bye blogspot!

well after 6 years, i finally decided to do something with my domain and at least but a blog on it. i'd used it all this time just for the email address all while using blogs at other places so i'm putting it to good use. it will also be a mixed personal, fotd, & picture blog so with that said...i'll be putting links to my 4 little followers on my domain blog. haha

thanks to everyone who's taken the time to view my page & i hope you'll continue to follow me on there through here (blogspot)!

my hondagirl.net blog

i don't or can't make the time to blog anymore so if you care to find me, the places i'm at are listed on my profile page or here if you're too lazy to look:

vibrant grape revisited

inspired by some recent fotds using vibrant grape lately, i decided to bust it out today. i bought it so long ago and even though it's a beautiful color, i hardly ever use it. it's being repromoted with the style warriors collection coming out at mac this month and i'm sure i'll have even more inspiration when i see more people start using it.

blue saturday (r.i.p. beatrice arthur)

i should have known that asking by my bf for color advice, he'd tell me to use blue. i hardly ever do blues because i think they look kind of garish on me, but it never stops me from buying more. why does that always happen? anyway, here's today's fotd:

big changes!

anyone that doesn't know me personally has no idea how picky i am with food and how super rare it is of me to try new things. well, i've decided to slowly start phasing meat out of my diet and for people that do know me, know that i usually eat something with chicken. almost always really.

i tried my first tofu sample yesterday at costco. it was pretty much flavorless but it was so much like chicken that i can safely say it won't be a problem adding this to my diet. it's a miracle! i bought some fake chicken nuggets last night and i'm proud to say that they're delicious. this just keeps getting better and better. i'm really excited about adding new additions to my already limited diet!

mac pro visit day!

ah the best kind of day there is!

it's kind of embarrassing and i can't believe i'm actually saying this but after months of not realizing i should have logged into the mac pro site and not just casually looked, i would've seen that burnt burgundy pigment is still around. i feel like such an ass.

i was about to order a small haul from the website last night and decided, fuck it, i'll just drive to the pro store and get it myself today. so that's what i did. i think they're in the process of remodeling the store and it was a bit of a madhouse when i walked in but this is what i got:

burnt burgundy & nocturnal plum pigments, studio finish skin corrector in light peach, indian ink e/s, & cantaloupe blush.

traffic sucked as it always does in san francisco but i was thrilled i got all my stuff finally! also i'm going to sing the praises of a new concealer i tried today with a review @ mua after this! sorry for babbling, i'm excited! here's my fotd complete with bad pic:

prep + prime and blah blah blah

so i bought a whole slew of new stuff for my face earlier this week and i think i've finally realized nothing will save the wrinkles and dark circles other than surgery, which i have no intention in taking part in so i'll just have to deal with it. thanks to my dad, i've been blessed with super dark hereditary circles around my whole eye area, not just underneath and with that i have very deep set wrinkles underneath my eyes. here goes nothing:

totally uninspired friday

not really going anywhere special today, except for the mall and even though it's friday i couldn't come up with anything special today. i tried to get something from inspiration photos but still wasn't feeling it so these are just colors i randomly picked. looks kind of weird to me still though. i wasn't able to get too many pics either, my battery died after these.
