what i'm loving: makeup & a recipe

hi guys! i haven't used all of my new sigma stuff yet, so i'll have to post about them later, but i HAD to post about this newly discovered bread recipe and decided to include what i had so far for the what i'm loving post. sorry again for using my phone for these pictures! paul helped me pick out a new camera, so hopefully i'll get it for my birthday.. *hint hint* ~L-c ^.~

current dorama i'm liking: Love Buffet -- it kind of reminds me of Peach Girl, minus Sae...thank god!

Urban Decay cosmetics:

swatched over ud original primer: midnight cowboy, midnight rodeo, midnight 15, ac/dc

Midnight Emergency Kit: comes with full sized "Midnight Cowboy" lip junkie lip gloss and an eye brush. i love the colors that come in this set! i'll admit that AC/DC and Midnight Rodeo by themselves are a bit dark for me, but can definitely be toned down by blending other shades. i had a deluxe sample size of the gloss and i love it too. it's a sheer and verrrrry sparkly gloss. it's a little tacky but not terribly sticky and the scent is minty. if you don't eat or blot it away, it lasts a couple hours.

 

• Eyeshadow primer potion size comparisons; travel/deluxe sample size ($9 or 100 points occasionally at sephora), regular size - vintage bottle (on clearance due to new squeeze tubes), xl - vintage bottle (on clearance). they also sell professional size tubes (in original only). again, sorry for the blurry picture..sin looks like it's a more bronze color with a nice shimmer. in order of how much i like them, i think i like greed the most, then sin, eden, and original. ...maybe i like greed and sin mostly because they're sparkly and not matte... >w<
• Perversion eye pencil: (travel size from electric pencil set, regular size) this is the darkest black i've ever tried and i absolutely LOVE it. i'm still new to using liquid eyeliners, i really prefer pencil as far as control goes. this is a comparison of all the black pencils i own, along with the perversion liquid eyeliner. the perversion pencil (1 stroke) is a darker, creamier black than zero (3 strokes). click for a review of perversion pencil. in all honesty, i feel like the perversion pencil is more worthwhile than the liquid...and basically every other black pencil liner i've tried. i'm not sure if it's because i rub my eyes a lot, but the perversion and revolver liquids crumble off after several hours... like less than 12...

• Seche Vite: this is the favorite top coat of a lot of bloggers/vloggers. it is also sold at sally's. apply over wet nails; dries fast. DO NOT apply over nails inc. magnetic nail polish, it will blur the effect to almost nothing. if you work with your hands a lot--like i do, this stuff will be about the same as any other top coat. my nails chipped about four hours after painting, while making bread (see below).
• Perfect Formula
  → Pink Gel Coat: this is exactly like the clear-pink polish they use in salons for french manicures, only way better. i usually apply 2 coats alone for a more natural look.
  → Clear Gel Coat: i also like to use this alone, but can be used as a top coat. my mom likes using it over a salon mani/pedi to "seal" it better and she claims her polish lasts longer this way. the clear and the pink last about 1-2 weeks.

Food:

so paul and i tried out the "Everyday Bread" recipe in Make the Bread, Buy the Butter and it didn't turn out so good. i may try it again sometime, but it was hard as a rock to saw through and only tasted good hot out the oven. >.> anyway, in an effort to use up the rest of the wheat flour we bought (and try to make bread vs. buying it), i went looking for other bread recipes. and thus, we tried this one. i ate an end before taking the pic. yum! ^^;
*note: do not use as many oats as i did on the top; they do not all stick, making it difficult to remove from the pan..mess-free.
**note: half the loaf is already gone, less than an hour later. ^________________^
***gone in less than 24 hours..
