I'm sorry I'm a bit out of it right now. I have had a cold for the past few days :[ 

 

Sore throats r so not fun. When I get them, I always get them BAD. 

it's weird cuz when I lay down to sleep....I can't sleep because it gets worse & hurts more!! starts to sting...

EVEN AFTER DOING ALL THIS: drank 1 cup of coffee, drank 2 cups of tea w/ lemon, gargled warm water/salt MULTIPLE times, sucked on a lime.

i'm cursed when it comes to sore throats.

i feel so weak since i woke up today :/ just carrying stuff drains me :[ it suckssss ahhh...

Sorry.. rant mode time......  

(some of you may find this pointless, but, if you are a creator of something and sells it..you'll understand)

If you don't make something & sell it.. I honestly suggest you might not want to read this.

Okay, so, I used to sell a lot, and still kind of do, but not as much cuz I've kind have been neglecting it, sell jewelry on this certain forum. 

Occasionally, there will be people asking for discounts on jewelry...I'm just sick of it now...

A. I already priced jewelry & shipping cheaper there by $1 or more, because I know there are a lot of teenagers on that forum. Even shipping is $2....

B. EVERYTHING becomes a factor when buying handmade jewelry. From gas to drive to the post office, down to the last sterling silver pin. The costs of every jewelry piece is based on the materials used & the time to make it, along with a few extra dollars (at least ONE extra $1 on this forum....) thrown in to at least make some profit off of the piece that the maker enjoyed creating. The point of selling the jewelry is to share it with the world and at least make a little money off of it... not lose money, might as well just give it away!

C. Most of the time, there is NO PROFIT made off of shipping! Shipping is based off of packaging supplies and the actual cost to ship what you ordered. 

D. The additional freebies are indeed, free to the buyers, bought by the seller with their own money.

E. Do not ask for some discount on STERLING SILVER jewelry, $5 shipped for a custom Sterling Silver jewelry piece... there's almost no profit in that when you factor in the materials used, packaging, time... and so on. I mean... Compare my prices to other jewelry makers? REALLY? get real... my prices are already dirt cheap prices! Tell me, when have you EVER seen a sterling silver jewelry piece priced at $3 from an actual store you walk into? I sure as heck haven't.

F. When you're purchasing handmade jewelry, one would only hope, you're purchasing the piece not just because you like it, but also because maybe, you would like to support the jewelry maker that created the piece.

I've actually been thinking about closing that shop down.... Sorry, I just REALLY needed to get that off my chest... Feel free to be a hater against what I said :/ but it's what I believe, if you don't like it, too bad, please go somewhere else.

Please.. at least just keep this in mind when purchasing handmade jewelry from me, or even another jewelry seller. Thanks for reading...I at least feel a little better...You know... it's best not to keep things in >.<

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!
