Backfire!

My plan to go window shopping and forget about it backfired. I was logged into Sephora while window shopping. "Come back," says Sephora. "Gimme yo monnayyy!"

Window Shopping

Image
Yesterday's gift card shopping has made my money start burning holes in my purse/wallet/bank account. I've got this sudden urge to BUY STUFF. So today I'm "window shopping" at a few websites. Forever 21 total: $92.52 The China Glaze Dress Me Up and Sugar pallette are gifts for Tiffasaurs. Yes, I'm buying gifts while window shopping. Sue me. Cherry Culture total: $150.69 OCC total: $160. I really want these! I think it'd be so much fun to experiment and make my own color combos. Grand Total: $403.21 Of all of the above, the one that I'm most likely to do is the OCC purchase. I will likely purchase all of those except the pinks... NSFW, Triptych, Feathered, Clear, Tarred, RX, Traffic and Iced, (in that order) With those I can make pretty much any color. If I'm unable to make a perfect Anime, though I'll purchase that. I think if I add a drop of RX to anime, I could make Pretty Boy. And a drop of Iced might make Y

Kohl's Haul!

This is how I started out the day. Levi skinnies, plain black tee, furry vest, and OTK boots. I saw this Vera Wang Princess skirt and snapped it up immediately, even though I'm not quite sure how I'll style it yet. I just threw together a couple outfits with a few things I had in the fitting room. This IZ Byer top (pictured above, tucked) seemed a little boring at first, but I'm a big fan. The loose waistline, banded at the hips, and sparkles! Who doesn't love a little shine? This top... it was hard to decide what to do with it. I love the high low hemline, I love the color, I love the studded collar, and I love that it's sheer. But it just felt a little too billowy. I may go back and try it on again. .   . I love the neck detail on this top, but it just did not work out. The back was all weird, couldn't get a pic :( Love this sweater ! It's perfectly simple except for the studded skull on the front. Which, interestingly enough, m

Stargirl's Adventures in Hair Color, part 72

Image
I actually had a very decent hair day today despite a terrible start. I arrive at work with wet hair (had some smoothing product already in it) under a beanie and huge sunglasses on to obscure my makeup less face. I did my makeup and left my hair in a beanie for a couple hours. The ends of my hair, all scrunched up in the bottom of the beanie, ended up curling. I didn't toss it in a pony tail until I got home, though.  My sick, sad attempt at foiling. For my bangs I just clipped them and vowed to avoid them with the hair dye.   K-Swiss said I look scary. I made him take a couple pictures while I finished up. Everything rinsed out! I wasn't sure about the bangs until this moment. After I rinsed it out and combed my hair, I already loved the look. The ends are pretty dry now, no surprise. I need a trim anyway. There are four small chunks of red hair through my hair, not including the bangs. The bangs. The pièce de résistance. I LOVE them! They were a s

Dragon Age: 30 Questions

Spoiler, spoiler, spoilery. If you haven't played Dragon Age, and intend to, please don't read this. There are some gut wrenching spoilers below. Don't say I didn't warn you! And, yes, this is terribly nerdy and tumblr-y. Forgive me. I don't care. I don't have ANYONE to talk with about my play through (K-Swiss is playing ME2 and does not intend to play DA:O when he's done. Jerk.), so I need to spill a little. I'm right now trying to decide whether I should buy DA2 and play that, or play Baldur's Gate, which I already own -- K-Swiss bought me the GOG.com D&D pack over X-Mas -- but have yet to play. Speaking of games I acquired over Christmas, I promised Tiffers I'd do a Christmas haul (she was excited until she discovered that it was comprised solely of video games) so I might do that later this weekend. Favorite Dragon Age game -  I’ve only played Origins and Awakening (and the other DLC). I loved Origins best, though I
