Update/Feature!

First a rant on my computer- IT SUCKS. It's a Toshiba tablet laptop from '04 which makes it 84759834 in computer age years. Really. The "m" key doesn't work half the time, it's EXCRUTIATINGLY slow, and general FAIL issues, including multiple blue screens of death.

needed that out of my system. NOW I got my sephora stuff! I was so excited! General infor on whaat I got and a rating on *-***** stars.

Stila Sheer Color SPF15 Tinted Moisturizer in Fair ****
I am rediculously pale all year round, and this actually fit my skin tone quite nicely! I don't like foundation due to how it makes my skin look bumpy, bigger pores and such. I don't have that issue with this and it makes my skin feel nice and soft :) I have a little bit uneven skin color, but this fixed it up quite nicely. It was a tad expenseive for me, it the price was $5-$10 cheaper, then it'd be five stars.
buy here!





Stila Lip & Cheek Stain in Cherry Crush ****
See the first tube on the left? I got that one. I really like it. It's sheer enough to look natural, and if you want a cute natural look you probably want this color. It. smells. DELICIOUS. But it doesn't taste as good, sadly. It's also a little hard to apply to lips, as it can get a tad messy. Cheek stain- it gets five stars. Lip stain- it gets three stars, averaging to four. Still a tad expensive, but this one's worth it.
buy it here!






TheBalm TimeBalm Concealer ($18) *****
I originally heard of this in sephora's book with their top products, and this was in the top ten. I got this in Lighter than Light. Let e tell you, I have horrible darkness under my eyes. They are dark enough to be considered a sub-space dimension. They're that bad. The other concealers that I've tried are ok but they only keep my dark circles at bay for a little while. This baby got them covered quite nicely. When it's in the little pot thingy it smells a little odd but nothing happened to my eyes so I'm not concered. I tried using a brush to apply it but really, your ring finger works best at spreading, blending, and overall applying. Overall, a great product.

I got this great book from the library recently- 50's Fashion: Vintage Fashion and Beauty Ads, Ed. Jim Heimann. I've really been into the fifties lately, and I'm working on a fifties-inspired dress.

This dress is absolutely amazing. It's made by this girl whose profile I stumbled upon on burdastyle.com. She was the featured member yesterday, and you really need to see her other stuff. MELONHEAD'S PROFILE!

Valentino, J Crew and Wunderkind



















I was browsing through my style.com app and to my utter surprise there was J CREW which happens to be one of my favorite brands EVER. And I love this collection. It gives mr a cute Parisienne vibe. With a smattering of English breakfast. Yumm.

These red carpet looks from Valentino fall 2010 for some reason reminded me of Christian Siriano's work from project runway.






I like the pink one better because the black one's neckline reminds me of little house on the prairie, especially with the loose sleeves bound at the wrist.

I've never seen anything by Wunderkind. And then I had a study class where I had nothing to do. And I saw awesome.








Pretty pretty pretty. I liked the pants on the second picture because they look like they were rinsed in a mixture of tea and the dirty water you get cleaning brushes after painting. I like the effect.



IT'S POCHAHONTAS.




Ok if you haven't heard the song "Marsh King's Daughters" by Eisley, go to iTunes and get it. NOW. Before I come over there and make you. This is what I see the marsh girl wearing and looking like.

So basically school sucks. It sucks your life away. I mean I love my school but hey, it's still school. That's why I haven't updated as much. I will post outfits and a few reviews of sephora stuff I bought (Stila tinted moisturizer and lip/cheek stain as well as the famed TheBalm TimeBalm concealed) I SWEAR I WONT PROCRASTINATE.
