The Best Compliment a Girl Can Get.

"You're such a sweet person." You're so funny."  "You're so smart." Nope...the winner is: "I love all your clothes!"

Sure, being called smart and sweet is great... but as a woman, there's nothing like a compliment on my fashion sense!  Yesterday, after class, a girl came up to me and said my dress was cute and that she admires all my clothes.  Score! Then she said she thinks the charm bracelet my boyfriend gave to me was really pretty.  Double score for having a sweet boyfriend with good taste! My work has payed off.

YSL "Faux Cils" Review.

 
     I received this mascara as a freebie from Sephora.  YSL is a luxury brand, therefor my standards were high and although I like this mascara, it could be a little better.  YSL advertises this mascara by saying that it gives dramatic lashes in just one stroke, but it didn't give a "faux lashes" look like I was expecting.  The formula has good color pay off, lasts all day, defines and lengthens well, but really lacks in the volume department.  That wouldn't be a big deal if YSL didn't advertise Faux Cils as a voluming mascara.  It also has a slight fragrance to it, which took me by surprise.  It's not a bad smell, but why does mascara need to smell at all?

NARS "California" Review.

     I hadn't really ventured into the world of Nars eye shadows before this, mostly because of the high price tag. After all, I'm a broke-ass college student that admittedly steals lip gloss from Wal-Mart. However, Sephora recently had two shadows (California and Night Sun) for only $8! I purchased California, which the company describes as a "molten copper".  I passed on Night Sun since it was essentially yellow eyeshadow with gold glitter, which is not my style.

       California is a smooth and highly-pigmented eyeshadow with just the right amount of shimmer.  The color is a bronze color with some red undertones, "copper" is a good way to describe it.  I found it looks beautiful smudged into the crease of the eye.  If you're fair skinned like me, this color works best to accent other colors, opposed to wearing all over the lid because of the red undertones.

My one pet peeve is that not too long after buying it, the shadow broke up in the container.  Obviously, I still use it but it's a little more messy.  I'm not sure if this is characteristic to all Nars shadows, just this color, or if it's just my luck!

Latest Song Obession

Thanks to my cousin, this song is constantly stuck in my head.  The beat is great from getting glammed up to go out...or in my case getting ready for Computer Processing class.

Sephora is Like a Mini Christmas.

Sephora is like Christmas, actually more like Christmas mixed with Crack.  Receiving that package in the mail invokes a kind of excitement that you can only also get when you pop open a fine bottle of champagne. The free samples, point-perks, free gifts and constant promotions make Sephora impossible not to return to. Sephora is a candy store from grown women, with a gravitational pull like the mothership is calling you home. So, I really love Sephora, okay?
