This Was Short Lived
I put this blonde chunk in my hair. But it came out way to brassy. It was sort of okay when my hair was down, but when I put it up it was weird. Looked like I had all brown hair and then randomly blonde on the entire right side of my head. Oh well, back to normal now.

She makes all kinds of crafty things including scarves, jewelry, and other accessories. So if you're looking for you, a friend, or a great unique gift stop by!
If you're not familiar with Etsy, it's basically like ebay but only for people who make things, or have really unique vintage things to sell. And you can set up an account for free and buy things through paypal just like you would on ebay.
Happy shopping!

Makeup: Nail Polish: Top Fours
If I were to do a post on my entire nail polish collection...well it would probably take two days. LOL. So I decided to do my top four in each color category. Most of these are probably still available at the store, but if not you can check ebay or amazon. Or sometimes they have discontinued makeup stores online.
A lot of my nail polish are $1-$4 because I'm cheap like that. I have a few that were more, but yeah! And most of these polishes you can get a drugstores or Fred Meyer, unless otherwise specified.
Mint Sorbet: great spring/summer color! Dree: the perfect army/camo green! (available at Sephora or Ulta), Trendsetter: in between olive green and mustard yellow with a little gold shimmer! (available at Sally's or Ulta), Happy Ending this is a great grassy green with some gold flecks. Love it for summer.
Baby Doll: a nice subtle nudy pink, goes with anything! Unknown: this was part of an Ulta 2011 holiday pack, you might have to get it online now, Sparrow Me the Drama: I love this color! It's kinda in between pink and purple, but more on the pink side, so unique. (available at Sephora or Ulta) Fashion Neon: this is my go to summer color for toes! Soooo bright, the camera is not even showing how bright it is. Love love.
Oledia: this reminds me of the yellow brick road in wizard of oz! Solar Power: this is a great bright yellow with a little iridescent sheen to it. (available at Sally's and Ulta) Pastel Yellow: self explanatory (part of their pastel collection available on amazon), Patrika: a rich goldenrod yellow, great for fall!
Nail Junkie: sooooo much glitter! Slap on three coats an your entire nail is glittery! Pastel Blue: self explanatory (part of their pastel collection available on amazon), Bam Blue Zled a very creamy periwinkle blue, love it for spring. Let's Get Lost: beautiful and rich medium blue. -also the name is great...twilight song!-
Courteny Orange: a very nice summer color for toes. Rich, shimmery orange. Melon of Troy: this is kind of a shimmery coral color. (available at Sephora and Ulta) Pastel Orange: self explanatory (part of their pastel collection available on amazon), Outrageous Orange: another great summer color. A lot like caution sign orange! (discontinued)
Dream On; wonder matte fushia, Dress for a Moment: love this, a very pretty lilac, Unknown (part of Wet Seal's 2011 holiday collection) I'm a Belieber: love this! just a nice medium violet (available at Sephora and Ulta)
Sidewalkers: wonderful and subtle medium to light gray. How's it Snowing: beautiful burst of silver and black glitter! Silverwear: pretty dark silvery gray color. Platinum silver: wonderful rich chrome color!
Makeup: Eyeshadow: Coastal Scents
So it is very possible that I will never need eyeshadow again. LOL. This is so great and it was only $18 with shipping! You can get it here. There's 88 colors and this is the standard shimmer palette. They have alot more and it's made by the exact same company that makes the 88 colors costal scents, but about $8 cheaper. And their shipping is a flat rate, so if you get more than one palette it's a really good deal.
PS. there's been no editing done to this picture, and the camera is making it look pretty true to real life.
PPS. You can totally see the outline of my head. LOL
Makeup: Eyeshadows: Prestige
So all of these eye shadows are from the brand prestige which can be found at Ulta or Fred Meyer. I am not sure where else. I really like all of them! I would have to say that my favorites are blossom, golden retriever, curry, and big sky. Some of them are really pigmented, and some are not as much, but they're all pretty good for only being $2
So I love all of these. The Laguna is a little light, but it nice when you do it wet!
These two duos are actually my least favorite. I have to layer them on alot for the colors to show up, so I probably wouldn't recommend buying them.
And I really love all of these. The ebony was just one swipe. WOW. Its sooo dark. And I really like love and blossom together!

I love all these colors alot. They are super pigmented and go on really nice.
