Knittin' Dino ;o

Haii guys <3 So I started knitting today for the first time. My aunt's like a knitting expert & I had asked her to teach me & it's surprisingly easy. Sure I had a rough start lol & my to-be-scarf is looking a bit uneven. Some knots are bigger than others & my fingers cramp up like crazy.. but other than that, it's coming along pretty well. Haa. In other news, tomorrow's Christmas Eve!! & It's going to be a super busy day. I'll be with my maw making tamales all morning & then I have to finish wrapping up some gifts. Ugh, I'm such a Last Minute Lisa! Well not me, but my mom & brother decided I would wrap their gifts also. I finally found a gift for my lovely Gma; some gold earrings with tiny diamonds. Es cute. I really don't have anything to talk about or anything to report but my blog has kind of just become my friend & my companion recently, since my boyfriend is all about his Black Ops. All I hear is.. Domination this, Tomahawk that. I know I'm not alone on this. I'm sure there's abandoned girlfriends all around the world, these days. lol 'Til next time, ya'll. <3

Funday Haul. ^.^

Haii guys! Erm, I went in looking for the Revlon Minted nailpolish & I came out with everything but the Revlon polish. Haa. Here's some of the stuff I picked up today.


Sinful Colors Nail Polish
Fiji. Oasis. Pinky Glitter & Mint Apple.
Fiji's like a royal purple, even though it kind of looks blue in the pic. It looks like it has a really nice shimmery sheen finish. Oasis is a hot pink with like a fuschia-ish purple undertone. It looks like it has the same finish as Fiji. Pinky Glitter is a gorgeous baby pink with peachy undertones with big chunks of glitter. Anddd Mint Apple is my favorite. (I'm wearing it now) It's a really green mint (more green than Minted by Revlon) with a shimmery finish.

LA Colors - Five Color Metallic Eyeshadow Palettes
Wildflowers & Tea Time
I learned to love the Tease palette so I picked these up too. The more I wore the Tease palette, the more I liked it & hopefully that'll be the same with these two. (:

LA Colors Nail Lacquer
Pink Pearl & Amethyst
Pink Pearl is just a nude peachy color with no real sheen to it. Perfect<3. Amethyst is more on the violet side than Fiji is from Sinful Colors. Plus it has tons of glitter & somewhat of a blue undertone.

Wet n Wild's Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio
Cool As A Cucumber
I generally like WnW shadows. They're pretty easy to blend & are really well pigmented. The purple color in this trio is like a plum color. I didn't have anything even close to this purple. So I'm excited to try it out. This trio feels extremelyyyyy velvety. Literally, it feels like velvet & it gives off a weird but pretty sheen when applied. I've never seen anything like it.

 LA Colors Nail Art Polish in Black & Squeeze n' Shine Gloss by Jordana.
My first nail art polish O.O I just tried it right now & it's so easy to use. I don't know why I thought it be hard for me to get use to lol. I wouldn't reccommend the lipgloss though. Even though it does taste delicious (lol) & the pink shimmery color is beautiful, it's way too sticky for my liking.

 Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyshadow Palettes
Lust & Greed.
OhMyLanta. These palettes are lovee. The shadows are sooo soft & soo pigmented I especially like the bottom right color in Lust, it's like a black with a hint of purple shimmer. Ahhh beautiful. <3 The bottom right color in Greed is a black with tons of multicolored shimmer & it's probably my favorite color from both quads. The top highlight color on the right in Lust is like an iridescent soft white with white shimmer.<3 They were out of the Vanity palette & they had the Pride one, but none of the colors really stood out to me. I only really liked the blue. But I have plenty of blues I don't use already. lol

Audrey Hepburn Frame. ヅ 
Breakfast at Tiffany's. 
Yeah.. How could I not? No description needed. =]

My 2011 Wishlist. ♥

Happy Holidays, ya'll! Omgg.omg.omg.oomg.omg it's almost Christmas ;x  I can't wait!! I'm especially excited because I know what my boyfriend got me for Christmas lol. I've wanted it sooo badly & it actually made it to my wishlist the minute I laid eyes on this beautiful masterpiece. <3 Haa. So anyway, here's my list for next year (for starters). So in no particular order, here we go. (;

_________________________________________________________________________


1.) Teacup Pomeranian Puppy. This is a bit of a stretch, I more than likely won't be able to get one of these cute babies 'til 2012 lol but that's why they call it a wish list right! I want a white one like this, so cute! It looks like a snowball with eyes. Haa. (:
_________________________________________________________________________


2.) Starlet Lighted Vanity Mirror. This vanity mirror is gorgeous! It's so old Hollywood-esque & glamorous. I especially like the detail at the bottom of the mirror.
_________________________________________________________________________


3.) Steve Madden Scandal Pumps (Glitter). Gold, sparkly, peep-toe? Yes please! The Scandal & the Caryssa pumps are some of the prettiest Steve Madden shoes I've ever seen. But I especially like the peep toes. Caryssa in a nude is gorgeous too. ♥   
_________________________________________________________________________


4.)  LuxAddiction Phone Case. They're a tad more expensive than kollada but they seem to have a lot more variety. I can't decide which style I like more, they have some really amazing ones. I even saw an Elvis phone case. O.O gawjusz! They're handmade phone cases with Swarovski crystals & cute little charms, rhinestones, & even feathers!
_________________________________________________________________________


 5.) Canon EOS Rebel Xs (Digital SLR). Takes amazing & super clear, professional looking pictures! I've seen pictures & I love how it gives things dimension; Focuses on the what's in the foreground & blurs the background & vice versa. How cool is that. (: This is what I'm so excited about! Lol How wonderful is my boyfriend!!??! I'm so excited to try it out on Christmas day. Ahhhh! I can't wait lol.
_________________________________________________________________________


6.) Military Style & Gathered Shoulders Dresses. The military styled dresses have been really big this fall & winter & & it looks like this look will continue into next year. I lovee how this style of shoulders & long sleeves, looks on short dresses! It's very Kardashiany.
_________________________________________________________________________


7.) Pearl & Crystal Cluster Earrings. These  pearl & gold studs are super cutee & elegant. I saw them on the bebe website a couple weeks ago. I love them; they're so pretty & you could wear them with almost everything! (:
_________________________________________________________________________


8.) Givenchy's Very Irresistible. I tested it last month at Sephora & lovedd it. I'm not the type to have a whole mess of different perfumes. I like to have like a signature scent lol & it's very hard for me to switch over to a new scent. I'm still addicted to Paris Hilton's Heiress & Victoria's Secret Pink lol but this perfume is at the top of my potential-new-scent list.
 _________________________________________________________________________


9.) 120 Color Palette (Third Edition). Last but certainly not least, this eyeshadow palette from bhcosmetics.com!I love the colors in this palette, especially the bottom palette. they're very everyday-wearable colors & the top palette seems for more special eye looks. Which is awesome cause you could always take your neutral look to the next level by adding either a smidgen.. or a big punch of color! <3

Meet Dez. ♥


[Meet Deserey♥]
She does amazing makeup & hair tutorials on youtube & gives some of the best beauty advice. Her product reviews are always honest & very helpful. Her makeup looks are so diverse & different; She puts a twist of her own on her celebrity inspired looks & makes them look twice as amazing! She gives the best shopping advice lol Check out her How to Shop on Melrose video; it's genius, lol some of the best kept secrets. She's also totally stunning but most importantly, she's a lovely, generous, person whom I'll always be a fan of; Simply because she treats people like gems & is such a humble, caring person.


Fortune Necklace Arrived x3


      Finallyyyy the necklace I ordered for my boyfriend's sister is here! The color took some getting use to but I love it. Lol. I know the antique-y gold isn't for everyone, but I think she'll love it too.  ت Ahhhhh I'm so excited I finally have it.. & pretty soon I'll have my Swarovski Crystal Phone Case from kollada.com !!Oh yeah, so the deal with the phone case was that I hadn't received any word from kollada for almost 4 weeks (since I had ordered my phone case). I emailed them twice but they hadn't gotten back to me. ;[ I had heard about kollada from DeziredBeauty from Youtube. I had seen a kind of like review she had done on their phone cases & had nothing but great things to say. Also, her phone case was gorgeous! Apparently these cases are pretty popular lol but I had never seen them before & I was floored. So anyway, when I was having trouble getting some feedback about my order from kollada, I went out on a limb & messaged Dez, hoping she'd give me some advice or some kind of customer service number since she had more experience with the company than anyone I knew. I did realize this was a long shot though lol She's such a busy girl & she gets tons of mail everyday; I really didn't expect her to respond to my message, much less offer her help to me. But she did! She was soo sweet about it too & gave me the kollada email she had. She also offered to get in touch with kollada, herself, if I was still having trouble contacting them. I was honestly touched. These days, the majority of people I come across don't feel the need to help anyone else out but themselves. People don't usually go out of their way to help me out. I've always been the kind of person to look past someone's negative qualities though & I believe everyone is good at heart; Some people's goodwill is just harder to find than others. lol But that's a totally different blog for a different day lol So anyway, I tried the email Dez so graciously gave me & kollada got back to me the very next morning. Kollada told me they had been getting swamped with orders & emails & most of their emails were ending up in their spam. But that my phone case was almost done & was to be shipped to me either Saturday (two days ago) or Tuesday (tomorrow). I was sooo incredibly relieved. It was such a huge weight off my shoulders; I had been sooo worried. But kollada assured me, I'd have my phone case before the holidays. =] Yay!! <3 <3 I hope you guys are having good luck with your holiday gifts too! =]

Haaa! Boots:2 Dinorah:0

      I gave in 'cause love them! I went to go see if maybe my love for them had just been a temporary infatuation. I thought I was going to look at them like you look at ex-boyfriends & say "what was I thinking?" =/ lol but that didn't happen. They were just as beautiful, if not more, to me than they were yesterday. <3These are actually a size 8. I'm usually a 7, 7.5 but 8 was the smallest they had left. They still fit & look pretty awesome. ت I also picked up a scarf & a pair of earrings.

Ashlee Boots from Rampage
Orig. Price: $60.00
I Paid: $29.99
Incredibly comfortable & surprisingly fashionable. I had always seen boots like this as more of a totally casual look. I've seen girls wear these with sweats for pete's sake! But they seem to be able to put together an outfit quite nicely. I was wearing just a sweater, leggings, & a scarf when I tried them on & it totally completed the outfit, 10x better than the flats I was wearing. I see a lot of potential in these. Heh.

Plaid Cashmink Scarf in Ivory
Orig. Price: $29.99
I Paid: $9.99
Super soft! I found out that Cashmink is 20% finer than Cashmere. I didn't think there was anything softer than Cashmere lol.

Hannah Black&Crystal Hoop Earrings
Orig. Price: $12.99
I Paid: $6.99
 Erm, I just needed a pair of black hoops. The rhinestones just add a little more to them. ;] I have some almost exactly like these, that I wear all the time but they're super super thick!

Ugggggs!! Na na na na!


     Mehhhhhhhh!! I never really got into the whole Uggs fad. I've had these tannish-brown boots for a little over a year & have used them maybe twice. Mostly 'cause I'm so use to heels! The only flats I wear are a bit on the loud side. I hate boring shoes & uggs are well.. kind of plain & not super flattering. Besides the fact that they make my feet look ginormous, I'm not comfortable wearing them out 'cause they make me feel bummy. ;/
     Now.. last night, TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY! I saw some black boots similar to my uggs & I don't even know why but I tried them on & loveddd them. This goes against all of my inhibitions lol I didn't know why I liked them so much & wanted them. Eventually, I made up my mind that if I bought them, I'd take them home, & hate them, & never wear them again; Just like I did these. So I didn't get them. But I'm seriously thinking about going back today & picking them up. lol They're pretty simple, they don't have as much detail as my tan-ish boots so I'm not sure what it is about the black ones that catch my eye more. It could be the simple fact that they're black.. & there's a whole lot more to match them with. I'm still kind of debating whether I should get them or not. lol I guess we'll see later. x3

StuffyNose+Ramblings


Hi phrands <3 Hope you're enjoying the holiday season & chilly weather. These crazy cold fronts haven't been too kind to me. I live in hot, dry, South Texas & it rarely gets cold down here, even during the winter. We get cold fronts here & there but for the most part it's not too bad. It's been really chilly this past week & now I have the sniffles. ;[ My nose is stuffed up & I sneeze all day lol. Thankfully I don't have a cough or gotten a fever or anything like that! Anywho! I've been Christmas shopping here & there since Thanksgiving for all the wonderful people in my life. ;P I've already ordered my boyfriend's sister's xmas gifts, I'm just waiting on them to get here. ;3 Which by the way, has been super frustrating. I ordered her an antique-ish gold key necklace from Jewels by Park Lane, about three weeks ago. I still haven not received it. The rep that I ordered it from told me that because of the Holiday Seasons, they're lagging a bit. The necklace is gorgeous though; I can't wait to see it IRL. The other thing I ordered for her was a Swarovski Crystal phone case from Kollada.com. I ordered it around the same time, give or take a day or two. And the same thing is happening with that. ;[ Well it's been a real hassle just trying to get some insight from Kollada on the status of my order & I'm still waiting on them to respond to my emails. Ugh the phone case is absolutely adorable too though. I just hope I get both things in time for Christmas ;[ I know she'll love them! Well I hope she will anyway. ^.^
      I also got my boyfriend's Christmas gift but I won't say what it is since he has a bit of a wandering blog eye & hops on here every now & then to read up on his woman. lol I think he'll really like it though. That man is wonderful though; I could get him a mud pie for Christmas & he'll think it's the most perfect gift ever just 'cause it's from me. Of course I won't give him a mud pie though! lol
      I haven't decided what to get for Gma on my mom's side but I know exactly what to get my Dad's mom. I won't get into much detail but it's going to be tasty & she's going to love it! She lives in Tennessee & I'll be shipping it out to her. I'll just post pictures when I send them out. =] I have nooooo clue what to get my mom or my Gma Mata (her mom)! I've been googling & youtubing for ideas but it's no use, 'cause of course the best gifts are those that hold a special meaning between you & that person. <3 Which makes it even harder but much more worth it! <3 Well, only 17 more shopping days 'til Christmas!! I hope you guys are making the best of these days!
"Fortune Necklace" Jewels by Park Lane

Maybelline Dream Matte Powderlicious! ;3

So I got the Dream powder I've been wanting to try. ;D I've been using it for the last week & a half, or so.. & the verdict is in. I lovee it! Application is incredibly smooth & no matter how much you put on, it doesn't look cakey or umm.. ashey? Lol you know how some powders get kind of dusty or ashey looking when you put too much of it; Not this one. I use it to set my foundation & for light-medium coverage & it lasts me all day with about once or twice touch ups during the day. Now if Maybelline would just put this much effort into their liquid liners, I'd be completely inlove with this brand. lol <3
