So guess what? I got early access to Pottermore by completing the magicial quill contest thingy at 6 am this morning. I was assigned the username MidnightUnicorn139, which is quite lovely. I like unicorns. Actually, I got this app called I'ma Unicorn, but that's another story :D I'm super excited! I am eagerly awaiting my welcome email to Hogwarts and am really curious to see which house I'll end up in. For those of you who still wish to get early access, keep trying! Day 7 is the last day, but I'm sure if you are persistant it will pay off. Good luck to you all!
What else is new? Not much. I have a full packed schedule for August, including finishing Driver's Ed (about time!), huge family get togethers over the next couple of weekend, going to California in about 3 weeks, and of course getting ready to head back to school :| and then there's also the little things that I really wanted to finish before summer was over, like my Israel scrapbook. So I apologize if I haven't seen you all summer, because at this point I'm so scheduled that I have no room to breathe!
Also, I have to talk about my Sephora haul. Y'all probably don't care about what kind of exciting new makeup I got, but I'm just going to rave. Skip if you want. So yesterday I got my Sephora stuff from UPS. I got a ton of stuff, and more is still to come! Don't worry, I'm using gift cards :) Alright, first up is the Sephora 12 hr wear waterproof jumbo liner. Long name, I know. It got it in this beige color that has some shimmer, and it looks pretty natural, but that's what I wanted. The best thing about this eye liner is how long it stays on. It won't budge until you take it off with makeup remover. Love it! Next is the Tokidoki Brillante Glitter Eyeliner. I got it in Unicorno, and another one that's on its way in Carina.They are on sale for only $5! Unicorno is like a light gold color, and it's definitely got glitter in it! I wore it yesterday out, and it really made my eyes look brighter. And the packaging of the pencil itself is super cute - it has a unicorn on it! Then we have the Sephora Sun Disk in Aruba. It's a bronzer, and has a super light shimmer to it. Made me look a little less pale and has a nice glow. Need to experiment more with it. But so far I'm happy. Then I got this concealer pen by Sephora. It's pretty lightweight, and a liquid formula really helps hide imperfections. It hides red spots really nicely. And it was only $3! What a deal. At last, I got another Buxom lipgloss. This is seriously the best lipgloss in the world. It's super shiny and slightly sticky, but it has some lip plumping stuff in it too. Not to mention vitamins to help hydrate your lips! Got it in the shade called Bunny, which is described as an "innocent pink". Pretty sheer but has color to it, which is what I wanted. I also got a pencil sharpener for my new eyeliners, and some samples. I'm currently waiting for my next shipment with the Carina eyeliner, which is a light pink with gold glitter, and some Philosophy Aloha Girl lipgloss, which is supposed to smell like coconut and vanilla. Yum!
Alright, last section here. Photoshop picture of the week. Another Hawaii picture, this one of the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor. Used a lens blur to put emphasis on the memorial, as the shot was taken from the Battleship Missouri. I think I posted this pic already in an earlier post, but whatevs.
Would love to hear from everyone in the comments!
