Purple hair + other randomosities

 So I tried to dye my hair blue with Manic Panic semi-permanent dye, but it came out TERRIBLE. I guess I kind of expected it since blue + yellow = green but seriously, my hair looked like what I can only describe as Oscar the grouch being obliterated and his remains splattering all over my hair. Yeah.......it was that bad.

So I had a little bit of my Fuschia dye left from before and I diluted the crap out of it and tried to overlay it on top of the green/blue fiasco. Turned out okay but now my hair has a lot of random color streaking. In some ways, it's kinda cool but at the same time, it's a little weird looking in person lol. Well at least it's only semi-permanent. I'll enjoy/hate it while it lasts. :P
It does have an ombre effect at the tips, which kind of just happened accidentally because my tips were much more on the 'whiter' side of blonde than the rest of my hair.
The contacts I got are Honoo Violet lenses or something like that, I got these ShoppingHolics I believe. lol I forget. This is what it looks like in room light.

My makeup station. I got another container thing from Target (on the left side) to store all my big brushes and BB creams and etc stuff. I like that the brush holder is actually meant for a blowdryer lol
My mascara stash. I honestly do not even know why I buy mascara. I don't know if this is considered "a lot" or "little" to most girls but seriously, I think I've used all of these maybe like once or twice. I might do a review on all of them esp. for girls like me because I have NO LASHES. I mean, you know girls say that all the time (esp Asian girls) but no really, I really have very short lashes that are almost invisible. So if I want dramatic, I just use falsies. They are so much easier! The only mascara I have not used at all yet is the Falsies volume express one by mabeline (it's the pink one). My favorite/most used mascara is a combination of Lash Accelerator and that black Loreal waterproof mascara next to it. LOOVE that Loreal one! Makes my almost non existent lashes exist!
On a last random note, my boyfriend got me a DeathAdder as an early bday present LOL. The DeathAdder was actually my first gaming mouse which I bought super long ago (I believe 3-4yrs ago??) and it broke on me like a few weeks ago. It was the best mouse ever. Countless games of Counterstrike, Left4Dead, and LoL were played with that mouse. Then I had to substitute a shitty mouse to play LoL until now. YAYYY love this mouse!! /geeking

My Princess Camera!!! [jeweled]

I can't believe I actually decided to do this, but I tried to "decoden" my LX5 just because it's something I've always wanted to do to my electronics but didn't have the balls to do. In fact, I'm still not sure I have the balls to do it. I don't know what came over me.

Speaking of LX5............so guess which camera I decided to keep? :D Yeah, I ended up going with the Lumix because the Olympus has been having a focusing issue and it really bugs me. Upon further inspection of the lens on the Olympus.....I saw a small very tiny but visible CRACK! I think that's why it's been having the focusing issue. Although oddly enough, people are saying on forums that the XZ-1 is known for focusing a bit off.....but the crack still bugs me and I know it didn't come from me so I'm returning the Olympus. I wanted to keep both because I had such a hard time choosing but I guess this is a sign. I'm sure my bf is ecstatic because he hated that I was trying to keep both cameras. lol It's okay, that means I can save up for that sexy D60 (Canon) that I will......have in.........10yrs or so. ;___;

The rest of the comparison reviews will unfortunately have to be canceled like a good TV show and given a choppy ending for viewer sake. Beyond the focusing issue (whether it's the crack's fault or not...) I did play with both a good amount so I have a good summary of the two. I'll post the finale to that comparison review when I'm not busy with midterms and projects.

Anyway, back to the topic...........I didn't actually bling the entire camera because I ran out of the swarovski crystals!! But I think it's okay. I kind of don't want the entire camera to be blinged. The cool thing about the glue I used is that it's strong but can also be 'rubbed off'. So if I really wanted to, I can just take off the bling and resell the camera in it's original form but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen because so far I like the Lumix more for "fast" photography. The olympus takes brilliant photos but sometimes is a bitch to take a quick pic cuz of the focusing issue.

I'll shut up now and show you the camera. It's not perfect in any way. In fact, there were so many ugly little pot holes that I couldn't cover up that I very gracefully had to cover them up with PS twinkles. At least it looks cuter that way.

 I actually painted the hand grip part with spray paint. Let me just say.......ITS A BITCH AND ONLY DO IT IF YOU'RE SUPER DUPER CAREFUL. I used tape to cover the rest of the camera and then used a paper to surround only the grip part to spray paint. I was super careful too but when I took the tape off, the surrounding area had pink paint splattered all over it! Let me just say, if you're thinking of doing something similar to cover up an ugly hand grip on your camera or something similar, TAKE THE TAPE OFF IMMEDIATELY. You might think, shouldnt I wait for it to dry so the paint won't drip? NO. Because the paint can get underneath the tape still and drip under it and if it dries, IT DRIES. So it's better that it's wet so you can take a thin object with a blunt end (like a mechanical pencil) cover the tip with a paper towel and wipe around. That's why it looks so clean on mine. It was a hassle though.
 My rhinestone landyards I scored on ebay for $3 each!

 Nothing really special on the back, just some row of larger crystals.
So many ugly potholes but only the one side is blinged :3


IT`S SO FUCKING GIRLY. DUFUQ.

I don't even know if this camera matches ME because I dress pretty casually lol. But it's so cute and blingy man how can you hate? :P

I loved my bf's response to it after showing it to him.
"It's so......................um................pink."
