I am a very annoying blogger, I have grammatical errors, and just seem like an annoying person. I promise I'm not really as annoying as I seem on the blog. I am eccentric. I am to a degree uninhibited. Many people think I am weird. I am really OK with this. I enjoy making people think I am weird, it adds intrigue. Like for example, making an odd observation, on the fly about something absurd and obscure. I am also socially awkward because I lost all my best girlfriends (almost all, AM has stuck with me!) to boyfriends. If you people (whoever reads this besides my Dad) understand that I live in my own little pink marshmallow universe where spelling and punctuation don't count and you can like Joy Division and Leftover Crack with out being called a poser and white gloves may be worn...its ok to sleep in false eyelashes and even more acceptable to wear the same ones twice...
I think on that note, this should be a beauty post. Not like you are really going to go out and buy the same shit that I wear, but...
1. Face
Angels on Bare Skin Face stuff. This is some good shit, its all grainy...
Then I spray this Teatree Toner on my face. These are both from
lush
Next, if I have any zits, or crap like that I use the Physician's Formula blemish Rx because it works and it gives coverage. It has medicine in it. I broke out a bunch this summer and stopped drinking dark soda and that has helped. I also used to use Bare Essentials mineral powder but that shit made such a damn mess and I think it also made me break out.
2. Makeup!!("Jewelry!")
Guerlain Terra Cotta Bronzer
Nars Multiple in Palm Beach
M.A.C Powder Blush in Dollymix (isn't that just a splendid name?)
Usually I'm all pale, so I layer all three. I don't use the bronzer as heavily in winter though.
Then I put this shimmery white on...(my eyelids...)Its just Ulta brand.
But sometimes I put this Rimmel Smokey Eyeshadow stuff on to mix it up...
Then I put some liquid black eyeliner on, usually in a little wing or an arch or sometimes just straight out and exaggerated. I need some better liquid eyeliner though. The top one, the Prestige High Def, turns GRAY after a while, and the NYC one isn't that bad (for $1.99!), but it has a brush and not a felt tip, which can really screw things up! I would like to find the perfect EXPENSIVE black liquid eyeliner...any suggestions? I use it like everyday...
Yaayyy for mascara!! If I were on a desert island...I'd bring MASCARA!!! (and lippy) See, I have this theory, you know how some hairstylists tell you to SWITCH shampoos frequently? Well, I like to SWITCH my mascaras for better results! I alternate them!! Sometimes I go nuts and just
layer them all, I like the spidery eye look! I never leave the house without it, and I love trying all the new drugstore brands because they are so cheap and its like instant gratification! The first one is Glam Eyes by Rimmel, the second one is also Rimmel, its called Lycra (like the stuff they put in yo' jeans to make'em streeecchh) Lash Extender, The third is CoverGirl Lash Blast, and the final (which I think they copied Covergirl with that packaging...) is Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express!!! I don't know which is the best!!
I really want to "splurge" and try some of this Fiberwig mascara that wraps little tubes around your lashes to make them seem longer...its from Japan, so HEY!
Yes, so I also like to wear fake lashes. Any occasion is good, like if someone was mean to me and I want to devastate them with my lusty lashes...or I could just be going to school/work... I use MAC, Ardelle, whatever. I usually buy really dramatic ones (I get really excited in the store...) that are usually reserved for Drag Queens, but I trim them up nice! I always use the Duo Surgical Adhesive stuff they have at the MAC counter. It's the best stuff. If you hold the lash with the roots facing you in a tweezer, you can put a thin line of glue around it, but wait a few seconds so it isn't too goopy. I can do this in my sleep, but it takes practice...
Dior Rouge in Celebrity Red is my fav! They didn't have a picture though. I am also into miscellaneous Berry/Wine shades for fall.
This is what I use on dirty hair, right before I tease it. It smells like an old lady, but in a good way, like laundry! Pssssst!!
Finally, a spritz or two (or three...) of Aquolina Pink Sugar! It smells like Cotton Candy and I've worn it forever! Its like our generation of Love's Baby Soft expect the tough girls wear it!
