OH MY FLUFFY GREY AND WHITE KITTENS + NARS FUNNY FACE REVIEW

I am losing my mind. Slowly. 

Brandon has an internship and will be leaving for another state by June 18. Portland State still hasn't gotten back to me, and won't for at least two weeks. Meanwhile, we have to be out of our apartment by June 29. I have no idea where I am going to go. I really don't want to move in with my parents. So yes, at this point I am so stressed out that my attention span is non existent, my eyes twitch whenever I close them, and I feel like I could sleep for all eternity but I need to run a marathon. 

In other news, I bought a lipstick! Nars Funny Face is my new favorite. 

I am super washed out, but I love this color! It is a full, rich pink that somehow manages to work with my constantly dry lips. It isn't exactly true to the color in the tube though — 

Which I am grateful for! I would never have looked at it, but the SA looked at me and said I had to try it. I usually don't look so great with rose hues, which is what this looks like in the tube. It is far brighter and much more red than it looks, which is wonderful. All in all, a wonderful offering from Nars. I'm a wee bit addicted!

GOODBYE OLD FRIEND

In the past two weeks, my life has exploded. Most of it has been awesome, but today was somewhat sad. 

My old black Macbook died. Now, I know that it may not seem like that big of a deal — it is just a computer. But it was my first computer. I worked my butt off to pay for that beast, and it has been good to me for nearly five years. Literally no problems whatsoever, until it passed quietly today into the land of "refuses to acknowledge charger, dead battery, Mac store people say it is a total loss." 

It was my close friend. It travelled with me, had photo booth pictures of me with my natural hair color, bleached blonde hair, and my horribly unfortunate shaved head.

It saw me through multiple blogs, multiple communities, and multiple life changes. It was my friend. 

Good bye, Macbook. You were my first computer, and will always hold a special place in my heart. 

This means that... I'm typing this post from my brand new Macbook Pro! It was ridiculously expensive, and I might end up living off of rice for the next year and a half, but I knew that my old computer was going to die and had been saving accordingly for the past year. I might be in love, and I may have driven two hours just to be able to pick it up today. 

I have been in the house for just long enough to change into comfy clothing and start my setup. If you can tell, I'm literally sitting by the front door! I have a little basket that I store magazines that I'm using to hold my computer at the moment. My new Macbook is two inches wider than my old one (15 inches v. 13) and my desk isn't clear enough for it yet. 

Side note: You can kind of see it in the pictures, but while out at thrift stores earlier this past week I came across the most hideous flannel shirt. It goes down to my knees, has an enormous hood, and is made out of four different colors of plaid flannel. It is by far the least fashionable thing I own, and is therefore the most comfortable. And I'm sharing it in all of its awesomeness with the internet.

I will regret these pictures in five years (or tomorrow morning, depending.)

Products I tried in August: One Fell Swoop.

This is strictly meh. It doesn't really remove my very basic eye makeup very well, which was disappointing. I wear a thin strip of dark grey eyeliner, mascara that isn't waterproof, and an eyeshadow from the Naked Palette. None of these products have been especially difficult for other makeup removers to demolish, yet this one doesn't seem to budge it. I'm seriously thinking about slathering my face with this before I leave the house on rainy days, because this shit apparently makes my makeup impossible to budge.

Also, it smells like olive oil, but isn't especially moisturizing or nourishing. I don't recommend.

Nyx Eyeliner

I tried several different shades, and I really like them. I will be featuring them soon! 

The Urban Decay Naked Palette is the best eyeshadow purchase I have ever made. I'm a huge nude shadow addict, and this gives me a billion options in one easy-to-transport palette. My boyfriend and I are currently long distance, and I do a lot of overnight trips there and a few road trips with my friends. This allows me to travel light, but still do a few different looks. I love the brush that came with it, and the Primer Potion is amazing. I waited a long time to purchase this palette, and even though it was expensive, it was worth it.
