E.L.F Nail Polishes

Hey Everyone! =) I just wanted to share with all of you some E.L.F nail polishes that I've been wearing sometime in this month of January. These are the three I got from my older post, "Haul from E.L.F." and they only costed a dollar each! But then again you get what you paid for right? So the quality is just eh, ok. They streak a little so you got to put 2-3 coats on them and they chip off pretty easily if you're not too careful even with the clear coat. Besides those flaws though, E.L.F offers a wide range of different vibrant, subtle pretty colors!

Punk Purple

Mint Cream

I Decided to add a touch of Pixie Dust =) haha jk It's just some glitter at the tips

Quasimodo's Eye, What the Efff?!

So I woke up this morning to find my right eye looking like Quasimodo's eye! LOL I was like what the..how did this happen? haha But I put a cold compressor on my lid for a good 5-10 minutes and it went down. I thought it was funny though =)

Winter: Life gets in the way of posting

Hi Guys! It has sure been a while since I last posted something on here and I just wanted to sincerely apologize to all of you. Life just gets in the way sometimes huh?!  Something has happened in my personal life that will be a life changing experience which I'm about to share will all of you lovelies. =)
My boyfriend Johnny of 7yrs (i know, long time) haha who I have been with since middle school has decided to join the Army.  He's been wanting to do that for as long as I can remember. He just felt like he wanted to live his life in a more purposeful way and to do something honorable. He didn't want to do what everybody else was doing like school & work. For one he hated his job and two he hated school even more. Personally I just think all that Modern Warfare II (shooting/wargame) has gotten into his head! jk I support him in whatever he feels like he needs to do, I'm not going to stand in his way but be there by his side. So last Monday, January 24th he left to Basic Training in Fort Sill, Oklahoma where he will be training for the next 4 months. He won't be able to call anyone or use the internet, just write letters. Which sucks bad! If he passes training he will graduate and be able to come back and visit for 2 weeks but then he will be off again for another 3 1/2 years. Within each year he is allowed 30 days vacation though. But yea that's why I haven't posted anything lately, I've been trying to spend as much time I possibly can with him.
I think the longest we've ever been apart from each other was for a month, how am I suppose to go without him for the next few years? We basically grew up together. He is such a huge part of my life and I can't imagine it without him. Family and friends are also skeptical about me waiting for him for that long. They don't think I can but whenever I feel or hear these doubts I just got to prove myself and everyone else wrong. To stay positive and strong is what I need to focus on. I mean we've been together for 7yrs what's another 3 1/2-4yrs right? I have nothing better to do anyways =P But no, he is so worth waiting for. I think this long distance is good, It will put both of us at our ultimate test in our relationship and it gives each other time to focus on ourselves for a change. We will both grow as a person and learn to love and appreciate each other more. I admit it has been way hard, I have cried a lot and missing him like crazy but I know that I can do this, We can do this.. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this! <3

MyCandyEyes.com GEO Hurricane Brown MCE-HC-104 Circle Lens Review

I purchased my first pair of circle lenses at www.mycandyeyes.com and unlike other websites all of their lenses are $20! Plus it's FREE SHIPPING in the U.S. =) They also give you a free lens case with every pair you buy so that you can store your contacts safe and sound. I have never worn circle lenses before so I wanted something that was more subtle and natural but at the same time would make my eyes just a teeny bit bigger you know? hehe And that is where I decided to get the GEO Hurricane Brown MCE-HC-104 series which are 14.0 mm in diameter. These lenses are super comfortable and do not irritate my eyes in any way..unless I get something in it of course. =P

It did take a while for me to receive my lenses only due to the fact that I had to get mine with prescription so they had to custom order my lenses from the manufacture (GEO) itself. But for those of you who don't need prescription and just only want the lenses it will arrive to you in 1-2 weeks. So that is pretty sweeeet I'd say! I would totally recommend MyCandyEyes to anyone because they have such great customer service and are very prompt at replying back to you through e-mail. And once your order is shipped out they will e-mail you with a tracking number so that you can track your order.

Also on their website they have a link where they explain to you how you can get a FREE PAIR of circle lenses of your choice. Just by following simple steps like 1.) Doing a YouTube Video Review on your purchase of the lenses you got from them (which I did!) OR 2.) Posting the review on your blog and also get an extra $5 off on your next order.

For my free pair I got the GEO Magic Green MCE-CM-903 series. I will post another review and pictures once I get them! =D
If y'all would like to check out my YouTube Video Review go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCNUoOCPcBs

Packaging comes with instructions on how to wear and properly take care of your lensesI absolutely love the swirls in them!

The free lens case it comes with

Left Eye: With Lens|Right Eye: Doesn't

Until Next Time...
