Borderlands 2 Upgrades + Level cap increase! + SHiFT Codes

Yesterday A new upgrade pack came out for Borderlands 2. This pack finally includes a +11 level cap! Also it give you upgrades on ammo caps and other things you can buy from earl (I have been waiting for this for forever!) This upgrade pack is available in the downloadable content section of your menu screen. It is free if you have a season pass, or 4.99$ (for xbox). This comes right before the release of the fourth DLC which features a new player class!  The charater named Kreig is so amazingly kickass that I cannot wait. 

Changes in 4/2 Software Update (Free)

  • One additional ammo upgrade for each ammo type, at 50 Eridium each.

• No more tutorial missions -- characters in Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode begin in Southern Shelf with the "Cleaning Up the Berg" mission.

IQ and word of the DAY

Did you know that in most intelligence tests there is a vocabulary section? This section relates most with general IQ as well. So from now on I will post a word of the day. I am constantly looking up words I see that I don't know the meaning of, and asking people who use the word what is the meaning. This has now spilled out onto my blog.

So today;s word of the day: Pundit

Quick Review of Biore Ultra deep cleansing nose strips

Ok so I got these today at my local target. they were on sale for 5 dollars. I have been trying everything I can think of to clear the last few blackheads off my nose. It feels like i have tried everything but over the course of the day they just come back. I have actually wore the skin down on my nose over the last 3 days. And tonight when I used this strip it actually took skin, not a lot but still. These things are like the hardcore version of the normal nose strips. My eyes were watering to the point where I was wondering if i was crying. they got a lot more then the normal nose strips did though. But these things are not kidding when they say ultra. I also felt like it dried faster then the normal ones do. 

Rating: 3 out of 5

Only because they ripped my skin. 

Hell week is over!!!

I am so happy to announce that my hell week of the semester is over!!! YAY! I have found that every semester you have have one week where you have way to many things to do and not enough time to do them in. When i lived on campus that was midterms/finals. Now that I am taking my classes online from home, it was last week. I had a 10 page paper and a final for my sci fi lit class, midterms in both my 8 week classes and a results section rough draft due for my research methods class. It was none stop all week studying and writing. In my whole college career I have never experienced anything like that. I was brain dead for the rest of the weekend after I crammed a whole bunch in Friday night before things were due.

Anyway, So I took today off from studying and played a little borderlands 2. I got my mechromancer up to level 45! Then I did a little shopping. I got the new Rimmel eye liner, a few face products, my 3 month Xbox live card with an extra month, and I found a The Knot magazine specifically made for my state, which I thought was freaking awesome. I was really proud of myself for going into target and not spending more then I did LOL.

Makeup tutorials on Youtube have made me a makeup hoarder

So I am not a girly girl by any means. I have only just recently even cared about makeup because my head has been shoved into textbooks for the last 6 years. Now that I am going to graduate from college and be going to job interviews and work, I am starting to care more about it so I can be professional. So, I started watching Youtube videos to learn about the basics of make up. I watch at least one everyday (I don't have time for a whole TV show so i just watch a 5-10 min youtube video) for a little bit of a break from studying. So I started wanting the products they used in their tutorials. I started out with three bottles of foundations that were not the right color and were 4 years old, now I have 6 or 7 that pretty much fit me. I started out with a brush set my mom got me for x-mas 4 years ago now I have 10+ brushes I got from all over the internet and more on their way. I started out with lip smackers lip balms now I have upwards of 15 different lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms. Now I am NOT saying this all is a bad thing. I had to test out quite a few products before I found some that worked for me. I didn't learn about the beauty guarantee (at Walgreens, rite aid etc. you can return items if they don't fit your skin tone or you don't like them) at drugstores until after I got most of this stuff. But I find myself wanting to buy more, but I rarely wear makeup. I will say this, figuring out what works best for you its the most difficult part. What shade skin do you have what undertones, do you have dry skin? oily skin? do you have sensitive skin? does that fragrance give you a headache? does that eye shadow make you look like mimi from the drew carry show? I say start small. and build as you go. I think every mom should make a make up starter kit for her teenage daughter even if she is a tom boy and teach her how to put it on even if she isn't interested in it. I think the key here is to keep my collection down to the things I absolutely love. the problem is I spent so much money on them that I have a hard time getting rid of them, or what if i actually might get a tan one year and I need a darker shade? I also have been having a hard time with the smells that my foundations have been giving off, my revlon colorstay has gave me a headache and now my covergirl 3 in 1 has given me one too. I shall update when the great makeup perge of 2013 is done.

 

Being a college senior SUX!

I am so glad I have 5 more weeks!

Wedding Binder Tabs

I am so excited because I found these Martha Stewart tabs at my local staples for 1$ a piece! I have wanted them for my wedding binder since I got engaged in August but they were like 4$ a piece. So I snatched up every kind they were selling. I will be posting a wedding Binder update soon! 

Eye Shadow Organization

I recently went on a mini-vacation and we were going to go out to dinner with my soon to be parent's in law. So when I was packing, I was trying to figure our what eye shadow sets to take with me. I wished I could take them all so I could make a cool look depending on my mood but sadly I couldn't  So I started researching cheap ways to organize you eye shadows. Granted I am a poor college student so I have mostly drugstore eye shadows that come in those bulky plastic cases. So I searched for ways and I didn't think id be able to make anything professional looking enough. So that's when I went onto amazon and found the Z-pallets. Now for those of you who don't know what these nifty little inventions are, they are magnetic cases with a clear plastic cover and the metal pans your eye shadows come in magnetize right in there. I didn't find any in a price range that I actually was willing to pay until i came across the Makeup Geek amazon page. Only 20 dollars! Plus I love Marlena, I have been watching her Youtube video's for years. So I ordered that and started the process of de-potting all my eye shadows. The Rimmel London ones I had to use a lighter underneath them to get them out but the rest I just used a needle and pried the metal pan out. Now there's gonna be sticky glue underneath the pans so just use a little piece of paper to cover it up or melt it off. The pallet came with round magnets but I had some oddly shaped pans so I went to Jo Ann fabrics and got little round adhesive magnets for like $1.39 for a 12 pack. 

So now instead of picking and choosing what plastic case with three colors I want to take with me, I have all my colors in one area. Also, I tend to hoard makeup so now I can see what colors I have and what ones I still need. 

Also, One thing I really like about Makeup Geek as a company, they almost always send me a little pan of one of there eye shadow's and a sweet hand written note in my box. She is such a wonderful person and her eye shadows and brushes are to die for.
