Jewelry aside..2 new beauty faves

The next morning edit: omg my palm on the pinky side of my hand is swollen >.
mark.'s making eyes shadow duo in down to earth.
I'm definitely in love with this. I got it in a love pack from Mel. Thank you girl <3 I only use netural makeup colors.. and I love the lighter browns to have a slight shimmer and the darker to be less shimmery/more matte. This duo has the eyeshadows just as that! They go on extremely smooth too =] 
sorry, not really a review on it, just posting that I really like it :p

I've been looking for a cream to soothe my sore hands (for like the past week I've been looking). 
My hands are actually so sore today that I couldn't even open a candy bag :[ (the big halloween pack ones). It's mainly my thumbs that hurt & my right pinky.
But i'm just really picky. It has to be a good price for the size, smell decently nice/not too strong.. not greasy.. etc. I was at Wal-Mart today staring at the creams (didn't want a lotion) for about 10-15minutes. Picking up one..then putting it down...couldn't make up my mind (poor Jordon must have been suffering! lol). 
Finally,...I just gave in and grabbed this one (about $5.50 i think) so I didn't have to keep Jordon waiting any longer, lol. I didn't think I would like it...but wow I LOVE it. It's a cream..and it's not greasy (yay!) since most are. It has a light, fresh scent that's not too over powering. 

After I finish this bottle, I'm definitely purchasing it again.

I also took some celebrex >.< hopefully that helps too

I made probably 1 order from the blog today, 3 from eBay just to get a few done...gosh that hurt to do lol. I'm not gonna do anymore tonight. Hopefully my hands will feel better tomorrow from about a 2 days rest. (need to go all out jewelry making this weekend!! Especially since Jordon will be at work).

Jordon & I went to Wild Rivers today... i had fun except I scraped my knee in the lazy river before we left, lol. It burns!! Then.. we had Olive Garden for dinner...then went home & now relaxing...probably sleep very soon too! It's so early for me to sleep right now though! Lately been going to sleep around 3-4am.... :/ doing jewelry! lol! Then I wake up around 10ish getting only about 6-7 hours of sleep for the past month. Crazzyyy

Busy, Busy, Birthday, Busy, Busy

So I decided to list some ear cuffs on eBay, the last time I did it, I only listed about 10 total. (probably about a year ago). Then a few months ago, I listed 5 at "buy it nows" at how much i sell it at now. 

Now I said screw it, I'll list it at .99 cent auctions with $2.50/$3 shipping. people are bidding & winning, yay!

I had a brilliant idea with all this stuff o:
Elf anyone? haha ;]
 I decided to buy some of the "best sellers with the 50% off.. and resell em! LOL. People are actually buying them...mainly the powder brush ;]. all out of the countriers are buying it mainly... 
Does elf not ship out of the country...only US & Canada?
Because a lot are UK, Ireland, Spain, Australia.. etc.
 
So lately, I've been really busy with eBay and Etsy.com orders. I think so much, that my right thumb is hurting...!! My forearm too, but I'm not sure if that's from playing those basketball games at Dave & Busters on my birthday, or from jewelry. Probably both, lol.

That's basically what I've been up to.
 
I didn't do anything crazy for my birthday, I'm not really into all that, even if it's the special age to do so :p 
I just hung out with Jordon the whole day. 
Just being with the close people in my life is good enough for me.
I don't like bars.

I love movies..and needed more printer ink, so boyfriend got me Bounty Hunter, Cop Out, Clash of the Titans & printer ink, lol. <3 ty babe.

 ..I should have taken more pictures.
 
I actually didn't even feel close to drunk!! only a tad buzzed, but it was nothing that I wasn't able to control. I got soooo full.
 
Jordon & I went to Olive Garden to lunch.. here's my finished drink lol, Mai Tai. I wanted more but I was fulllll!!
 
 
My freebie dessert!

Then we went to Dave & Busters for the afternoon, I had 3 drinks.. I wanted more but FULL OMG.
Tropical Mojito! I had two of these & some other Mango drink I don't remember what lol.

Then... we went home to my house & went to El Torito's Taco Tuesday Happy hour with my parents. I should have taken pics here! I got a Lava Colada (Pina colada drink). Of course i wanted more again..but so full lol. Lots of chips n salsa. Got tacos & a cheese & chorizo dip. And a free flan for my birthday! 
Maybe soon I'll try and makeup for it, lol.

KAYLA, ARE WE STILL GONNA GO OUT? so maybe I can get at least tispy this time haha. Celebrate my birthday babeeee!! ;]

Dont forget my giveaway...!!

Random FYI...my birthday is this coming Tuesday! (Aug 3rd)
I'm excited =]

Just a re-taken picture of a necklace I've already made:

Anyone interested in buying sports jerseys for $60 ea? My boyfriend sells them.
You can look at that website for an idea, but he can get any jersey. Just e-mail him if you're interested! :]
My late night meal tonight. A bit of behind the scenes of Jujubeads Jewelry!

The girls and I have been talking about lippies, and taking pictures of our stashes. I don't have a lot, I mean, I don't even have a lot of make up! I can fit that blue box with ALL my makeup, I don't have that much lol.

I'm in a huge e.l.f. mood now, and I bought a few elf things from Target.. 
which I'm probably gonna get more. And a HUGE order from elf.com with their BESTSELLERS code.....if you get what i mean.. you probably know what I'm gonna do with my HUGE order cuz it's not all for me... :p

I dyed my hair black! I'm not liking it honestly.. it was Jordon who wanted me to do it! I'll stick to doing dark brown if I dye it then... I used to have like multi-colored brown haha. Jordon likes black/dark D:
Edit: i think the paleness has something to do with the flash/lighting too. cuz i'm DEF not that light LOL. filipino tan!!

I'm having an obsession with facial masks lately. my skin is so nice from using them 2-4 times every week!

My Beauty Diary Aloe Mask Review

I haven't used masks for awhile so I thought I should probably start up again. The last time I used one was from Clean & Clear in probably Freshman year of High School! 
Since My Beauty Diary masks are pretty popular, I thought I would give it a try.
This is my first time trying a non-cream in a tube type mask so I was like "Whhaaaatt!!" lol.

I decided to use this one because the last time i actually put real aloe on my face when I had bad acne in high school..., i felt weird LOL. (we have an aloe plant).

My Skin:
I have very dry, semi-sensitive skin with acne scars.. so thought maybe this might soothe it a bit.
I used to have uneven skin, as in you lightly rub my hand against my face and it wouldn't be completely smooth....but I've been using Aveeno's daily moisturizers and those have been working wonders :] I've been using them for about 1 1/2-2 years now.

Description:
aloe - Provides skin with adequate moisture content
rose - improves dry & rough skin texture
 amino acid - nourishes and moisturizes skin
hyaluronic acid - highly effective in moisture retention

moisturizes, repairs, revitalizes and nourishes skin

My comments:
-The scent of the aloe mask is very faint, but nice, smells, clean (? lol). It sort of reminded me of cleansing towels that i've gotten.
-there's a lot of the stuff on the mask! o_o
-with the mask on, it didn't irritate my skin, there's no "burning" or "cold" feeling as some masks may feel like.
-my face felt really warm when i took off the mask, haha, still no irritation.

we'll see tomorrow how my skin is! :]
fyi: i've been pimple free for 6 days, yay!

I wish these were less expensive and easier to get by within the U.S.!! And I KNOW I won't be making any trips to anywhere in Asia anytime soon >.<
The least expensive I can get them for is $1.55.. 10 pack for $15.50 ... free shipping.
and another that's $1.42 each.. 30 pack for $43 is that good?i have no idea lol. it just sounds expensive to pay $2 on a single mask! D= or i'm just cheap.. >.< someone let me know if that's a good price lol
But.. i feel an addiction coming soon with these, haha........

Have you heard of the new mask in their line called "Bird's Nest Mask"? lol...

I still have Pearl Powder & Yogurt to review :]
I also bought some other masks by "Beauty Essence" or something... I'm still waiting for those to come in though.

Face, hair, nails, random.. :P jewelry coming soon!

I saw Iron Man 2 today!  I liked it except for the parts where it seemed like it dragged a bit :P haha. Ending was nice. I was sad that they replaced Terrence Howard with that other guy, but whatever~
Today is the first day in awhile that Jordon and I won't see each other O_O crazy. 

 My legs are so sore right now...I worked them out A LOT on Friday at the gym... I figured they would be fine by today because I was going to go to the gym with Cathy..but nope! >.< Still hurt. It feels so good and hurts when I stretch haha. I didn't think it would be worth going if I wasn't going to do cardio (the main thing I do). Sauna maybe... but I wanna work up a sweat before going into the sauna but.. I'd still want cardio in there D: Hopefully they're better tomorrow! Because I'm definitely gonna go.

FOTD...You'll learn that I just do simple everyday looks. I like to keep it natural.
I kind of do the same makeup style everyday... but it really just depends on how lazy I am :P I didn't put on concealer or primer this time though.. didn't feel like it, haha
Maybelline Pure Stay Powder Foundation in Buff
Sephora Eyeshadow in Golden Girl
CoverGirl eyeshadow in Bedazzled Biscotti
Covergirl eyeliner in those eye highlights thing..black color

I like Sally Hansen's nail polish stuff! This color is Beautiful Berry
The application is very smooth and nice, easy coverage. First coat looked great, but I still put a second coat.
Excuse my ugly toes!

I got my Mom this hair straightener for Mother's Day. She has been wanting it for awhile. I love how fast it straightens! It took me about 2~3 minutes and I was done. It goes up to 400 F i think.
Remington Anti-Frizz Therapy Hair Straightener

Okay, off to doing jewelry lol. I wanna relax right now too D:

And don't forget about the Juicy Couture items I'm selling! Link can be found on the left side.

I love Neutrals! Sephora Eyeshadows, Lipgloss, FOTD

Store Policies/info/shipping page has been edited! Please take a look at this page before ordering.

I lost my glasses this week :/ I think the car wash people stole it >_< I ALWAYS keep them on the side driver's door compartment of my car...when I was going to drive home from Jordon's on Tuesday night.. I couldn't!! I need my glasses to see at night. I can do fine during the day but night.. nooo... lights make weird glares.

So, I went to the eye place today, got my check done, ordered new glasses which should be coming in this week! ;D I needed new ones anyway, it's been over 2 years since I've had new ones.

My parents are going to be going away in a week, for a week to the Philippines.
My grandma has been diagnosed with Leukemia :/ 
I don't really remember her at all, but it's still sad. I'm not going because that will just make the trip even more expensive on my parents (my mom is stressed out a lot about it) and my dad wants someone to stay and watch the house. Not to mention the cat :P Plus I got school (finals that week that they're gone) and I don't have a passport lol. 

Anyway.. onto the Sephora Eyeshadow swatches!
My first time owning Sephora eyeshadows!

California Blonde, Golden Girl, Tiny Bubbles
HD lamp lighting
I'm obsessed with these colors right now! 

The lipgloss is Korres Natural Products Cherry Full Color Gloss in Beige Pink.
I'm not liking the color too much on me, it looks way different in person than in the pictures.. >_<

My lips have somewhat of a purpleish-tiny bit of pinkish, brownish tint to them. With this lipgloss it kind of looks "silverish" on my bare lips. If I do wear it, I will DEFINITELY put a darker lipstick on under. 


The lipgloss isn't too sticky, but sticky enough that it would stay on for awhile.  The cherry flavor isn't an overwhelming medicine cherry taste, so that's good!

FOTD :P I suck at makeup so don't judge me! lol!
I look kind of mad in this pic haha, but whatev :]
This is natural light with like +1.0 exposure which I forgot I had  my camera on :P
I have the eyeshadow colors on and an Elf bronzer which is a bit hard to tell because of the exposure lol. Whatever I was lazy to take a better picture. Sorry!
