I'm alive!

Hey errrr'one! I'm still alive and well....got back from my vacay in L.A. and San Antonio a few days ago....back on tha grind...I had over 14,000 e-mails to sort through the first day back...I just love working at a huge corporation....*rolls eyes hard*

Here's a quick pic of my friend and I at a pool hall in San Antonio....dont'cha just love the stars on the walls? How very TEXAS...

I'll be posting pics from my trip soon....I bought a lot of makeup while I was in Cali....let's just say I made a trip to Melody's Makeup place as well as several Sephora's...oooooh the damage it did to my bank account.....J/K.

タレ目メーク：Tare-me Me-ku

I'm back with a vengeance! With a REAL post with REAL makeup-related content! Thanks to my new camera, I have finally pooped out a new FOTD. I was inspired by all the tare-me me-ku (doe-eyed makeup) that's all the rage here...Two years ago, Japanese girls were all about the sleek, cat-eye. Now we're embracing our droopy almond-shaped eyes and going for the puppy-dog look....

All you have to do is make sure the color you choose for the inner corners of your eyes are at least two shades lighter then the outer third (outer corner)...and line the bottom lids halfway...

If you have any Q's, ask away! I'll do my bestest to respond :D

Too close? (-__=)

Contour, Blush and Highlight...all from one palette...

I still haven't figured out how to style my hair...it seems to look okay when I actually DON'T have time to do anything to it...which is like every morning when I have to work a day shift.

So I just wash it, let it air-dry for the most part, then blow dry the ends and curl them under...the whole process takes less than ten minutes. Aaaaah, I love minimalism! (Only when it comes to hair!)

Pooped

I wanted to do a FOTD post tonight...but I am pooped, so I'll have to do it tomorrow after work. I went to the orthodontist today around noon. My orthodontist is a great guy. He's probably the same age as my Dad...well if he were here anyway. BUUUUTTTT he talks a LOT. And I mean a LOT. Like while he's replacing a wire on my brackets, he'll start talking about schools or his family, and will stop what he's doing to explain something or crack a joke. I don't mind, I usually go after a night shift where I'm dead tired....but if I had to be somewhere.....that wouldn't be cool...LOL.

Soooo I bought a camera today! A Sony Cybershot....I hope it's not a fake.......You can never be too sure these days. The outside part of the camera is a little........how can I explain.....it feels too light, like it could break easily if I dropped it or threw it at someone. (WHAT? I would never do such a thing.) It's all good though, I only paid 20,000 yen ($200) for it, including a 4G memory stick. I'm going to need it for my trip....which is in less than 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! 12 days to be exact! I am so so so so so so so excited. I went to Cali two years ago, and I haven't been since! There's so much I want to do and see, but I'm only there for a week :/ Val, if you're reading this, I want to go to Disneyland...can we go pleeeeeaaaassseeeee???? Hehehe.

I have to pack when I have time....My work schedule is looking busy until I leave....no lunch breaks for me......*banging head on monitor*

Okay I'm sleeeeeeepy and I have to wake up in 5 hours for work. I love you all :)
