Hair Color (PICTURE HEAVY)

I get bored of my hair color VERY EASILY
my hair color has been all different shades of brown, blonde, and black .
When it's light, I want my dark hair back, when it's dark, I always have the urge to go and get highlights. I also can't decide what fits me well, what looks the best on me .

dark brown:


highlighted (my senior pic... loooonng time ago)


carmels and golds?




blonde


and BLACK



another thing that made me think hair color was seeing the Fekkai hair color system when I was looking around Sephora.
I was watching the demo, and the hair color is made up of all sorts of butters, leaving your hair super soft and more moisturized than even before you colored it. THAT definitely intrigued me
and if I were to try it, I'd want to try the dark brown or medium brown

this is the color chart that's on sephora's website

BUT what I'm kinda hesitant about is coloring over my stylist's (heather) work! I ALWAYS feel bad when I color over her work, because I always end up going back to her anyway and for some weird reason I think that she MIGHT think that I colored over it because I didn't like it or something, when actually I really do love my hair and that's why I always go back to her. Although her services are VERY pricey, especially since she got promoted at the salon. 

Ladies, if you find a hair colorist that colors your hair exactly the way you imagine you want it to be, STICK WITH THEM. I found my colorist, I still have yet to find a person that CUTS my hair perfectly.

BUT anyway! So I don't know if I want to go ahead and color it which would be 30.00 if i try the Fekkai color, or just get my roots done by Heather, which would be 100 something. BUT I also don't know if I even want to color my hair darker again, or leave my highlighted hair the way it is. I don't have a recent picture of myself, just my youtube videos...

I DON'T KNOooOOooW


oh yeah, the camera i want is on sale right now for 179.99 at bestbuy!
I asked mi madre and she gave me the typical answer "go tell your dad" =/

i'm gonna ask madre for a new camera for my bday

I hate the sony digital camera that we have. In all of the pictures, everyone's face would just be really really pale looking, even when I'd adjust the settings and try out different modes, either our faces looks white or yellow. I've had good experiences with Canon though, we had a canon before the sony (little adrian broke it). So I'm going to ask la mia madre for the canon powershot sd790IS.



i looked up pictures on amazon of photos that owners of this camera have taken, and they look pretty good. Another feature that I like is the color accent doo dad.

here are some of the pictures that had me sold:





some girl, NO PALE FACE, NO YELLOWISH COLORING

yeah!

I need some

Short Sleeved Cardigans!




I haven't been working much these past few weeks because

1. I haven't been scheduled very many days because of budgeting at work
2. my availability was kinda sucky due to school &
3. I didn't want to work very much during the school year anyway

so right now I can't really go on my major shopping sprees and I always have to think twice about if i really need something, but the answer is always NO I DON'T NEED IT, so then i have to ask myself "okay do i really really really really want this, or do i already have something like this" because usually the stuff i gravitate towards to are things that I already have (because I LIKE IT duh lol) and then I end up with ten thousand versions of an item that is BASICALLY the same, and that goes for clothes, as well as makeup. Who knows how many ruffly white tops i have, black long cardigans, and who knows how many NUDE colored lipsticks I have. So I need to stop that.

I also need to pay off some stuff like my macy's card and credit card. The transaction didn't go through on time so NOW for both the bills for next month, I have to pay 75.00 for each card. so with this next paycheck i will pay one of them, and then the next paycheck i will pay for the other...

[sorry, i'm just getting my financial thoughts all out, trying to sort out things, i really should make this private because no one cares but eh...]

I also need to make a payment for school, that's another 30.00

I actually NEED new sandals so that I will need to get with my next paycheck...

I really want to go to the CCO but i don't NEED any more makeup FOR NOW and I should probably wait for giftcards from my bday or something.

I need to buy a present for my best friend (her bday is a day after mine, cool huh [okay that sounded nerdy])

okay, so I guess I really can't go shopping with this next paycheck, BOO!

what am i going to do with myself for the next 2 weeks...

{edit} I forgot, I need a mirror, because with my vanity, I can't get close to the mirror to be able to see what I'm doing, FYI i am extremely BLIND! I can't see past 3 inches away from my face... horrible.

Birthday Look

I received the ULTA ad a couple weeks ago in the mail. As I was flipping through, I came across a picture for the Stila cosmetics, and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to recreate that look for my birthday. It is gorgeous!

I'm a little confused that the products aren't even listed online, but only in the ads. Hopefully I find the products at the actual store. I was at sephora last week and I didn't see any of the products, and at sephora's website, they didn't even have the collection listed. I also tried looking at Stila's website to see if maybe they had the picture and list what they used on the model, but the site is down (probably because Stila is rethinking their financial stuff). But anyway, in the Ulta ad it says that it's Stila's Summer Collection inspired by Bollywood. It sucks that in the ad they don't tell you in the fine print what the model is wearing so I'm going to have to figure that out on my own, and that means I probably don't even need to buy anything from the collection either. I can try to use whatever I have. I'm guessing there's gold in there? because the palette of the collection has gold in it? lol.
smoked out with a brown??? Maybe you can tell me what you think it is.

So since the picture is NO WHERE on the internet, I had to go to the browse ad on ulta's site and then do the whole print page thing and save it to get the picture. That explains that weird arrow in the picture.

here it is:



any suggestions on what eyeshadows i could use? probably mac shadows since that's mostly what i have?




and if you're curious, this is the stuff from the collection

update

I always have this constant yet sudden urge to go shopping for both clothes and makeup but mostly makeup even though the last thing that I need is more makeup. I haven't been to the CCO in awhile so I really want to go back and see if they have anything new, last time I went they didn't have anything. The time before that they had a whole bunch of stuff that I wanted and have been wanting for the longest time, but all those are gone =(

& even though I was at the mall of america last week, I didn't get very much, a dress, jeans, and accessories...
Speaking of which, I found my birthday dress-- it is a pretty good dupe of the bcbg dress I posted in my other blog. It's the origami dress from forever21. it was only 27.80. I got it kinda early just in case i can't find anything the weekend before my bday. If i do end up finding an even better dress closer to my birthday, whatever dress i don't wear, i'll be wearing to my grandparent's anniversay party that will be in July.

So, since i didn't get very much, the next time I go shopping, it'll be more summer/spring clothes and whatever.
Gladiator sandals
more skinny jeans
more flats
a few dresses
tops, etc.

here are some outfits from forever21 that best describes my style. I usually gravitate towards bohemian, rock, and vintage styles as well as classic looks that consists of a long tee, jeans, and a cardigan. I love black, i love bows, I love cameos, I love pearls, gold, BOOTS. yeah lol


Also, I am REALLY REALLY REALLY excited about this.
I just spoke to Yasumi of Worship @ the House of Blues via email about a necklace. I saw a couple necklaces of her pearly girly collection and i was IN LOVE! I had that type of necklace pictured in my head for years, and i stumbled across her blog and I was just amazed because THERE IT WAS! She doesn't make duplicates, so I asked if she could make me my own pearly girly. She responded to my email so quickly! She told me that she was working on a new pearly girly this weekend and she described to me what it would include, and it just sounded PERFECT. I can't wait to see what she comes up with! and i am super super excited. It's not even made yet but i am just super excited to get my hands on it and wear it. I think Yasumi is amazing and super talented and I have a feeling that I will be buying more pieces from her in the future. There's just something cool about knowing that you are the only person in the whole wide world that has that one necklace or bracelet. You can tell that she puts in a lot of effort in her jewelry, and takes much pride in what she does. If you haven't done so, go to her blog and see for your self over at Worship @ the House of Blues

But anyway, I have a couple more weeks left. Things are getting intense. Tomorrow I have a math quiz, Friday is the math test, in Italian I have a quiz this next monday, oral exam on thursday, and the final is on may 12th. My anatomy final is on monday, may 11th, but my math final is also that same day, same time, so I am going to have to ask to take my math final on a later day, (i hope i can!) I AM VERY STRESSED OUT. thinking about the dates alone stresses me out. But i need to FOCUS, get it together, stop with the online shopping while trying to do hmwk. I'm also getting things set and ready for nursing school. i'll FINALLY be going to nursing school this next fall. All i have to do now take my cpr class, and after i'm done with my finals I can finally start working as a nursing assistant since my availability will be better. I've been certified since last september and I haven't even been working as an NAR =P. and in a few weeks after all is done I can start doing more vidss on the days that i have nothing to do.

so thats my update...

ta ta for now

just can't stop myself

I had no intention of buying anything, but when i went to the coastal scents website to check out the colors they had for their new hot pots, i saw that everything was 15% off up until midnight. Now, I know 15% isn't really that much, but it kinda is when the products on there are already as cheap as 5! So I took advantage of that discount and my sister and I combined our stuff together so that we had a total of $100 so we got free shipping.

She got the stuff that I told her to get a lOoOOoOng time ago, like the 88 palette, and I don't remember what else she got but all i know was that it was about 70 dollars worth of things because I got about 30 dollars worth of things.

But I bought a few of the hot pot shadows, a black gel liner, and a couple of the coastal scents smacks (i think that's what they were called? too lazy to go back to the website to double check but whatever)

I will definitely do a review on all of them.
I am very curious about the lipglosses and the hot pot shadows.
I hope they're pigmented because nothing is worse than wasting your money on a product that you end up not liking. That's the one problem i have with drug store brands, you can't try them out!

Walgreens has buy one get one free on revlon cosmetics, so I went and got me one of those creme lipglosses? Don't like it, way too shear, if i wanted a shear lipgloss I would of just got a clear gloss. It didn't do anything for me, so i thought well maybe I can use it to tone down bright lipsticks.... nope, so shear that it didn't even do that. The color that I got was "Slip into PInk", so I can't say if any of the other colors are as shear but I don't want to waste my money to try it out. But for my free product along with that purchase, I just got a cream eyeshadow quad, in skinlights? what ever the neutral quad one is called... sorry my laziness right now is making me a really sucky explainer/blogger lol but i think most of u will know what i'm talking about so its okay lol ..

but okay, when my order comes in, I will try out all the stuff and have a review on them and a video perhaps.

I have to go to work tomorrow (technically today) at 6:30 AM. Not looking forward to it, but looking forward to getting paid, so i can buy more makeup (jk). So i should go do my laundry and get some sleep...

At this moment, I am also in the middle of uploading a video that I recorded a couple months ago. It was supposed to be for a collaboration that Kelsey better known as Kelzcasttv on youtube. We were gonna do prom looks for our collabo but we are both really really really busy with school so eh. But I thought it would have been a waste if i never post this up so I just cut out the parts where I talked about me and kelsey and so it might be a little choppy?

but yeah. ANWAY

GOOD NIGHT
