Lovely lashes

I have had an impossible time with false lashes and liquid liner in the past. I don't know what it was, but I was just unable to use these products. I think I got frustrated and gave up way to easily.

Saturday, I assembled a new shelf on which I placed all my beauty products (hair, face, cosmetics). The stuff I use every day are on a short table with a mirror that is next to the shelf. I've decided I cannot buy more beauty products than can fit on these two shelves. Some hair and face items are also in the bathroom, of course.

Anyway, I reorganized my makeup and got rid of some old stuff. I came across some Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner. I though, I'll just play around. I'll probably fail. Hard.

Well, I didn't. I liked it a lot. This liner has a felt tip, which I think might be easier for newbs such as myself. In fact, when we went to an Agora party this weekend I wore liquid liner. I have to say, I'm a fan. I still like my Milani better, but I may add this to my every day makeup rotation.




I thought, well if I'm using liquid liner, I might as well try to use falsies. So, after the Agora party, I sat down in my room and pulled out some ELF lashes. I bought several sets years and years ago. I sucked so bad, but I couldn't bring myself to throw them out.

Well, I was actually able to put them on! Yay! I wasn't sure how I felt about having all that on my lid though. Would take some getting used to. I gently pulled off the lashes and cut them so that I could place lashes on only the last third of my lid. Bam! This is it. This is what I like. It really intensified my lashes without being obvious that I was wearing falsies! I am definitely going to start wearing these more regularly. Even better, I asked K-Swiss what he thought about my makeup and he said "Your eyelashes are very pretty." No prompting on what he ought to be looking for. I'm pleased.


The first photo is with full lashes on. The second photo is with lashes on the outer third of my eye.


CAN YOU SEE MY RIDICULOUS HAIR FLIPPING OUT? It needs to be cut. Like now. But more likely, tomorrow.

good. you can help me with that when I get up there. though, falsies aren't every practical for me. When I'm working I'm either a nanny or I have one eye squeezed shut and one eye pressed against a camera. A falsie would definitely fall off in the latter situation. In the former, it'd just be weird.

Gosh, sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing anymore. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart. Sometimes, I wonder if I did the right thing. I think I did. I'm sure I did. Right?

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me.

LONGAVILLE: You swore to that Berowne, and the rest! BEROWNE. By yea and nay, sir, then I swore in jest. What is the end of study, let me know. KING. Why, that to know which else we should not know. BEROWNE. Things hid and barr'd, you mean, from common sense? KING. Ay, that is study's god-like recompense. BEROWNE. As thus: to study where I well may dine, When I to feast expressly am forbid; Or study where to meet some mistress fine, When mistresses from common sense are hid; KING. These be the stops that hinder study quite, And train our intellects to vain delight. BEROWNE. Why, all delights are vain; KING: I've seen for days that you've got The ways that must be checked In you I never can detect The slightest signs of intellect Your mad on dances, think of the chances you neglect You never seem inclined to use your mind You're just a fella who Has got his brains in his dancing shoes Take a lesson from me BEROWNE: I'd rather Charleston LONGAVILLE and DUMAINE: Do...
