So many ideas, so little time....

Sorry I didn't post yesterday at all. Looks like this is Not-Many-Stops November!

I have a couple ideas for upcoming posts/series/etc.


  1. Swatches of some TKB pigments and micas along with shadows I've made. You can suggest colors and/or products and I can try to recreate them.
  2. A DIY Plumping lip balm, since that's easier than a gloss. I'll show how to and final product.
  3. Massive e.l.f. and Nyx review-and-swatch-a-thons
  4. A pile of nail swatches, maybe.
  5. A comparison of various eye primers
  6. Recreations of Temptalia's looks. I'll tell you what I used and you can tell me if I failed or not.
On a more exciting note, I did makeup and hair for our office work study today. She came in already wearing foundation and concealer. Also her hair is curly so we had just told her to do it like she normally does, but NOT in a pony tail. I teased the roots on top and spritzed a tiny amount of hair spray. Her curls looked so cute!

I did a very neutral eye, smudged out brown liner. Black mascara though, because neither of us owned any brown mascara. A very soft application of a light peachy blush (because I'm not sure how to pick blush for other skin tones) and I combined e.l.f. Watermelon and Pink Kiss glosses for her lips. 

BTW, I was extremely sanitary about all this in case you're thinking GROSS! I sanitized all the products I used on her, nothing went from product to skin to product. I used multiple disposable applicators. Oh, and we used her mascara, which I loved and may need. Anyway, she usually wears about 238492 coats of mascara and a thick black line. Everything I did was very soft. 

I (and my co-workers) thought she looked very cute and flirty. She is not used to having any volume up top (her hair is flat on top with curls on the side. It makes her face look wide and a little boxy) so she said she looked like a poodle. However, she did confess to receiving a few compliments on her hair today from others.

I would really really like to start doing make up on others. I'll need to get better about curling other's lashes and applying liner. I'm not good at that stuff on others. I'm going to practice on my sister. I think we're also going to give her some false lashes.

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...
