Hello there! I'm so glad you're still following the blog even though it's been a (very long) while since the last update.
My skin problems haven't cleared up at all but at least I have some good days in between the bad ones, and so I've decided to get back into the colorful world of makeup on those good days! :)
I'd like to start with a statement: I love blogging.
And now that my exams are over, and I'm looking to spend my time doing exactly what I want instead of thinking about deadlines and grades all the time, I might actually have some time for the blogging world again!
I want blogging to be fun!
I don't really make money off of it and my blog isn't nearly as professional looking as so many others out there. But I love it anyway. Blogging is a source of inspiration to me, and I'd like to keep it going. I hate thinking back at the past year and realizing that I haven't done nearly as much makeup as I'd have liked and definitely haven't posted as much either.
However, since I can't change that, I'll try my best to keep up with the blog for the summer - and hopefully long after that as well, but let's face it - I shouldn't promise anything. I hate starting every post with "sorry I haven't posted, but I've been busy" and lame excuses like that.
Anyway,
the point of this post really wasn't to ramble on and on, but to share some random FOTDs I've done the past couple of months but never got around to posting.
I'm not entirely sure what I used in them, but I figured it was something to share :)
I don't really have any excuses for not posting other than being away on vacation for three weeks and just being busy in general for what seems like forever.
I had so many exciting things I wanted to post over the summer but I'm already back at the university. Wow. I really wish I had more than 24 hours a day! ;)
Hope you're all doing great :) Thank you so much to those of you who e-mailed me while I was taking this little unintended break :)
And thanks to everyone else for sticking around :D
Back with another FOTD :)
I did this look for work at MAC this past Saturday. It's amazing what makeup can do, really! I slept for just two hours the night before, and I still managed to look (and feel) awake ;)
Once again, Photobucket seems to be messing with the brightness of the pictures and I'm thinking I need to find another way to post them ;)
OK, so the makeup isn't actually "matching" my new hair at all, but I definitely did the makeup with the hair in mind. I just love greens and purples with red hair! :)
You won't believe how happy I am that I finally have the chance to post FOTD pictures!
I've been stressed out with exams and haven't had the energy to do makeup at all, but I've missed it so much! Hope you're all doing great :)
For some reason, Photobucked decided to tone down the vibrancy of the colors in these pictures, so they're not as good as they shold be. Sorry about that, but I have no idea what to do about it! :(
I was in a terrible hurry when taking these pictures (as I usually am when I'm on my way to work, lol!) so I the lash glue isn't completely dry and I didn't even put the gloss coat on top of the pro longwear lip color, so I'll apologize for that! ;)
Keep reading for more pictures and list of products used :)
