half of a humongous coke and couldn't hold my bladder:( But since it was such a small part I don't thinks its that big a deal. Yesterday was payday for me and I got started on my summer shopping list today and purchased everything on the list except Satin Taupe because it was sold out., which is sad because it's a color I've wanted to own for QUITE awhile. I also stopped by Target today and picked up the first season of True blood on dvd (love this show!) as well a Rachel Zoe's book on fashion and a young adult novel called Poseur I'll let you know what I think of both of these. I saw the preview of Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe and they both look really good and I'm planning on seeing them when they come out.
