Love Express Perfume = l.o.v.e

Ah-hah... I found the "photo booth" on this computer so scratch what I said below! :)

First off... let me say there is nothing more that I dislike then stock photos when reading a blog. I want to see the real deal. However, my computer is in the shop again and my computer guy let me borrow his MacBook Air... and there is no photo port. Boo. So, stock photo it is.

I was at Express yesterday and their new perfume caught my eye and all my senses when I walked into the store. Right as I walked into the store I smelled this divine scent and I gravitated towards the display. I sprayed it about 5 times while in the store but figured I didn't need another perfume... until I got home and all I wanted to do was rush back to Express and buy it.

So, today... it called me back and it's mine all mine.

It comes in a 1.7 fl oz ($44.90) or the 3.4 ($59.90)... I got the 3.4 because I had a feeling I'd go through the 1.7 too quickly.

I am not good at describing scents other than it's smells good... really really good. It's a light, girly, fresh and summery kind of scent.

But, this is how they officially describe it because "really really good" doesn't really tell you much. ha ha

"Notes of Blackberry, Lily of the valley, Tiare Blossom and sheer vanilla musk". Yumm.

Have you had the chance to check this out yet? No? What are you waiting for then??

LOVE,

SARAH

Feet and nails

I mentioned in a post earlier that I have psoriasis. I have it on my skin, and now in my joints in my fingers and feet. Also I have had changes in my toe nails especially. I have some on my finger nails as well, but those have been very manageable and unnoticeable when I have nail polish on. My toe nails are a whole other story. Unfortunately.

I have always had small nails, and they have always been quite curved, you know from the edges, so the nails are pretty much shaped like a parabola. Now the psoriasis changes have cause a lot of issues, because my nails are small to begin with and they also curve a lot. Needless to say, I'm not happy with my toe nails. I don't like showing my toes. If I wear sandals out, I always have a pair of socks with me in case I go inside and take off my shoes. (Here you never wear shoes inside, like someone's home you know. In public places shoes are worn ;). )

The point of this story is, that I wanted to ask you do you pay attention to other people's feet and toe nails, and how much? Do you automatically think that if someone has ugly, misshapen toe nails that they have like a fungus or something in the nails?

Also I'd like to ask you what nail polish color you think is the most unnoticeable.

My favorite, most flattering look.

I feel like this is my favorite look. In real life, this looks really flatterin on me, my eyes are it. Really nice looking, this is very easy to over-do and make it look horrible. But with the right shades this makes eyes look wonderful. I have darkish green eyes, with a little blue (and yellow). Contacts enhance the blue-ness a little, without contacts my eyes are more green-yellow.

I used GDE's Infectious on the lid. I softened the inner corner with NYX's beige from the trio Rock'n'Roll. I also used that to blend in the crease. I used MAC's Satin taupe in the crease and outer corner. Also under my lower lash line I put Infectious and Satin Taupe.

Same picture without the text of products used.

MAC's Satin taupe is probably my best MAC purchase. Probably the best, most versatile eyeshadow that I own. I use it in the crease just with MAC's Bare Study paint pot on the lid. Wonderful and simple.

Also, can I just say I love my eyebrows? I love, love, love them. Fine, they need a little cleaning up, but the shape in general is just awesome. :D

The Lonely Song

在我的部落格里，我不曾寫過太多的自己，偶爾會有整篇都關於自己想法的文章，

但是我都會寫到某種程度就不會再深入下去。

我的顧慮很多，我擔心會被讀者看穿我的內心。我不習慣就這樣被別人開放觀光，甚至以放大的眼光來議論紛紛。

其實每個人不都一樣，表面盡力保持著良善，心中難免會有一些用來平衡現實的壞念頭和衝撞？

本來今天想就這樣裸露的把自己最真實的情感寫出來，我想，我還是不具備那樣的膽量來如此公開心裡的秘密吧。

P.S. 我特別懷念她向我索取密碼來閱讀我寫的東西的時候，
大概只有她願意嘗試靠近我心裡的那片領土，也只有她才讀懂我吧。

請輸入密碼閱讀。 (hint: 她的英文姓氏)
