Top Ten Fave Songs

Hey guys. For some reason I felt like making a top ten songs of the moment post. So here it goes. These aren't my favourite songs of all time, because that would be impossible. These are just songs that I adore and listen and sing to all the time currently. Don't judge. =P

Gaslight Anthem - Old White Lincoln
These guys are freaking amazing. Everytime I listen to them I just feel like rocking out, as cliche as that sounds.

Aqua - Back to the Eighties
If you only look up one song from all the ones I list, please let it be this one! This is such a flashback to the eighties but in a nineties sounding way. Oh my gosh! I dance like crazy when this is on and love the lyrics. Maybe cause I always wish I grew up in the eighties.

Said the Whale - My Government Heart
This is a local band from my hometown Vancouver. But I think you should check them out. This song just has super cool lyrics.

Said the Whale - Out on the Shield
Ok so another one from my current fave local band. Maybe I'm just excited because I'm seeing them live this week. This song is catchy beyond belief. I'm always humming it. Youtube it. Now.

Florence and the Machine - You've Got the Love
This is what I call an "orgasm" song, where it like lifts up your heart till it feels like it's gonna burst. Makes sense eh? But seriously, this song is beautiful.

Mumfrod and Sons - Little Lion Man
This song reminds me of when I first moved out of my parents house because this album is all I listened too. Very soothing, very catchy, very nice.

Celine Dion - You and I
I'll admit it. I have a harsh love for Celine Dion. And I'm always obsessing over one of her songs. This is the current one. It makes me think of travelling with my loverr. =P

The XX - VCR
I used to listen to this song and drive. It's ridiculously calming.

Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
OMG. If this song doesn't make you dance, I dunno what will. My friend and I used to belt this out at the top of our lungs in the car and everyone in the backseat wanted to stab their ears. I hope you do the same.

The Script - Man Who Can't Be Moved
I just think of my best friend. And this song is very nice. I smile during the whole thing. Woop.

That is all. Let me know your fave songs too pretty please =)

Glamour Doll Eyes

Hey all! Long time no blog =) I'm currently uploading a haul video from glamour doll eyes and I said I was going to do a blog post with all the swatches. Well, I lied. I'm actually took photos of all the shadows I own, but I didn't get around to swatches yet. Don't fret though! Once my Halloween preorder sets come in, I'll get around to swatching everything. But for now, lets show you all the colours I own.

Photobucket


I'm going to start off with glitters, which are called eyelights on the glamour doll site. [all info where to purchase will be at the end]. These retail for $4.50 for the full size and are absolutely amazing.

Photobucket
Glowstick: A neon glow in the dark looking green glitter.

Photobucket
Fierce: A rich dark red, perfect for Christmas.

Photobucket
Techno: Bluish aqua glitter that reminds me of beach water.

Photobucket
Rave: The best purple glitter anyone could with for.

Photobucket
Cashed Out: This is vegas. At its finest.


Now onto the actual shadows, which retail for $6.00 for a full size jar. They are loosely arranged lightest to darkest.


Photobucket
Family Secret: This is actually from the "twi-shadows" which is a collection of shadows based upon the Twilight books. This is a shimmery white, perfect for highlighting.

Photobucket
Cloud Coverage: A matte white. From what I remember this shadow was reformulated and I have the old formulation, which is chalky and I barely use it. But hopefully the new formulation is as good as the rest of the matte shadows. =)

Photobucket
Electric Lemonade: Shimmery bright golden yellow. This shadow is so great for a fun look.

Photobucket
Juicy Mango: I bought this colour because of the name. /drool. This is a shimmery orange colour thats beautiful with Electric Lemonade.

Photobucket
Trophy Wife: This colour is often described as "liquid gold". I don't think I could come up with a better and more accurate description.

Photobucket
Bare Naked: A nice neutral beigey colour with a bit of shimmer. Very nice for all over the lid as an everyday look.

Photobucket
Strawberry Cupcake: A bright reddish bubblegum pink with shimmer. Did that make sense? Adore this colour, its fab.

Photobucket
Be Mine: What a nice colour! A bright pink with red undertones, shimmery and can also be sheered out for a more natural look.

Photobucket
Chocoholic: A dark brown shimmer with flecks of shimmer all throughout, and all the shimmers seem to be different colours. I think this is the perfect brown colour.

Photobucket
Boyfriend Sweater: A very dark brown with gold shimmer in it. Perfect paired in the crease with Chocoholic.

Photobucket
Lace Panties: A nice medium tones purple with gold shimmer.

Photobucket
Sugar Plum: Pretty purple with lots of different colours of shimmers in it.

Photobucket
Premonition: Another of the "twi-series" shadows, this is a grey-purple colour with sorta pinky shimmer in it.

Photobucket
Girlfriend Sweater: I also bought this because of the name. I had boyfriend sweater so I had to complete the set =P I do not regret this purchase! A perfect matte shade, dark purple. One of the better matte colours that I own.

Photobucket
Just Dance: My mothers favourite =) a dark greyish purple shadows with white and teal looking shimmer in it. Wonderful in the crease when you're going out for a night on the town. Nice alternative to a black and grey smoky eye.

Photobucket
Pistol Pistol: This colour seemed to be the most popular of the colours that were recently added to the site. It's a dark grey colour with mulit-coloured shimmers in it, and I looove it for all over the eye with a matte black in the crease. Ultimate party makeup.

Photobucket
Shamrock: Super shimmery bright green colour. Ridiculously pigmented and for some reason its the only shadow that seems to get on everything. I open it, and there is a clump on my pants instantly. Poop. But it is a gorgeous colour.

Photobucket
Olivia Green: I've raved about this before. Dark forest matte green. This is what I would call a perfect eyeshadow. So easy to blend that I can barely believe it. Great for a lid colour, a crease colour, everywhere. Maybe not so much a highlight =P

Photobucket
Backstabber: Extremely pretty foresty grey green with shimmer to it. It's nice if you want colour but nothing too extremely obvious.

Photobucket
Island Chic: Beautiful turquoise colour! The gold shimmer in it makes it the perfect summer colour. I wish this came in nail polish form too. =)

Photobucket
Fabulous: A baby blue shimmer colour. It's very nice, but kinda reminds me of Mimi from Drew Carey and that throws me off. Of course you can make beautiful looks with it, but I don't reach for it that often.

Photobucket
Blueberry Lush: This colour is sexy. A medium blue colour, shimmery and so pigmented that it's amazing. It's such a vibrant colour, easily on par with the famous MUFE #92 purple shadow.

Photobucket
Hello Brooklyn: Dark nightime blue with turquoise and blue shimmers. This is so pretty as an eyeliner.

Photobucket
Ahoy Sailor!: Dark matte blue. I've raved enough about glamour doll matte shadows. It's a wonderful colour.
