The dye box here is important. I'd made the decision to let my natural haircolor stay earlier this week--don't I always? But today I was bored inside Target, sad because Geraldine wouldn't come with me. So I perused and I browsed, and I thought about Bronze Brown and Warm Brown, and then I just wanted to dye my hair. not too red because it's tacky, and not too bronze because it just looks faded...and then I saw her. Isn't she beautiful? Yes, it is, and that is probably 99.5% of the reason why I bought this particular box. She reminded me of my old hispanic Barbie, and I thought that if I bought this box, I would somehow look like her. She's beautiful.
Well, BLEH. My shizz just looks brown, and come to think of it...I think this is another version of the color that I typically buy (which I'd already decided was too dark for the color that my hair is now...LOL). Anyway, moving on: (I really just wanted to tell you she's pretty) (look at that hair)
2. I got the orange lash blast because everybody raves about it, and I needed a new one. I'd been using the Pink Rimmel one and dislike it because though it does lengthen my lashes, it leaves them pin-straight. I also HATE the Jessica Biel green one because the formula is just horrible and my lashes end up feeling like haystacks. I have to say, I like the rubbery feeling of the brush on this one. It'll be interesting to see how that feels on my lashes--I will keep you posted.
3. Then I got the Almay One-Coat Nourishing Mascara in case I didn't like the orange one--sometimes it does happen (often) that I dislike both, but hey, I've just gotta try it. I generally like Almay and the "Nourishing" part of the mascara really sold me. I believed it, and I also felt that its packaging boasted "Oh, I'm perfectly girly". I have a feeling that it will be nourishing. $4.99 seems pretty good by the way.
4. Next I knew then that I needed a bronzer. I wanted to try the Elf one, but they didn't have it. So I opted for Rimmel--you know I love Rimmel. The color I got was Sun Bronze and this was a riskyone, but I wasn't too afraid because I generally adore Rimmel--it does help how it's Londonish. To be honest, I love the color. I never knew that a bronzer could look like this. It's beautiful and warms up my face in a way that just makes me pretty. Contour? Not dramatic, and this may be a problem. On the other hand, I've learned that Laguna just looks horrible on me (at least in comparison). Ugh, when I think of the ashyness! Its muddiness, dirtyness...I can't believe that I wore it. I can see now why some people opt to wear their bronzer as a blush. I would definitely do this with this. $4.99
5. I got a Revlon nail polish in Bubble--it's new. I have agabathousand hot pinks, but this one looked different. I knew that it'd wear different.
6. The Rimmel Royal Gloss I'd been wanting. I knew that it would be clear, and I knew that it would only look sheer--and I sure was right. I can tell myself that in some lights it looks frosty pink, but in reality it just goes on clear on me and makes my lips look deathly dull. I could be a corpse. I hate, loathe the color of my lips. I wish my lips were a natural shade of Not So Shy! But ah, you can't have it all.
P.S I suppose that I just like the squeeze tube. It reminds me of being a girl, fascinated with makeup (its packaging).
7. I got the Aussie Shampoos because I needed and wanted to try something different. It's kind of embarrassing to admit this to you, but I've kind of only always worn whatever they sell at Sam's Club (another version of Costco). But now my hair is DRRRY!! and I want to take control of my life. I was going to go for a Suave one, but these two were on sale ($2.50--can you beat that?!) and I've forever only heard good about Aussie.
8. I've also been wanting the 3-Minute Miracle forever because everyone apparently loves it. I was amazed at it's $2.99 price tag. I will definitely tell you how this one goes.
And because no one cares, I have wanted to tell you that today I obsessed about Cover Girl's Bloomsomething blue eyeliner because it was beautiful, like the blue pearlglide liner without glitter and eyesafe. I thought about it, I lusted it, but I did not end up getting it. I will probably never wear it. I just feel funky all the time with some blue eyeliner. I'm over it. I'm over all the color--I can't even wear purple sometimes, it's been months even. I'm sad, I'm old. but I like how I am.
I considered buying it even for "that night out", but I knew that I'd feel self-conscious. Goodbye
