The swatch is very true to the colour but the compact is too camera flash'd. The bottom picture is more accurate. [images borrowed]


Envy is on the far right: This stuff is amazing at $2 each! It's really shiny and creamy and in this case, bright green with more layers but it's even better than primer for making bright shadows stick.

Here's the rest of the look:




[Click images to enlarge - then you can see the shadows better :3]

Polished: Love & Beauty in Lavendar *pic heavy*

Left hand:
2 coats Love & Beauty Hearts & Roses in Lavendar ($2.80 at Forever21)
Topcoat: Sanofi Aventis

Photos taken with Kodak Easyshare M863 and Canon Powershot SX100IS (borrowed from my boyfriend - it is pretty much incredible and does everything my crappy compact doesn't)

This polish is so pretty. It's a very pretty and delicate lilac/lavendar colour with mini sparkles in it that really dazzle in bright sunlight. I'm easily amused. I wish it didn't look so grainy under inside lighting and bumpy though the topcoat smoothed everything out.


Bright bathroom lights




In case you're wondering, I had "SUBMIT PAPER BY 5 PM" written on my hand. I'm low tech like that.



Outside pictures: People were definitely staring as I took pictures of my hand. Blurry but finally you can see how beautifully glittery this polish is!

Inside again:


PS: Totally sorry for not posting recently :( Will make up for it! Pre-Spring Break craziness + a weekend full of fun and rest! ^____^ This is the week I've been waiting so long for here at last.

Forever 21 Swimwear: Dive In!

I'm all beat up from studying, but that's okay. The thought of Spring Break is not far off and pretty soon we'll all be able to wear cute clothes again! (I envy you warm-climate people beyond belief - should have gone to school in Cali!)

Forever21 just released the first part of their swimwear line and I already see things I like : ) Each piece is VERY inexpensive, even less than Target brands and much less than the bits of fabric and string found at high-end malls. Shop away!

Animal Instinct Monokini $19.80 - I'm craving this so much! I've always wanted a cute monokini but feared strange tan lines ... or tans altogether xD (Note 3.7.10 Galleria trip: I was surprised that a small wasn't even long enough for my body ... it was depressing. Need to exercise hardcore before squeezing into one of these xD They do seem to run a little smaller than their size states)

Electric Bikini $9.80 (also in hot pink, bright blue with matching bottoms) - I love bright bikinis! They stand out so well in the cool clear water :D

Funky Tribal Set (Top $10.80 Bottom $9.80)

Some laughable items:
Perfect find if you're joining a carny ... And if that we're enough you can have the dress version for $34.80 (Note 3.7.10 Galleria trip: Still couldn't believe they were selling this ...)

Pretentious Hipster Panda T-shirt hahaha. Photoshop skills much?

Oh well. Forever21 can't always make sense. But luckily most of the time it does, like with the fabulous new swimwear collection. Now all I need is the temperature to rise above freezing ...

Formspring + Spring Break Anticipation

Apparently Formspring is the next big thing, so I made one : ) You can ask me absolutely anything and it's 100% anonymous. It almost reminds me of Honesty Box on Facebook, but you're doing the asking and I'm giving you all the answers. Less shady, in my opinion xD

Go ahead! Questionbombs away!



Meanwhile, I just finished the LONGEST PAPER EVER for my Modern Chinese Lit class. It's a 5 essay question midterm, 4 pages per question = 20 pages. I feel like my brain has turned to mush after thinking thinking reading the stories over and over again, poring over my notes, typing for hours at the library. Pretty much a 2-day accomplishment. I'm pretty proud of myself.

Unfortunately I have an Organic Chemistry exam (on my 20th birthday D:) Wednesday and 9 pages worth of essays to write for Chinese Civilization by Friday.

T_____T

Luckily Spring Break starts next Saturday! I am making my list eagerly NOW. I want to eat Korean BBQ, go to art museums, watch Chuck and read books, restock up on necessities (like laundry detergent and toothpaste haha) and SLEEP. I was originally going to go to Disney World with my boyfriend because I have never been my whole life (D: !) but we figured planning in this last hectic week for bus/plane rides, finding a place to live, and purchasing tickets would be a crazy hassle. I also read a paper for my Cultural Anthropology class that described in gory detail all the control mechanisms they use in Disney World to maintain social order. I hate being told what to do gahhh xD Oh well! Mickey Mouse and the castle of my dreams for another time ~

PS: WATCH THIS VIDEO. Your heart will explode from how ridiculously cute this is!!! When I'm 90, I want to be just like them fu fu fu :3

Is Spring Break coming up for you guys too? Tell me all about your plans!
