Why I've Been Missing / Spring Break

Wow. I am so GOOD at disappearing from the blogging world.

I don't mean it, I promise! I've just...well, before my previous entry last week, I had been out of town for a week and half a whirlwind of a few weeks before/after that in terms of school mess. Tests, quizzes, assignments, and just listening to lectures! Plus working 40 hours a week. Oy. There was one point where I was awake for 40 hours straight. Yes, being awake that long makes you feel drunk.

Thankfully, next week is spring break, and while I still have schoolwork due this week, my number of lectures is dwindling. The week after spring break, as well. I do have a few assignments I need to work on over spring break, but...eh, whatever. They'll get done. I've already started on one of them.

In the meantime, I'm planning on cleaning the bajeezus out of my living quarters. I'm not gonna lie, besides just needing to be organized BIG TIME, I also need to actually clean. It's by no means the dirtiest place I've been (nor is it the dirtiest I've allowed my apartment to become), but I haven't cleaned in...awhile. My main motivation on this is I just got 2 Scentsy warmers and 9 sets of wax and they smell DIVINE. However, I do need a clearer countertop for my large warmer that I got...so starting as soon as I finish this post, I'll be doing some cleaning and organizing before bed.

Yes, it's 1:45am and I'm going to be doing housework and homework. Don't judge me. I get home from work around 11:45pm. I don't normally get up until 10am or so, which doesn't leave tons of time to get stuff done.

Coming up later this week will be some new posts - I promise! What kind of posts do you want to see? Let me know in the comments!

e.l.f Shimmering Facial Whip - Review and How To!

Okay guys, I'm not gonna lie. I saw this on Pinterest and of course...once you pin something on there you know you can never find it again when you need it. However, in the description for the e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip, it essentially said to use it for your dark undereye circles. So, I figured, for a dollar, let's try this out. I got the "Lilac Petal" shade, which is a slightly pink shimmer.

None of these pictures were retouched/edited in any way. Hence, the fact that I look like I have lazy eyes, etc. The only thing on my face to start off with is lotion. Plain ol' CeraVe.

1. Completely bare face. Please note that I got literally NO sleep the night before I took these pictures.
2. The amount of facial whip I use per eye...very tiny amount. I'm not going to lie though...this stuff smells AMAZING. It smells like sugary goodness. I would probably wear a perfume scented like this. I only used this under one eye so you could see the difference between the two, since the lighting isn't the best.

3. All blended in and my under eye area looks like a disco ball!
4. But wait. I'm adding concealer on top! I added it to both eyes just so you can see the difference between using the facial whip under the concealer and not. The eye that I put the facial whip on under had the more severe dark circle underneath it, and it looks better than the eye with just the concealer. I obviously balance it out a bit more and have foundation and such to even out the redness on a normal day, but there IS a big difference just from this.

Final verdict? A+. You really can't beat a dollar, and I could find a use for this in highlighting my brow bone, cheeks, etc.
