STUDENT OF THE MONTH

on September 16, the four of us went to Devean's school for his first assessment... it was the coolest thing to see your kid answer all the questions the teacher throws at him... he knows all of his letters, shapes & he can count to past a hundred which is more than what they require a student in kindergarten to know by the end of the school year.. he also can now read a few short words... not to brag or anything but we've been knowing that our kid is exceptionally smart... that's why at the conclusion of the assessment, the teacher had told us that he is the brightest in the whole class... hearing that made my heart melt like dark chocolate on sweaty hands.... LOL... I was just too proud of my son.... we gotta take him to Chuck E. Cheese or sumthin coz he deserves it....

then I got this in the mail today.....
he is the first Student of the Month from his class... I'm a proud momma!!

POMPADOUR

so I attended a dinner-dance party last night & I just thought I'd have fun with my do & makeup.... I thought I'd rock the pompadour just for shits n' giggles... this is the inspiration for the hair, although it didn't turn out that high & that messy, I thought it wasn't bad for a first time...

here is a picture from the party with friends &/or cousins....

& here are a couple from when I got home... I was tryin to get the height of the poof but I guess I didn't capture that... also I will list the products I used for my makeup... I totally forgot the falsies!!! can you tell?? I was such in a hurry coz the momma-in-law was waiting for my ass to get done...

how I wish I had one of 'em bib necklaces like these:

OR atleast them big earrings like this one:

they would definitely look cute with this look & outfit...

the shoes that I wore that night... too bad I didn't have a picture of the whole outfit

MAS RED CHERRIES POR FAVOR

the discount mall right next to my son's school is starting to be my favorite kill time spot... LOL.. I strolled thru the mini stores today & I didn't really find anything interesting to get... so I just got some more Red Cherry lashes...
I also got another Brush-on Eyelash Adhesive since I really really liked the black one I got from before (see this post for details on that)... I.M.O. this is better than any eyelash glue I've ever used, better than Ardell, better than the NYX one, even better than the DUO-which by the way STUNK!!... this one has a little bit of a strong smell but it goes away really fast as it dries up really quickly as well... you didn't have to wait 30 seconds before you can put your falsies on... the only downside to this adhesive is that it sticks really good, which means it's kind of hard to remove as well... but with a good eye makeup remover, there's really no problem with that...

I was trying to talk to the owner of the store about doing some sort of collaboration with me in selling some Red Cherry false eyelashes online... but there was a little bit of a language barrier, the conversation reminded me of me & my manfriend... LOL... so yeah, that was my first attempt with him... I'll try again next time... let me know if any of you are interested...
