My favorite is the strawberry one.

She also got me the book handmade nation. It's basically about super intense indie arts and crafts, and everything DIY.

Now all i have to do is think of something really cute and useless to make and sell on etsy, so i can quit my retarded job.

mascara.

i guess i'll call this my favorite and least favorite mascara.

good one

The mascara i'm really liking right now is 'colossal volum' express' by Maybelline. Today i got a two pack for $6.99 (target often has special packaging/ deals).  It usually retails for like $6.29

The brush is just your traditional mascara wand, but a bit plumper.
Photobucket
Just one coat, and my lashes already look thick and full.  But i think the best thing about this mascara is that it's really buildable. I'll let it set for a while in between coats, and i can do about 4 or 5.

crappy one

Givenchy PHENOMEN'EYES
I got this from Sephora a few months ago after seeing many adds for it, and thinking the new crazy wand looked promising. It's supposed to curl and separate lashes. It doesn't claim anything about volume (which i ushally look for), so yah i guess i just bought it for the wand.
Photobucket
I can only put on two coats at most, because anything after that, my lashes just clumped and almost drooped down.  So i can never really get the big, full lashes i'm looking for. Also, this mascara never dries, it always stays tacky, which is very strange to me.
Photobucket
I guess this mascara is alright? I'd never buy it again or anything. And i'm sorry but for $28, you should get perfect lashes, and it should double as a floatation device.

A few things i've been resisting lately

old navy cardigan
Photobucket
Really like the print and color. But i just couldn't justify buying another cardigan.

juicy swim suit
Photobucket
This suit looks so sweet with the little flounce, and flattering with the rouching. But the juicy suit i already have still has alot of life in it.

juicy bandeau dress
Photobucket
I'm not sure why, but this dress makes me want to move to mexico, and do nothing all day except look pretty.

aa hoodie
Photobucket
Just a simple black hoodie. But i already have a burgundy one.

twelfth street by Cynthia vincent slip dress
Photobucket
Such a pretty color, and i love the simple styling. But i already have two in a similar style, from a few years ago. The fabric is so delicate, i couldnt stand buying and ruining another one.

So basically, i think i've finally realized i need to stop buying the same crap over and over again. And sometimes a little extra money in my bank account feels better than more stuff in my closet. Sometimes.
