I can't ever seem to get these Ardell Pixies on properly. The positioning always differs on one eye - see how the right eye lashes are angled upward more below? Do you have that problem?

In other news, I failed a road test today. Not too happy about having to re-do it, re-pay the test fees, re-pay the car fees, and waste another "vacation" day to re-take it. Its such a waste of time and money, which bothers me more than the fact that I failed. I guess the worst feeling though, is knowing that I could've passed if I hadn't been nervous about it.
It seems my addiction to makeup / cosmetics is becoming more moderate. I stopped by the mall after the test to see if retail therapy would make me feel better. Surprisingly I didn't buy anything, even though my wishlist is already quite long. All I did was pick up some samples from Sephora. I got the SA to make me samples of the MUFE HD primers as I'm currently on a primer hunt. I've tried 3 primers already but I want to try as much as possible of other products before settling on one to buy.
Speaking of samples, while I was at the MAC freestanding store, I asked the MA for a sample of Antique Green pigment and she said they no longer give out pigment samples :S I don't know if its like that at all stores and counters yet but I hope not.

purple looks so good on you! I've only tried wearing false lashes once, and failed miserably, haha...might be time to try them again, but I guess it just takes some practice.
hi there! i certainly hope not: it'll be too bad if mac really stops giving out pigment samples!
u know what, i often go window-shopping too without buying anything, partly because i buy less but i go for quality stuff.
real sorry u didn't pass the road test. if it's any consolation, i drove into opposite traffic during my test! :-D
really love the pixies falsies on u! i have the same problem of having one side of the lashes pointing up higher than the other side, but i think it's because in generally the eyes can't be 100% identically. i usually just use a quarter of the strip lash on the end of my eyes. u still get a wink effect but it's faster and fool-proof.
Oh WOW>. you know I love every single one of those purple looks you do..
blog hoppin'! love the blue <3
Yay high five on purple eyes, haha. You look great with the lashes and the angling is hardly noticeable!
Sorry you have to retake the road test, that really sucks... :[
I haven't bought makeup in a while! My hands are itching and I'm REALLY holding myself back, haha.
So pretty! ive not wore "colour" in a while now :/
I love the violet blue eye shadow. Cornflower is very petty on you.
Oo.. Nice eye makeup!
I sometimes have the same problem with falsies, one tends to be higher.
& it sucks that you have to do your road test again.
Good luck next time!(:
mayaari: thanks! yep practice helps. Also I use a lash placement tool I got from Sephora which works better than tweezers :)
cheryl: I know :( thanks for the consolation lol :)
purple snowflake: i like the looks you do too!
dyahalit: thanks! i've added you too btw :)
fuzkittie, phyrra, & ally: thank you for the consolation :) i hope I pass it next time!
nicnic: I miss your coloured looks actually!
Gorgeous!! I love, love, love the lashes, and the purple is to-die-for!
This EOTD definitely rocks! I am so sorry about failing the road test...its just not the right time maybe... cheer up! you really look pretty ! Love this look on you!
This is a very pretty look. The lashes look good on you, too. I don't use falsies, but I've seen those falsie applicators that help to put them on. Have you tried using that?
Your looks are always so feminine and flirty; I'm jealous. :P
Girl, I have that problem with falsies ALL. THE. TIME. Which is why I hardly wear them. They always look different on each eye and I can't seem to get them on properly. *woe*
