Happy New Years

2010 is almost over. Sadness!! It was a good year, I'll miss it forever! =(

Dear 2010,

We've had some good times.
We had a lot of good times actually.
Sure, there were the bad times, and there were tears, and there was lots and lots of physical pain, but that's going to happen no matter what.
Did you see that? That was some optimism there. Something I need to learn.
I spent too much time being pessimistic with you. But you know I can't help it. I'm just down alot like that.
But you made me happy sometimes. You helped my life get a bit better. Most importantly, you helped me grow alot. I still have a lot of that left to do, but don't worry, you don't have to deal with that.
You changed some of my views on life. You made me start to see things in different ways.
For all of the good times and for everything I learned, I thank you.

I love you, and I'll miss you forever ♥♥

New Years. A holiday which I don't like.

The reason why I don't like New Years is because it depresses me. I actually cried on the past 2 New Years Eves. I hope I don't cry this time! But I might. I don't know yet. I'm too pessimistic to be happy on New Years. I don't see it as the start of a new year, I see it as the end of the current year. And that's sad. I don't want it to end. I enjoy writing -10 on all the dates. I'll miss seeing 10 on the dates. I know that 2010 will never happen again. I don't want to say goodbye to it. I know this may seem silly, but I just have a hard time saying goodbye to the years. I mean, it was a whole year, of course I got attached!!

So I wanted to do top 2010 lists...

Like my favorite songs of the year, favorite movies, favorite events....but there's just too much. I can't imagine going through all the movies I saw and all the songs that came out. Geez so much can happen in a year!

"Welcome to Burlesque"

"Show a little more
Show a  little less
Add a little smoke
Welcome to Burlesque!"

OMG. This movie. Amazing! I loved it. I know I'm a little late seeing as it came out during Thanksgiving, but oh well. This movie was incredible. I love Christina Aguilera and Cher, so them together was just a whole bunch of epic-ness! They're both absolutely fantastic artists. I'm so happy that they were in this movie together. The music was great. The dancing was also amazing. Burlesque dance is very sexy ;) And all the dancers in this movie were very very hot. The outfits were so awesome. I loved their clothes! I seriously wish I could own all of their Burlesque outfits. That would be so much fun. This movie literally makes me want to be a Burlesque dancer. I can not think of a better job that I would enjoy. This movie was one of my favorite movies of 2010, if not the most favorite. I love it and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD because I will definitely buy it!

December Favorites!

Watch it! Watch it! Watch it! It's the last favorites video of the year, and it might be my last favorites video of all. I don't know if I'll do it again next year =/

On the last day of Christmas, la la la la la la....

So I hope everyone's Christmas was fantastic!!
So I don't celebrate 12 days of Christmas like that song, there's only one day for me, so this isn't really the last day of Christmas but I was thinking that song in my head when I typed the title. Okay? Haha.
I hope you got wonderful presents and ate delicious food and had a great time!
And if you didn't, there's always next year! ;)

**Merry Christmas!!**

Merry Christmas anyone out there in cyberworld!!  I hope you have a fantastic time!

Tomorrow is Christmas.

Yes, tomorrow! I'm Slovakian remember?? Yes our Christmas is tomorrow. We have a big dinner and open presents tomorrow night. I can't believe it's already Christmas! It does not feel like Christmas at all. The "Christmas spirit" that people on tv talk about, I don't feel it. At all. I know I'm not a Christmas person, but I doesn't feel like Christmas in any way. Even seeing a tree in my living room doesn't make me feel like it's Christmas. It's so strange. I think I'm suffering shock from it being a whole year. Last year I got this laptop. It doesn't feel like I've been using it for a year. Anyway, I didn't ask for anything this Christmas. Just like last year. I've stopped asking for presents for Christmas. Done. It's no fun if I know what everything is! And also, I've left my materialism behind as I'm growing up to be a young adult. Also, I'm not a spoiled brat. So everything that's under that tree for me is a complete surprise. I literally have no idea what's there. I'm not that excited to find out though. I'm just not excited for Christmas this year at all. Like I said, it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. And another thing, I'm not satisfied with the gifts I bought for my family. I think they're good presents, but I don't know if they will like them. So I'm kinda nervous about that. I'm more anxious to see them get their gifts from me than I am to get my gifts from them. Giving someone a great gift that they love makes me happier than getting a good gift. It's just a whole completely different feeling. Anyway, I'll stop writing now. I am going to try to have a good time tomorrow. I think the food will be fantastic, as it always is. I'm ready to eat a full meal after my mom hasn't been cooking all week because she's been baking. I've been eating sweets all week and barely anything salty. I seriously crave salty food so so bad! So I don't know what will happen tomorrow. But, oh my god, it's Christmas tomorrow!

Christmas Lollipop!

I don't know what I was looking at, but it's the best picture of the lollipop

I was cleaning my room and in one drawer I randomly found this Christmas lollipop. What perfect timing!! haha coincidence!

Matte neutral eye makeup

I was going to the movies, and when I sat down to do my makeup, I realized I needed to use foundation. My skin was looking really bad. My ColorStay is almost empty, so I had to use my PhotoReady. Which I hate. So because it makes my face sparkly (that's why I hate it if you didn't know already), I decided to do my eyemakeup with matte shadows. Just so my whole face doesn't sparkle and look like a disco ball! So this is what I did!

that's my face

closeup on the eyes

and the eyeshadow

I don't know if I like it. I know the shadow doesn't look well blended on the picture, but I spent a good amount of time blending it. oh well, I guess it turned out okay..

metallic green tips!

I finally did something pretty with my nails after doing boring red tips for about 2 weeks. I used a Pure Ice polish called First Time and the black Art Deco polish I always use for designs like these. I've done this design before but with a different color. But I just really felt like doing diagonal stripes so I did it again. I think the metallic green polish is gorgeous! Too bad it chips. Like crazy! 2 days later and it's almost all gone on a few fingers. Oh well, at least it looks pretty on the picture. Pictures last longer.

Art Deco & Pure Ice - First Time

The thin brush from the Art Deco polish!

Happy birthday to my mommy!!

It's my mom's birthday today!! Yay! :)
I bought her a ring from JCPenney that she really wanted. She was happy when I gave it to her :) I was really glad she was excited about it. My family always goes out to eat on birthdays. So we went out to eat and then when we came home, me and my mom watched PS I Love You, which my brother gave her for her birthday. So it was a pretty good day!
Happy Birthday Mamko!

Christmas baking

Today I wake up and go to the kitchen. My mom is baking and there's christmas cakes and cookies everywhere. Confusion hits me. After a while, realization hits me. It's almost Christmas.
It's so bizarre to see Christmas baking goods. I feel like I was just eating some Christmas cookies a few months ago. It doesn't seem like 12 months ago, no more like 6. It's so strange.

I do the PRETTY GIRL ROCK

"Pretty as a picture, sweeter than a swisher, mad cuz I'm cuter than the girl that's with ya"
"Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful"
"Girls think I'm conceited cuz I know I'm attractive, don't worry bout what I think, why don't you ask him?"
-Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson

Damn I love this song. Narcissistic songs are always the best. Seriously, when you sing them you feel so good about yourself. I feel pretty when I sing this song no matter what I look like that day! Haha! Keri Hilson is very very pretty, so of course this song is perfect for her. I like that album cover too. The blonde curls, the crazy nails, the yellow tape, yes it's an awesome cover if you ask me. No Boys Allowed is her new album.The video for this song is so wonderful. Keri dresses up as an icon from each decade, starting with the 30's or maybe the 20's I'm not quite sure. The whole video is a tribute, which I think is a great idea!
Alright so now, let's all do the pretty girl rock!! And don't hate us cuz we're beautiful :)

Maybelline Falsies Video Review!

I did a blog post reviewing this mascara, but since I dislike it so much, I decided to make a video about it.

Cold War

"So you think I'm alone, but being alone's the only way to be"
"This is a cold war, you better know what you're fighting for"
"I'm trying to find my peace, I was made to believe there's something wrong with me, and it hurts my heart"
"Bye bye bye bye I want you to cry when I say goodbye"
-Cold War by Janelle Monae

This song is fantastic. I've never heard of Janelle Monae before my friend posted this song on her facebook, so I can't tell you anything about this singer. But this song is just great. The lyrics are amazing. This song has so much meaning and depth. The melody is really pretty as well. The the music video is really emotional. It just has her singing into the camera, that's it. And spoiler alert, she starts crying. I was not expecting it and I just thought it was such a strong video. I absolutely love this song. It's really great music.

Dream Mousse Eyeshadow

You know, I think these are discontinued. I haven't seem them in stores in months, maybe even a year, who knows? But I bought this one in Dollar Tree last winter. I have the shade Blue Heaven. The eye shadow is a mousse so it's all soft and creamy. Applying it is really fun actually. It's not very pigmented, and it's shimmery. The pretty color in the jar is not what you get when you put it on. The color on my lids is very soft, pastel, and light. And shimmery. BUT it is a good base for blue eyeshadows. It really works. Blue eyeshadow on top of this is vibrant, bright, and really really pretty!

I even talked about this is one of my Products I Regret Buying videos. But now I've found a way to make it work! As an eyeshadow, it sucks. As an eyeshadow base, it's great!

Pictures worked this time

This is what I was trying to blog about. Yay for eye makeup! And pictures that are normal proportions! So yea. It's blue. and then gray. Then dark blue eyeliner. Then Silver underneath that. I really like how it came out. My camera did not do the makeup justice though. The blue was really bright. 

I didn't do this on purpose

So I was just trying to blog about my makeup and I had problems with the pictures uploading. Then I clicked on Medium to make the picture medium size, of course. And this is what happened. It's scary.

I finally found the special characters on my laptop

Actually I didn't find them myself. I saw it on the internet how to use them. So now that I found the thing, I have it pinned to my taskbar. Yay! I've really missed these since I got my laptop.
♥♦♣♠♂♀☼☻☺♫♪
They're so much fun!

Tip in Life about glasses

Keep them in the same place beside your bed. On your table, nightstand, whatever furniture you have beside your bed. Because one night when you leave them in an unusual location, you might wake up and not be able to find your glasses because you can't see anything.

I hate it when food takes forever to cook

I don't cook. 2 reasons : I'm bad at it, and I'm too impatient for it.
I get so upset when my mom puts food in the oven and says it'll be done in an hour. An hour?? It has to cook THAT long?! That's crazy. Do you know how hard it is to wait an hour for food!? And because my stomach has problems, I can't eat alot. But I get hungry and I need food. Meals that take a long time to make are stupid =(  Ha, I solved that like a little kid!

Fuzzy socks!

I've been wearing fuzzy socks for a few weeks now actually. They are super soft and most importantly, they keep my feet warm! My shoes do fit a bit tighter, but that's okay. It's not too bad. It's so worth it. Now that the weather is really cold, my feet freeze super fast. With regular socks, my toes go numb. But with my fuzzy socks, my feet stay nice and warm :)

Pearl Harbor

On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked.
Moment of silence for everyone who lost their lives that day.





I love the movie Pearl Harbor. With Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck, and Kate Beckinsale. I cry so much everytime I watch it. And that's the movie, I can't imagine what it was like in real life. And people tell me that it's just a movie, but it's not just A movie. That stuff actually happened.

I actually went to Pearl Harbor a few years ago. They had a really nice memorial. I remember a sunken battleship that had the very top of it sticking out over the water. That's how shallow the water in that part was. 

November Favorites!!

I did my November favorites video.

Yea.

Green & Gray

what's up with my eyebrow?

Yep this is some makeup I did. It's green and gray just like the title says! woohoo!

Attempted waves went wrong

Um....yea. It's bad. I slept with my hair in braids so it would be waves. This works, but this time I decided to try three braids so that there would be more waves. Well this is the horrid result. Next time, I'll stick with one braid.

Maybelline The Falsies

More like Maybelline The Fail-sies.
I love Maybelline, and I've always thought their mascaras were fantastic. But then I came across this one. And wow do I hate it. When I bought it, I had no expectations for it. I wasn't even planning on getting it. I only bought it because it was on sale. Seeing as it's called The Falsies, I knew it was in no way going to make me look like I'm wearing false eyelashes, I thought the name was a joke. And oh, it is.
This mascara is not dramatic enough to be called The Falsies. The only thing is does for my lashes is spread them out so I have lots of tiny thin eyelashes. It adds no lenght, no volume. What kind of fake eyelashes are those supposed to be?
This mascara also flakes like a (expletive). It's insane. My skin under my eyes will be covered in flakes in less than 2 hours. And when I wear glasses, I have to keep wiping off my lenses because they'll be covered in mascara flakes. The amount that it flakes is ridiculous.
It does have the spoon brush. It looks cool but it doesn't do anything. 
So overall this mascara does not work for me. I think it sucks.

december. WTF? seriously?

So apparently it's December 2010. How this happened, I have no idea. But calendars tell me it's the 12th month of the year of 2010. I know I have absolutely horrible time perception or perspective or whatever word. Basically, it's difficult for me to keep up with time. 5 months will pass by and it feels like 1 month to me. 3 weeks will pass by in a few days. And now it's December and I still feel like it's August. So you can see why I'm so confused by the year ending in 4 weeks. It's scary. You know, I never really liked New Years. I don't like it when the year ends. It's sad. It's over and that depresses me. Why I'm like this, I have no idea. I guess I just don't like time.

Now that you know I have a serious problem...

Here's how I fix it!
well, not really. But it's how I heal my lips :)

Blistex Medicated lip balm.
It works so well. It heals my lips in 2-4 days. Versus Carmex which took about 6 -7.
It heals cuts and tears and gives my lips moisture and makes them soft. It makes my lips be in a much better condition. It's great. I always put this on in the morning while doing my makeup, then when I get to school before I leave my car I put on my lipstick/lipgloss. If my lips are super super dry, I'll reapply the Blistex during the day, but usually once in the morning is good :)
