Right now, I'm at LACC just writing this shit up because I didn't bring my diary with me to write in. It would definitely be easier for me to write in my diary than on the computer (because that's just what I'm used to) but I guess that's just not happening so whatevs.

If I wanna write more, I will. If not, then I'll just write again some other time if I ever feel like writing, lol. :) A blog that's sorta gone to waste. Until I really find a topic to really write about, I won't be writing on this one very religiously. I still have my other ballet blog that I'm still working on - that's also a bit of a struggle to write about as well because most topics have already been covered...well, at least the basic ones, anyway. I just need to start researching, you know?

Anyway, that's it for today. byeezzz.

My Revlon Lip Butter Love Story

Okay, so I usually never get so obsessed with makeup. If I do, it's never a whole entire makeup line - it's always one or two products that I like. Does that make sense? The last time I was ever this obsessed and insistent about buying something was the Naked Palette by Urban Decay which I have been using diligently ever since I got my hands on it.

Anyway, on to the real point. Can I just vent how much I LOOOOVE the Revlon Lip Butters?!?!

I always make at least two trips to my local CVS every week (I know, I know. Strange, right? But they always sell the best candy, drugstore makeup, toiletries, etc.) so when I walked in one day, I saw a rack displaying the new lip butters. Back then I didn't know what the hype was about so I just bought the shade in 'Peach Parfait'. It was around $8 which is still a bit pricey for a drugstore lipstick (in my humble opinion) so I bought one. Just to be safe, of course.

And then...that was it. It was over. I was in love with it.

 Moisturizing
What I dearly love about Revlon's Lip Butters is that it does a great job moisturizing. Gone are the days when I always have to remember to apply lipbalm before applying lipstick because my lips get ridiculously chapped. When it comes to chapped lips, I was pretty much Queen of Chappy-ness.
Not that I'm hating on lipbalm or anything...but when you apply lipbalm before lipstick, I always feel that the lipstick isn't 'sticking' to the lips correctly and I end up wasting the product. I can't describe it well and you can understand either unless you actually try out the duo yourself.
But alas, killing two birds with one stone?! Bravo, Revlon!
I do have to admit it doesn't work as well as a regular lipbalm when it comes to moisturizing, but it's all good. :)

Packaging
It's not the best packaging out there when you're comparing it to Chanel, Dior, etc. And it probably never will be because it's only worth $8. But for $8, the packaging is FABULOUS!!!
I know there are currently many different versions of drugstore "Lip Butters" from other makeup lines such as Maybelline and L'Oreal, but none of the packaging appeals to me as much as the Revlon Lip Butters. It's stylish, cute, fashionable, and something that I would enjoy taking out of my bag (purposely) in public to dab an extra coat of lip butter on. Ironically, I'm not very high maintenance so I don't like to reapply makeup every couple of hours - so when great packaging makes a customer feel this way, then it's a success. It's a 10!

So there you go. It's not much of a review as it is a rant/ode about it. That is my love story right there. :)

Cheers!

Belated New Years Eve Post

Okay, so like the last post, I just wanted to say I'M SORRY for not updating much on this blog. I have another blog (psst, go check it out) called About Ballet and I've been working on that one for the past couple of weeks. So technically, I was still productive blog-wise, but I just didn't update this one. Forgive meee.

Anyway, even though it's a tad bit late (ahem, um, 19 days to be exact) I still really wanted to share with you what happened to me on New Years Eve with you all!

I went to this placed called Katana in West Hollywood with a group of my favorite people and had a blast. Entry fee including the dinner, music, etc. was $125/person so it was a wee bit pricey. I have never seen so many young people in all shapes and sizes dressed up and sex-ified in one area. Everyone was just so attractive to look at and they all knew how to flaunt their stuff! It was so crowded in there though and the music was pretty loud and lame (because they hired a DJ who wasn't really doing his job except for just switching around music...who then also started the countdown to New Years three minutes too early than the actual time).

Also, neither have I seen so many people get drunk and act stupid in my entire life. It weirded me out how many people were just...goners. I saw many girls wearing heels, stumbling and falling into a poor bush (the bush got annihilated by her butt while she giggled, "Oops, do I need to pay for this?" while other girls ran around, screaming and arguing with their boyfriends, even to the point where they were slapping, punching, and kicking their boyfriends on the arm, legs, and head. No joke.

...and now we know why getting drunk is not too favorable. :-) If you must get drunk, get drunk gracefully and elegantly and don't act like a douchebag. Period.

Here are some pics I took because I wanted to share my experience with you all:

The menu! How yummy does that all look? It took a LOOOONG time to have the waiters serve us though because it was just too crowded. Many people ended up complaining at the end of the night about the bad service overall but I can't blame them when there are so many people that you can barely walk a foot in front of you without someone else being jammed in your face as well. :-)

YUMMY!!!!! This is the first of many dishes that we had - it was probably my favorite. Unfortunately I couldn't take any more pictures of the food because the camera's battery ran out. :-(

And that pretty much sums up my New Years Eve! Was yours just as memorable? Let me know in the comments! :-)

Cheers!

Happy 2012!

Hey guys, so I just wanted to post at least something because I've been a bit negligent and haven't posted anything on this blog in awhile.

Just wanted to tell you (and myself, for that matter) that I am not dead and I am not abandoning my blog! :-)

There were so many things that I wanted to write about how I spent my New Years, etc. but it hasn't worked out. I will post very soon though. :)
