Summer fun but no lenses.

This week I've been waiting not so patiently for my circle lenses, but sadly they have not come yet. A few other things have, but I'll cover that later.

This weekend has been really eventful on Friday I went thrifting with my boyfriend but ended up buying a ton of makeup instead lol. I bought two tubes of Revlon matte lipstick, one in sky pink and one in stormy pink. I'll review them if my lenses ever arrive.


We were going to just call it a day and hang out at my house for the rest of the night, but we got tempted and ended up going to the mall for dinner and a movie. Transformers was the only thing really worth a shot.


I'd say it was pretty good, it was better than the second one (less bad comedy writing) and not as good as the first one. Of course Megan Fox was replaced by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, at first I was annoyed about it but she turned out to be really good. Definitely better acting wise, the character wasn't written as well but she definitely did a good job in the role. Overall Transformers 3 is worth seeing if you're really into the series.

Pink Lips and Smooth Skin by Covergirl Queen Collection.

Lately I've been completely obsessed with pink lips, you see it on a lot of celebrities (Katy Perry, Rihanna, Nikki Minaj etc.) and you think "hey, why can't I try that?" but alas, I have had bad experience with lipstick. The only time I've worn it was when it was mandatory during a cheer competition or dance recital, and I always dreaded putting it on. Bright lipstick is hard to find for dark skin, so I was hesitant.


I did a lot of research and found out a lot about how undertones really factor in not only when it comes to your lips, but the actual lisptick. I have fairly pink lips, so I'm lucky in that regard, but being the extremeley cheap person that I am, I didn't want to pay for something super pigmented from say, MAC or Shiseido that may end up not even working and costing me 15 to 30 bucks.


Low and behold,  during my search for lipstick, I also happened across some cheap foundation in the same collection, so here is a review of my finds. Let's start with the foundation, I bought it in "Rich Mink" it's the second darkest shade.
