BEAUTY TAGS & AWARDS

i was tagged by Rai :)

What's your favorite make up look?
i love a neutral smokey eye with nude lips. i looove nude lips

Do you have a beauty vice?
haha everything. i suck at resisting retail temtation, but Chanel is definitely my kryptonite. like i know i shouldnt spend $65 on a foundation, but my heart needs it. i swear it does!

What part of your body do you love?
i love my eye lashes. i always get compliments on them and people swear they're falsies. i've had a MUA pull on them once just to prove they're real. & i love my lips. every MUA i've ever met says they're perfectly symmetrical

Who is your beauty icon?
Kim Kardashian shes like the smokey eye & nude lips queen! Jessica Alba too, she always looks so effortless, i hate it! lol

What beauty product makes you feel instantly sexy?
i agree with Rai, lipgloss is the shizz. i love to pout my lips. especially when they're super glossy

How do you look after your skin?
i rarely go out into the sun. i cleanse daily, and moisturize to the maxxxx

What is your signature scent?
haha i dont have one. i really dislike wearing perfume. its just not for me, i prefer the smell of my deodorant. its quite lovely. LMFAO im so serious too. i dont sweat or smell, so i dont need much. my natural scent is very appealing :D

What are your haircare secrets?
i wish i did. lol my hair is either down, im a pony tail or in a bun. i never do my hair cause its crazy straight and lifeless.

How do you pamper yourself?
i shop excessively & i get my nails done all the time. i love getting my nails done, but im sure those vietnamese people are killing my brain cells with all those fumes. its soo bad that i dont even smell the fumes anymore lol

What is your beauty pet peeve?
lol i really dont know. when it comes to make up i do not have a say in what you do to your own face, to each her own.

What would your desert island must haves be?
i would bring a life time of Chanel products. most of them have SPF 15 so i think i would be ok. OMG and a lifetime supply of soft lips. i hate having chapped lips, so disgusting.

Finally, do you have a beauty philosophy?
do you. not every look is right for you, wear what your comfortable with & buy what you like.



& Linda gave me some blog awards. thank you!

OMG OMG OMG ROUND 2

http://www.abcgrrrl.com/2009/06/giveaway-winners.html

i seriously dont know what is going on right now, but im on a lucky streak. i totally want to fly out to vegas and gamble my heart out. im not a gambler but i'll try anything once! like i said before, i never ever win anything, and all of a sudden i won 2 giveaways in a row! wow, im like totally shocked!!

thank you so much E for holding your giveaway and giving me the opportunity to win :)

winning these giveaways are totally helping me curve the temptation to go out and buy myself a little something. i mean i havent purchased anything for my giveaway yet, but i do plan to. & i knooow i said i would buy anthing beauty related, but its for the giveaway! not for myself, so i think im allowed to do that. lol this shopping ban has been really hard on me, i fall to retail temptation easily and this is seriously the longest period of time where i havent purchased anything for myself. KUDOS TO ME! holler :) hahahaha

& with all my good luck lately i definitely need to pay it forward. i havent really figured it all out. i thought about adding one more prize to my giveaway, but 4 prizes seems like a bit much. then i thought about making the prizes bigger&better.. im not sure what i want to do yet. maybe i will do another giveaway once this one ends. i dont know, we'll just have to wait and see :)

but a big THANK YOU to all the ladies that have entered my giveaway so far. i love every single introduction post! i have gained a boat load of new followers, but i havent gotten very many entries, i hope that everyone who is following does an entry i would really love that.

im thinking about cutting the deadline. i know my time frame was a bit stretched out, but i figured it would give more people time to enter. i honestly started this giveaway as a way to thank my readers and i really dont want people to follow my blog for the pure fact of tryna get some free shit out of me. lol. thank you to everyone who submitted your answers to my other post. they really helped! so get your entries done ASAP! im going to cut the deadline, but i wont say when. it'll be a surprise.. its fucked up i know. hahah but you'll have atleast until fathers day (june 21) i will stop taking entries some time next week. have fun posting this weekend ladies!

OMG OMG OMG OMG!

http://jensmakeupbag.blogspot.com/2009/06/bright-friday-green-envy-giveaway.html

GO WATCH THE VIDEO! I WATCHED IT 3 TIMES, IM SOOOOOO EXCITED! THANK YOU SO MUCH JEN! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU
i like seriously never win anything. i came second place in my elementary school spelling bee when i was in the 3rd grade and being 2nd place has haunted me ever since. im like flabbergasted i won! lol i told my boyfriend and he was like.. yay? i just totally cant believe it. yay for me :D this is definitely helping me since im on my little purchasing ban, ahhhhhh i still have like 46 days until it ends :(

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut good news! i've reached over 50 followers! woooooohoooooooo :D

so i have decided to add another prize to my current giveaway. so thats 3 prizes total. remember ladies the contest ends July 3!! i know thats like a lifetime away from right now, but get posting! i've gotten 4 blog entries so far and they were all so wonderful to read. i honestly didnt expect people to open up as much as they did. i love getting to know people and to really connect with them beyond a shared love of makeup. i totally love all you ladies who have entered (and who plan on entering!)

all 3 prizes will be equivalent in size, item numers and content. they wont be the same exact thing, but i will make then as similar as possible. i know i said i would post the prizes this weekend, but since i added 2 more prizes it'll have to wait until next weekend so i can get everything together. umm, there wont be anything uber delicious in the prizes like MAC or any other department store goodies cause im on a budget. haha please dont think im cheap!! i live in alaska so there arent a bunch of department stores around, i only have nordstroms (sad i know) but i will definitely make up for it with all the other goodies! i promise :)

all prizes will be shipped via USPS priority mail (flat rate boxes are the shiz!!). all winners must submit their mailing addresses to me with 5 days of the winners announcements. please submit your mailing addresss via e-mail. if i dont receive it with in 5 days i will forfeit your win and draw another name, sorry.

ohh and i plan on drawing winners by hand. im going to write everyones name and draw from a hat.. well not really a hat, is more like a container, but i thought that would be the fair way to play. i know a lot of people use random.org, but that would require me to count and shit, so i'll pass. hahha im adding names to the container as entries come in, and i will have someone other than myself draw the names when it comes time to choose a winner. YAY

if this giveaway is successful then i will try and hold one regularly.

INTRODUCTION GIVEAWAY

extremely picture heavy!

so this is my version of an entry for my giveaway. i swear this is like the easiest giveaway ever, i mean.. you're just writing about yourself! who cant do that!? so i definitely think everyone should enter, if you dont.. i might have to slap you. haha im so not joking either. well on with my introduction!!


my real name is Ketmany. pronounced ket-mon-nee, and yes this is my actual name. its on my id and everything, haha. when i met my boyfriend and i told him what my name was he thought i was lying. he seriously thought i made it up, i should've slapped him, lol :) my close friends and family usually call me Nee. the only people who call me by my first name are people i meet at school or work.

outside of make-up and beauty related things i really dont do much with my life. its sad i know. i shop & thats about it. its ALL BAD! haha i like clothes and shoes and purses. i love designer names, im a brat like that. but i do LOVE to cook. i love to have bbqs, dinner parties, birthday parties, any reason for me to cook for in large quantites im all for it. im really passionate about my cooking and im damned good in the kitchen! but since i've moved back in with my parents i really dont cook as much, i've gotten so lazy. lol



i was born in thailand (im laotian btw) my family immigrated to America from Laos in the late 1980's. my biological father passed away when i was a baby, but my step dad is the best dad a girl could ever ask for :) i have 2 brothers and a younger sister. i work full-time as an invenotry manager for a small wireless company and im a student pursuing a bachelors in biological science. im not a party girl, well i know how to party with the best of 'em, but i really prefer to stay home and watch tv or kick it with my friends. i grew up between california and alaska, so im a strange combination of a valley girl & a small town girl. im a yes maam, thank you sir kinda person. i live a good life and i definitely dont take it for granted. i swear i have the best friends and family ever, and i know everyone says that. but i've been to hell and back and these are the people who have stood beside me through out it all. loooooooooooooooooooooove them :)

here are 5 random facts about me:

1. i live in alaska. yes, i really do. honestly no one would lie about living in alaska, haha. i actually happen to love it here. i've lived here since 1997 and i moved to california for 2 years for college and i always miss it whenever im away. its really a love hate relationship, the cold really gets on my nerves in the winter time. im working on a post about my love for alaska right now, lol
2. i cant swim. i sink like a rock whenever i get into deep water. i took a swimming class in high school and i failed miserably. haha its really sad, yes i know. but i honestly dont think i need to know how to swim, i've given up on it. im living my life perfectly fine without that skill.
3. in october i was pre-diagonosed with cervical cancer and i was scared shitless. my life seriously flashed before my eyes and things were really fucked up for me for a few months, but in the end everything worked out. as of march theres so cancer cells in sight! but i do have to get an exam every 6 months to make sure it doesnt ever come back.
   
4. im super hairy. haha thats not something i should share with people over my blog, but its not that big of a deal to me anymore. i have a super lot of arm hair, leg hair.. whatever. i used to be so self-concious about it when i was younger, but now i could care less. i've embraced it and i love it. my hair keeps me warm, LMFAO.
5. i really dont believe i have a sense of style. haha im really all over the place. i loooove to dress super preppy. in high school i lived in abercrombie and fitch. now im really just trying to find my style, so my clothes are very random.

i have 3 dogs. 2 live with me and 1 lives with my ex-boyfriend. im a huge animal lover. i call animal control any time i see a stray dog and i have been known to get out of my car and try to save animals.. it never really works out, but atleast i try. here are pictures of my babies, cause i like to whore my children out. please enjoy :D

my two babies, Mocha & Leche.

my baby Komi :) i miss him so much!

heres some important information for you to know. i am really sweet and very loveable :) but im a fucking bitch 9 times outta 10. haha i am what i am, its really a love it or leave it situation. i can be your best friend or your worst nightmare, its really all up to you. i swear like a sailor, if you havent noticed from my post. i definitely dont talk like a lady. i have a seriously cruel sense of humor. i talk a lot of shit cause i grew up around a buncha guys, so im very guy-like. hmm i really dont know what else to say, if you think of anything just ask! i shall now flood you with billions of pictures from my life. enjoy the picture whorage!

im completely obsessed with Chanel. its like crack, and im addicted.

meet my big brothers. they're all a buncha drunks, theyre super rowdy and annoying & i loooooooooooove them to death! i lived with them 24/7 for 2 years and i miss them soooo much
(obviously they arent my biological brothers lol)

these ones are my biological siblings though. i know, we all look nothing alike.

my bff in sacramento, she seriously is my soul mate :)

my bffs since high school. dont know what i would do without them

the love of my life :)

ya know the drill: follow, enter, & good luck!

MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!

hola lovers :)

i hope you are all as exciting for this as i am. like i said in my previous post i really want to show my gratitude to those of you who read my blog and leave me such wonderful comments every day. i know for a damn fact im really not that entertaining, but all of yall just humor me anyways. THANK YOU! i will post pictures of the prize at the end of the week. As of right now it will be 1 prize, if i get a large number of entries then i will add a second or third prize, but i wont get ahead of myself.

this giveaway will be named the " introduction giveaway"

here are the rules:

1. you MUST be a follower with a valid blog. i know i have some followers who dont have valid blogs but i really want to give back to my fellow bloggers.

2. on your blog you must post an introduction of yourself. heres what you will need to have in your post for it to be a valid entry:

• your name or whatever you want me to call you. i dont like calling people by their blog titles, i'd prefer something more personable.
• a picture. it doesnt necesarrily need to be a picture of you, it would be nice to put a face to a blog, but just a picture of what represents who you really are
• tell me something about it and not some generic shit like.. my name is blah blah, i like makeup, k thanks. haha this giveaway is a chance for me and your readers to get to know you more. so give me something worth reading :)
• this has to be a completely original post. if you already have an introduction on your blog, please post another one specifically for this giveaway with different information on it.

3. you must post & link my giveaway on your blog.

4. please notify me once your post is up. you can comment me, put it in my cbox, myspace me, e-mail me, whatever. as long as you let me know. i will verify every post and confirm with every entry that i received your entry. if you do not receive a confirmation from me then i probably didnt see your entry! so make sure you get a confirmation!!

5. this is valid for everyone! international readers too, i want anyone and everyone to enter.

this giveaway will end July 3, 2009. so that gives you a little less than 1 month. the time your entry is submitted doesnt matter. I will check my blog on the morning of july 4, 2009 and if your entry isnt submit then sucks for you!

as an extra thank you to my current followers with valid blogs (as of right now before i post this) you are automatically entered in my giveaway for 1 entry. if you choose to participate and do an introduction giveaway post on your blog i will count that as your second entry. so you will have 2x the chances of winning. **this only applies to those who are already following my blog. sorry!

FREE IS SO DELICIOUS

SAVING MONEY TIP #1: LOOK FOR DEALS

if you have to use a coupon or buy at another store to get a better deal, believe me its worth it! even if you are going to save 50 cents, thats more money left in your pocket and less money spent. im a firm believer in getting a good deal. i wait for sales to buy things, or i buy on ebay. i cut and slash my spending as much as i can. & just like anyone else i love free shit! who doesnt!? so apart of my 2 month challenge, i've promised to not buy anything, so i need to explore my other options: giveaways and contests!

thank goodness for blogger giveaways and contests. there are so many generous bloggers out there and i seriously enter every single one i can. cause if i cant buy anything, then imma try to win beauty products. i figured its a good way to save money and help me resist the temptation of buying. and everything has been going go so far, lets see how long i can keep this up.

CURRENT GIVEAWAYS I'VE ENTERED:
- Naritas giving aways 3 prizes & theyre all MAC. how fabulous is that!?
- Mayaari is giving aways 2 great prize packages, so definitely enter this one!
- Chrystina is giving away NARS celebrating her 100 followers. fucken NARS! amazing :)

so yall know the drill: follow, enter & good luck loves.

SAVING MONEY TIP #2: EAT OUT LESS

i love to eat. whether its a full meal, a snack on the go, whatever and im super bad cause i always eat out. but everyone knows that food is pricey, your daily coffee or nights on the town can really add up and seriously hurt your bank account.

so a main part of my 2 month challenge is to eat out less, and if i do eat out then try not to spend too much on each meal. this week so far i've only bought lunch once cause i had lunch with Jon & it was less than $20 for both of us. for the rest of the week i plan not to eat out at all, i have a buncha snacks at work and i can always bring a lunch.

but what about those days where you just crave something? lately i've been wanting sweets, not like candy and chocolate, more like cakes and baked goods. i have a serious love for baked goods. but i dont have any stocked at the house and i dont want to go buy any. so what do i do?

lucky for me, this friday is NATIONAL DONUT DAY :)
im so serious too! haha and most donut places are celebrating the right way by giving away free donuts!

DUNKIN' DONUTS is joining in on the festivities by giving away a free donut with any beverage purchase on friday. i've personally have never had their donuts, but free is always good right? just sucky that you have to purchase a drink in order to get a free donut. i doo love donuts + hot chocolate! ahhh that'll make my morning so glorious.


KRISY KREME is also joining in on the fun by giving away 1 free donut per customer, no purchase necessary. & krispy kreme donuts are so DELICIOUS, but them being free will make that melt in your mouth deep fried deliciousness even better.

but if you cant wait until friday to get a sweet free treat, then you need to stop by SONICs tonight and get a free root beer float :) they're giving away a free 10 ounce root beer float from 8pm until closing at participating SONIC locations, so be sure to first call and make sure they're doing the giveaway.

the sucky part is Alaska doesnt have a Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme or Sonics. hahha its seriously tragic, but im sure i will survive. so if you have any of these placed near you definitely hit them up for some free shit :)

TINKERBELL INSPIRED LOOK

this is my entry to Sarahs Disney Character contest. at first i wanted to do Mulan (cause im asian haha) , but wasnt sure what to do, and so i pulled out my 120 eyeshadow palette and thought Tinkerbell would be a better choice. but i SWEAR i will go Mulan one of these days! lol so heres my go at this...

inspiration:
this definitely isnt a recreation of Tinkerbell. I was inspired by her, not trying to be her, lol . if oooonly i had magical fairy dust or a magic wand to help me out :(

i took these pictures at night, the artificial light makes my skin look like shit & also cause im wearing my revlon color stay foundation instead of my Chanel. i love the revlon, but i actually have to put on concealer & i never do. i hate that extra step, i'll do a proper review of the revlon when th sun comes up a bit more...gooosshhh being lazy is sooo hard :( . so maybe i will try this look again during the day, if i dont get too lazy. im happy with the way my eyes came out though.. thats all that really mattered to me.


with flash:


without flash:
what i used:


face:
Revlon Color Stay foundation in warm golden
Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder in Naturel Translucent 1
Chanel Silky Bronzing Powder in 21 Toundra

eyes:

NYC lipstick in petal

nail color is by OPI. cant remember the name, but its the pink color from their South Beach collection. i'll update when i get out of bed. sooo lazy right now. this look is definitely nothing i would wear day to day, but the longer i had it on the more i liked it (for everyday wear).

so tell me, how brave are you when it comes to wearing BOLD makeup out in publi? frankly, im quite scared, im a plain jane. lol.. ah i must find some balls

CELEBRITY INSPIRED SMOKEY EYE & UP!

seriously though, i've been tryna upload my pictures for like 2 days & both my memory card and my laptop hate me, uhhhh i dont know how to reformat an F drive! lol gay, last night i about gave up and wasnt even going to post my entry to Rais contest, and this morning i woke up to see that she had extended the deadline to 7pm central time tonight, lucky me :) THANKS RAI!

soooo.. this is for Rai's contest. i've been looking everywhere online for a good photo to try and recreate & i decided to do to the lovely Mila Kunis. dude shes so F'en HOT. her role as Jackie on that 70s show really did her no justice, lol.

here are my inspiration photos:
heres my attempt at the look:




hahah dont laugh at me :(

what i used:


face: my routine as usual
Chanel Lift Lumiere in beige
Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder in Naturel Translucent 1

lips:
Soft Lips in vanilla

on another note, went out to celebrate our anniversary last night. 8 months and going strong, lol its a little high school-ish to celebrate monthly anniversaries, i know.. but we use it as an excuse every month to have a sexy date. lol although last night wasnt really a date, because my sister & little cousin wanted to tag along, haha we all had fun though. we had dinner at Orso. my favorite restuarant in Anchorage! beeeessstttt calamari EVER. i shouldve gotten some pictures of the food, but i was starving. haha i was quite the fatty last night i had a top sirloin and we got 2 desserts and they were DELICIOUS. the tiramisu & chocolate molten cake is amazing there.

jon & i didnt get any pictures together, but heres me, mysister & little cousin messing around while jon got the car.

me & my sisterme, my cousin & my sister

ohhhhh & we watched UP last night. seriously one of the cuuuuuuuutest movies i have ever seen. im already anticipating this coming out on DVD so i can buy it, and i nevvvvvver EVER buy DVDs, shows you how much i liked it. so if you havent seen it, go see it. i would pass on seeing it in 3D though. i seriously dont believe in paying that extra money, to wear those silly glasses to see a movie in 3D... i'd rather save that $3.25 surcharge fee.

this cartoon is PG13. it deals with a miscarriage and a death. i hate seeing movies that deal with miscarriages.. they seriously break my heart and bring back a lot of emotions and bad memories that im still trying to deal with. but there was a kid in the theatre who kept asking her mom, "mommy whats happening? what happened? why are they sad?" it was really cute.

2 MONTH CHALLENGE

i was reading Robyns blog today, if you havent seen her blog you definitely need to start following her! i looooove her blog & shes sooo sweet, and shes going on a 2 month shopping ban to save some money. & im totally going to join her. anyone else in?

i am by no means wealthy, but i do love the finer things in life. i work really hard to buy myself the things that i so materialistically love & this love of mine really consumes me and all of my money. lol. seeing how i have to start saving for my vacation anyways its all perfect timing. so from tomorrow forward i will not be buying any:

- cosmetics
- clothing
- accessories
- shoes
- handbags

if i dont need it, and its not a live or die situation i will not buy anything! i'll even cut back on eating out, try saving on gas, and pinching my pennies anyway i can. i should definitely be putting more money towards my bills and my savings than towards the bank accounts of my beloved department stores.

i think i should be ok, considering my massive shopping spree at BEBE & i just got my eyeshadow palettes and a new Chanel foundation.. i should be good for decades (or atleast until my vacation).

so from May 30th to July 30th i promise to not buy any of those items listed!! lets see how much money i can save and how hard this will be. hahaha i feel heavy withdrawl symptoms coming. i'll even document every penny spent and saved on my blog.

** i am not doing this to brag about money & materials, or how much or little i have of it. dont put judgement on me like that. i dont care that you know how much i save or spend, this is just informative for anyone who may find this helpful. if you dont like it, then you can get to steppin, cause i surely dont have any patience or tolerance for drama**

but i definitely feel that in tough economic times like these, whether you are feeling that pinch in your pocket or not, its definitely a good time to reevaluate your savings methods.. or lack of. even if you have billions in the bank, spending a little less and saving a little more wont hurt ya any. so who else is in? maybe 2 months is a little too long for some, but a week or 2, or even a few days, it will definitely make a great difference in your pocket book & for your own piece of mind.

so happy savings everyone, good luck on saving & pray you have will power! ;)

ohhhhh and lets start off everyones weekends with some cuteness. look at my babies, haha i know, i love to whore them out
