Props, dude!

So it has come it to my attention lately that it really sucks when people hate on things that you like:-) So, in the intrest of fairness and to make sure I'm not doing the same thing to anyone else, I'm taking this time to give props to stuff( and people) who bug me.

My Heart's a Stereo...Not a Stereo-Type

Usually when you're in High School you do everything you can to fit in. When I was in High School I did the opposite. I was terrified of being just another stereo-typical teenager. And that's fine. I prefered history and reading to pretty much anything and I still do. I didn't want to be another giggly self absorbed girl. I wanted to be different.

But here's the thing I've learned over the last few months: being diffrent and being different for the sake of being diffrent aren't the same. Example: If I saw a cute shirt at Stitches I wouldn't buy it. Not because I didn't like it but because eneryone bought their clothes there. But here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen: not doing what you want because everyone else is doing it is just as bad as doing something because everyone else is. You with me?

In the book I'm reading the main character said she would rather be in the library reading a book then discussing lipgloss and movie stars. Which is cool. But my question is: why do you have to choose? Can't you like books and lipgloss? I certainly do! We have this misconception that you have to be one thing or the other. You have to fit into a slot. But I like all sorts of things because there are all sorts of sides to my personality. I'm the girl who is perfectly content(prefers sometimes) to sit alone in my room with a book and a cup of tea. I'm also the girl who plays 1,2,3 with her friends at Wonderland and  giggles until her sides hurt. I can be both. I'm the girl who reads Shakespeare and Seventeen magazine. I'm the girl who loves One Direction and Green Day and Elvis.

I'm so done with choosing one over the other because I'm worried people won't think I'm different enough. I always thought being unique would get me noticed but I would rather just do whatever makes me happy. I'm all sorts of things so why just choose one?

Nowadays I get that shirt at Stitches and rock it my way. I feel free to admit that I strongly suspect Justin Beiber is talented even if he bugs me for some reason I can't put my finger on. I buy the gossipy magazine and the novel. Because I don't have to be anyone or anything but ME!

You've Got That ONE THING!

In honour of my new theme, here is the amazing video for 1D's  song One Thing! Whooohooo!

Shout out to Brookie, who is probably the only one reading this! ;-p

Confessions of a Cosmetics Junkie: Part 2

I was in Shopper's Drug Mart a couple of weeks ago and I stumbled across a new brand of make-up called Essence. It's originally from Europe and here is the cool part: Everything is under $5! How awesome is that? Sooo I just had to buy a bunch of stuff and share what I think with you guys!

Sooo the first thing I got was the Tint It! colour changing lip gloss in 01Turn to Happy

This is really cool! It starts of a sort of lavender-y purple but darkens to a nice shade of pink when applied. The pink colour kinda adjusts to whatever you're wearing. Also this lip gloss also acts like a stain so it has pretty good staying power. The only down side is it has a perfume-y smell that smells nice but doesn't taste every good. (Not that I ate it but you know what I mean:-p) Overall, this is a pretty nice lip gloss.

The next thing I bought was the Eyeliner Pen

Ahhhhhh I love this thing so much! I've been wanting a marker style liquid eyeliner for a long time but they are usually pretty pricey, so I was extremely happy when I spotted this one. It was $2.99, I think. It has a nice thick tip and the colour lasts all day long. This thing makes doing a cat eye super easy! LOVE IT!

Then I got the Stay with Me Long Lasting Lip gloss in 03 Candy Bar

I think this is one of my favourite lip glosses. First off, I love the pink/orange colour. Also it lasts a really long time and then there is the really cool applicator that contours to your lips so you can apply colour evenly. Awesome!

The next product I bought is the Smokey Eyes Set in 01 So What?

The really cool part of this set it that it comes with a black cream eyeliner as well as a sparkly grey eye shadow and a duel-ended applicator. That's not something you see very often. I've only used it once but I was quite happy with it.

The next thing I got was the gel eyeliner in 05 Miami's Ink, which is a silver/grey colour.I also got the brush to go with it.

This is my first gel eyeliner and I'm really impressed. It was way easier to apply than I expected. The colour is intense and a nice change from the usual black or brown.

And finally, the Colour and Shine eyeshadow in 08 Joyride to Jupiter

This eyeshadow is sooo pretty! It's a kinda silver-y green. The colour pay off is pretty good, especially if you apply it with a damp brush.

As of now, there are only a few products from this line available in Canada. Head to your local Shopper's and check them out!
