Clique Much?

ciao, darlings. i know i haven't posted in a while, so forgive me?

have you read the clique series? it doesn't matter if your middle school/high school days are long behind you, or if they're currently in full swing, reading about the Pretty Committee is so for you! it's very engaging, and the adventures of the Committee will pull you in.

i love how Lisi Harrison writes some words the way stuck up girls would say them, inserting h's and stretching them out. her use of the terms alpha and beta to label the girl's positions in the clique is also genius, even though it makes me think of wolves. maybe there's the point?

full of brand names, nick names, and constant updates on the state of the union, every Clique novel is worth reading.

i have found a new lashy love.

remember my ranting and unconditional love for Dior DiorShow? well, i took the plunge off the deep end and bought some Almay mascara, and after the first day i haven't looked back.

this is an amazing product. two swipes, and my lashes are dark and full, long and thick. if i accidentally rub my eyes with my fist no flakes, no nothing. diving into the pool for a swim test and then swimming doesn't wash it off either [rigorous swimming and/or eye rubbing will move this mascara from your lashes to beneath your eyes, it's not that much of a miracle.]
the only complaint i can make, because i can never be fully satisfied, once in a while there are little clumps in my lashes, but those are easy to be rid of lickety split.

ALMAY ONE COAT NOURISHING MASCARA TRIPLE EFFECT WATERPROOF.
it thickens&volumes&lengthens, true to its promise.

i love you almay!

I Drool for Manolo.

during shop, under strain of nothing better to do, i went through my email. guess what? barneys is having a fantastic sale, and guess what section i went straight to? right -> SHOES.

just look, look, LOOK [and in my case drool] at these beauties! the Prada Victorian Pump for $525, the Prada Deco Sandal for $415, the Prada Peep Toe Pump for $365, the Prada Double Ring Sandal for $410, and the Miu Miu Dragonfly Slipback for$485.

looks like i have crazy expensive taste. [; can't WAIT until i'm a millionaire. can you?

Beauty Sleep

before i head off to snooze, i'll remind you beauties out there that sleep really does help; it's not some make-believe mothers force feed you.

lots of sleep means no dark circles, brighter skin, wider open eyes, a spring in your step, and just better over-all mood. it's just nice to sleep, no?

if i could have the perfect bed, i'd have one of those mattresses that takes on your shape, a silk pillow case, and a lavender eye mask. perfect, non?

bon nuit, ma cheries.

Let's Talk About Sex.



when i was about 12, i thoroughly latched onto Sex and the City, every Tuesday on TBS. [; i stayed up past what was then my bedtime and watched Samantha, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte live the kinds of lives i wanted to live when i grew up; lives filled with men, money, friends, and Jimmy Choos.
sadly, i stopped watching when i started to get tired too easily and my mother caught on that not everything on the show was appropriate for a 12 year old. now, 14, i'm throwing myself back into the world of Sex. before i get to see the movie, i will go crazy on every channel with the marathons they're throwing for the movie, and just the regular episodes.

so yeah, just felt like telling you? oh, and by the way, Kim Cattrall? LOVE YOUR BOOK.

Sephora; Calendar Girls.



i just got the Sephora catalog, and not in the mail! while shopping on Friday i just grabbed one, and now i'm just sitting here, looking at the promising beauty essentials.

as i've already said, i'm a big fan of DiorShow Mascara, and now i'm itching to try DiorShow Blackout Waterproof. it seems perfect for summer, and escpecially for the last month of school, considering water fights and water bottles are weapons of choice to ward off the heat.
hello, miss sunshine, and hello, strappy tops and shorts. skin should glow, and a once-a-week scrub should take care of that. fresh brown sugar body polish looks like it should do the trick.
Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on pencil i hope won't disappoint. the color choices look fantastic, and glide-on sounds wonderful. the only downside is that waterproof isn't listed among the qualities.
Kat Von D eyeliners in Love Metal seem glamorous enough for a night out in my little Ukrainian village or a teen club in NYC.
Juicy Couture Fragrance for Women smells heavenly and feminine, but a little too sweet for a whole day of wear.
Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray & Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser look good enough for my daily showers and my wild hair.

and that's all for now, loves. i have to go shopping for my other pair of prom shoes; i already have the heels, now i need the flats i'll switch to when my feet start to hurt.
