Silly Ode to April - EOTD

The saying says "april showers" and where I live that is currently very true! But without the showers, no May flowers so I guess I'm paying it a tribute. Either way, I'm happier with this rain than the gross incessant ice and slush that came before!
But, this is me we're talking about. So am I really going to do some kind of rainy blue look, or grey like stormclouds to dedicate to this month? Of course not! That would be too sensible! Instead, I'd like to introduce my friend the snail, who devours my plants every year without fail as soon as they start to grow again. I don't actually have a huge problem with snails nomming on plants.... unless it's lettuce, because who wants to eat the leafy leftovers of someone else, really? Other than that, I don't really mind them. In fact, I think the little critters are kinda cute. I have a weakness for cute things. And unfortunately I find a lot of things to be cute... including little garden pests :) But sorry, I'll stop burbling and get straight to it!
Here's the look I've created!! Yes, it's a snail. So the paragraph above wasn't just me losing my mind. Or maybe it was, but there is method in my madness. That's right, I just quoted Hamlet, in a garbled sort of way. Oh dear -.-
AHEM!
I used the following:
Nijiro - Fyrinnae
Aztec Gold - Fyrinnae
Chrome - Fyrinnae
Atomic Afterglow - Fyrinnae
Chronos - Aromaleigh
Hollywood - Glamour Doll Eyes
And I'm a bit lazy right now, so I won't specify what I used on which part, but if you'd like to know then feel free to ask in the comments and I'll tell you :)
On to the (many) pictures! As always, click to zoooooom!

That's about it. Don't you love the glittery snail trail? Hehehe. Comment please :D and thanks for reading. Have a wondrous April!

Upcoming posts and that kinda jazz

Hey guys! I haven't posted in a bit, which makes me feel lame now since this post doesn't include any looks or pretty pictures or anything :(
I just wanted to tell you what's up for now:
I'll be swatching my Glamour Doll Eyes sample baggies (lotsa glitter!)
Fyrinne swatches (I got Mephisto and CAN'T. STOP. LOOKING. AT. IT. It's so beautiful!)
China Glaze Crackle review (I got one! Yes! This particular post will happen when my nails stop being ugly... so yeah, the future.) <<<<< Heh, that's my optimism talking XD
Speaking of nails, I splurged a tiny bit and went for the 3 for $5 deal at Zoya (I guess that's more of a steal than a splurge) and I got the tip-off from xSparkage... I can't find the deal thingy on the Zoya site any more which bums me out a little cause I feel like I should have the link for it in here.
Uhm.......... Oh!
Then we come to the reason for this post, kinda. Yeah, you know that unobtrusive little poll I have over to this side? >>>>>
Well I've been looking at it (5 votes so far!) and OCC Lip Tar is winning. Now that's fine with me because I have been dying to try these. I only have a few red lippies. And I'm like some hopeless lovestruck loony who doesn't care how unrequited her love is when it comes to red lips. They can push me away or make me look like hell but I'll run back to them every time. I think (or I hope) that they're finally bending to my will a little (okay, ENOUGH with the love metaphor here cause I'm just not gonna draw it out any more hehe) because I've gotten compliments on my red lips the last two times I've tackled the crazy color. What this all boils down to, is that I ordered a Lip Tar in NSFW. For those of you who don't know, I'm pretty sure this stands for Not Safe For Work. Either that or Nosy Seals Fear Windshields. But yeah, I think it's the first. So I'm SUPAAAAH excited about that because I have heard so many great things about these products and I've never tried anything from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics before. If I like this stuff as much as everyone says I will, then I will definitely be buying Beta, Reverb, and Anime next! Time to go for something a little crazier and try to master it. Anyway, here's the link for the OCC site: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. Have you tried them before? Do you want to? ARE YA GONNA?! Comment below, and thanks for being my lovely readers :) I can't tell you how much I appreciate you

As to that weird squawky noise I just made...

Hehe I'm glad no one heard that. I have to apologize for being all un-posty recently. I'm so sorry! Things have been CRAZY around here! I think I'm back now though.
So, back to the title. I can't believe I haven't posted about this already, but I placed more orders with Fyrinnae! I ran out of Pixie Epoxy last week (imagine that!) and I've been dying without it. If you've never noticed the difference in your shadows since you bought your first Pixie Epoxy let me tell you... it looks like I mixed my shadows with dust before I applied them. The foiled-look-without-foiling is gone, my friends. But as I said I ordered more. Salvation is on its way! Now I placed my order earlier this week. Fyrinnae's TAT is currently 26-28 business days. So I was all prepared to settle in for a longish wait and just deal with the lackluster eyeshadow payoff. BUT! Have I mentioned the guys at Fyrinnae are not only wizards who recieve the dragonscales that go into their eyeshadows straight off the organic vine of the tofu-dragon (no real dragons though cause after all they ARE vegan, so no real dragonscales) but they are also masters of QUICK SHIPPING!? Well, they are. I got an email today saying my order had already shipped. Thank you Fyrinnae, you've done it again! I was so happy I actually did make some weird bird sounds... so if some of you are still confused by the title of this post... ^.^
So that's my raving for the day over with, but I had to put that out there! Fyrinnae is most definitely my top favorite cosmetics company of all time.
I'll have the swatches and stuff up as soon as I recieve my incoming orders. Also, my Hi Fi order (well, one of them anyway) arrived, as did six sample shadows from My Pretty Zombie (and they're all stunning) so those review/swatches should be up within the week. I also placed an order with Glamour Doll Eyes today. Not sure when that will get here. That pretty much sums up all the stuff I've gotten and will be getting so far.
I also got that Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum in Ultra Black last time I was in CVS. So at some point in time I'll post a review on that... but I'm gonna wait and see if it works for now. It's a nice liner pen so far!

Enough of my babbling though. Comment! And have a great week :)
