I need help

I was thinking about the post I posted yesterday (about making this blog a more personal blog, and posting my swatches & reviews on luuux) and I'm sitting in class and luuux is kind of hard to follow if I want to post all my swatches on there - I mean I still will of course but I really want somewhere to post all swatches & reviews that's easy to follow and find and accessible to everyone.

So what I need help with is what's easier for you guys to follow? Should I just post everything on here and mix in personal posts here? Orrr I don't know :( I need your help!

New changes for this blog...

So as many of you probably know about the whole luuux thing if not click here! That website has now turned into my "makeup blog", it's where I post most of my swatches & mini reviews because I can't upload videos everyday like I wish I could, I post 2-3 posts a day on products I'm loving or hating.

So what to do with this blog now? It's going to be more of a personal blog - where you can read about what I'm doing and I will post more important swatches here as well like MAC collections, BOS, you know the bigger items that everyone will want to see :]



So what do you think? Should I keep posting everything here or make this more personal like upload pictures from my week and stuff?

Apple products! Ipad, itouch, iphone? Give me your thoughts!

To get pictures from my camera onto my computer without the cord, which is still lost somewhere in my room (I hope). I was looking around on my laptop - which is still fairly new and I don't like to read manuals or anything like that but I found an SD card slot! And it fits my cameras SD card (or are they all the same?) so I'm going to upload some pictures, edit some videos while I wait for my next class.

My laptop is pretty big and heavy it's a Sony (Not sure which model) but it is a 15.5 inch screen and carrying it from class to class is doing some work on my shoulder. I was thinking about buying a netbook for school, but then I figured it's just another mini laptop and I don't really need a whole other laptop just for school and I just bring my laptop for entertainment on my breaks or if I need to look something up for class. I have internet and everything on my blackberry so I started to think, what about an ipad? They have a separate keyboard you can purchase so in realty it is sort of like a mini laptop but a lot more smaller and light weight. And since I mainly use it for entertainment, I think I'm going to start saving up for one.


On another note - apple just released a new itouch, one that I have been waiting for...one with a camera! And it's HD recording! It says you can record, edit, and upload directly from your itouch and it has face time. But I have Verizon and have been waiting for the iphone to come to verizon which rumors - that have been confirmed that the iphone is coming to verizon sometime next year! I've heard January and other months but if that's the case I might as well wait for the iPhone! But the itouch looks so cool! I might stop in the apple store and check it out!


Anywhoooo, thanks for reading my technology ramble!

My favorite eyeshadow of the moment!

I've been searching high and low for my camera cord that connects my camera to my computer and now I can't get any of the pictures off of it without it! I have noooooo clue where it could be but I'll look when I get home later on today - I'm at school now, I have a 2 hour gap between classes so looks like this will be when I'm blogging/editing my videos! Now I have a specific time when I have time to do this - that's pretty cool!

So I guess I'll just do a post of one of my favorite eyeshadows I've been wearing lately (I have pre saved photographs, which come in handy in times like these!)

Introducing...Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Flaunt!

This eyeshadow is only available in the kit "Intro to eyes", but it is SUCH a gorgeous all over the lid shadow. It's great for those days when you don't want to wear makeup, but still want to look alive and those days when you woke up late and need something to throw on really quickly.

This eyeshadow is my go to eyeshadow for those days exactly. Lately, on my days off or if I'm just going to run an errand or don't really feel like doing any makeup (which is quite often nowadays) I love just throwing this on with my MAC 217 because it packs on the color and does the blending all in one. So onto the swatches & I also took some pictures with it on as well. OH another tip, I like to do a little bit of a wing with this eyeshadow just to give it some flare. haha






It's very natural and a bit more noticeable in real life but go check it out, trust me you'll love it!

What are some of your favorite quick all over the lid shadows?

Thanks for reading <3

Outdoor shopping

I tweeted this picture earlier and thought I'd do a short post on why I love outdoor shopping, so random I know. Today we had dinner and went shopping at the Americana. Don't get me wrong I love shopping anywhere and I love malls because there obviously are going to be more stores in one area.

I love outdoor shopping because it seems so more luxurious and relaxing. I love just taking a stroll and popping into a store that you want to browse in. This particular place was my first time there and the scenery was so gorgeous. The apartments above cost a fortune but I would die to live in one. The thought of being able to go downstairs in the morning to grab coffee or just go shopping seems like complete bliss. I love the city and the way everything is. I live in an area where you have to drive everywhere, haha.

I would much rather go shopping outside than inside but you can't have both combined unless you want to be walking for days to go to all your fav shops so once in awhile I like to go outdoors, this one had a forever 21 and H&M!


Have a good night, and happy shopping!

So exhausted

I am sooooooooo tired, we were at Disneyland ALL day from when they opened until about 11 o'clock. Lots of eating junk food, shopping, and most importantly of all the rides! But I am way too tired to upload the photos from my camera and then onto here so I will get those up as soon as I can!

Bought lots of goodies and last night as I was laying in bed going to edit about 4 videos I had pre recorded, I had imported them to mp4 when they have to be mp3 (I'm not too big of a tech junkie) so I have to figure out how to fix that because they were a couple videos I was excited about and I hope I can recover them!


Anyways, sorry for the short post, have a great night!

Day 1 in LA!

Today was our relaxing day where we just walked around and went shopping, which I totally don't mind! :D

I love Tinkerbell and all of the disney princesses :]


They also changed the "CALIFORNIA" letters, so pretty!


We also watched this show called Splash Animals. They have you guess the animal they are painting while dancing - it was really cool!





And then as we were walking back we saw some fireworks! I love fireworks and can't wait to see the whole show tomorrow.


ANDDDDDDD quick outfit of the day, when I travel I wear the top I'm going to wear for the day and I wore some sweats instead of my jeans earlier, OH and this is my hat that I loveeeeeee that I have been trying to find and found at a random kiosk.



I will be trying to record as much as I can for a video tomorrow and taking lots of pictures! Subscribe to my blog for all my updates and randomness.


Thank you sooo much for taking the time to read!
Hugs & Kisses from the happiest place on earth!
