FOTD: Golden Girl + Forever 21 Prizes + Ring Obsession

Hi guys :D I totally fail at my whole vow not to blog while studying for the MCAT. Yeah ... Well, I feel some progress finally! Kinematics is actually one of the harder things for me to grasp in Physics, plainly because I don't know which equations to use when. It always confused me how giving you the final velocity can have you determine flight time, displacement, and a whole lot of other shabang.

Meanwhile, I occasionally get pretty. My Forever21 Twitter Tuesday prizes came in within a week of me winning - I guess there are some benefits for living close to LA. It came in a nice big FedEx package woot! I didn't even have to pay shipping :D

1) The dress was one of the Forever21 Boutique collection Prom dresses so I'm really excited. It's pretty casual. Size small, $34.80, not bad. The only problem is that the cool beaded straps are, well, beaded, so I can't really shorten the straps properly. I had to tie the back into a weird knot and then safety pin it so that half my front isn't exposed.
2) Pyramid stud connector ring! It is HUGE and I could probably knock someone's teeth out with it. Say yes to self defense via jewelry xD Probably $6 or so.
3) A tiny thing of lip gloss in hot pink, goes on pretty sheer haha. This was bonus.

Excuse my poor crappy photos. Taken with Photobooth:

The beaded work is so pretty but also very heavy. I didn't take pics of the bottom of the dress. I promise when I get a better camera I'll have great OOTD's again :D

EOTD: ELF Mineral Primer first of course to make everything more vibrant. I put the nice shimmery brown all over my lid from the Wet n Wild Vanity palette, then the gold on the inner half of my lid. It blended super naturally. It looked super natural and flirty with a few coats of mascara. I dug up a super old waterproof mascara (Maybelline XXL Length I think): primer first, then the black mascara. It was very natural looking and held curl nicely for being YEARS old xD I think I also swiped some light butternut shimmery E/S from an ELF duo plate above these colours but it blended right into my skin tone and didn't show.

Lol this is pretty obnoxious xD The crazy amount of rings I've bought in the past 4 months maybe? love for connectors and animals! I also really dig this self-done (Dad did my right hand - he's a baller!) French mani. With Love & Beauty white pen nail art polish, ELF Polish in Nude. It lasted a few days before I got sick of having such long nails. Comes with years of being in Orchestra.

I could really pack a punch with these babies :D

What do you think? Should I invest in a DSLR or just go with a regular point and shoot? The DSLR I'm looking at is around $900 and the point and shoot is $370. Either way, I'm pretty much dying without a camera.
