Hi guys!  And Omedetou Gozaimasu (Happy New Year).  Sorry for my prolonged absence.  I keep forgetting to take pictures, and I just started a new job with Ulta :)  I finally made it through the holidays, so hopefully you’ll see more of me.  I missed you guys!

Anywho, I did a mani that I’m pretty darn proud of, so I thought I’d share it with you guys <3

Hello lovelies!  I’ve been itching to start posting again, and thought that this would be the perfect thing to get me back in.  In the name of Breast Cancer research, a lot of us ladies and gents in the blogosphere are posting pink looks and hosting giveaways every friday.  Now in order to join these giveaways, you must donate $5 to the Susan G. Komen foundation in the name of Team Pink Eye.  $5 gets you into ALL of the giveaways for that week!  For more information, please visit Team Pink Eye. Without further ado, here is my look!

And a super photoshop-py one just for fun =D

I used a mixture of Fyrinnae, Evil Shades, and Sugarpill.  Any questions, let me know!  And please please please, donate a little to Breast Cancer research.  It’s only the cost of a (cheap) pot of eyeshadow! <3 you!

I don’t know about you people, but to me Valentine’s day is useless.  Up until I got married, I never really had a good V-day.  After I got married, I had good ones but I never understood the point.  I love my husband 24/7/365.  We have birthdays and anniversaries to celebrate, so why do we need yet another day to single out our love to each other?  We show each other our love all day every day, so V-day is quite pointless to us.  Of course, being a girl I still make him send me flowers every once in a while, lol.  Seeing as how I don’t believe in a traditional V-day,

I feel like I’m always apologizing to you guys.  Remember how my laptop broke before?  And do you remember how it started working miraculously again?  Well….it’s not working any more.  I’m very frustrated now, as I STILL have not received my quote from Tokyo to get my laptop replaced.  I don’t have much time left here, which brings me to my next tidbit of info.  We’re moving next month.  We’re going back to Southern California.  If I can’t stay in Okinawa, that is where I’d like to be (excluding being sent to another country, which isn’t possible right now.)  I don’t have any exact fly-out dates yet, but probably around 01/07/2011 I’ll be on a plane.  Life is really hectic right now, and blogging is difficult without my macbook.  I will still be here as best as I can though!  I <3 you guys!  I also owe you guys a giveaway, for real.

Here’s my look.  It honestly reminds me of a Barbie in the 80′s, hence the name of this post.  I really really like this color combo.  It makes me happy :-p

“How is this a Nicki Minaj look”, you ask?  Well the heavy freakin’ lashes, for one.  It’s mostly for the pink lipstick though.  I wanted to make myself rock a lighter pink lipstick.  I mean if she can get away with it and still look good, why can’t I?  We’re somewhere around the same color.  Those lashes though…..man those were HEAVY!  I took my pictures right after I put them on (hence a lil’ bit of still-wet glue that you see), and I had such a hard time catching my eyes open it was ridiculous.  I probably just looked high for the first hour I was getting used to them though, lol.  Strangely though, guys kept trying to talk to me this night.  (Oh yea, I wore this for a girl’s night out).  I thought they don’t like girls w/ a lot of makeup?  Oh well, lol.  I really felt like I was drawing a lot of attention to myself though, with the size of the lashes.  Okay, enough with the lashes.   On to the look for that night.  (Oh by the way, I used the Naked Palette for all of this.)

This post is looooong overdue.  A while back now, “The Chemist” (for those of you that don’t know, the actual chemist for Fyrinnae), tweeted a link to a blog, talking about how awesome this guy was.  Well let me tell you, he was right.  The link was to Cosmetic Viking.  He posts the most beautiful looks, and has become a real inspiration to me.  All the looks that he does seem to work really well for me.  I saw this look, and just HAD to copy it.   I could’ve blended the inner eyes a little more, and this really needed lashes, but I’m still very happy with the results.  (Oh, and subscribe to his blog!!!  He really is so amazing, and so sweet <3)

So me and a few local makeup lovers rendezvous every week at our Starbucks to shoot the breeze.  We decided to make our meetings a little more fun, and make our meetings themed.  This particular week, we did Barbie.  I decided to do the actual “Barbie loves Mac” look as best as I could remember.  Also, I finally mastered putting on falsies well enough to wear them out the house!!  I’m by no means a pro, but I’m comfortable enough to wear them out in public now.  I try to integrate them into my daily life more now, but my husband just doesn’t understand why I need to wear them.  Okay….I don’t TECHNICALLY need to wear them, but I think it really finishes a look.  Plus, they’re just fun!  Anyways, here’s my look :)
