My Aldo Melkonian Studded Ankle Boots are my favorite boots at the moment. I danced for over 4 hours and my feet didn’t hurt AT ALL but they’re only 2.5 inches high though so of course, they’d be comfy even with Aldo’s ridiculously uncomfortable arches. The studs are a plus, they’re super casual and you can pair them with an endless range of looks… and I went through so much trouble to get them when I first saw them online because I was so impatient and all the stores were out of my size! It was SO worth it.

Asian Gaga!

Unfortunately I had no time to take pictures of my Lady Gaga Halloween costume last night! I know!! :@ But I took this quick shot right before my friend came to pick me up. I realized that I should NEVER cram down white bread before going out or my face gets super-bloated like Park Bom’s botched cheek implant surgery (sorry girls, she’s an awesome vocalist but I think she looked way better before). I only did it because I had to quickly eat something or I’d get sick later that night! Anyway, I experimented with a lot of different make-up techniques and products (bright silver, pigments, whites, etc) but I ended up going for a smokey and dramatic silver look and I drew the lightning bolt with NYX gold pigment powder (didn’t want something stuck on my face all night); my hair covered it anyway so I didn’t spend too much time on it. I did watch Rice Bunny’s Lady Gaga tutorial but I never follow tutorials because everyone eyes and face are different and her look definitely did not work on me. I’ll try put the look together again later on and take proper pictures.

This was our only picture of the night. We hardly take pics on Halloween ... for some reason.

P.S. 24C reader who came up to me last night: sorry if I came off as rude. I was caught off-guard and I think you knew that I wasn’t sober. BUT that was very sweet of you. :blush: But anyway, contact me so I know who you were!

1. Love my new Talula blazer… it was sooo worth it even though the picture doesn’t do it justice.
2. My favorite necklace. T’was from the BFF. ♥
3. I heart tassels. If only I found that perfect dress for a flapper costume for Halloween tomorrow.
4. Pearls + gold = beautiful combination.
5. Scared myself by losing another one at the club so I had to stock up on my favorite lipgloss.

I suffer from short-Chinese-eyelash syndrome so I indulge in false lashes. I have a big shoe box filled with Ardell lashes that I buy in bulk (and a couple of MAC lashes mixed in there) and last week, I was sent a box of Revlon Fantasy Lengths to try out.

The pairs I received were all natural looking and not as dramatic as I’d like but when I put them on, they definitely look very pretty, has a flexible band so you can align it to the contour of your eye easily and are extremely comfortable to wear. Good for day-looks except…

Quality of the lashes felt a little flimsy when I first tried them on. My intuition was proven that night when I took them off… it seems like the max you can wear them are once or twice, whereas I’ve worn a single pair of Ardell lashes more than 10 times and they still look great.

A couple of the pairs had “self adhesive technology“, meaning no glue is required, as there is already a strip of “adhesive” on the lashes (comes with an extra strip too for a second application). Honestly, I love my eyelash glue and have no problems putting on lashes so I was too skeptical to try them for fear that they’ll fall off SO my sister got to be the guinea pig and she LOVED them. There’s also a plastic application tool that comes with it and I’m guessing it’s to press down on the lashes so they would line up with your eye and stick but I didn’t use it… my sister liked it though.

One thing I wanted to rant about is the PACKAGING. Revlon needs to rethink their packaging!! What I love about Ardell and Mac lashes is that you can easily open/close the box without ruining them (even when you’re drunk) and one night, I spent 15 minutes in a frustrated, drunken slumber trying to put the lashes back in the box without ruining them. [No matter how drunk I am after a night of partying, I force myself to take off my make up, shower AND wash/dry my hair or else I can't go to bed... don't ask how I do it, I just do. Sometimes, I even manage to cook ramen or something and haven't burnt myself ...yet. ]

Would I recommend these? Yes, if you’re an on-the-go kinda gal and have no time to glue on lashes (I’d keep a tube of lash glue in your purse just in case though) and/or looking for natural and comfortable false eyelashes to wear. My sister loves them but I’d stick with my Ardell lashes so I gave the rest to her (only ’cause I’m nice like that).

But anyway, if you girls want some super fancy eyelashes, check out these LED Eyelashes.
