Oscars & Movies

Happy Friday. 

What am I doing?   In my quiet apartment enjoying myself.  Ought to make some dinner too.

Got home still wired.  Work mode.  Hubby was still sleeping (he's been sick with cold/cough, along with asthma.)  Made a snack and watched some of Oscar ceremony I DVR'd.  I watched it live @ my parents house. Mom says "its a recap of the Golden Globes!" I'm like, nooo way.

And "Avatar now occurs in the past!" LOL

Somehow I missed some touching segments.  Like the tribute for John Hughes.   See video here.   I've seen Ferris Buller, Beethoven, Home Alone almost on repeat. They are so great. And will continue to be watched!


Few days after I watched Hurt Locker, which won 6 of 9 nominations.   Jeremy Renner, who plays the main character, is from Modesto, CA

On to watching the rest.. laterrr!

(woo hoo to new layout! love it.)

Herro!

I have returned!  (For recap, click this.) 

Somethings I've been thinking about lately..
As much as I hate computers,  somehow I still gravitate towards them. Seem to have considered graphics design. Comp sci. Making videos.   This blog.

I might as well have carpal tunnel now. Old lady hands. And tired eyes.

But somehow my fingers are stiff when doing this stest.   At work I have an ergo keyboard, helps a little.   Maybe coz my laptop keyboard diff..

Side note to self: NEED TO EXCERCISE MORE!

Also, bought some kick ass lipgloss the other day.  From....guess where?




WALMART



I live closer to one now.  Not so sure I like that.

Bought Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in  Life's a Peach. First time buy for myself @ $5.94.  This will be my first and own review/opinion. Coz the product is so awesome. I'll try to put real pics of my own later too.   Lets put my descriptive writing skills to work! 

Stats: Life's a Peach #110;  0.2 Fl oz, SPF 15, how revolutionary!
Packaging: The tube is so elegant!   Almost like a piece of art. This would not  be the type of lipgloss to keep in your pocket! I've been staring at it throughout the day (like a nerd) while its out on my desk; standing it up, laying it down, looking at the golden shimmers thru the tube. I was wowing about the gold trim showing when I untwisted it. Applicator isnt really slanted tip either, picks up a good amount of product though. Also not a traditional round tube, more of a square shaped. Facinating thing.
Use:   I've been using this as an everyday lippie since its almost neutral. My skin tone is like a medium tan with warm tones. Its almost a balance to a smokey eye makeup look. (I'm a late bloomer to makeup, har.) The consistency is very smooth, slightly thick (out of 5 being very thick, I'd say its a 2,)  though easy to spread/press around with just lips. Havent tried it enough to tell you how much I needed to re-apply throughout a day. Has a slight sticky-ness,  its a 2/5.  Small golden shimmers too, not chunky or noticeable when applying.  No scent either; maybe a very teeny-tiiiiny faint of a orange creamsicle, rating of a 1/5.   Its moisturizing    too!  Usually I put  a lipbalm on first, then the gloss. I can loose it now!! Lips are so smooth after.

The history of lipglosses and I go way back.  I'd say its my most worn beauty product.   Teenager years, I used to layer diff colors. Even a sliver one with a deep colored one. It turned out OK,  guess that was my experimenting.  Also had the glosses with the flavors!! I'm sure everygirl had Lipsmackers! 


Never really got into lipsticks since they can be drying, and not as easy to apply. Dont like breaking out the mirror and applying.  And I could never figure what colors are best!   

Even so,  other products I've used is Covergirl Wetslicks.  I liked how they are not sticky and somewhat good colors.  I've bought maybe 3 tubes of the Wine Shine color in the past.  Just a good, mild hue that brought life to my lips. Though it doesnt last long and dries my lips. Another from their line is the Amazemint ones, I have the Silly Lilly color.  Neutral, soft, lavendery-pink. It has a minty flavor fto freshen the breath. Claims to have properties that make your smile brighter, more white.  I'd say it does and I love the minty taste.  I have a thing for things minty.

Well, that was fun.    Thanks for reading!

( gotta updated this layout too! It's such an obsession..)
