New Make-Up

It's been almost three months since I last posted... oops. I can only apologize to anyone who's been reading my blog, and say that the last two months have been interesting, since I was on a new job assignment that was kinda special... fun, but kinda special.  Sorry guys~

I hope to work out a schedule that allows me to blog more soon.  It still needs time, but it'll get there.  ^  ^

So! I thought that a little post today would be fun~  I have a habit of picking up makeup that I think will be fun to try.  That and I *love* mascara, so check out what I ended up getting awhile back:

Eye makeup! Seriously, you can never have enough.  XD

Maybelline Volume Express One by One mascara and two Wet 'n Wild liquid eyeliners, one in Turquoise and one in waterproof Black.  I've only swatched the Turquoise liner, but I wore the black for a day and I did NOT like it.  I wish I could take it back, but I guess I'll have to find it a new home.  However, the turquoise actually shows its color on my skin, so I can't wait to try doing a look with it!  I also need to try the mascara, and hopefully I'll be able to get reviews up for them at some point.
Also, I got my hands on some Diamond Lashes!  They were purchased from the lovely Mika-chan of Glamorous Sky a few weeks back.  Here are the lashes:

Diamond Lash Glamorous Eye

Diamond Lash Princess Eye
I'm so excited to have added these to my collection!  These got to me really fast, less than a week after I'd purchased them, and Mika was really sweet and helpful.  She has some cute items up on her sales blog, so be sure to take a look! ^  ^ 

I did a little test of the lashes to see how they looked, and I think it came out okay-ish:

I took these photos after I got home from my little sister's birthday dinner, which was the same day I got the lashes in the mail, so please pardon my under-eyes.  ^  ^;; I think I forgot to put on lower liner, but I'll remember for next time.  ^  ^  I love how these pop, so I'm determined to make them work on me the way I want them to.  I'd better get to practicing, huh?  XD

Until next time~
