Laura Mercier Lid Primer- good enough
Maybelline Stylish Smokes (Natural)- Love the colors but the so called lid color is not very pigmented
L'oreal Lineur Intense in Black Mica - just bought this. I'm liking it so far.
Physician's Formula Mineral Mascara - crap
Angel Grey lenses - love
Not sure about the new lighting. It's indirect lighting and you can see my flaws too well, lol. You can also see the reflection in my eye!
L'oreal Lineur Intense in Black Mica
I just bought it this weekend. I've wanted to try liquid liners again after failing to make sharp wings with cream liners. Plus they tend to smudge. I knew I wanted to get one with a felt tip so I ended up with this. Also, I always see this recommended on blogs and videos, so it should be some sort of good right?
Today I finally went to see Avatar with my good friend from highschool. We tried to see it on Tuesday, but they were sold out so we bought tickets for the next day same time. For some reason I thought it only took 30 minutes to get there to the IMAX theater. Boy was I wrong. On Thursday there was traffic at 1pm for I dunno what, so we arrived at the theater at about 2:15? and the movie started at 1:50pm... oops! We were just like, well, we'll finally see MOST of the movie this time. So of course there were NO seats! We ended up in the second row from the front after climbing over people to get there. I've never sat that close before. I usually try to avoid sitting in the front at all costs, but I was just like "whatever" this time since we were so late! Once I was with my brother and sister and they ended up sitting in the front, and I just sat by myself somewhere else. I'd hate to do that with friends, but with family I guess I can just be rude! hehe.
Gross Alert:
So yes, sitting in the front... I had nausea for most of the movie. I almost threw up 3 times. You know when your mouth starts watering it means you are going to throw up. The third time my mouth watered it was dripping out of my mouth, omg so gross. To clarify it was only water or saliva. No actual upchuck. I didn't even eat anything yet. I also felt some pressure coming up like if I let loose there would be spew to the guy in front of me. Instead of getting up I'd rather just sit there in silent pain. I'm just weird like that. There were times I felt normal so I just tried to enjoy it while I could. I either had my eyes closed or stared at the bottom third of the screen. I kept wondering when the movie was gonna end. :(
PLUS, my nose is flat which made the 3-d glasses uncomfortable! I specifically put in my contacts so the glasses could fit better (in my thinking), but I think now it would've been better to wear my glasses so the 3-d ones would have something to sit on.
Why do they bother having those torture chairs at all? Why was I the only one getting sick?
Despite all the torture and what I could see, the movie was still good! hahaha. And my friend bought me a drink afterward, that helped! I wouldn't mind seeing it again in a non-3d way from the back row. err.. maybe i'll just go see The Nine!!
Happy New Year everyone!!!
Mine was pretty low key this year. That's good anyway due to my headache from earlier! I ended up snacking on kettle corn, and tortillas chips with a chili-creamcheese-cheddar dip while watching Message in a Bottle. My dad REALLY wanted to watch it with us. It was good, but sad! :( He loves sad songs and sad movies.
Here's a look I did sitting in front of the computer watching this tutorial by another Stephanie!

*Update* They no longer sell contacts! It is illegal to sell any contacts without confirming a valid prescription in the US. You can still buy from companies based in Asia though!
I decided to order circle lenses last week after researching and trying to find the best place to order. It came down to www.prettyandcute.com! They have a great promotion going on where you either get FREE shipping or a FREE contact lens kit. They are so cute! $8 value! Circle lenses are meant to enlarge the eyes with the black rim you can see in the photo above.
Why buy from P&C?
The difference between this circle lens site and others is that they have many lenses IN STOCK so you don't have to wait 2-3 weeks (or a month) in a batch! Pretty & Cute's time frame is 2-3 days! I ordered mine on Monday and I got it on Thursday!! SO FAST! The owner Janie is SO SO nice! She responds VERY quickly and even fixed her website when I noticed a typo!
Free pair!
Every 5th referral who buys gets you a free pair! You also get 1 point for every person who goes to the site and says you brought them there. You can email them or fill out the form on the home page. Just mention Stephanie Tran sent you there! I think you can get a free pair for every 5 you order yourself!
This is my order with the uber-cute lens kits! They arrived safely in lots of bubble wrap placed in a small box. Also, every month there is a raffle, and I just found out that I won for August! Hello Kitty speakers! Thanks so much!
How are the lenses?
I wear acuvue oasis, and I find those really comfortable. When I first tried the circle lens, it was weird I admit. I could feel it on my eyeball. It took a little bit of getting used to. I love to wear them because they make me feel "pretty & cute."
GEO Angel Grey lenses with prescription. $20. Love Grey! I think Michelle Phan wore these!
GEO Angel Black lenses without prescription. $20
My sister with her Angel Black lenses. She wanted something dark and dolly. I think Angel Black does this perfectly!
What color?
If you are confused about what color to get, I would try Angel Grey, Nudy Grey, Angel Brown, or the Adult Series ($25). I would also stick to 14mm diameter lenses. Anything bigger than that is not comfortable to me. I have Fresh Looks (14.5mm), and I find them annoying. Also, the Honey Wing series is nice too! Let me know what you got! (or will get!)
First Time for Lenses?
If you are first time contact lens wearer, then I would suggest doing research on how to properly handle contact lenses. Once you do that and are ready to order, don't forget the contact lens kit. It's very handy for first-timers. It has a mirror, mini bottle, padded tweezers, lens case, and of course cute designs!
