..yet another binge video & THANK YOU!!!

HAHA booyaahhhh got you guys! I'm too lazy to write lately, you know that.. so i've hit you up with another video. don't laugh. okay, actually laugh all you want. one day, i'll get a nice camera and film in HD and actually acquire real editing skills! maybe [not]. I'm also relying on Caroline to upload pictures from the meetup onto her blog *hinthint* whenever she has the time of course and do you guys like my non-existent grammar run on sentences!?!? I need to sleep -_-


I know, I know. My blog is getting pretty lame. It's turning into one of those "look at me and all this shit I got!" kind of blogs. I PROMISE I SWEAR I will do a real entry soon. I'll try to do something I haven't done yet - a tutorial!?!?! Perhaps...

ELF Minty Lip Gloss Review + GOODIES (HELLA PIX!)

Sorry I don't really do lip swatches.. I'm wearing MAC "Way To Love" w/ MAC "Baby Spark" Dazzleglass on top and I freaking LOOOOOVE it so I refuse to take it off to do lip swatches. Okay, here's my review. 

I have 3 EFL Minty Lip Glosses and here are the colors:

it seems like they're all named after cities or something. freaking weirdos.  I mean I guess it's kind of cool

I hate this packaging, it's such a waste of trees.

where's the lip gloss? oh, there's MORE cardboard to go through -_-

L to R: Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville [natural light]

In my mind, I feel like Los Angeles and Miami should switch. When I think of Miami, I think of the sun and hot vibrant colors. But whatevers...

L to R: Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville [flash]

L to R: Miami, Los Angeles [natural light]

These 2 colors have very tiny gold flecks in them!! beautiful. it makes my lips super shiny and not to mention plump looking. Okay, not like Angelina Jolie DSL status but still.

This last swatch here is EFL Minty Lip Gloss in "Nashville" with Revlon Colorbust lipstick in "soft nude" next to it. I love pairing these two together. I've been doing that lately. It gives the soft nude quite a bit of shine. You might think that's weird. Why would I want a shiny nude lip? Think Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez . There ya go. 

Now let me get back to WHY I hate the packaging

IT DOESN'T FUCKING SCREW BACK ON PROPERLY! >=[

$3 PIECE OF SHIT!

what the feck am I supposed to do with that!? in order to get all aligned I have to screw the cap back on night as tightly. I'm paranoid it's going to dry out and go to waste. Yes I know it's just $3 but so what!? It's my damn money hahaha.

Cons:

• applicator doesn't pick up much product, multiple applications necessary. 
• caps don't align properly when screwing back on -_- (it's like this for all 3 of mine!) you really get what you pay for here folks
• stupid cardboard paper packaging. I know a lot of brands do crap like that but it frustrates me! This one was a bit harder to take out than others and plus i don't want to screw up my nails, I just did them yesterday!
• suuuuuper minty = tingling sensation. if minty is not your thing, then do not get this product.
• only comes in 9 shades, so there's not a huge variety

Pros:

• cheap! only $3
• NOT STICKY AT ALL. read my words ladies - NOT STICKY AT ALL. 
• DOESN'T DRY UP YOUR LIPS! That's right, no feathering! No need to exfoliate your lips at the end of the day after wearing this product (well not for me at least)
• extremely minty = tingling sensation. if you like that, then you'd like this gloss. personally i do, hence why it's a pro for me but can be a con for others.
• TARGET carries it! Check your local Target before ordering online if you hate paying for shipping and waiting for deliveries (like me). I'm so happy that Target has it now. I really don't want to pay like, $10 for a freaking $1-$3 item. It's so stupid! And I don't get home from work until like 6pm so I almost always miss my packages. 

My Rating: B- Despite all the cons, I definitely think you get your bang for the buck with this product. I'm going to purchase a couple more shades too.

ALRIGHT LADIES. She told me not to call this a "love pack" necessarily.. This bitch has been with me since before this beauty blog.. since my XANGA days. Remember that shit!? Man.. She was there during my xanga and Counterstrike days 10 years ago. Yea, I was a gamer chick. Okay, I tried to be.  I loved the game but I wasn't the best at it. I got semi-okay. EH-KNEE-WAYS. 

Tina sent me a bunch of GOODIES! We write letters back and forth to each other and been doing it that way for 2 years now, did you know that!? Not e-mails, but REAL letters. SNAIL MAIL. Remember those!? You write on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope and put a stamp on it, it comes through this little slot in your door.... YEAH, MAIL! 

I LOVE YOU TINA. We've been through a decade and i'm looking forward to the next <3 

you're so fecking cute betch

YEA YOU'RE RIGHT. I NEEDED A MACHETE TO GET THROUGH YOUR BOX!!

this woman was obviously Chinese in a past life - she scotch taped everything. Do you wrap your remote in saran wrap too Teenur!? LOL

hahaha she drew lashes!!

I like Darkness lashes. They're so much cheaper in L.A.!!! San Francisco charges $4-$5 per box, wtf

Orange Sweeple is the best. It tastes like an orange creamsicle

what'd I tell you about the tape? ahhaha

THANKS!! I needed a travel toothbrush <3 Man, now when I go to Vegas everyone is going to be like "what the hell? you have  Too Faced travel toothbrush? Bourgeois ass bitch!" hahahhahaa

i've been wanting to try this since i'm pissed off at Urban Decay for their consumer suckering packaging. The stupid potion packaging don't let you get ALL the product out and you end up just wasting a bunch (unless you take the time & effort to de-pot) and it dries out. I heard Too Faced Shadow Insurance works just as good so I can't wait to test it out tomorrow!

oOoOoOo peel off type!!

thx betch, imma wax my upper lip so i don't give you fuzzy kisses when you kiss you on the cheeks at raves >.<  lulzZzzZzZzz rEtarded 0=]

this black soap smells good - no joke

THANKS BETCH!! YOURS IS COMING, I SWEAR !!!!

I know some of you already saw on twitter but JUST IN CASE any of you are wondering what i've got on my nails... 

Zoya's "Joy" w/ Zoya "Purity" for the flowers. Kleancolor Nail To Toe Art Lacquer in black and Seche Vite top coat :) Too bad my camera doesn't capture the true gorgeousness of Joy. There's a gold sheen to it in natural sunlight! I was able to show Melissa that today so she's my witness that it exists hahaha.
Diew.. it's nearly mid May and I've only got 2 entries for this month. I look back at March and I had 12 entries. I'm seriously not in a blogging mood hahahaha.

I know the top of my head is missing :[  what the heck YouTube! it didn't look this way when I filmed it. I'm so frustrated with the video quality *sigh* i'm sorry.
