Makeup trials over the last couple of months.

I think this is the scariest, I look as if I was punched in the yes.

I love having side bangs, they can always cover one bad eyebrow

....or unmatching eyeshadows.

Yes, I even think about makeup in my sleep.

Wet n Wild lipsticks are beautiful! Pigmented and more mattifying, but not drying.

---------------------------

My job includes no makeup whatsoever and on the days I'm off, I don't even have the want to go out and dress up. If you ever see me in real life, I don't wear makeup often, but I try to practice as much as I can, if you can't tell from the couple of sleepy pictures.

Makeup to me didn't come natural in my life nor was it really ever in my life, it only sprouted during college and my desire to be better at it came post college in the strangest time. Makeup to me is like learning my multiplication table in the 2rd grade, I kept trying and I couldn't remember, other kids finished their time tables and were awarded prizes. I wanted those watches, those candies, I wanted to be like my friend. I studied and studied and worked until I got my first time table award/prize! My elementary years in terms of academic, being my foundation and building my work ethic to attain the proficiency that my classmates were at (especially English grammar) made me an extremely worker.

I have been practicing with makeup for close to 2 years, not always "active" and I haven't gotten much better. Just like those time tables, practice, practice, ask questions, and seek help. Hard work needs to always be a foundation in everything I do.

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such. Would I repurchase this product again? Yes, I really want to eggplant . In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading). I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time. I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

First Goodbye

This specific day I said goodbye to something, the first of its kind in my life.It is difficult to let go when something has become part of your life and you will not be the same after it is gone. I will do my best to focus on other things in my life and getting things done. I don't regret it though, I'm grateful because we are not rocks nor stones that are untouchable and life brings us events and people to change our lives. Thank you for everything you have given me I now have a thing for rings and earrings, long earrings. The one above is my favorite (Charlotte Russe), it reminds me of mango leaves for some reason and that leads to the book The House on Mango Street that I will read by the end of this year. Have you ever been in an experience where you never want to be in ever again? I never want to be so cold again, therefore, I always wear a small camsole (is that right?) inside all of my shirts. I think i'm kind of into lacey clothing items. ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.
