I keep having backlogged entries that I have every intention on getting to or wrapping it up but I never quite do...

I can finally say I've completed the first batch of commissions so far and am waiting to get materials and things situated for the next batch of commissions. School and full time work keeps me plenty busy as well as my brothers wedding next weekend.. What speech. Am I suppose to give one out?  Well fuck.



Super Smash for the DS just came out and I'm contemplating on getting it. I might end up picking it up next weekend to play during the wedding. Yes. I'm an adult. But I can't decide between that or mario kart /:

I dont want to jump on the mario hype train and not be able to really play it...==lll I was really into Harvest Moon but I barely woed the husbando before IDK what happened....life happened...

I finally allowed myself some retail therapy the last week and boy did I do some damage...well not as badly as I thought considering everything I got was on a bargain or on sale...

First up is the Kyoto jersey style shirt from Cotton On, it was originally about $16 but they went down to $11. Not bad. Very nice print, the shirt feels nice too. Pretty thick cotton and the print is heavy heavy *heavy* plastisol ink OvO it almost feels like fabric but its definitely screen printed on...nice quality. Wasn't expecting to find this at Cotton On that I went back and got *another* shirt in the same style. Instead it was black on black leather print


I was running out or low on foundation and had to pickup another one, my HG foundation that I keep coming back to and has been proven a tried and true subject for me is the MUF Matt Velvet.
I know some people prefer the Kat Von D foundation for heavy matte coverage but its just /too/ heavy for me. Yeah trust me, I wear MEHRON foundation for cosplay and have worn Mac as well so I'm USED to heavy foundation but I don't exactly need a cast on my face every day :x

The lipstick was $7!! I got the shade Ritual, it was the only other shade left on the sales bin that I could see my self wearing, i was really hoping to pickup something more on the darker range but this is a very wearable peachy nude pink color :o a higher end version to my favorite go to Revlon 'Demure' if you needed a shade comparison.




I'm suppose to be saving money since I keep dropping so much on school...even now I know I need to still get a 2nd book for one of my sketch class and I really *really* dont want to considering this class is not even apart of my major /: and the last book as a rental alone cost me about close to $80....==lll I know people say you can alway resell it at the end of the semester but yoooo to buy that book was over $100..and the second book I'm sure is gonna be roughly about the same...

I dont exactly have that line of credit to use on it. I do and I dont. LOL....like really, I'd rather buy All Saints. It will happen once I can justify it lolol aka the weather needs to get colder dammmit


speaking of saving money, I came home and felt quite guilty after doing my splurge, considering I also ordered quite a few items previously before my trip to the mall...and I could have sworn theres gotta be more product in the bottle than I thought I had used up. So I went in and did some surgery on the bottle and low and behold. I was able to extract atleast another 3-4 months worth of foundation. A little goes a long way OvO and I was able to extract 2 containers worth of product :D happy me, so I returned the foundation so I could justify buying the 2nd shirt and then some ahaha.....


Finally got kicks for school coz no one wants to be a short potato and IDK maybe I'm tired of being a lazy potato going to school ahaha so we gotta /try/ and put some effort. Its really tiring and unmotivating when you got so much to carry and its  so hot walking through campus QwQ I got no one to impress but myself??? I plan on adding studs to them eventually lol....

Originally I hadn't intended on buying new shoes coz I bought creepers a few months back (about last year) and turned out my creepers are about half a size too big and I bought them at a size 7 from Demonia QwQ so they just keep slipping off the back and I just canttt I even tried padding it up on the back to secure more space but nope. So in the end its just a pain walking around in them but I still love my creepers, I just cant see myself wearing them if I'm walking around alot coz its a pain to try and keep them up ugh and well these were a steal for under $20! 

 

Face masks coz stressed QwQ the chocolate strawberry one is so fun especially if you really like chocolate ahaha. The dead mask one smells amazing oAo I've been using it almost everyday which I know you kinda technically really don't need to...but man I'm always up late doing homework anyway and stressing out and face breaking out ugh ffff.

My days and nights are seriously flipped when I stay up late or pretty much do an all-nighter Wednesday nights before my classes on Thursdays which thankfully enough starts at 2:30 but wow, can you just imagine lol everytime I get up it feels like it should be 8am!??! ahaha Always a mess. Always running q.q;; and the crap I carry is just so annoying and heavy. So done. I decided I'm just gonna go ahead and carry a roller bag suitcase and shove everything in there ahah instead of trying to be cool and carry evrything on my back or by hand. Ugh. Struggle is too real. Thought about buying a cart but why bother when I.... can just suitcase it up....LOL???





I finally got my hair to a happy place where I can finally see the purple in it. It has been a battle, I've had red hair for what feels like forever, I always go back to it and have always played with the idea of purple hair but as we all know, its not an easy color to achieve without having to bleach the crap out of your hair and trying to get there from red is just no no nope. And considering I work in an office setting I can't quite go ALL out purple nor do I want to loose  anymore inches bleaching my hair...QwQ...so I decided to go with a reddishbrown purple color.

My hair color base was brownish red and some areas were lighter due to the bleach. Clairol released a new line of color called FLARE that you can get from your beauty supply shop or Sallys. I piccked up vol. 30 developer and the color 2VV since I wanted to go darker for the fall. I also picked up purple extensions (which you can see on the photos) for days when I feel I need more of a pop of color in my hair. So far so good, the color hasnt faded significantly. Remember to wash your hair in cold or lukewarm water. Not looking forward to color maintenance come winter ahaha.....dry shampoo is your best friend. I will be making a post later on different color dye depositors and dry shampoos I've tried in the past...(if I can ever get around to them. I'm sure their all just sitting in draft mode)


 

I feel weekly or on a bi weekly basis I end up going to the art store and the cosmetology store next to it ==;; I keep buying markers for school. Mostly colorless blenders ): but them BOGO deals yooo Not a big big fan of Manic Panic even though everyone swears by it, I personally prefer Jerome Russel PUNKY, its a few dollars less than Manic Panic (under $10!) and I think you pretty much get the same amount of product in it but I feel the pigmentation sticks better. Atleast its great if you want really vibrant color. I feel Manic Panic, though great I feel it works better if you have bleached bleached blonde white hair and greater for their lighter pigments...

For a while I've been using ION Colorbrites since Sallys always has them on sale but its /too/ thick that its like toothpaste consistency and it can get annoying trying to spread it on your hair....
I wish Joico  color paks was easier to attain or even Prvana.


but at the end of the day I prefer tub colors vs tube ones since I feel I can scrape every single drop of color from the tub ones and reusable containers too.



Been making some grub grub grub IDK I've been craving pancakes lately qwq so I've probably made pancakes like twice already this week...
Cinammon Banana Almond milk pancakes OvO I also use vanilla protein powder in it huehue
I use to really dislike pancakes for a while but idk...sometimes you just miss that???


Been such a long last few weeks and remember how I said no more splurging or something. IDK I've been *kinda* good oAo and these were a steal. I paid under $60 US dollars including shipping for these babies. So so so happy since I've wanted Westwood studs before. I'm normally not a big fan of them since they tend to stab the side of my head when I lay on my side aha...IDK I sleep in my earrings coz ain't nobody got time to put new ones in every morning...and I can't quite sleep with the ones that dangles and they also kinda do stab the side of your head to but...
I might just have to remove these and place them back on every morning...
oh the price of vanity OwO;;

I also have something else coming in the mail that I am quite excited about...I was going to wait to get paid for my commissions before I went on this spree but seriously everything was pretty much on sale so why nottttttt. I also started on a Sheryl cos from Macross Frontier but quickly placed it aside after drafting the pants...I need to hit the gym more orz and really wait to get paid from my commissions and draft the top before I commit to buying the wig(s) and fabric for the costume...

I also have quite a bit of designs I really want to work on but alas. Trims and fabric isn't cheap. I know I'll be hitting the Fashion District soon too so we'll see if I have time to go there before the clinic appointment OvO;;

Also, has anyone been keeping up with Worlds??? OMG....
