VSCOCam comes to Android

If you don't know by now, vscocam has become one of my favorite photography/filter app for my iphone 5. It's really simple and the quality is exactly what I expected it to be. I love using their tools and it's fun messing around with hues and such. So vscocam was just released on android and I was actually pretty excited about it. I don't own an android myself but my mom does so I've been testing it out. Androids don't really have good quality apps on google play so this is an exciting news for all android who have really good camera qualities. I hope you enjoyed my review. Well it's not really a review but yes, I do love the android version. It's crisp and easy to use like the iOS version. Thanks vscocam. 

Here is my mom's android phone and she owns a Samsung Galaxy S4

Here are screenshots of vscocam on the S4

It's pretty much the same layout as the iOS version. 

Here are some sample pictures I took from the S4 using the effects 

NYX Cosmetics Haul

I started using NYX cosmetics recently and I'm currently loving them. My favorite products I have to say are the matte lipsticks, butter lipgloss, liquid eyeliner pen, and their eye shadows. First I'd like to talk about their matte lipsticks. I love them so much because they're so easy to use, like it glides on your lips perfectly. The ones I've been using are highly pigmented. They're great. The color I got was Merlot, which is a wine color and it's perfect for the fall and I got another color in Sierra, which is a pink-ish/coral color. They cost $6 each. Here are some swatches:

I usually don't wear lip glosses but I love MAC's lipglass and now I love NYX's buttergloss because like MAC's, it's not sticky and it doesn't feel weird on your lips and I hated that. The color I got was Creme brûlée and it's great because it does taste like it. Very sweet for $5

In the swatch, it does appear to look very pink but when you do put it on your lips, it looks very natural.

The next products are my all time favorite single eye shadows. 

Top left: Silk $5

Top right: Golden Amber $5

Bottom left: nude matte eyeshadow in Skinny Dip $5

Bottom right: skin tone eye shadow base $7

I did use the NYX fine tip eyeliner pen for this photo. 

Overall, I love NYX products because they're affordable and they're don't feel or look cheap. The prices range from $4-$15. 

Still searching for myself (PART 1)

It hasn't been easy these months, these years. Growing up and reality does take a toll on you. As I'm writing this, it's 1:22 am I can barely sleep because of the coffee I drank earlier to study for my philosophy exam tomorrow but that's exactly what I'm not doing, which is studying. I only studied the first part of the exam which is about Plato's theory in epistemology and metaphysics. I kind of feel stupid for not studying hard enough for this. I even drank coffee for it. I should be studying instead of writing in my blog right now but I don't know. I'm not going to lie though, I'm not a big fan of philosophy and I'm definitely not a big fan of the professor. I also should be sleeping because I have class at 10 am tomorrow. Ugh will tomorrow be hell. Hopefully not. I haven't updated my blog, I guess that's why I'm writing and blabbing about random stuff. It's weird because I should be worried about my exam tomorrow but suddenly I'm worried about my whole life ahead of me. I hate staying up at this time. The only good thing about tonight is the fact that I found little inspirations and encouragement today. Me, my mom, dad and sister had a small bible study since we didn't get to go to church and at first I was upset, only because my mom did something to put me in a bad mood but it's all fine now. But I don't know, I think it's God working in my life with small things. Prayer is good. It's great that my mom decided to lead this bible study gathering because I probably wouldn't say anything first. So a whole recap of this week, I was probably sick as a dog. Cooked uneven eggs and the next morning, I vomitted everywhere.(not really but I threw up a lot). It's the worst feeling ever. I also got a fever from the food poisoning. Horrendous experience. But the weekend was good, celebrated my best friend's 19th birthday. By the way, if you ever read this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA. You've been an awesome friend to me for 13 years now and I know we'll be best friends until were gray and saggy. I'm actually getting pretty tired from writing all of this. This might be the cure for insomnia. Goodnight 

August 30, 2013 / VSCO GRID SELECTED

So my photo was selected. I know it may not be a big deal but to me it is, only because I don't get my works submitted around. So congrats to me. Thank you again VSCOcam

September 5, 2013

I haven't been blogging these past few days because school started last week and I got caught up with trying to sync myself. But this week I actually don't have school for the whole week so I have one week of summer left to sync myself and wake up for classes. I'm trying to aim for the dean's list and on top of that, trying to transfer for next year. Hopefully I can. I don't even want to talk about school honestly because of how disoriented I feel about it. I just want to enjoy this last week and of course, read my assignments ugh.... 

August 10-11, 2013 / seems forever

In August 10th, we went to Splish Splash and I didn't take any photos on my phone but I did with my dandy waterproof disposable camera. I can't until I develop them. Hopefully it all came out fine

August 11th: the big day aka Jenelle's 18th birthday cotillion 

August 8, 2013 / Museum Thursday + Soaked

I promise I was going to post the camping trip photos but it's so much that I think I'm going to post it another, rainy, day. (Irony) But right now, I'm here in the Upper West Side waiting for my boyfriend to get out of work. His job is in E. 79th but I decided to wait here anyway because we were planning to be around this area anyway. It's soaking wet and humidity is high, so I decided to post up all our adventures today. We got soak before we went to the MET museum and now I'm wet again. Oh boy. I hope it stops raining soon. *worried face*

PS. I have no umbrella. 

August 3, 2013 / Camping weekend
