Graaaaagghhhhh!!!
To those that find this entry: I'm bored, and I thought it would be fun to spaz about the things I can finally buy because I'm getting a job. So ignore it, or read it if you're bored, or just if you are as fashionista as I am. XD
I was thinking about the money I'd have when I come back from boot camp yesterday... and it's not going to be half as much as I thought!! T_T I'd get about three thousand, I think, but about 1000 of that goes to taxes. And then another 1000 goes to my laptop, and maybe even more. Which leaves me with a measly 1000, some of which my parents may use to come to see my graduation and some of which I have to use to get myself back down to NC for school. >_< So, we'll assume I'll have $750. My goal is to have 500 for my savings account, but that's not gonna happen. XD. Assuming my parents take me to King of Prussia to go shopping for whatever I'll need, I'm totally attacking Sanrio... their prices aren't bad at all. I figure I'll buy myself a new bag, since that tote one, although cute, is more of a summer bag... plus the straps don't go over my shoulders, and I can't stand that!! >_< I might also buy some new stickers for my laptop, since although I've got dozens of HK stickers, I want shiny ones!!! I might also locate some cell phone rhinestones, and stick them all over my laptop. =D
Anyway!! So I'll buy a new bag. I'd also like to buy another cosmetic case (I saw a cute frilly pink one the last time I was at Sanrio, but I doubt it'll be there next time too) and a coin purse with lots of compartments. I'll need some new clothes, since I know I'm going to lose a few inches well... everywhere, and most of my clothing I have now maybe won't fit!! So I'll buy a new pair of jeans, most definately, and perhaps a dress, some casual t-shirts, a dressy shirt, perhaps a skirt, some shorts (short shorts and longer length ones, if I can find them in February XD), some underthings, and perhaps just a few shirts I find along the way. I looove going to Deb, since their clothes are so cute and so cheap, so I might very well end up spending most of my money there. Oh yeah, and I need a belt! I'll probably also buy some sneakers, if I feel the need to, one pair of flip flops, and a pair of strappy sandals. I'd really like to buy some Uggs or, at the least, some furry boots, but I don't know if I'll have the money!! >_< Oh yeah, and I want to buy some pajama tops and bottoms. I can't really walk around in longer t-shirts when I have roommates!! That would be so embarassing... >_<
So maybe, that's all the clothes I'll need. And that might end up being about $200 or more!! >_< Of course, I might end up going low on the summer clothes, since maybe I won't need them until--well, summer. XD. I might not even need a dress or sandals, either, though since I haven't been able to wear a dress correctly for a long time because of my unproportionate body, I might buy one anyway in excitement. XD.
Next, makeup! I'm probably going to go to Sephora, which gets pricy... but it's also SO worth it. XD. I'm just going to ask a salesperson for help in this case, or I'll be there all day!! I'll give myself a set price (100? That sounds reasonable), depending of course on how much I spent on clothes (and I can keep in mind that there is a mall near the place I'll be attending school, so I won't need clothes THAT badly. I don't even know if I'll have room in my closet! Or if I'll be allowed to wear civilian clothing!!
So, I'll give the salesperson my price limit, and I'll ask for a recommendation on a whole set of cosmetics--coverup, foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, blush, and lip gloss (since I'm not fond of lipstick). I might not even need any foundation, since it gets so expensive at Sephora anyway. >_< And then I'll go about my merry way buying cosmetics, and I might also buy a perfume and some facial washes while I'm there. And some Philosophy products!! And maybe some of the Sephora brand body washes, too, because they smell so good. *_* And of course, whatever else my eyes find. =D If I end up with the money in the end, I WOULD like to buy a Lancome Juicy Tubes from Nordstrom or wherever I can find it... they've actually got newer ones than just the regular 'Juicy Tubes'!! They have a new fishnets one, and they have ones from around the world... they look so delicious. *_* I want one!!! But they're like $20...
One thing I will buy, without recommendation, is Diorshow Blackout mascara. I saw the Diorshow mascara... well, somewhere, and then I saw it again, and again... I finally saw it in person last month and not only is the bottle so pretty, but I just read a review on it and it is the super blackest mascara a person can find. =D It's like, $24, but I think it would be worth it. Unfortunately, there is my mascara-holic problem... I'll have to buy a new bottle every month. XD
Among other things I might buy...
Nail polishes!! Once I learn the policy of nail polish in my uniform, I'll buy... well, I'll buy whatever darned color I want, but I'll at least know the policy. XDDD. M.A.C. has some really nice colors, but they're kind of bland. Sally's has nice colors!! I really like the nail colors at Sally's; in fact, I might head there with like $30 and spend it all on nail colors and rhinestones. And of course, some hair products to make my poor hair shine like new again. *_*
Lotions and food-scented perfumes!! Bath&Body Works is my own private haven, and who knows what they'll come out with in three or four months?? I'll probably end up buying quite a few things there, if I find something good enough. I know that in the KoP mall there is a BIG B&BW, and they have all kinds of products there--including this delicious chocolate scented body scrub, that I fell in love with the moment I smelled it. XD. Even if I don't buy the scrub, there are other things there--lotion, body wash, etc--and I might buy one. There are other scents I like, too!! So maybe I'll end up going crazy. XD.
Paper-makeup!! The last time I was at Wal-mart, I saw that Mary-Kate and Ashley have come out with paper-applied blush, etc, and so I thought it would be a nice addition for my purse. You know, in case I'm out without makeup and see a cute boy--take out a couple of different packages of paper foundation, plush, and add a little lipgloss, and poof! I look presentable. =D And of course, I need those cute little 'rip-slip-brush-ah' toothbrush-without-the-toothbrush things. XD. And I'll keep a separate makeup bag to put all my little paper makeups in. Oh yeah, and I think it would also be great to buy these little double sided tape thingies eventually, too, that I saw at Sally's, in case of an askew bra strap or something. =D But I won't need them for winter!!
Ipod and digital camera. Yes, without living in this house, I will, sadly, lack a camera! So, perhaps not with my money from boot camp but with my first paycheck, I'll buy a digital camera. Since I have an mp3 player, I won't need an ipod just yet... but I want one!! And one of those cute little kitties too, that you can plug an ipod into and make it dance. I'd also like to eventually buy a cell phone too, but I don't even know where I'm going yet. I'd like to go to Japan but if I don't, maybe I'll be on the sea for six months. Does Verizon work in Hawaii, Korea, Guam, and Australia? Maybe not. =D So I'll wait for a cell phone until I'm settled down. =D
So, I think those are all the extras I'd like to buy... other than perhaps, stocking my purse with lip glosses. I was just reading a review on Mary-Kate and Ashley lip gloss, and it got a LOT of good reviews. Granted, most of the women were older and said 'if I were a teenager, I'd like it more'... well, I'm a teenager! And I like glitter! And I LOVE scent! So perhaps, instead of spending $30 trillion dollars on a gloss at Sephora, I'll buy myself some yummy glosses from MK+A. =D And I also want some lipsmackers. Yum!!! I think their Vanilla Frosting is deliciouuuuusssss~~~
Aaah! I just found something that I want. It's called Klean's German Chocolate Cake scrub. YUM!! I am absolutely OBSESSED with food scented products, and this one seems to take the cake (XD). Apparantly, it is a very thick chocolatey scent--bonus points for the faint coconut smell it leaves after the product is washed off. Not only that, but apparantly it makes your skin feel like a baby's. Even more bonus? A medium sized jar is only $21. I want it!!! The link to it is here: www.kleanbathandbody.com/German-Chocolate-Cake-Body-Polish-pr-3.html.
Waaa... I want to go shopping. :(
I REALLY want to go shopping.
On another note, I really started packing up my room yesterday. =D I got two boxes of stuff!! Sadly (or not, thanks to shipping costs?), I think I might barely fill up four-five boxes with my stuff. Ah well. I'm not taking my furniture, so maybe five boxes isn't as bad as it seems. Unfortunately, I do have to leave a lot behind--where I was a tech junkie, with a big tv, cable box, giant cd player, VCR, DVD player, and PS2, I now have nothing. :( Eventually, I'll buy myself a new PS2. I might get lucky and have roommates who have TV and a DVD/VCR player. If I buy an ipod, perhaps I won't need a cd player--I can stick all my music onto my 350 GB laptop, and stick it on the ipod. As for the PS2... I can't live without it. T_T
So, yeah. I've got lots of stuff, but not near enough as I'd like to have. I had my eye on a Louis Vuitton travel bag, but it looks like it's out of reach now! There's still the Hello Kitty one...
When I get myself more stable financially (FYI, once my wardrobe is complete, I have a new set of makeup products, and I own a PS2, ipod, and digicam), I'm going to start importing things. ^_^ Yesstyle seems to have FANTASTIC clothing choices, and I believe they ship to FPO addresses as well. ^_^ Unfortunately, the measurements and clothes themselves are more for Asians... so I don't think I can buy from that site until I verify that I am small enough. I probably will be at least small enough for a medium or a large, so maybe it won't be that hard. =D I'd also, if I'm not stationed right in Japan, might end up importing some things for myself--cds, posters, etc--and cosmetics, as well. I love Japanese cosmetics!! I found a few websites that import makeup--but why should I bother if I'm in Japan?? I have to wait until I actually see the room I'll be staying in, but I'd also like to go out and buy some accessories for it--bed clothes, lamps, etc. =D I downloaded a room deco book yesterday called Cutie Room Book, and I might use that for inspiration--although as far as wall art goes, posters posters posters!! ^_^
Anyway~~ I think I've been on here much too long! My stomach is growling today, and I've got a lot to do on my laptop (my writing is, sadly, falling behind), so I think I'm going to take care of all that. Bye~!!!
