Makeup Mayhem and Stuff


I have not been active in blogging lately. We've been quite busy this past week. I've learned that we will be moving out of Wichita pretty soon and I'm quite excited about that. I'll be missing our flat and the conveniency of living downtown with everything in all walking distance.

Here's my past week in summary. Please visit and follow me on my new Instagram account @diary_ofbrokegirl. It is so much easier to just post pictures at this time unfortunately.




I've received my palettes last week from BH Cosmetics and I would rate this 5/5 The palettes are very highly pigmented and the prices are ridiculously low. I've also bought a couple of items besides the palettes. I love their Onyx Gel Liner and also their Olive Concealer.

Sweater Weather


I've always lived in a city that has an extreme bipolar weather. Right now Kansas sky is gloomy, dark and rainy. Not that I'm complaining. I think that it's a nice break from the headache inducing heat wave we've been having lately. So this is definitely a welcome change.

I love waking up to this kind of weather, sweater weather. Pull out my cute socks, my oh-so-comfy sweaters, light some of my scented candles and lounge around the house reading books, blogging, trolling my favorite online stores, painting my nails and whatever else strikes my fancy. Just me and my trusted sweater, my journal and my thoughts. 

Found a dupe of Models Own Speckled Egg nail polish at Forever21

Currently playing right now on my Drama Fever Channel: The Heirs (Korean Drama) 
Currently on repeat on my playlist : Ellie Goulding "Beating Heart" from Divergent Soundtrack
Skip the overly expensive scented candles from Yankee Candles and get Glade Candles instead. Half the price of Yankee Candles and smells divine.

On Nail Polish and Bows


I usually don't post this late but I just had to share. The mister and I went out to run some errands today and ended up at the mall. I wasn't really planning on buying anything since I just ordered a "few" stuff online and can't really think of anything else at the moment that I need.


I went to Forever 21 to kill time. I don't really like their clothes because it's always been a hit or miss with me in regards to sizes but I love their jewelries and lounge wear and most of their hair accessories.

I was browsing in their jewelry section and was looking for more cute midi-rings and I found a couple of little hair bows and head band that has that wire inside that looks exactly like Brandy Melville's and they were 2.80 for two bows and 3.80 for the head band. I just had to get them! LOL!


Also found some nail polish that are dupes of Models Own Speckled Eggs Nail Polish. I have been fighting the urge to buy those online but can't really justify the 6.00 dollars per nail polish price. I mean it's a nail polish and it's not even Chanel. The Forever 21 are absolute dupes! I will have to "shower" test them and see how long they will last and also if they are easy to apply. But for 3.80, you really can't go wrong with that.
