chopa asked: I worry about the same thing when I go shopping for heels! so, I may bombard you with questions about your lasik, if you don't mind. please feel free to filter through them and take your time if you're not feeling up to it. I've always been really curious about it because I have terrible vision and am terrified of the procedure, even though it's only 10 minutes or something?...

I had corrective laser eye surgery on Friday. Everything is blurry right now. I’m having difficulty telling if the picture above (showing the Omega-3 pills and artificial tears that are part of my post-op regimen) is properly in focus, so needless to say posting will be a bit more scarce than usual. No makeup for a while because I can’t rub at my eyes or get water in them. Sadly, I...

I actually went and ordered the ankle boots from my Wishlist Wednesday post! Quick snap from last week while I was trying it on in-store. I think they’re cute, but since I’m not used to wearing heels anymore I’m paranoid that I will bail at any minute while walking haha. I am 5’7” naturally so anything higher than kitten heels makes me feel like a giraffe nowadays....

simplyiswise-deactivated2011100 asked: I GOT THE PACKAGE! I was so excited, and I already have Peacock on my nails and Butter on my toes- I want to save the pretty, spring-y color for the spring on my hands. And the lip balm made my lips feel instantly smooth. I had plans tonight and I wore the eyeliner and the blush(can you tell I'm a pretty impatient person when it comes to trying out products? Ha ha) and I felt great and glowy...

new hard candy products!
Recently I had Hard Candy Fox in a Box blush as my Wishlist Wednesday item because I spotted it earlier this week as a new addition to the HC display at Wal-Mart. Here are the pictures of the displays and new products that I was able to snap before my camera ran out of batteries.
Here’s the Fox in a Box I mentioned. From left to right: Hot Flash blush, Smooth Talker blush, Skinny Dipping...

wishlist wednesday: hard candy fox in a box blush
Okay so I am just barely making it in as it is no longer Wednesday anywhere except on the west coast (sorry), but here we go!
I spied some new goodies from Hard Candy yesterday at Wal-Mart~~ One of the products that caught my eye was Fox in a Box. With its box packaging and included flat rectangular blush, it immediately drew comparisons of Benefit’s boxed blushes for me. The three...

eucerin calming creme experiment
I went out after work and picked up Eucerin Calming Creme because yesterday’s post made me realize that I don’t put very much effort into moisturizing my skin beyond my face.
The product page notes that this product is “ideal for dry, itchy skin associated with atopic dermatitis (eczema) or cold winter weather.” Its formula includes colloidal oatmeal, which also caught my...

wishlist wednesday: first aid beauty ultra repair...
Ugh, is it too late to talk super moisturizing skin care? Maybe it’s because I was all covered up during the middle of winter in long-sleeved shirts and sweaters, but today I wore a short-sleeved sweater and I realized how dry my arms and elbows are :<
I don’t buy moisturizer anymore because an overzealous bf (ahem) bought me tons of Victoria’s Secret Love Spell lotion...

morethanprinceofcats asked: I just discovered your blog after searching for swatches of Hard Candy's blushes. :D I love it! I did a speedy browse and saw you love teals and turquoises, and bronzes and coppers. I love those too~ and I was wondering what your favorite colors to wear are?

wishlist wednesday: ankle boots!
I’ve really been in an ankle boot phase. Currently I am pretty much living in a pair of very practical/functional waterproof boots, but I’m very much wishing for something a little bit cuter.
I’ve been liking the shearling lining look for a while now, such as Allday from Aldo (see left). Shearling isn’t exactly the most appropriate look for the fast-approaching spring...
