The Red Lip

You know, normally, I am not a fan of the "Red Lip" however today I was playing around and I figured I would see what I could see. I bought this magic marker type thingy from MAC. Just checked on the name Pro Longwear Lip Stain - in Tomorrow's Coral. I was instructed to put clear Lip Glass on it, but of course I had to go extra with it. SO, I had some Pro Longwear Lip Colour in ??, and then I put the clear stuff that comes with that on top.

It all started with me trying to perfect making my skin flawless without looking powdery, greasy or cakey..Still working on that. I thought I might be going out, but when I realized I wasn't I decided to go in experiment mode. I am thinking that Red might be something for me to wear from time to time to mix it up.


We'll see...


Oh and an update on the Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette I have been crying over. Urban Decay is selling it in a bundle on their website, for freakin' $211.. With a whole bunch of other bogus stuff I don't want or need. It was $52 originally, but $211, that made me mad, so I am over it..lol.. I was going to ask someone to gift that to me, but I would rather spend $200 on a whole bunch of stuff I would actually use.

Most of what I am wearing is Mac, with a little Sephora & Loreal eyeshadow in there. But once I decided on the red lip, I tried to cover up the Gold Sephora Eyeshadow with the taupe Loral Eyeshad on my lower lid.

I also started to put on the lashes, but truly I was not going anywhere and I didn't feel like putting on Mascara and lashes knowing full well they were coming off 10 minutes later.

One more thing...

I was Youtube video watching today..and I came upon the dreaded review of Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland palette. That thing came out in January and sold out almost immediately.  I missed it and I am STILL pining away..I went on ebay and those things were selling for like $125!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I should have just jumped on it in March when they were $75 on ebay, I think the original price was like $35 or $45 [correction $52].. Sniff...

I really shouldn't still be this upset about it...lol...but I AM!

Dang you Alice!
(sigh)

Slacking off!

I haven't posted in a while... I moved to a new city...not adjusting well I am afraid..

Oh and what is worse, I had a serious breakout that I have been covering up for months. It just got really bad, one of my friends said i looked like someone burned my face with a cigarette. Needless to, I wasn't in my new city but 2 weeks before I had an appointment with a dermatologist. That was before I even found an apartment.. priorities.

So that was the end of February. For 2 whole months, I wore NO makeup...I think that attributed to my not adjusting well, because I didn't feel like going anywhere...lol.. Anyway now I am happy to say...that today I don't have one active acne pimple. I have these little heat bump looking things on my forehead. I am going to make an appointment to figure out what is going on with that. But no pimples and the scarring has gone away to the point where if I am not concerned about perfection, I don't need concealer...I am so happy.

So stay tuned for new posts.. its going to require me to get up a 1/2 hour earlier to take pics and make sure everything is straight..so that is a little challenge. Oh here is pic of me yesterday.. kind of crazy pic, I know... I was trying to only take a pic of my eye lashes so I could show a friend of mine and I haven't mastered my new camera stand and setup at my new place...lol..

Oh and you can see only remnants of my battle with acne.. I am only wearing MAC mineralize powder and MAC natural skin finish for foundation.













I am going to get my act together...so stay tuned!
