Sigma Brushes

I got my Sigma brushes in the other day and my first impression was that they are a really nice quality.  I used three of them this morning to apply my makeup and I really liked how they applied my shadow so overall I am quite pleased, which I knew I would be but ya know!!!  So anyway, I had been contemplating about whether to get them or not and finally I did.  I also got the Sigma brush roll so that way when I travel my little brushes will be as snug as a bug in a rug :) Here are some pictures of the eye brush kit that I purchased.  Enjoy!

What's In My Bag and Organizational Tips

Hello lovies,
I got my school bag in the mail the other day and so I used it for school today (first day of testing it out) and I absolutely love it!  It is such a better bag than the one I was using from Target.  The straps on this bag are so nice and squishy and thick, they didn't hurt my shoulders at all and I have a pretty heavy bag.  There are so many compartments and places to store things all over!  I really like the design and the color and just the overall feel of this bag.  It just seems like a really durable, good quality bag!  So on to what's in it :)  I carry my laptop in there which is what I take most if not all of my notes, I carry two Paul Frank folders - one for my paper work from the classes I TA for and the other I carry loose leaf note paper (just in case I need paper because I don't carry a notebook to school with me), I also have the essentials like my pencil case, calculator, wallet, umbrella (it rains a lot in FL), sweater, headphones, mints, etc...  Sometimes I will bring a lunch to school and then I will put my lunch box with ice pack in my bad too.

As for organizational type tips...I like to make tons and TONS of flash cards.  I find myself to be a visual and auditory learning so when I am reading I read aloud (sounds kind of weird I know but that's how I do it).  I also take notes on my laptop in class but then when I come home I rewrite them into a designated notebook (which I leave at home), and I highlight all the important information that shows up both in the lecture/slides and in the book.  I make flash cards based on the information I have highlighted!  I am also studying to take the GRE (Graduate Record Exam - to get into Grad school) and I have made flash cards for vocab words as well.  Hmmm what else...oh yea, I like to color code everything in my planner so for instance blue=lab stuff, baby pink=TA stuff, hot pink=personal stuff, green=work at restaurant stuff, purple=class schedule, highlighted yellow=important deadlines/papers/assignments/proctoring exams.  I have filled in the months of September, October, November, and December already so that I know how to allocate my time accordingly.  One thing that has worked wonders for me (and I know this will be easier said than done) but MANAGE YOUR TIME!! I am a huge procrastinator but one thing you will start to realize (as I have) is that as your classes get harder or you have just a boat load of stuff going on, you need to manage your time and plan EVERYTHING out.  One of the reasons I have the little "check mark" boxes next to my assignments and things I need to do is so that I can get the satisfaction of actually checking something off my list of stuff I HAVE TO GET DONE :)  This is the first year/semester that I have done this (and I actually got this little tidbit of information from another youtuber) and it has been working wonders for me!

Ok here are some pictures :) ENJOY

Pretty New Nail Polish

So after school I went to target to get a new lighted mirror (which sucks by the way and I'm taking it back) and I happened to pass by the nail polish section and I saw this really pretty pastel purple.  I also found my all time favorite top coat, which I haven't been using in a while, maybe because I lost it or ran out (I don't know) but I picked up that as well.

Fun Things :)

So I have decided to do a back to school "What's in my school bag" video as soon as my bag comes in the mail.  The estimated arrival is the 10th and that is far to long to wait!  I am really excited to get it and finally bring it to school (I mean I've been going to school now for over 2 weeks...) 

Oh, I have purchased some things for the 2nd and 3rd place winners of the contest and they will be pleasantly surprised!  I am also trying to find the naked palette by Urban Decay because that is just a darling palette. 

Last night while I was buying my boyfriends birthday present I went on and bought some sigma eye brushes and also some MAC stuff from the Feline Collection so I will be doing a haul video soon along with putting some swatches up here.  I am really excited for the nail polish I got!  I actually just watched a video with AllthatGlitters21 and she bought the same nail polish I picked out and the color on video looks really nice. 

Well I am actually at school right now so I will be going but I just wanted to post a blog with some fun things!

Byee lovies :)
