  • Review: SuperStay24 2-step Lipcolor

    I received the Maybelline SuperStay24 2-step Lipcolor for a BuzzCampaign. I received 4 of the lipcolors- one from each of the 4 collections.

    Timeless Rose, Wear On Wildberry, Forever Chestnut, and Everlasting Wine

    These are the swatches, in the same order as above, after immediately being applied.
    Timeless Rose is a dark pink, very similar to Wear on Wildberry (but Wildberry has a more purple tint to it)
    Forever Chestnut is a lighter brown, toffee like color.
    Everlasting Wine is a great deep red, with less shimmer than the other 4.

    This is after 4 hours of being on my skin. And I rubbed it, pulled, washed, took a shower, and put my facewash on it.

    After being scrubbed vigorously with make up remover.

    Overall, these LipColors are very good. They stay on pretty long, though I wouldn't say 24 hours. They do make your lips feel a little dry, but that is easily fixed by the second step- the clear topcoat. The drying time takes a little while, I touched mine within an hour of applying, and it smeared just a tad. It doesn't feather or cake. I would definitely suggest this!

  • Why hello there =)

    Last time I updated Channings wedding was a week away. Now they've been married 3 months. Crazy. The wedding was absolutly beautiful. Granted the other bridesmaids, one of the groomsmen, and myself had some issues that involved a car getting stuck in the sand at 2 AM, one bridesmaid with a sprained ankle, only getting 2 hours of sleep before we had to be at the wedding site to prep. And me being the only bridesmaid there to help Donda. Ben had the only car, and he was a great sport about driving Becca to her car to meet my dad who towed it out, getting Michael to the wedding after he got lost, and driving Karen to the wedding after she sprained her ankle big time. Either way, we pulled it off beautifully, and Channing was the most beautiful bride ever.

    Lets see, I finally got to meet Michaels parents. They are just the sweetest people ever. I hung out with Rachel a lot! Which was amazing. Casey's mom had her baby, as did my neighbor. Both babies are amazingly precious. I babysat for the Loy hometeam, which was so much fun! I got to know Laura really well, and she's a very good friend now. I did get a job at Dermatology Associates, as a file clerk. Which means I pulled charts for appointments, put them back on the shelves, delivered phone messages, and looked for missing charts people needed. I hated that job. The girls I worked with were absolutly awful, and when my last day rolled around I hopped, skipped, jumped, and sang my way out of the office. Dad moved back to Tallahassee, so we hung out with him a lot. I've been back in school for about 3 weeks. And it's been busy. I'm on Baptist Campus Ministy's Leadership Team this year on the outreach team. We're planning a lot of fun stuff. Ontop of BCM and LT I do Trojan Allstarts, which works with recruits for the team. I'm also doing choir, Relay for Life, and Awana is about to start up. And I'm rushing Sigma Alpha Iota, which is a music sorority. So I'm really busy, but I'm loving it. My classes this semester are Earth Space Science and Lab (so boring,) Math Concepts for Teachers (so easy,) choir (easyyy,) Government (professor talks a lot,) World Lit (crazy teacher) and Geography (too much lecture.) It's 17 hours total. This weekend I have Beach Retreat and right after we get back from Beach Retreat I have to work a block party, and then I have a big LT meeting. It's so crazy. But I am really loving it. Anyway, here's some more pictures from my summer and everything!

    Anyway, tonight I'm doing SAI ice cream social, and my friend's birthday party! I'm so excited. This school year is going to be really great. I'm on the verge of killing my roommate, shes's driving me nuts. She complains like it's her job, and it's not. Michael and I are still together, and still going strong. It's been almost 7 months. =) Hehe. He's a cutie.

  • I never update this thing

     The title says a lot. =)

    Lets seeeeeeee.

    I'm done with freshman year of college. It was insane, in a good way. I pulled a decent GPA- and I blame Bio for not having a better one. I'm job searching at home and I have 2 good leads so far. I just hope they pan out. Channings wedding is next week. A week from today...well. Yesterday? Bah. It's Thursday. I get to see my darling boyfriend then too =) I love being home but this whole 3 months with my sister thing is going to be bad. She's used to being lazy, taking up the couch, TV, food, and bathroom. Now she has to share and it's making her mad and her being mad at me ALL the time is annoying and makes me just want to leave. I'm just plain tired of drama. After all this time I found out Justin did cheat on me, and now I have to look at his face and hear his voice at church all the time. It makes me want to smack him. Especially when he tries to talk to me while I'm talking to other people. Because I've had so much to say to him lately right? Anyway. Michael's got a great job in Georgia for the summer. We don't talk much because it's an 8-4:30 job and he has to drive 45 minutes to it daily and then back and when he gets back he fishes. He likes fish. I don't understand. They're slimy and gross and some make noise. Fish shouldn't make noise. Or have teeth. Haha! Fish rant over. Point is- I'm excited I get to see him soon. And for your viewing pleasure...

    He really is adorable. Bask in his cuteness =) hehe. Sorry =)

    Yay for Chiles chorus! One thing I don't like about college, no Chiles Chorus. I loved that program. Yeah- the people in it (some) sucked. A lot. But overall it was amazing. They had their final concert Tuesday and I got to watch those who are still my friends perform. I loved it. I babysat Wednesday night for the first time in ages. I can't believe how much I missed playing with a couple kids. Yes, I got bruised and beat up. So worth it. Tomorrow night is Relay for Life (Round 2 for me) And I'm pumped. Then the weekend and the wedding and oh goodness. Now? Sleep =)

  • Happy.

    So. For the first time in a really long time I am incredibly happy. We all know the story of douche bag boy and blahblahblah. Well I was going well fine. I don't need to date. Boys are dumb and dramatic. Well...This boy. His names Michael. He dropped from the sky and into my life. We'd been hanging out for a long time and stuff. Just hanging with a group of mutual friends. Then the BCM came up with this idea for Sadie Hawkins dance. Girls ask the guys. (It's always a surprise!) haha Reliant K lameness. Anyway. Mandi bugged me, nagged me, and beat me (jk) into asking Michael. The asking involved a beach bucket, hand painted treasure chest, m&m's, his truck, and stalking him around campus. He said "yes" to Sadie Hawkins and I thought that was the end of it. Not true. Him and me were hanging out in his dorm room one night, watching Miss. Congeniality when he randomly says "I like you as more than a friend" I just looked at him. and agreed with him. And a few minutes later he asked me out. We've been dating for a week now. And for once in my life, I'm totally happy. No one makes me smile and laugh like he can. Yeah, maybe I rushed back into it. But there's something....different about him. Which is lame, and cliche and whatever. Point is I'm happy. I think that after all the crap Justin put me through, all the family stuff I deal with, school and friends that cause drama , that I deserve, finally, a little bit of happy. I realize now Justin never made me this happy. I was never the same person around him as I am with Michael. I changed myself, and my standards to fit for Justin. Michael lets me be my lame, happy pets playing, stupid self and doesn't make fun of me for it. (much) He says these cute little things, that just make me smile so big and make me realize that this is what a relationship is. Stories and laughing, cuddling, hanging with friends, and all those little things. A realtionship isn't "if you love me you'll let me..." blah blah blah. I really screwed up in the past, and I'm the first to admit it. This time it's going to be different. I'm excited for this new chapter, and these new experiances from someone who hasnt known me a long time, and getting to know a new person. Who knows. Right now, I'm content, happy and all those other adverbs (maybe thats the word) that mean happy. =)

  • Update. Finally =)

    I've been in college for a semester and a few weeks. At first I really hated it, and wanted to go home and be with friends I know and people who actually cared. Then when I did go back, everything felt like I didn't belong. Then over Christmas break Justin and I broke up. Enter "heartbreak" that went away in a few days. I went back to school with a new motive. I was going to make friends, and go places and not sit here staring at my phone waiting for Justin to text me, and then getting mad when he was too busy for me. I went to my friends room, at dunner with them, and went places with them. I've got people here who have my back and I didn't even know it. It's only a few weeks into this semester and I already feel better about being here. Today, Justin decided to change his mind and go to FSU. I was very WTF. You said you were coming here and you change your mind? Douche. I still stand by the "douche" part. But I am SO OVER him. And it feels really good. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I don't ever have to deal with his drama, argue with someone every single day, or take his moms intense hatred of me. When I'm home next week I'm going to church with my head held high because THIS is me. THIS is me who isn't dependent on a boy anymore. Who knows that she doesn't have to have a guy in her life to make her happy, and doesn't feel guilty for talking to that really cute guy, or going out with her best guy friend. This is me. Take it or leave it. Because I'm tired of changing for some guys standard of what a girlfriend should be, how I should act, or who I can hang out with. =)

    On an equally awesome note!

    My friends Channing and Kyle got engaged this week!! She's doing 3 Maids of Honor in her wedding, and chose me to be one of them! I'm soooo excited. She's one of my best friends.

    ANDD Amber and Josh have been engaged for a while, and living together, and finally chose their wedding date. The whole "old crew" are her bridesmaids.

    Never have I been more excited for the summer =)

    Maybe they'll let me bring cute boys as a date? =)

     

     

    Two updates in one week? No way.

    Yes way.

    My lying, cheating, douche bag of an ex boyfriend has a new girlfriend. He asked her out Friday. It had been 10 days since we broke up. TEN days. He tried to explain himself to me and I let in on him. Telling him everything I've been keeping inside these past few days. I think I made him cry. I deleted him from my phone, blocked him on facebook and AIM. Deleted all the Chiles Band kids off my facebook. I can't believe how low he is. If you can't staay single for ten days you have a problem. I'm so livid. Beyond livid. What a bastard. He wants me to listen, but I just don't want to hear why he thinks this is OK. He said he knew it'd hurt me but everything he did hurt me anyway. Which apparently makes everything right. Not so much. He got hell from me today. He's going to get hell from me next week when I have to see his lying, cheating face. He lied to me about dating her. I asked who her new boyfriend was and he played stupid, acting like he didn't know what I was talking about. Then when I asked if he was dating her he said yes. The cheating part is he had been waiting for us to break up so he could ask her out. He decided ten days was sufficient. I hope he rots in hell.
