I heard a lot and watched from youtube how the piercing would be but had no idea what it would feel like. Some people said that it hurt a lot while others said that it was entirely bearable.  Fortunately for me, it did not hurt as much as I expected and I love it!

I got the Captive Bead Ring (CBR) instead of the barbell and I’m hoping that it’s easier to clean and take care of. Breathing really helps when you get any piercing

The piercer guy said to just clean it with antibacterial soap about three times a day but I also read that saline solutions (salt soak) would be good too so I’m not quite sure.

Anyways, I love how it turned out. There isn’t any redness and it only throbs a little bit when it gets accidentally touched. One thing that I really don’t like though is how I can’t sleep on my left ear now! I think I’m a better sleeper when on the left so I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night and woke up super early today (well for a weekend anyways.)

Well, I would recommend Sudden Rush and conch piercings to anyone because they’re pretty looking and not as painful as some other piercings.

Epielle Deep Cleansing Nose Strips

ehh, sorry for the tiny picture.  The box is about 5 inches high, 2.5 in length, and a centimeter in width. The strips are in individual foil packets that include directions as follows:

1. Wash face thoroughly and make sure it is clean of any creams, lotions, or makeup

2. Dry hands and take the strip from the silver packet and peel it from the plastic liner.

3. Wet nose with water so that the strip will stick

4. Apply strip to moistened nose with the side peeled from the plastic (shiny side) on the skin

5. Let strip dry for 10-15 minutes.  It should harden as it dries.

6. After the strip is thoroughly dry and hardened, pull the strip off slowly starting with the edges.

The instructions are a bit paraphrased, but it’s basically the same.  As you can see, the strips are identical to the popular Biore ones.

After being satisfied by the results by Epielle, I researched more about the brand and found that a lot of their stuff is cheap but effective. Another example of a great product is Make-up Remover Cleansing tissues or Cucumber cleansing tissues. From other reviews, it comes with 30 in a pack for about a dollar.

Deep Cleansing nose strips: 9/10

For my AP Stats class, we get extra credit if we turn in our homework before 8 AM today so I woke up early to get there and it is an EXTREMELY nice day out today! I walked to school and dropped by Town Center and then back home to find that my sister did not go to work like she was supposed to. She was a grump too, complaining about stuff and being lazy. aaargh. That just kind of ruined my day

But then she managed to convince herself to get to work late (though driving and not taking bus).

The Product of the Week is now Revlon Colorstay Foundation.

Ugh, there are a ton of those ground shaking fireworks going on right now since it just passed midnight. I’m not sure how my dad and grandma are sleeping through this o_o

Anyways, hope everyone has a happy new year!

(and I am now eighteen ;]

ahahhaahahah. I also took some picture of my Hard Candy polishes from the previous post.  Here are some pictures~

Hard Candy Fishnet

Hard Candy Mr. Wrong

The Pure Ice brand comes in a cube-ish bottle and “Kiss me Here” is a dark cream grey color.  The first coat was sheer. The bottle says to apply two coats which was fine but I went ahead and applied a third.

About a week ago my package from Sephora came and it had my Sephora by OPI nail polish in 212

I also recently bought two polishes from the newly revived Hard Candy in Walmart line.

The ones from hard Candy are Mr. Wrong and Fishnet.

Sephora for OPI in 212

I’ve been really into glitter lately and got N.Y.C. Long-Wearing Nail Enamel in 105A Starry Silver Glitter

I also got N.Y.C. in 108A Polyester Pink as part of a Christmas gift.

105A Starry Silver Glitter

108A Polyester Pink

The OPI polish had pretty smooth application and the lid is HUGE. It towers over the other nail polishes. I think that the hugeness makes the brush easier to hold and not slip as easily.  212 is a glittery black polish with red flakes and blue, green, silver, and some other color glitters. The red flakes can make the polish look overall a bit murky but it’s not that bad. I needed multiple coats to make it solid. On the first coat the black was weak and a bit sheer. Overall the effect is pleasant and it wears pretty long without chipping.

Hard Candy Fishnet is a traditional red nail polish. It has no glitters or shimmer and is a true cherry bright red. It is super smooth and also needs multiple coats but two coats is satisfactory.

Mr. Wrong is super shimmery with purple undertones. It has micro glitters that include silver, gold, and purple. Depending on the lighting, it can look more purple or gold. Both of these Hard Candy nail polishes wear pretty long (a week with no chipping).

The NYC Starry Silver Glitter is just silver and pink glitters with hexagon blue and purple glitters. It can be work by itself to be subtle on the nails or worn on top of other polishes to more of a statement.

The Pink Polyester on the first coat is pretty horrible. It’s streaky and needs about 3 or more coats. This is probably because it is a light color, but it was such a hassle to apply.

Christmas has just passed and in five days I will be one year older.

Next year, I have to go to college. I’m not sure where I will go yet, but I wouldn’t mind Seattle University. I need scholarships though since it’s a bit on the expensive side. I also got accepted to UH, but I don’t really want to stay here.

For Christmas I got new shoes!

It’s those Reebok ones with the pods on the bottom so I think I’m going to go running tonight. I haven’t gone running in like two months which is horrible.

I’ll try write more~

But to keep this blog “alive”, I figured to post something.

Bekka’s coming over tomorrow and we’re gonna make puppets! yay us

Neither of us has paints or colored markers, so I don’t know  how that’s going to turn out.

But ANYways, she is probably going to make a robot puppet so I’ll counter it with something and maybe there will be a battle of some sort.

happy holidays!
