New Mascara

So I was in need of a new mascara because my Maybeline Stiletto was pretty much gone. I saw a couple gurus talking about this one from Rimmel - MAX Volume Lash. It is very creamy and has no foul odor (like stiletto) and has a nice thick brush and definitely thickens my lashes. It is my new fav!

New Brushes


So through my obsession, I have learned that I needed makeup brushes in order to really get into the whole grown up makeup thing. I wasn't going to get brushes online (I don't have any higher end beauty stores) so I picked up these from Walgreens. I really like them. Of course that is the opinion of someone who knows NOTHING about makeup and has never even seen a MAC brush in person. They are very soft and are making concealer and blush really work for me. I have had a creme blush for a couple years that I have tried to like but hated. Now though, I like it. Crazy what using a tool will do. Since buying these I have noticed other YouTubers with them too. So it looks like I really lucked into something this time!

Drug Store Beauty


As stated before, I'm way behind in my knowledge of makeup. I feel like I should have learned this stuff in high school. But here I am, 21 and clueless. I watch videos of girls talking about brushes and thousands of products. I don't have any stores like Sephora or MAC or anything. So I guess I am a drug store beauty. I am entering a couple of the guru's contests and I might order some things online with coupon codes. Trying to educate myself and grow up.... on a budget. Still obsessed with the YouTube videos!

Supernatural: Apocalypse


I love this show! Sam and Dean are trying to stop the apocalypse and kill Lucifer. The four horsemen of the apocalypse... well the first War who is supposed to ride a red horse.... drives this cherry Mustang! Love it! Favorite quote of the episode: (to War) "Who are you?" "Here's a hint: I was in Germany, then in Germany, then in the middle east, I was in Darfur when my beeper went off."

Makeup Reviews and Tutorials


Makeup reviews and tutorials on YouTube have me big time obsessing lately. I had no idea that any one person could talk about make up so much! Then as I watch and listen I realize that I am 21 years old and I have no idea how to apply makeup! I use all the wrong colors and techniques. I am completely inadequate as a woman. Most of these YouTube gurus have products from MAC and Sephora, but I just don't see me stretching my budget for that. I will however make sure I buy some foundation that matches my non summer, non tanned, skin. And I really need to lay off the YouTube.

FarmVille

This Facebook game is addictive! I have literally got so far in the game that I have no goals to reach anymore, I just play because I cannot bear to think of letting my crops die... Lame I know but I have over 50 Facebook friends that also play. So I am not alone in my weirdness.

Supernatural

I love this show. I bought the first season a few years ago when I was a college freshman. I would watch an episode a night. It was like a 44 minute scary movie every night. These guys are hot, the music is great, and it is a really great show. I am not caught up on the current season because I prefer to watch them without commercials like a movie. They have always seemed like mini movies to me so that is my preferred way of enjoying this OBSESSION. I am on the last episode of the season before the current one. Which always makes me excited. Finale excitement without the summer long anticipation of the season opener.
