Don't count the miles/Count the I love yous

I think I should start out this blog post with an explanation. I've been gone from the youtube and blogging sphere for a very long time (about a month). But, honestly, my only excuse is, I've been busy. And this is completely true. I've been busy with applications to college and with various other applications. Besides this, I've been using up my time by spending more time in extracurriculars, friends and with just myself. It has been so nice to have a break but, I'm back!

I've been dabbling around with my shopping lately: just buying a few things here and there. So, I decided to do a haul on my first video back (because I know everyone loves a good haul). This haul is decently sized, considering it's over about a month period of time. I have my thoughts on most of these products because I've tried out almost all of them.

• YSL Parisenne Perfume, 1oz. 
• Fusion Beauty "Sculpt Diva" Blush with Amplifat in Cherub
• Smith's Rosebud Lipbalm
• Tokidoki Roberry Palette
• NARS eyeshadow in Night Sun
• Bare Escentuals eyeshadow duo in the Ephiphany
• Ellis Faas Glossy Lip Lipglosses in 301, 303 and 308
• NYC Eyelash Curler
• NYC Curling Mascara
• Sephora Ribbon Hair ties

On a side note, The song reference is Miles by Christina Perri if you didn't get it. These lyrics are just so good. Read through them and listen to the song when you get the chance.
"I’m scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left

Proud of me, that’s the only way I want you to be
Look at me and love what you see
I won’t make it alone, I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s

We made it out, and all the other people are asking how
This doesn’t even sound like truth to grow from a bruise
But one day we will realize how hard it was, how hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s

And these are words I wished you said
But that’s not how it went
‘Cause you gave up on us in the end
And I won’t make it alone, I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles, count the “I love you”s "

I miss the days where you reached out to me all the time

Okay. I know this was like a year ago, even more. All of you. But, you suck. I don't get over things easily, and sometimes I remember everything in one night. Everything every person has done to me, and it's pretty sad. Maybe it's my problem but, I think it's yours. I think we all need to do this once in our life. So, cheers, here's a letter to you, yeah you, who broke my heart.

Dear You,

I have a problem; I never say anything when I have to. But, I'm saying it now and it honestly doesn't even matter that this is delayed (by years even). Let me get this straight for you: you can't pretend to love someone when you really don't. Heck, you can't pretend to love two people at once because, well, that's not love. Get your words straight. If you're infatuated with me, that's fine. Just don't say "I love you." I know you don't. Don't tell me "you care about me" in response to "I love you" and run away while you can. Stand up like a man, and just say it to my face. It'd be nice if you accounted my feelings in this too. You can't just pretend this is real and leave, without anything. We all make mistakes. But, no "Sorry" is inexcusable in my book. So go, actually, run because you'll never want to come back. You hurt me, sure. And I'll never be over the fact that you're an absolute jerk. The fact that I actually invested something in you. I have no faith in you and less in myself because I ever did in you. I'm better off without you. Better off without any of you. Oh, and fyi, I've never looked better even in baggy sweatpants. Thought you should know.

Sincerely, your biggest fan,
Christie.

Your words are the most beautiful to my ears;

I just wanted to share the pictures of a makeup tutorial I'll upload shortly - it's for rainbow liner. I edited this pictures so my skin looks really weird but, the colors are really true to color. So yay me! (Suite Life reference)

Bare Study Paintpot (base)
Sleek Makeup Palette in Storm (as lid and crease color)
Almay Liquid liner in black
BH Cosmetics 120 palette in v. 3
Almay Get up and Grow Mascara

Besides this, I also wanted to share something I've been thinking about lately. We have to write these journal things in English class and he just lets us write whatever we want for about 10 minutes, twice a week. It's pretty relaxing but, somehow all my journal entries come out really depressing. But, I was just thinking about how people automatically assume, somewhere in their brains that beautiful people are good people. And, I mean seriously, if you honestly think about it, aren't we all really, really superficial? It's kind of disgusting honestly. I wish I wasn't this way.

Truth is, our time spent together is the best.

I took a simple outfit (from quite a while ago, it's currently like 65 degrees in the afternoon here) and just added a bunch of necklaces to it. Really super simple. Supery Duperdy simple but, I guess I prioritize school and forget about everything else. And I mean, I've never been that adventurous of a dresser anyways.

Sweater: Charlotte Russe
Tank: A  Apparel
Shorts: J. Crew
Necklaces: Juicy Couture (both)
Hair - In it's natural glory (it really is getting long)
Makeup- Sleek Makeup Palette

My heart's in the cloud but, my mind brings it down

So.. September. This month and I have a love-hate relationship. I guess the fact that school has started hasn't really hit me yet. Probably because of the fact that all the work I should be doing hasn't been given to me yet (Yay?) but I know in one week I'm going to be like, why did I ever think senior year could be good. Anyways, it was really hot yesterday. But, I went to walk my dog today and it was cold. So, I don't really know what's up with that. There's really not much to say, maybe next time?
