Smoky Green EOTD/FOTD & Lucky Chinese Tag

Played with some greens today since I wore a green shirt. It's been awhile since I used more vibrant color! Back in the day I would rock blues all day every day. Why? I have no idea!

Today I felt greeny ♥ Lime green is one of my fav colors, so I used a lil bit of that and smoked it out. My skin is crap lately because I ate Taco Bell chalupas 3 days in a row this week. Why do they have to be so damn good?!

  9. AHH! I'm tagged!!! I'm excited, it's the first time!!!

    I love your eyes! The green is soooo pretty!!!

    I know what you mean, I used to eat at Taco Bell every other day since it was right by my house. Baja Blast is yumms. Then I found a bug in my burrito. So I always open my stuff before I eat it. I'm so paranoid. LOL!

  11. wowwww... green's definitely one of my fave colours too (that and black!)... i looove how you put in a dark e/s near the inner corner of your eyes too! i usually stick with just putting it in the outer corners then smoking it up to my crease.

  13. "LIVE, LEARN, & LIFE GOES ON. Sh!t happens... deal with it" Love this *and* your FOTD!

  14. OoOo I love the EOTD! (>_<) Favorite color! :D And thanks for the plug ;) OoOo and a tag! I don't think I've done one in a while. Thanks! :D

    Mmm yeah, I didn't really care for Rainbow Friends too much. The place was alot more rundown, stinky, and messy than many other sanctuaries I've been to. But they are doing it as all volunteer, so it's still pretty good. Yeah, it's sad they euthanize at the Humane Society. :( I fell in LOVE with one of the puppies there :( I wanted to take her home right then! lol. She got taken home by the family who adopted her though. It looked like she went to a good home so I'm glad :D

    Haha. I had a similar experience when I was little. I got "run over" by a big dog when I was really little so I had a fear of big dogs for a while. Luckily I've been surrounded by dogs for much of my life so the fear eventually faded. haha ;)

    Yeah, I'm definitely not gonna buy the sunscreen again. It's so unheard of that they didn't post that information on their actual site (product page) for customers to read. It's like they're trying to take the upperhand by leaving their customers confused. And I wasn't too happy with Michelle's tone in the response she sent me. I thought customer service reps were supposed to be polite? ("I've emailed everyone back who complained"). :S Besides, it leaves a white-ish tint to my skin cuz of my "tan" :S And the whole "can't get just a pea-size" thing. It's definitely hassle I can live without.
