OhhMahGawd!!

Foundation Swatch Attack!!!

2011-11-06T18:49:00.000-08:00

Hello, it's been QUITE a while. I've been searching for a perfect foundation match.

My original foundation was a L'Oreal True match, but my little brother destroyed my bottle right after I got it. So since then I've worn different foundations, but none that matched perfectly.

Here are some swatches! I've also swatched tons of BB creams, both samples and full sizes. If you'd like to swap for some of them, get on Makeupalley.com! It's a wonderful, wonderful way to test out new products and read reviews about them.

Anywho. Here's a massive swap comparison!!

Left arm swatches: (flash off)

The light was a mess to try and fix in this image.. My pants are a nice sky blue, and the rug is a deep navy.. those tiles are supposed to be a light whitish color. Anyway. The shades closest to my hand are my tried and true matches. My skin isn't actually that pink, either- you can see more in the flash image below.

Indoor Lighting- Left arm after about 15 minutes

Closer to natural, but not perfect lighting. Oh well.

RIGHT ARM TIME!!

Indoor light- it's a tube light on the right side of the room. Can you tell? :-P

Natural light, right arm shades. I tried getting a flash on this arm, but it was far too much exposure.

The keepers:

In my opinion, the Baviphat one was a bit dark. BUT, it oxidized, and is the first of the BB creams I've tried that actually seems to whiten over time! I might use it if I accidentally tan, or need some sort of darker makeup for something.

There you have it! I'm not going to bother with reviewing the ones that match. I can tell you that I own no heavy coverage foundations, and that the baviphat and Covergirl are medium-heavy coverage, Missha, Everyday Minerals, Fit Me and Pure are medium coverage, and Manic Panic and Shills are light coverage.

Good luck in your search, and thanks for reading!

Hello, to all you dyed redheads. (and future ones too!)

2011-08-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

I. Love. Red. Hair.

It's something that I consider a great aspect to my personality; I feel fantastic after I give myself a new dye job. And I get mad that there are so many more people picking up the trend, because I feel like it's my hair only. BUT I realize that I don't own everyone else's hair, so I'm sharing.
I have wanted bright red hair ever since Paramore came around. Before that, no one really did it. But I hated being blonde.

I've gone through many different dyes, and figured out which ones are the best and which ones suck.

Goodies:
Clairol Herbal Essences #44 Paint the Town (Deep Red)

This was my original red. I loved this dye. It now has been discontinued thanks to the craze with foam haircolor. This box dye normally went for about 6 bucks a pop, and has the greatest smelling, softest-resulting conditioner I have ever experienced. It was a red that worked over dark blonde hair, dark brown hair, black hair... I loved it. Since it went off shelves, I had given up hope. BUT I found it, at Big Lots, as well as the other colors! LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE IT, I'll sell it for 6.50 a box, any color, with 2 buck shipping. It's a HUGE deal. I am serious.
Here are some color examples of this dye in my hair:

Smart Beauty SmartColour Intense Red Highlights

This is a pinky- red. I have one picture result, and I didn't like this as much as the others I'd tried. Plus, the highlighting cap and hair hook process REALLY hurt.

Schwarzkopf Live Brilliance-
What a fantastic color brand!! I have flip-flopped between Real Red, Red Passion, and Hypnotic Red. Beautiful colors. The only downside is the INTENSE ammonia smell. Dye carefully and in a well ventilated area. Costs vary, check eBay. Red Passion is my favorite shade.

(Sally Beauty) N'Rage Hair Color in Crimson Red
This smelled like bubblegum, which I thought was interesting, but the issues with it were that the colors faded, FAST. Additionally, I also tried the cobalt blue, which stayed vibrant in bleached hair for a total of 2 days, despite it being marketed as "demi-permanent".

Jerome Russell Punky Colours in Blood Red
Loved this. Can't honestly say I remember how long it stayed in my hair though, or how well it worked. Sorry guys. I do know that I paired it with a Punky Colours Jet black as the underside and loved how it looked.

L'Oreal Feria in Ruby Red
I used either Ruby or Garnet red; can't really recall :) My issue with Feria is how flat the color seemed to me.... it didn't smell spectacularly good; it also dried my hair out more than any other dye. Did not and will not buy it again.

Splat! Hair Color (multi-color pack; used cherry red and the blue shade)
Yup. Would not buy this ever again. Didn't stay in my hair at all. Rinsed right out.

CURRENTLY USING:
L'Oreal HiColor Highlights for Dark Hair in Red Hot
This is awesome, cheap, and available at Sally Beauty. Mix 2 oz of 20 % developer with all of the color cream, put it in your hair, and be excited! The color is a beautiful result- most of the time, my hair will look brownish, but when the light hits it, it's a stop sign red. Great for if you have to be working a strict job and need a strict red.

Here is my variety of reds; enjoy!!

My first ever attempt- Strawberry blonde of some brand.

N'Rage

Splat!

SmartColor Highlights

Schwarzkopf

don't mind the badly blended makeup :)

Feel free to comment/ ask questions!!

Here's something unrelated and ranty.

2011-05-17T08:30:00.000-07:00

I will try to do this as diplomatically as possible.

First:
-My junior year is over.
-Living on campus costs me 10,000 in loans every year. I do not live at home and commute because of the physical/mental/emotional stress the house puts me through. I have an intense neurosis of unorganized and umanaged possessions.

-My decision to combat this was to live in an apartment somewhere for cheaper rent than on campus (750 per month per person in a 4 person apartments)
-My parents pay for nothing unless I hassle them, and even then the only thing I generally get is books and, this past year, photo supplies.
-I do not have a car. My younger brother gets the car.

-They make more than enough money to survive and enjoy themselves and support a regular family. My mom is a government worker. But the money goes away somehow, and they barely get groceries per week.
-They wanted me to come live at home again, like in high school, but living at home means I get a bed and no space. I used to sleep in my now 10 year old sister's room. She is a slob, but that's to be expected (she is only 10.) This also means I am restricted as far as how much I get to see my boyfriend/fiance.
-They wanted to use my $10,000 loans to fix up our old doublewide and have me live at home in this doublewide instead. It has been uninhabited for 6 years. It has no carpet, running water, it has water damage, the roof is caving in, it smells like cat pee because of all the cats that had been in it, it is standing on cinderblocks, and there is a gigantic 4 foot hole in the particleboard floor. The amount of time and money to fix this thing is not available.
-They also wanted me to commute to school every day with my brother, who is going here for general studies in the fall. This will not work because I work late night work shifts on campus, and this means that my brother would have to wait around for 9 hours after his classes were finished for me to be done working. With how restrictive they are on gas, this makes no sense.
-My boyfriend and I have been together for a year now. He has worked hard to impress my family. He has also worked hard to prove he is responsible, which in reality, he is the most responsible person I know. He bought them a 200 dollar really nice microwave for Christmas. Which, by the way, replaced my PERSONAL one that I let them use (that they blew up) when the old one died. However, despite the copious amounts of time and money my boyfriend has spent on my family, my father still claims he doesn't "know" him. This is of course after working on our gutters, helping with turkey processing when he was dead tired, taking 4 trips up to Amish country for ONE straw hat that never seemed to fit, many days of KFC (my dad's weak point) and shoefly pie, pizza, a goose dinner... the list goes on and on. My boyfriend was nothing but respectful and happy to do all these things for my father, and after this weekend he doesn't even get acknowledged

-My father said to me that when I get married, it's not just about my decision, because it means that he is accepting another son into the family.

-We are a very strong couple, and we are very good at communicating with each other. We can both attest that we are getting married and will be old farts together.

-We have already started making wedding plans. He has asked many times if I will marry him, and I have said yes every time. These are not the official 'pop the question' times- he thought he would on Valentine's day this year, and I have a beautiful emerald ring from it, but he didn't signify what the ring was for and then didn't do the real asking. Mostly because I wanted my father's blessing for it first. So since the ring was just a Valentine's present, we/he are/is thinking about either a ring wrap/guard or another ring entirely for the formal proposal.
-He went over to my parents' house a month ago to get permission. I was about to lose my mind because I was in classes for 5 hours and I still had not heard back. As it turns out, he spent the entire time helping my dad install our 8-year-overdue working dishwasher and talking together, having a generally good time (my boyfriend is very good at reading people as well) and was about to give my father the reason for the visit when my mother walked in and started spazzing about the squeaking sounds that the dishwasher spring was making, and then proceeded to argue about if the directions were followed correctly.
-A week or so later, we went back over again so the IT degree/Nurse boyfriend could remove an internet porn virus from our Macs. (however in the world that got there...ugh) My parents had company over and my mother introduced my boyfriend as my "f-ff--ffff-friend", almost saying "fiance" but catching herself. Then after we repeatedly teased her, she admitted what she was going to say, then proceeded to say "don't go doing that anytime soon" and then my "friend" said, "don't worry, I plan to take all the proper steps, ask permission, etc." Since my mother had said "name your price" as for fixing the computers, my boyfriend asked to "upgrade" and my mom seemed to get it. She did not tell my father apparently.
This past week's events:
-I made up a reason to not come home: I said I had applied for and gotten an on-campus job that provides housing for the summer and allows me to also take summer classes. This also meant I saved money, because the job pays minimum wage as well. It is a real job, I just did not apply for it because I knew I did not want the job (I don't want to work with the school's football players. They really aren't good people.)
-In this amount of time, my mother kept pressuring me about what the job details were. It was very annoying because even if I had gotten the job, I would not have known more than I had told her.
-I told my parents I would not be coming home and that my things would be moved that Friday. Then, I would be going down to Morgantown for a graduation party weekend. I had arranged for my mom's Mother's day present to get to her Sunday.
-Boyfriend was uncomfortable with my lying to them. I called my great aunt, who suprisingly to me, is supportive of our living together, and she gave me advice.
- I went down for the weekend, came back, told my dad the truth.
- Had wanted mom to be there too to tell her, but she decided to stay at work and I couldn't take it any longer.

Responses: [i am lowercase and in color]

(Dad alone)
-I shouldn't tell you this probably, but your mother had nowhere to go, nowhere at all when she graduated, and we lived together before we got married.
-I am not just getting a son-in-law. This is a difficult time for me because I'm picking up another son.
-I would rather you just get married. Why don't you just get married tomorrow? Hell, it's just a piece of paper.
[no dad, I have planned for a wedding my entire life. I want it to be big and beautiful. I'm not going to get the paper and then party later. when you put off the ceremony, you never get to it. ]

-I don't really know him. He's only been here a few times. He makes light of Christianity. I want to be able to know that my grandchildren will have knowledge of the faith and will be brought up in it
[oh, they'll have knowledge all right. they'll know about it. (I have some issues with the Bible and "Christianity"]
-But why don't you just get married.
-He hasn't even asked me yet. I made it a point to ask my father-in-law for his permission.

[oh, I guess mom didn't tell you... firstly, when he came over and helped with the dishwasher he was about to ask, then mom came in and started freaking out about the springs. then, when he came over to fix the computers, he told mom that he would like it if she didn't get worked up about him wanting to 'upgrade from ffffriend' in the very near future. she understood.]

- You should really be married first. Just get married now and have the party later. I'm sure that your grandparents would respect you if you did that. They got married in front of two other couples in their living room and then had their party at their 25th anniversary.
[i don't have the money yet for the ceremony. we need this time to prepare for it.]

(Mom) 1 week later

-We have plenty of money to support you. When you need something we give it to you. We are not starving. We pay for your medical and car insurance.

-If this is about independence, this is the wrong way to go about doing it. If you want to be independent, go get your own place. If it's about just "playing marriage" which is what you're doing, it's wrong.

-You should not live together unless you are married.

[the commitment is there; we plan to get married. (this annoyed me; I did not want to be the one that told my parents this. they never believe me. they aren't supportive. i wanted my boyfriend to ask and then surprise me with a proposal and a ring, like EVERYONE ELSE)]

-If the commitment is already there, just get married.

[marriage/weddings are just a social tradition. it's a piece of paper that says you're together.]

-Why do you think the gays want to get married so much? It's because of the money and retirement.

[no, it's because they want social recognition of their rights.]

-No it's not. And my marriage *sob* was a pact in front of God and to God that your father and I would be married under him.

[in that case what was to stop you from standing out in the woods and proclaiming your marriage to God and then leaving it at that.]

-You still have to sign the papers.

[yeah, so society recognizes you. and then you have the ceremony.(nowhere in the Bible does it require you to have a preacher and a piece of paper turned in to the government.. there are many discrepancies about biblical marriage)]

-No, it was between us and God! Society didn't matter!

[(at this point I gave up arguing) alright, so can my mail keep coming here, or do you want me to transfer it.. i know you want to see me, and mail gives me another reason to come home]

-We will continue to give you a leg up by paying the interest on your loans, but have your mail sent elsewhere.
My dad's closing blow: "You know, John McDonald once told me that when his daughter made the same decision, his heart was broken. I know now how he feels."

[you know, I only told you these things because I love you. I wouldn't have told you if I didn't.]

And with that, I left in tears.

This whole thing hurts not because I did anything wrong, (yes, I did lie, but I came clean soon after) but because of how they treated me like I knew nothing. I have thought all of this through. I see nothing going wrong with this moving situation. This leaves me (and my boyfriend) $10,000 less in the hole (because my parents can't pay for my college at all, so I have loans. also, my mother makes too much money for me to be considered for many scholarships and grants. This is not temporary. We plan on living here until I am finished school, then moving to the city he works in for 5 years after I graduate. This is a part of my life that I am excited for and happy about.
Every summer when I'd come home from school I would be miserable. I refused to sleep inside. I crashed in a tent. I did everything I could to not go home, and that's why I did it again. My family is a den of packrats in denial. They do not know how to keep things clean or take care of money. They should. Leaving home for the first day of school is the happiest day of my year. Holidays disgust me because I have to leave my clean, organized things and go back. If I don't, my mother goes back into a depression spiral and that's not good for anyone. Do I have a problem? I don't know.

My biggest fear is that I will be horrible with money. And as of right now, that is the case- I have very little in savings and checking accounts because I've had to provide myself with things that I want/need. I'm getting better, but very slowly. It's also difficult for me to land a job because I lack a vehicle, and as such I can't get a job in my field- say, an internship 20 minutes away. And why my parents are paying for car insurance for me, then blaming it all on Obamacare, it is beyond me.

Also, living together is not new to us. He stayed with me in my room many nights a week during his last semester at school because my old roommate commuted home to live with her fiance, and she was a very chill roomie. I miss her :)

AMA.

So here's a random one!!!

2010-11-12T22:19:00.000-08:00

OH MY GOD, LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL AGUILERA IS IN HER NEW MOVIE.

Seriously, she's absolutely beautiful! The honey blonde hair, the neutral lips, the natural makeup... she looks absolutely devine. Why in the world did it take her so long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Review: Maybelline Superstay 16-hour Lipcolor.

2010-05-19T19:06:00.000-07:00

I was searching for reviews, ANYTHING on this color lippy that I'd been eyeing on ebay,

Taffeta Twinkle!!

Firstly, let me mention how much this stuff rocks. My Mom squared had it in another color, and I wanted to test it, especially after I swatched hers on my hand and it wouldn't come off.. even with soap.

Alrighty, so I put it on, first application, at 4 PM. It's now 10. And still on (YAYAYAY!)

[This is a pic of before lips.]

And here's some schnazzy application pics.

It's actually a really sparkly color, that with my skin looks cute, and depending on lighting ranges from this rosy deal to wine-colored.

The directions say you should apply color first, then let it dry for 2 minutes. It is very sticky at that point, and is like a bad lipstain.

But then, once your time's up and you apply the conditioning balm, it all works out wonderfully.

And a darker lighting sitch...

Yep!

So I'm happy with my new purchase.

Go Maybelline!!

I got a little rant inside me!!

2010-05-12T20:18:00.000-07:00

People keep ragging on Ke$ha. (or however the hell you spell her name.)
I don't have a problem with her.
Except that she never wears pants........
but whatever.
I think she has talent.
I also think it's great that she DOESN'T NEED autotune, as seen in live cuts.. and doesn't seem to lipsync..
I mean, she's not overly talented...... but America, if the girl wants to party until she dies, chill out. It's the life cycle of a pop star. Just like Mayflies.. they live for 24 hours, then BOOM! dead. The end.

On another note......

Ugh.
Lady Gaga.

I want to like you.
I want to be open to your music.
But I can only tolerate so much.
And I know you're making an artistic statement about your clothes...
But you need to pick a career and stay with it.

Oh, and btw, you should have kept your talent alive like you did for No Floods. That song is beautiful. That is what I want to hear.
But nooooooooooooo. You're too busy with techno pop beats and weird lyrics that make no sense.

that is all.

Just a quick update..

2010-02-21T21:15:00.000-08:00

I've created a Wishpot account.

If you're an obsessed internet shopper, who looks at far too many websites to remember all the passwords... fear no more. Too many wishlists? Wishpot is the place for you. You create the wishlists you want, install the Wishpot button, and every time you're browsing and you see an item, hit the button and it's on your list. Then, you can email it to relatives and friends, or you can befriend people, and they know exactly what you want for christmas!! It saves time and energy. GO GET A WISHPOT ACCOUNT!!

Oh yeah, and friend me.. I wanna see what awesome stuff you're into!!

-RayJBady (Rachel Johnson)

Ahh, forgot something else.

If you have tons of CDs, DVDs, and books you don't want, sign up for a Swaptree account!! List what you have and what you want, and Swaptree displays what trades are available!! It's a great system.

So is Quibids. I can't explain it, but you get electronics and pricey stuff for over half off. Go check out their site too.

Kay, done now. ^_^

Sigh.

Next up, Cary Elwes.

Bill Hader

2009-10-31T20:35:00.000-07:00

He's another one of my lovable friends from SNL. I often confuse him with Rainn Wilson, and during movies if I see him, I yell out, "DWIGHT!" He's not the sexiest character ever, but I love him anyway. ^_^

Next, Brandon Routh.

Ben Barnes

2009-10-31T20:28:00.000-07:00

He's Prince Caspian in the Narnia movies.

Aww, doesn't he look so cute with all those stuffies? Next up, Bill Hader.

2009-10-31T19:50:00.000-07:00

I don't have many pics of him.. there are only a couple of my faves, but they're good enough.

I think he's hotter in music videos. ^_^

Alex Pettyfer

2009-10-31T19:46:00.000-07:00

A British model/ actor. No idea how I ran into him either. But he's cute..

He's like a blonder, thinner, less manly version of dearly departed Heath. Whose gallery is most likely to be the largest, since I've been a fan since A Knight's Tale.

Albert Reed

2009-10-31T19:19:00.000-07:00

This heavenly supermodel.. I have no idea how I found out about him. It doesn't matter. ^_^

Yay! Next up, Andrew WK, who makes crazy party music.

Aaron Eckhart

2009-10-31T19:04:00.000-07:00

I don't even remember the first thing I saw him in. But he grinned and I was happy and gooey inside. And of course, everyone knows he's in The Dark Knight as Harvey Dent, and in No Reservations. And some movie, Thank You for Not Smoking (... i think....) where he plays a high-up lobbyist.
Anywho, here you go.

Sigh.. He's just so pretty. Next up: Abercrombie and Fitch model Albert Reed.

YOU WANNA BUY A WHAT NOW????????

2009-10-28T17:47:00.000-07:00

With this chaotic title, this blog could be about so many things!!

But it's about handbags. Designer handbags.

I don't understand.

Who in their right mind would want this hanging off their arm?

Why would you want a bag that cost over 100 dollars? Seriously? I can get jewelry, but.......

Anywho. I was looking at designer handbags because someone I know is going to New York soon on a trip, and she asked me to find some pictures of designer handbags I liked so she could buy me a cheap imitation one for Christmas (inward cringing!! the mention of designer handbags invokes internal vomit in my soul).

And, so far, I'm not all that impressed. I suppose one day I'll have to woman up and buy a purse.. but BLECH.

So far, I'm only interested in the simple bags... the leather ones with minimal designs and shapes. I like metallics and pyramid studs (emo/goth/rocker chic, duh). I might just keep my fave purse that I have now, my Dickies star purse, forever. It's beauteous. And durable. And convenent. and 20, 000 percent cheaper. Kay not really. But 20 bucks, compared to 2,000? SIGN ME UP.

But, since you're dying to know, because my imagined fan base wants to know all about me (snicker.), ...

IF I won the lottery and had lots and lots of money to spend for no good reason, and I had to choose a designer handbag, it'd be this one. Edgy. And who doesn't love a random razor blade zipper pull? (ROFL).

Pauric Sweeney Patent Leather Handbag.

These get some honorable mention too.

On one side of this, YSL designed it to look like a letter addressed to Yves Saint Laurent in Paris! Design plus. Very unique.

And this Alexander McQueen has knuckle holes on it. So if some mugger wants to take your crap, just punch him in the jaw. ^_^

And that's the way the cookie crumbles!!

OMG, I love that movie.

The END.

A first!

Heyhey! Call me Rachel, RayJ, Bady, or Captain Obvious. I really don't care! HAHA.

Anywho, I hope that this blog becomes fun for you to read, and it'll give you something to talk about! I'm just a college cat who doesn't know what she wants in life, and would prefer to just pack up all my stuff and my cat Chester and flee to New Zealand. And go live with the Ents.

Some notes: Give your opinion.. Speech is free! However, don't just say it without backing it up. Bashing my ideas or music is all well and good, but ONLY if you have reason behind it.

Random facts!

-I went to a middle school with a total of 9 kids (including myself and my brother). All the other kids were boys. So I am a socially awkward female.

-Grew up on a farm! Woohoo. With peacocks, rare sheep breeds, a couple cows and some guineas. And chickens. But guineas are the coolest. They're the panzer tank of the bird world.

-I... happen to love Troy Polamalu. I have deep dark desires for that Flyin' Hawaiian.

-... Then again, I happen to love alot of people. Who will be posted in a... PICTURE GALLERY!!!

-I have an art profile on DeviantArt. It's mostly photography, but as I get better with my drawing styles, those are going to be posted too.

-I'm hoping to major in Mass Communications and minor in Spanish. I want to be a pro video editor.

-I'm also hoping to be able to post up some of my fashion thoughts, etc.. I just have pictures saved currently in a fat folder on my desktop.

-I love metalcore. It's my favorite. But, I'll listen to other things as well.. I am fine with venturing into hiphop, country, classic rock.. Just don't play death metal. In my mindbox, a band needs to have just the right TOLERABLE vocal sound for me to be able to listen to the other parts of the song. Don't know why that is.

-I love my cats. I have 5. Alas, I can't keep them in my dorm, but I go home periodically to visit my fat Chester. He's not really fat at all. In fact, he's really lean. But he was quite rotund as a kitten, and so it stuck.

-I'm dating a drummer, and have dated him for 3- some years now. I hope our future works out. It was a rough start.

-I'm a poser. I think. I like to mix punk/emo/goth/skater styles, but I never go as full out as I want to because of a lack of funds.

-Chicken nuggets and egg rolls are my vice. Ahh, and KitKats.

-I love me some Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew. And coffee, and Chai, and Earl Grey, and tea in general..

-Actually, I just love food.

-Speaking of food, I am known for making the most rich cookies you'll ever eat. They have been deemed orgasmic by their eaters.

-I love the water. If there is a stream, I have an urge to follow it until I find its spring. I love swimming, but my exercise-induced athsma slows me down. Alot. It prevents me from being awesome at soccer too.

-I've only worked one job before ( this past summer) and it ended badly. Will post info.

-I have pierced my ears a grand total of 9 times; I am going to get three more so that I have six per ear. Six is my fave number.

-I.LOVE.SUSHI. noooooooooooooooooooooooo, not raw fish!!!!!! that's sashimi!! get it right, people!

-Manga's cool. I read alot of them. But something about me won't let me read it if I can't tolerate the artwork. I have read alot of Bleach, InuYasha, and a few shoujo mangas. Reccomendations, once again, coming soon.

-The first time I fired my 12 gauge shotgun, I got a deer. How's that!

-My first dog WILL be an Italian Greyhound. THEY ARE SO CUTE.

-Awright, I think that's enough random crap for now.
