new job !

Hi loves!

I need to start actually posting on this more often.... haha but anyways I got a new job at the beginning of February!! :D FINALLYYY! Well what happened was I applied for the job online on macys.com and it was for a full time position as a "beauty consultant." So I was called in for an interview and basically they told me the full time position was "frozen", whatever that means, and that they could give me an on call position and work all of the cosmetic and beauty counters. So of course I took it anyway because I needed a job so badly and it was working with makeup so how could i say no?! (: Needless to say, I love it! I've worked pretty much every counter so far and I'm loving it. Being surrounded by makeup and perfume and skin care all day, how could i go wrong? I love that I can test the makeup that they have out. When it gets slow, which happens kinda often, I can just try out different lipsticks and blushes and perfumes! I'm in makeup heaven, hahahah! I've mostly been working at Lancome which I have come to loveeeee. I'm really hoping they give me a full time position there because I love it, I love the girls that work there, I love the makeup line, I love it all. It is pretty expensive, but the makeup is such good quality you just can't pass it up!! I've already made friends at work, and I also have friends that I worked with at Target working with me too, it's so exciting! :D But yeah, I get to put makeup on people, help people with skincare problems, etc. And I seriously love itt. I can't say that enough!

Face of the day

Hey loves :)

I'm just gonna do a face of the day from yesterday. I didn't do anything, I was just bored and decided to do my makeup :)

I just did a silver and black smokey eye with hot pink on the bottom lashline.

I used my NP Set - Smoke Signals for the smokey eye, Wet n' Wild Trio in I'm Feeling Retro for the hot pink on the bottom lashline, Maybelline's The Falsies mascara in Black Drama, Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil in Zero, Avon's liquid eyeliner in Evening Black. And for my lips I used Rimmel's Airy Fairy Lipstick and a gloss on top, but I don't remember which one it was because I tried out a few different ones to see what I liked best lol.

Anyway, today I had an interview (FINALLY!) at Macy's for one of their cosmetic counters. :D But let me start from the beginning... Like 3 days ago I applied online for this job at Macys. And everything was online, no phone calls or anything. So once I finished my application and submitted it, they sent me a confirmation e-mail stating that they had received my application and that I should get an e-mail in a few days saying whether they wanted to interview me or not. So yesterday night I got an e-mail saying that they wanted to interview me and that I just had to schedule an appointment. And all of this was online too...There was a link in my e-mail to the scheduling center or whatever it was called lol. So I scheduled it for 3:45pm today. So I went there and told them I had an interview and they started calling people and whatnot. And finally this lady came over to me and was like "Well since we have no control over the scheduling since its all online... our cosmetic manager isn't here today to give you an interview, so would you be able to come in tomorrow or Sunday?" And I'm thinking in my head "How do you not have control over the scheduling? It's macys.com, and this is Macys....aren't they the same thing...? And if they aren't able to control the scheduling, don't use it! Just call and make an appointment...right?" So I was like "Yeah sure!" But yeah, I have my real interview at 2:30 tomorrow :D I'm really excited. My friend Tom works there and I haven't seen him in soooo long, and he used to work at Target with me, so I'm excited to work with him again.

I'm not sure what makeup counter their going to put me at or if I'm going to need training or whatnot, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I need a job sososoosooooo badly! I literally sit home and do nothing because I have no money to do anything. And plus all of my friends and my boyfriend are 21+ and I'm still 20, wahhhhh. So I can never go out with them :( LESS THAN 4 MONTHS!!!!! I can't wait :) Okay enough of my rambling, see yaaaa<3333

XOXOX

Physicians Formula Plump Potion Mascara

Hey loves (:

I bought the Physicians Formula Plump Potion Mascara in Black Potion yesterday at CVS, in the crazy 75% off sale. I didn't do a blog post about yesterdays trip because I mostly bought things for my sister for her birthday, but I did get 3 things for myself which included the Plump Potion. I was a little wary about buying this because the packaging said your lashes will be 4x fuller, 3x longer and it has a 7x plumping effect. So I really didn't believe that it did THAT much magic on your lashes, and the wand is just a normal looking wand, nothing special or exciting. But I got it anyway being that it was 75% off (;

The packaging also says that it's fiber-free, oil-free, flake-free & smudge-free. And that it uses "ActiPlump" which is an advanced lash maximizing technology.

So I tried it out today, and I was very pleasantly surprised! This stuff works!

I put a lottt of coats on, but I do that with allll my mascaras no matter what, because I like my lashes long and volumized!  So the more coats of this Plump Potion you put, the more luscious your lashes will be.

I have some pictures, but they were taken with my Droid so I'm sorry if their not that great.

 This is the packaging.

This is a before and after picture (it's kinda backwards, I know! lol)

But I curled my lashes before I put the mascara on, and on the eye that has no mascara I also curled my lashes.

And here's a few more pictures! :)

I recommend anyone who loves long lashes run to your nearest CVS and grab it before it's gone!
