Distracted!

Quick Review - That BioInfusion shampoo and conditioner duo SUCKS. It didn't clean my hair, and there is so much peppermint oil in it that it burned my eyes as soon as I opened the bottle. I do not know what I will do with it, but at least they are sample bottles. 

For some reason when I went to Sally's to buy dry shampoo (which they didn't have) I ended up buying Beyond the Zone Split Mender despite the fact that I already have a product for that, AND three nail polishes that I definitely didn't need. They are pretty though. They are from China Glaze's summer collection: Grape Juice (which is on my nails now), Orange Marmalade, and Watermelon Rind, which is the prettiest of all but not as summery to me. I don't think "summer" when I see dark, glittery green. I think autumn. I am still waiting on my other nail polishes to arrive (including the Good basecoat and the Good topcoat. Those two things are what I really want. I am giving the company until Wednesday to notify me of shipping, or I'm canceling the order. That's $25 I can put to better use. Also, the company promises to ship within 24 hours. Yeah. Didn't happen. I'm not happy. 

I have figured out part of D's birthday present, finally. I get totally freaked out every time his birthday comes, not only because the first one with him sucked, but because I have to buy him the perfect thing! And he is very nonspecific. He does not understand that he has to give me a direction for gifts. 

Amidst all of this I have to say that the Twilight soundtrack is really good (who would have thought?), and there is a song by Linkin Park on it that is actually not that bad. I give it three stars. It's a perfect funeral song, except a little too poppy. I've already told my parents that I want a funerary violinist playing Babcotte's Dirge at my funeral, and that's what I'd better get, damn it. Yes, I have planned my funeral. Yes, I am very strange. (but what else would one expect from a person who attempts suicide and is constantly thinking of new and better and more practical ways of doing so?) 

I am also supposed to be studying for my biology test. Wow. I'm not even taking biology this semester (even though it's my major and all). Psychology. Psychology test. Instead, I am typing this blog while I update my iTunes. Yippy Skippy. I am sure to fail it anyway since I missed two weeks of class due to debilitating depression. You know how it goes; or do you? 

Also, I bought the Everyday Minerals sample kit (it's free, you only pay shipping which is $3.), and I really love the stuff I got, particularly the blush. I might order the starter kit or just the blush by itself because I like it so much. It complements my skin tone perfectly.

__________________________________________________________

Yes, that's a lot of shopping. Yes, that's a lot of stuff. Yes, I will use all of it. I am testing a couple of those shampoos/hair products. I am still searching for the Eucerin cleanser, though I love the lotion.

I also bought a little travel kit with one bottle, two jars, an aspirator, and a spatula. With it, I made my own tinted moisturizer (which is perfect---it makes me want to make makeup now), and I stuck one of my pigment samples into one of the jars while I made another mixture of mineral foundation in the other jar. Yay for fun things. 

Also, my brother and I went to Dick's Sporting Goods, and he bought me a CamelBak BPA free drink thingy in my favorite color: green. I loves it! I also got to play on this amazing bicycle and a really nice elliptical for like twenty minutes. My legs feel great! 

I may or may  not review any of the products listed in this blog. I'm not sure who my audience is or what my audience wants. ??? I can say, however, that two of the eyeshadows are a bit disappointing: My Favorite Color looks like this beautiful taupe with glitter in it, but it goes on like it's just chunks of glitter, and the Hot Pink goes on too sheer to be considered Hot Pink. I'll have to foil that one. Geisha is a wonderful high light color for my eyes and my cheeks. 

So now you all know all of the new things I have. yay!
