^their generic thing that i could've emailed out to you guys.. but.. figured i'd post up on here instead :) not that many of you make online purchases anyways. it's pretty cool though. so so so go sign up!

as for makeup.. i did go and buy some :| i was mostly tempted by the fact that urban decay had a 30% off sale.. but i didn't buy all the ones that i wanted to (even though katie recommended that the sale was awesome and that i should).. i was browsing another website (see link below) and she recommended looking at NYX.. so i did. $16 vs $5.. heeeeello NYX! i hope you are awesome, because your price is awesome. so i substituted as many colors as i could but still ended up getting 2 UD ones, just 'cause the colors didn't quite translate over.. but i DID save myself a shitload of money :) so.. woot for reading up at other places before purchasing! 

i'm fairly certain i found it on http://changingfacesbymay.blogspot.com/

she's a make-up artist and one of her earlier posts was about being cost effective.

i bought most of the colors on the left side except for UD's "chains" and "baked". sort of wish i'd gotten "gash" but, ah. too late now. at least UD has an awesome return policy so if i somehow don't like one of the other two colors, i can return one and get it :) sweeeet. i do have a red but it's a BLUSH red (from MUFE)--aka BRIIIIGHT.. so.. :( boo. i just realized i have no idea what NYX's return policy is but.. meh. at $5 an eyeshadow, it's not too bad at all! 

i think i did a fairly good job at matching colors (at least from my monitor).. minus the two i mentioned before |:

hopefully they turn out as well as i hoped. i also ordered some REALLY cheap stuff off AVON.COM, listed under the "lowest prices ever" section.

- glimmersticks waterproof eyeliner: midnight blue, blackest night, smokey grey ($3.49/ea)

- glazewear liquid lip color: darling pink ($1.99)

- ultra color rich lipstick: sparkling rich ruby ($2.99)

- true color eyeshadow quad: blushing raisins, fresh cut greens ($4.99/ea)

granted, i haven't heard of these companies before.. read SOME reviews.. seemed pretty decent.. plus they were cheap :)

ANYWHO!

today's FOTD (finally figured out what it stood for.. face of the day!).. or should i say EOTD (eyes of the day) since i don't do the rest of my face.

WARNING!! VERY SLOPPY |: 

the boyfriend wanted to hurry and go to UPS (plus i had to return a cardigan that i'd gotten from forever21.com.. i couldn't stand the elbow patches! they're so weird! plus it was shorter than i wanted PLUS i'd gotten the awesome black one that i LOVEE which was basically half price.. blahblahblah).. then as i hurried.. he ended up not being ready either. grrr.. 

USED

- color revolution's eye primer.... i think this company went out of business :| i bought it from a kiosk at some mall i went to with my mom.. a couple years ago. never really used it.
- UD "gunmetal" (dark grey)

- MAC "shroom" (highlight)

- maybelline "silver lining" (silver)

- maybelline "linen" (all over lid before any other colors)


i dunno if my primer's weird.. i usually don't use any. but i definitely had a harder time trying to blend it.. then again.. i was rushing like mad. so.. who knows?

hey! my eyelashes look pretty long :) maybe the boyfriend's rubbing off on me... hahhaa. he has gorgeous eyelashes! :( i want to steal them.

I LOVE THIS SCARF! and the cardigan.. that you can't see.. it's the black thing, hahaha. i wear it practically every time i go out now.. which is really bad. talk about favoritism. oh well. ANYWAY.. since there was that big fire last night and i was so tired of getting ash and other random shit in my eyes.. i was wrapping the scarf around my head, TSHIRT NINJA STYLE (ha ha) and.. accidently found a new way to wear it, which is perfect. it covers my chest, still keeps my neck warm--somewhat--etc. it's nice! pretty basic. maybe i'll put up a tutorial if i'm SUPER BORED even though i'm sure none of you care.. OR.. already know how to do it. 

i'm a slow one :| what can i say.

at least the light's pretty nice :) i heart window light! i have a weirdo almost rembrant on my face. shweeeet.

i also need a haircut :| and still need to find a place to get my eyebrows done. ah, ah. how much i've changed since elementary school :|
