Eyeshadow Color Combo's

For awhile I had been creating my own eyeshadow color combos based on the colors I see in the VA/MD/DC/WV areas and I haven't posted any new colors for a long time, sooo...here they are! I haven't taken any photos of these looks yet on myself but if you do any of these combos and have some pics you'd let me post up on here then...that'd be sooo cool of you ;D

South-Riding Sundown

Light Cream White, Medium Peachy Pink and Dark Mute Purple

Waxpool

Light Yellow, Bright Medium Yellow, Dark Forest Green

Jefferson Cougars

Light White Cream, Medium Gold, Dark Maroon

Watermelon Park

Pale Green, Mellow Medium Pink, Black

Loudoun Raiders

Pale Yellow, Bright Medium Yellow or Gold, Bright Medium Blue or Navy

Shreve Mill

Pale Green, Medium Pinkish Purple, Black

P.S. I pulled all these colors to the right of the image from the Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette just to save myself time and energy rather than finding drugstore dupes but you can use any eyeshadow color similar to these.

Product Reviews

I tried this Jil Jordan product that my co-worker had laying around work which is a french cuticle treatment. It smells sweet like vanilla and leaves my cuticles feeling a bit softer. I think it's a bit pricey for $8 but if you buy the whole french nail kit for $19.99 it may be a much better deal. I would say this product doesn't do much as it just states being a "moisture-protectant" anyway, but it does feel a bit more moisturized around my cuticles than without it. Since this product doesn't do much and the writing on the bottle wears off after awhile and it's a bit pricey I give this product 3/5 stars :l Nothing too specialI purchased some Eyeko products a few weeks back and now that I've had time to try Eyeko's cream AKA there "most wanted product" several different times after reading sooo many good reviews, I can confidently say that...I don't like it. I have fair skin which is a bit on the dry side at times and not perfectly flawless at that. When using this product bare-faced it tended to cake up and flake on my skin and it did the same whether I used my regular face lotion and also when I used my face primer. To further test it I tried it on my arms and eyes, and yes I had the same flakey-cakey results. Sadly I will not be buying this product again and I'll probably try to sell this on EBay. If I can't wear the product then there's no point in judging how it really worked aside from being cakey. With the cute packaging and $9 price I give this product 1/5 stars :P pathetic I bought the Eyeko Fat Balm in Minty flavored which I did enjoy and I think for awhile it had made my lips super soft although can't say it's still having that affect anymore. I'm going to go ahead and place an order to get my free strawberry flavored one as well. The major downfall to this is that its "fat" width of about a quarter in diameter makes this product hard to apply for small mouths and lips without getting it on your face. I give this product 3.5/5 stars :) not bad
Free from Eyeko I received several Eyeko Face Off Wipes which work pretty well and I wouldn't mind having these around in my travel bag. It also states it contains coconut which is one of my favvvv scents, although...I don't remember smelling it while using it. So far I'd say this is the best Eyeko product I've received and I'd give this 4/5 stars :D squeaky clean

Moove over May Flower

My 4th of July really wasn't anything too special...no thanks to Mr. Sweety...no comment. Anywayyyy...I went out to my typical bar spot to dance and what not, and when I left this was in the parking lot...A huge 20 foot tall Turkey Hill Napoleon flavored ice cream mascot of a cow attached to a trailer hitch on the back of a truck! This photo makes it look as big as the hotel, haha. I knew I should've brought my new cam :/ Dangit.

Nike Hunt

I've been on the hunt for a colorful pair of Nike's...where I actually dig the color scheme. I ended up finding a pair of Nike Air Prestige II...on clearance for $39.99, last size 10 they had for 'em at LFL (lucky me! hehe). Now that I know what size I wear in Nike's I can attempt to buy 'em online...which was part of my Nike objective as I've seen tons online that are better then the ones I've seen in the stores (the stores where I hardly get any help from the little teenie boppers working in their).
This color scheme reminds me of Doraemon...is that odd? haha. The other cool thing is that my China Glaze polish from the Kicks 2009 collection has the same dark color blue (Sky High-Top)as on these shoes, woot for matching.

Dreaming of...

I've noticed in 2 of my recent dreams that they've been about...skyscrapers! In this last dream I was on top of this super tall empty building, which is some-what old skool Vegas style(as I represent to you in this image I created via MS Paint) and taking photographs with my new cam. Sure I was scared sh*tless and ended up clinging outside the glass windows for dear life...needless to say I managed to save my life and wriggle my fat a** through one of its tiny windows back inside the building, fww.

So I decided to do some research on skyscraper dream interpretations and camera's, this is the simplest answer I could find...

-To see a skyscraper in your dream, represents your high ideals, creativity and imagination. You always aim high at whatever you do. It also suggests that you have great foresight.

-To see a camera in your dream, signifies your desires to cling on and/or live in the past. Alternatively, it may represent you need to focus on a particular situation. Perhaps you need to get a clearer picture or idea.

A few weeks ago I had a dream about rescuing a married co-worker crush of mine from a car in the freezing winter...I won't go into the fantasy details that were pertained in the dream but here are a few interpretations that may resolve the true issues at hand...

-To see a parked car in your dream, suggests that you need to turn your efforts and energies elsewhere. You may be needlessly spending your energy in a fruitless endeavour.

-To dream that you are caught in a trap, denotes that you feel confined and restricted in a job, career, health, or a personal relationship. It may also mean that you will be outwitted by your rivals.

-To dream of winter, signifies ill-health, depression.
