Where Have I Been?

Howdy!

Wow, I've been out of commission for a week! What happened? Let me tell you how funny life is: the moment I was so determined to do a big revamp on the blog content and post more was also the time my hand decided to give up.

About 2 years ago, I had a strain on my right pointy finger that put me out for a week. I took a butt load of anti-inflammatory medicine and muscle relaxer and basically, I was out cold until I recovered. Since then, every time I get stressed out and every time it rained, I have this achy feeling on my right hand. The last time was around last November when I wrote my thesis. It was not a cool time for me and I was in a hand brace almost all the time.

Then, last week it felt like my wrist would twist out of my arm. I was so hurt and slept with the brace since then. I can do a bit of typing here and there but full fledge blogging is a bit too much for me right now. Today, I feel a bit better so I blog a little bit. I really miss you guys and I really miss blogging.

Also, if you haven't joined My Makeup Blog's 2nd Anniversary Giveaway yet, there's still time. Please click here to join. Also, Formula D is participating in the Christmas in July blowout sale on Etsy. Please support my shop, y'all!

I'll be back once I feel better. There are so many things I want to write about.

Belly at Large: Hand Cream of Dead!

Hello home people!

Yeah, that's what you're going to get when you call me "home kitty". Again, only the mamarazzi gets the honor to call me that. Why, you may ask. Because she feeds me, roar!

Anyways, I'm going to cool down a little bit. It's too early to pick a fight on human. Besides, it gets in the way of my global domination plan. The last time I did it, I was in trouble. Remember this post? It was definitely not a good day for moi.

Thou shall not claw humans. Thou shall customize their books with thy teeth instead!

But it was not 100% my fault that I assaulted the mamarazzi. The hand cream of dead made me do it!

Moonlight Seduction FOTD

Hi everyone,

Purple is the new neutral, that's what they said. Recently, I browsed the web and saw this look that Michelle Phan did called "Moonlight Seduction". After watching the video for about 4 times, I realized I have the stuff to do this look and set forth to do it.

My Moonlight Seduction look

 I made a few modifications since my 88 palette is not similar to the one Michelle used in her tutorial. Overall, it was a relatively easy look and Michelle's instructions were clear enough for me to follow.

Another picture of the look. This one shows the eye makeup better

We're Gonna Party...

...like it's your birthday!

If you still don't know what I'm talking about, please listen to this song :) I always want to play this song on my birthday and I finally get to do it *big smile* I still think this is the best song Fiddy ever recorded.

The Beyonce version. I like it better than the original version with only 50cent

On the second thought, I don't think I'm going to party though. Probably just chill with my homies and eat some ice-cream :)

This is officially the biggest serving of ice-cream ever! We had it in a Mexican restaurant in Augusta, GA. It's a fried ice-cream, the best of its kind. Three of us could barely finish it!

Hairtag Giveaway Winner

Hi everybody,

Remember the Hairtag giveaway, anybody? Well, guess how many people participated? Exactly two!

Come on, guys! That was a Twitter giveaway and it was super easy: you tweeted and left a comment on the entry. Why didn't you guys join?

Since there are only two participants, I decided to use the age old method of picking the winner: flip the coin. Trisha and Elle were the participants and base on the order of the entry, Trisha got the head while Elle got the tail.

One toss and when the coin hit the ground, this is what we got:

Tail! Congratulations, Elle!

Elle, please email me your mailing address and I'll forward it to the kind folks at Hairtag. Trisha, I'm so sad you didn't win this giveaway. If I were Oprah, you could have won, too.

Again, congratulations to the winner and thank you Hairtag for sponsoring this giveaway.

Bling Out with NYC Starry Silver Glitter Nail Polish

Hi everybody,

I hope you are having a long holiday so far. Since July 4th fell on Sunday, we the people in the U.S of A also have Monday off. That's awesome, isn't it? Lately, I had an urge to bling out my nails. NYC makes it easy and affordable for me to do so with Starry Silver glitter nail polish.

Let's see:

• The price: 99 cents
• The level of awesomeness: endless!

I did a quick bling out French tip last week and here's how it looks:

Clare's FOTD: "The Time Traveler's Wife" Look

Hi everybody,

Remember my almost FOTD look I did last week? Well, I nailed Rachel McAdams's look on the cover of "The Time Traveler's Wife"! Yay me!

Don't believe me? Look:

Clare's FOTD

Say what, homies? You don't think I nailed this look?

Similar makeup look, right? The reason I don't look like her is because I don't have her face :)

This is a very beautiful and easy look to create. I think it's a proper look for a bride on her big day. Wanna know how to do it? Jump!
