Blooming chipper!
I think some of it’s fantastic, but it takes patience to sift through all of the not-so-great stuff to get to the gems. Once you find ’em, though, it feels like you’ve found buried treasure!
If you’re in the service, YAY! If you’re buying bananas at Safeway, then only in measured doses — maybe a pair of shorts, tennies or a t-shirt.
I’d like to get better at applying bright teal and green eyeshadows. They’re not colors I’d wear outside of the house that often, but you never know…
Nothing yet except MAC Naked Honey Salve on my lips. I’m thinking of doing something with one of the Spring Colour Forecast quads.
A few small ones. One is a burn on my left wrist from a cooking accident 10 years ago. It’s shaped like a dolphin. 🙂
On most days, sweet, but when Aunt Flo visits, savory.
I can pinch with my toes, HARD.
Tow up from the flo’ up in brown shorts, a green t-shirt and black zip-up hoodie (I’m still in jammies).
Just to keep a good attitude about freelancing, try to watch what I eat, exercise daily, get to bed before midnight, and generally try to take better care of myself than I did last week.
Good morning, ladies (well, early afternoon for some of you). 🙂 How did you sleep? I slept fine until Tabs decided it was time to play. It was just before dawn, and I think he sensed I wanted to sleep in, so he leapt on my chest (ouch!) as if to say, “Nope. Not gonna happen.”
Mmm… I’ve been on a green tea kick lately. Do you like it? Sometimes I prefer coffee, but it kinda messes with my nerves after a while.
So what are you up to today (Happy Presidents Day)? Let me know how you’re doing. Just copy this list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

2. How do you feel about drugstore makeup? Some are as good as the high end stuff, when you can find them! Avon comes to mind–though not a drugstore brand, there are many products that are a great value. Their eyeshadow quads are fantastic, and their Anew line of skincare is really, really good.

2. How do you feel about drugstore makeup? I like L’oreal but others-not so sure. I don’t buy a whole lot of makeup so I’d rather save up for something more expensive- it is the thing I put on my face.

Soooooooooo tired. I woke up at quarter to 4 (AM) with a migraine and then my mom woke me up at 11:30 when I don’t have class until 1. My brain feels fuzzy.
2. How do you feel about drugstore makeup?
Great for trying out trends or you’re just starting out and there are a lot of good ones, but sometimes I feel there’s a lot of crap. I do use a lot of drugstore make-up. I, personally, don’t think 14, 15, and 16 year olds should have MAC or Chanel make-up; they’re a little young. I’m 21 and I’m just starting to venture out into non-drugstore make-up like Urban Decay, Smashbox, Stila, etc.
3. Camo print: yay or nay?
NAY. Remember, I had to live around camo print for eleven years. I’ve seen enough camo to last a lifetime. Again, I think camo should be restricted to the military as they use it for it’s REAL purpose, not civilians. Civilians do not wear camo with the right amount of pride.
4. What’s one makeup challenge you’d like to master?
Eyeliner, particularly cat eyes.

Snatch & Smog on eyes with black eyeliner, Posietint for Cheeks, Revlon’s new lip line in Carnation (the lipstick)

Yep. I have about eight or nine and then there are stretch marks on my legs. Two alone are on my face. My biggest one is on my left hip.
8. Do you have any hidden talents?
I can recite whole movies in terms of dialogue and what’s happening. If I don’t know a dialogue while watching a movie without sound, I’ll make up the entire dialogue in my head based on what’s happening. The endodontist thought my mom was joking when she said I watch whole movies sans sound and I prefer watching them backwards.
9. Outfit:

Pigment’s shop (white romance is the name of the shirt), watch, green beaded bracelet that was my aunt’s mother-in-law’s, my great grandma’s amethyst ring, green and turqouise mother-of-pearl earrings and ChG’s Something Sweet nail varnish on toes and tips!

3. Camo print: yay or nay? Uh….nay. Camo print should stay in the army.
4. What’s one makeup challenge you’d like to master? I can’t seem to find a way to make my skin look 100% flawless.

1. Mood:
Chipper~ DAY OFF.
2. How do you feel about drugstore makeup?
On the fence. My personal experiences have been less than perfect with Covergirl, NYC, etc and generally speaking, the prices aren’t as cheap as they really should be for “low cost” products (Covergirl mascara runs as high as $8.99-12.99 here while for about the same price, I can easily grab something from MAC.) I do however really like some Japanese drugstore brands like “canmake” (really high quality, inexpensive brand!) as well as some of the “higher” end drugstore brands, ie “Hard Candy,” “Sonia Kashuk.”
3. Camo print: yay or nay?
Yay in small doses!
4. What’s one makeup challenge you’d like to master?
Smokey eyes/eye liner. I suck so bad at this. I’m GREAT when it comes to neutrals, pink tones, tanned/bronzed looks, etc but not so good with eye liner/smokey looks.

2. How do you feel about drugstore makeup? Same as you – there are some gems out there but they take patience to find.

4. What’s one makeup challenge you’d like to master? Top liner. My lids are so uneven…
5. Eyes/lips/cheeks: Well, currently I still have Lush Angels on Bare Skin on my face which I’m about to wash off once I finish this survey lol. Thinking about using my new Shu Uemura P Wine 25 blush I got in SF or the NARS Torrid blush I got in swap when I got home…

Two on my face, but my mom had the forthought to have a plastic surgeon to the sew-ups–one looks like a dimple when I smile (I tripped over a tree root at 2, and punctured my cheek on the corner of my Fisher-Price Peoples playhouse—my mom and grandmother complained to the company, and I had FREE Fisher-Price toys for the next few years…..guess they were afraid of a lawsuit) and the other is right along my lip line (caused by a flying seatbelt that was swung at my face when playing in the backseat of a neighbors car….I was 5). The others are on my right wrist (shattered a glass lamp shade when dancing around in my parent’s den when I was 9), my right inner thigh (puctured when I fell climing a tree when I was 7. A left knee scar when I fell down a flight of stairs into a glass console table at my front door (1999) and a punture scar on my right shin, were I ran into the corner of my coffee table (2004).
