Happy New Years

Happy New Years Eve guys 

( Happy New Years to where it's already a new year aha) 

I know I haven't updated this much woops! But I thought I'd take this chance to blog about the things I've learned in the year 2011.

MINI HAUL: CHARLOTTE RUSSE&my prize

I think charlotte russe has become one of the stores I always end up visiting no matter if I need something or don't. Yesterday I went out purchased a few things from Charlotte and one lipstick from MAC. I seriously needed a great nude color in my collection however, at the last minute I was debating between Russain Red and Honey Love.. total opposites right? No worries lol I'm gonna go pick up Russian Red soon enough, it's such a perfect warm red!

Also earlier this week I won a giveaway Laura was having on her blog! Please do check her out, she does amazing review and FOTD. I received an Anastasia Brow Kit <3 So excited!  Here's her link

2 Scarves from Charlotte and 1 Gold Bracelet along with a pair of Sunglasses

 

 

FOTD: Bold Lips

Eye candy's at the moment

I've been contemplating about what I should write about on my blog for my next post, its been almost a week and I haven't updated you guys, I'm sorry ): I've been busy with school and trying my best to get into the school spirit (& I finally have! Wohooo) LOL - I love school supplies.. sigh when I was a kid my favorite isle in the store would be the....STATIONARY SECTION. lol


Anyway, I thought I'd share with you guys what I've been eyeing in stores recently, things I want and will get in the near future once I start working !

Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV - $64.00

Small Haul: Accessories from Charlotte Russe

Its time to accessorize ! Today after watching Colombiana starring Zoe Saldana (which is a great movie! ) I stopped by the mall nearby to find a good "Statement" type necklace.. and luckily Charlotte Russe had a few.

I really like Charlotte compared to Forever 21 only because their prices are more affordable, especially their accessories. I stopped at Forever 21 first and they have a great selection of pretty sprarkley glittery rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets however I wanted to see if I can find anything similar in Charlotte, and I did.

• They're having a sale, 3 (rings, bracelets, earrings) for 10$ and each and EVERY necklace is on sale for....5$

Easy tips on how to help make up lasting all day

I know it's late to do a post about this ( summer is coming to an end and that is when most of us want our foundation/makeup lasting all day ) But recently I bought myself a NARS SHEER GLOW foundation (it isn't suppose to be long lasting) and I usually purchase something that lasts long like Revlon ColorStay or MAC pro longwear. But since I purchased something that isn't made for the longevity of a product, I thought I'd share my tips on how I go about the day without my make up budging. & yes this goes for make up and not only foundation.

Starting with face, make sure to moisturize, I don't know how much I can put this forward but it is necessary when applying make up or anything on the face to moisturize, especially if you have dry skin.

Wanna go nude?

Hey guys! Have you ever felt that the nude lipstick you picked up just seems to make you look dead? Or it just doesn't seem to work for you? Well I have a few tips that I myself found to work for me.

Firstly, don't confuse nude lips to making it seem like you have none at all, just allow it to brighten up your face or town down any eye look that you have going on. Such as when wearing heavy smokey eyes, (Kim Kardashian) she always plays it out with a nude lip or a hint of pinks, why? You want the main focus to be on your eyes, not your lips. When wearing any type of look or going for any you want to make sure THATS your main focus not everything else, then it'll look.. complicated-chaotic (I know in  a face? LOL)
Here are some tips I found on BellaSugar.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Prestige Lipsticks

Hey guys! I have another review I want to share with you. This product I feel doesn't receive the full attention it deserves. It can be compared with a lot different brands however this price wise is perfect.

We've all heard of prestige's great liquid eyeliners, but has anyone ever seen their lipsticks? If you're like me and love matte shades in eye shadows, blushes to lipsticks I say check out prestige. They have a few color selections in their lipstick ile and majority of them are mattes. This brand however cannot be found everywhere, you can surely find them at ULTA but when it comes down to drugstores, only some carry them. I've seen this brand in Rite Aid, and that's as far as I remember, sorry.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage SPF 50

Hey guys ! This post is going be a review on the Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage SPF 50. <- That's a mouth full lol.

This product is essential to oily/combination skin but definitely can be used on any skin types. It helps your make up stay on for hours (just as the All Nighter Spray from UD).

This:
1) Primes the skin
2) Protects the face from UVA/UVB sun rays with a SPF of 50
3) Moisturizes the skin

On the MAC website, it's stated that "A skin-protecting cream with SPF 50. Applies under makeup to prime the skin for the sun. Featherweight, fast-absorbing, oil-free, invisible. Will not affect the look, texture or long-wear integrity of your makeup. Specially formulated with oil-absorbing powder, helps prevent oil breakthrough. Provides high-level broad spectrum sun protection. Worn daily helps guard the skin against discolouration, premature aging, dryness and other effects of sun exposure. "

PRODUCT REVIEW: Urban Decay All Nighter Spray

Hey guys, here is my first review on a product I've been using non-stop ever since I got it. I bought the UD setting spray during the 15% off sephora was having a while back and I'm glad I bought it. It is a phenomenal product for those of us who want our foundations/make up to last all day.

First off I have combination/oily skin

The product states (directly from the urban decay website): "In an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, we developed this groundbreaking setting spray that keeps your makeup on for 16 unbelievable hours. Legendary enough that it’s already inspired imitations, All Nighter boasts a patent pending Temperature Control Technology that makes this weightless mist so powerful and sets it far above the competition. Your makeup won’t melt when it's warm and humid or become dehydrated when it’s cold and windy. Yes, it actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to hold foundation, eyeshadow, blush and concealer in place. The sprayer, unlike others on the market, delivers a micro-fine mist that distributes product evenly over the skin. "

Don't mistaken this product as another alternative for your Mac Fix + ! I wouldn't recommend spritzing this before you apply your make up though some do. Also you can use this as a mixing medium for your loose pigments and eye shadows.

Where's my top coat at?

hmm.. I need to become an avid user of my own blog, these once in a blue moon postings just aren't doing it.

Truth be told, its not like I forget about updating and whatnot, I do remember, I swear ! Lol - it's just being able to have the time and actually sit down and type shit up. Main reason why I finally found time? I ran out of my top coat of seche vite and I have to wait patiently as my nails dry... & I'm sure many of the girls.. and guys? out there know how that feels. Boo! I need to buy some asap. Usually in the middle as I type.. I tell myself "damn i seriously need a life" aha. - Either way, I do like updating this thing whether anyone reads it or not.

Random thought, I dont understand why people falsify honest facts about their lives, oh wait those two words are exact opposite aha, oh well. Well actually I do know why they do it, expect it just erks me when they lie through their teeth trying to make themselves look WAY better than they are. I mean... Thank god for Karma right? Lets just hope while I'm here blabbing about something I cannot control and karma is on it's way to work its magic :-)

I think I'm done for now.. editing/updating this shit... nails are pretty dry enough to go on about my day, bye <33.

RANDOM yet again

It's raining so damn hard that I can't even hear myself talk.. (I'm currently outside on my porch watching some hindi movie -_-) I had plans for today, to head out to queens to see my girl& get some shopping done but as always things never turn out the way the seem to be. Plans are always unsuccessful ah. It hasn't rained like this in weeks, the continuous and unstoppable rain fall.. it's been like this for over an hour.. hmm wonder how long it'll last.

Rain.. please don't come tomorrow.. I mean yes you are invited from what I see on the weather channel however, you're UNWANTED.

The days are going by to slowly... my girl left to the Army :/ gaah. Don't know if any of you have experienced this but... ever had your best friend leave you for a long period of time? It feels shitty knowing the person you would tell everything too, share secrets, text every 5 minutes about WHAT JUST HAPPENED has left.. or isn't coming back anytime soon. It's so weird to think back when this chic and I first met, I wouldn't have expected us to be this close at all. Most girls in my presence are extremely stuck up or just not the type I'd get along with [i have so many] but Maria (my bff) is different, and I'm glad she is.

There's this baby doll staring dead at me.. so scary (its the neighbors) they step on it's face cause it's funny. It looks so funny and scary ahhh

I think that's enough rambling for tonight. gooooooooooooooodnight. and thankfully the rain has stopped a little. just drizzles.

2010?

New years meant for resolutions? Well ritually yes but you see, I've stopped (:

I dont find any reason for me to keep a list or even make a new year's resolution anymore because of the following reasons. I never keep them, maybe for the next few days, and when I say few, I literally mean like two [2] days. Another being, So far from what I can remember New years has never gone the way I'd want them to. Yeah I've spent all of the years with my fam being present, but not the way most people would spend their new years PARTY HARDYShoot I'm not saying I mind spending it with my mother and all -- but I just wish they were as free-spirited as I am. This year along with the past 3-4 years we sat in front of the TV drank the night away [soda] smh haha and some snacks & the snacks were AWESOME! This year we had some Tostidas[?] I was eating it past 3 AM :x another reason why I can't keep new years resolution [ I LOVEEE FOOD ]

New year's is suppose to make a person feel refreshed, delighted and of course NEW. I haven't felt that way ever on new years. Maybe on a Monday? Or even a Friday haha but never no new year's yet another reason why New year's is just [UGH]. Hope you guys know what I'm talking about tho about feeling refreshed on weekdays. You know wakin' up on Mondays up& about getting ready for school/work knowing its a 'new day'.

Ahhhh a most recent thing I've noticed about myself is that, when there's too many people in my house [everyone] I get a headache -- it's one thing when their all sleeping or in their rooms, but when their in the living room where the computer is also--- ahh forget about it. Its like I get freakin' frustrated as if I can't think or do anything straight. Especially for the past few days since I've been sick :/

On a brighter note: My sister's 2nd birthday is coming up and I can't wait to eat her cake -_- fooooood poisonous to some people like me.

btw: That list I typed two posts down or so -- hahahahahahahaha so did not happen besides like 2 or 3, also the Olay quench sucks like a motherfuckerr. waste of money and time.

RANDOM SCRIBBLES.

As much as I want to finish my final essay for my modern mind class, I'm way too busy drifting off in other thoughts -_- which I'm hating. I just hate when I have to do a paper on a subject i'm totally clueless on, I wanna BS my ass through it, but it ain't workin :/

[Men and Women]: I personally think that its easier for men to cheat or have an affair or even flirt with other women. Reason being, some women are.. just easy to get especially the younger ones -_-! Guys usually are more OUT there than women, they are capable to flirt and talk their way out of many situations. Also, if their spouse is concerned and curious a little too much, he might think she's being too controlling and he's under a leash o.0. Women are known to be suspicious of their man because let's face it, we're a little more emotional when it comes down to romance or love between any two people. Trust is a factor that is usually given into a relationship in the beginning but slowly lost at times through out one and EXTREMELY HARD to be gained. It sucks when a relationship is running on a thing string without any trust. /: VATEVEAH.

Einstein, what an amazing fella' hella' sarcastic lolol.

Let's see if I'm able to get back to my paper.. which is do Tuesday and I jus started. Salute me so I can be done ASAP :/ I wanna be a free wo[men].

COLLEGE

A new experience for everyone who has entered this Fall. Very different than High School, you don't need no damn persons permission to use the bathroom or even take a phone call. AHH HILLCREST where cellphones weren't allowed >.< damn idiots. Now i'm saving some MONE-AYYYYYYY! before i had to spend 2$ a day to put in my cell phone, and my zune in the nearest store so they could hold it for till i got out of school, so did 89327497324 other students. The sad part was.. through out half of the year my cell was waaaaaaaaaack. I switched over to a pearl which i initially had but wrecked the screen horribly purposely x; yes I know who would do suchathing? MEEEEEEEE =D

The professors are alright.. Actually all of them are minus one. My English teacher's horrible ahh i have so much against him its re-dick-u-lous. smh. The fella always fosuses on how he isn't like high school teachers, he doesn't help students who need help. He talks while he wants us to WRITE, how obnoxious? Imagine concentraiting on a sentence & out of no where dumbitchass comes out saying "If you do not know what your suppose to do, i suggest u ask your partner or leave this class" I mean god damn we're already 5 min into the assignment no need to say something like that. He fouscues on how we don't do this & that how we should do this & that but in reality I wonder what he's hiding from all of us. I mean when a person is always pin pointing others, it makes you think... Whats the real issue, because after explainin yourself for 329048943 days, dontchu think WE GET IT?! jeez.

My Classes are good too, besides my Mondays& Thursdays, they suck. Mondays I have class from 3-9PM & Thursday I have a 6 hour break which I spend home.. but who has the strength to go all the way back from 1 class? ;/ My business class is 3 hours and.. well I HATE IT. I didn't ask for it, but there wasn't anything left ;| I don't have any interest in that area, and by the look of it I don't think I'll even understand it. OH & the book costs 125$ D= boo hoo ! I could do so much with that LOL. I wonder if I could go to the library to do the assignments.. wonder how that'd work out.

I think that's enough for now... its almost 6AM I just morethanhalf completed 1/3 essays, all are due on Tuesday each 3 page long.. Do i got it in me? GOD I HOPE SO =/ wish me LUCK <3

THOUGHTS

Yet again its been a while since I updated previously, shocking? Naaaaah =)

Summer finally hit, pretty late though but I'm not complaining since it'll hopefully breeze through September.. One thing that might be typically harder this year is Ramadan (for those of you who aren't sure what that is, that's the whole month in which we Muslims fast, how exciting!) Summer feels a little boring this year around, though I have manymany things to do which of course as I am.. procrastinating.. Mostly to do with College shiiiiiiiit. That placement test yeah, i've been meaning to get to it along with transferring my damn transcript.

Someone very important to me, someone that gives me meaning to my life finally confessed to me that they don't understand me. For a year we've been together, and yet he still does not understand me, not that many people do so I cant blame him. But I have a quick question, how do you change the way you think? Your thoughts, Your feelings, the emotions that take over your mind. I was told.. "Instead of you controlling your mind, your mind controls you" true story at times I do think my mind controls everything, yeah I'm suppose to be the one control everything expect feelings that rush through my body though it might be hard. ;( When it comes down to others vs. others I think positive, tell them to think positive, look at things a little differently but lately i've realized if I were in there position, would I think positively? No.. This should have been in my new year resolution or something lol. Having a brighter sense in thought. I get where he's completely coming from because I bared these feelings, these types of thoughts for years without putting any recognition into it of what it might do to the people around me, especially the ones that truly mean a lot to me. I bet more than half of you guys are confused considering the fact that you dont know me, but all in all since I cant help myself but ramble off, "My name is Erin Nowrose and I can't help myself from thinking negatively." =D. I'll write more jibberish about this later, for now thats all.

AHHH! another poke on the ass.. gotta get my damn PERMIT MOM: How does a long island girl NOT have a permit and she's almost 18! DAMN IT. lol
