Summer makeup

I went to Nordstrom today to pick up some makeup I had pre-ordered, and they had some kind of special promotion and were doing makeup on customers. I picked up a couple of things from MAC's To The Beach Collection, Splashing lipglass and Marine Life highlight powder. I really love summer makeup, I love being tan, I love gold and pink and warmth and all of that fun stuff. I haven't been wearing too exciting of makeup colors lately, but I think I'll start doing fun looks again like I used to. I found this little survey on another beauty blog, and I thought it would be interesting to fill out!

Last mascara you bought: L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black...the only one that goes on dark and thick enough

Last lipstick you wore: Kat Von D Painted Love lipstick in Stiletto (an orange red)

Last look you wore you LOVED!: Thick black winged eyeliner with a neutral eyeshadow, and MAC lipstick in Girl About Town (a bright fuchsia)...it looked kind of 80's but really cool

Last eyeshadow you fell in love with: MAC eyeshadow in Banshee

Last blush you wore: I never wear only one blush at a time; today I had on MAC cream blush in Posey, topped off with powder blush in Dollymix and Springsheen (both MAC)

Last time you washed your brushes: Maybe a month or two ago, I need to wash them again ASAP

Last nail polish you removed: Essie in Marshmallow, right now I have OPI Monsooner or Later on

All done...

I'm really excited to be finished with classes for the semester; I got my grades today and I did pretty well. I didn't really put in much effort this semester, which really isn't anything to brag about, but I think that if I at least try next semester I can get on the Dean's List...but anyway, school is done, so enough with that.

On to SUMMER plans!! I'm anticipating that this will be a really fun summer...we have a couple of weddings and such to go to, and my sisters and I are going to Kings of Leon and Backstreet Boys this summer, haha. Maybe a trip to Florida or Chicago thrown in there somewhere. Either way, I'm making sure it'll be eventful. Not like last summer, totally boring and forgettable. I really need to go buy some summer clothes, my lack of wardrobe is starting to turn ridiculous...

Aches all over...

I have nothing interesting to write about today, really. I've been trying to finish up homework and papers before the end of the semester on Wednesday. I cannot waittttt for this semester to be over, the classes I am in are so incredibly boring. Pretty much every class focuses on the time period in the U.S. right after the Civil War, which I am really not interested in at all. I just have to suck it up for a couple more days, and I'll be home free.

My back hurts really badly...it's driving me nuts. One of the massage therapists at work gave me a mini massage on Saturday, and that helped at the time, but I swear it's getting worse. I wonder if I'm sleeping weird?...

Geocaching

Has anyone ever heard of "geocaching"? Apparently, it's this huge community of people who use GPS technology to hunt down these containers that may be filled with treasure. I feel like I've heard it mentioned before, but my sister told me that a woman she knows is an active geocacher, so I wanted to look into it a bit more. I browsed on the website, and there are all of these rules on how to geocache, like leaving something in place of a container that you find, etc. It sounds like a ton of fun, so my sister and I decided we would try it out. We haven't really started anything yet, except signing up on the website.

Some die-hard geocachers go all over the world looking for treasure, but I think we'll start small and stick to local hunts, haha. I'm interested to see what we find!

My song of the day (or whole week...)

Beat the Devil's Tattoo - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

These guys are just so cool, and I love this video. I'm kind of resentful that more people aren't fans of BRMC. I remember when they came to Detroit, and Kings of Leon opened for them, and I wanted to go so badly and no one would go with me. Now everyone's scrambling to go see Kings of Leon this summer.

Enjoy!
