Wait, there's an Ulta in my town? What?

So yeah. This week I realized there's an Ulta like, 30 minutes away from where I live. It's not literally in MY town, but it's pretty close. WHY I never noticed it before, I have no idea. All this time I thought I was out of the loop, only being able to go to Sephora when I travel to Charlotte, NC or Atlanta, GA. Wow. Anyway, of course I had to grab some stuff.

I got 2 China Glaze nail polishes (because they were buy 1 get 1 half off) in Turned Up Turquoise and High Roller and 4 NYX jumbo eye pencils in Cottage Cheese, Electric Blue, Strawberry Milk, and Yogurt. I love these things. I really like using them as a base for eyeshadow. I use a regular base, then put these on and smudge them out. They really make colors "pop."
I love the nail polish, too. I'd been needing some new colors. I painted my nails with "Turned Up Turquoise" and wow that color is ridiculous! It's funny because that's how I decided on the color. I had that one, and a more toned down teal and I said "I'm getting this one, it's more ridiculous."

Anyway, now that I know I have an Ulta, my bank account is going to be crying a lot...

Anime Weekend Atlanta 2010 (Pictures!)

So my boyfriend and I attended AWA this year. Neither one of us had ever been before and wow it was huge. I'm not really a huge anime convention go-er (only been to a couple small ones) so it was a tad overwhelming but so fun!

Friday I went as Kagome from Inuyasha (green schoolgirl uniform) and on Saturday and Sunday I was Sheeta from the Hayao Miyazaki movie Castle in the Sky. I bought the Kagome costume, but I made/put together the Sheeta one myself. I bought the pants and the shoes, dyed the shirt, and made the belt and headband. My boyfriend, Caleb, went as Lupin from Lupin III. Hooray for old anime! His costume got a lot of attention, so many pictures were taken! Older people really appreciated my Sheeta one.
(I totally went out in public like this)Yeah, so, maybe you didn't know this but I've always loved Sailor Moon..

That adorable thing is a bag. I bought it to carry my camera around easily :)

Anyway, it was fun. I hope these pictures didn't slow your computer down too much..it was worth it though, right? Right. We'll probably go back next year, we had so much fun. It's healthy to let your inner nerd out every once in a while. :)

Oh, and just in case you aren't a nerd:
