Talkin' Bout 'Scara

I often get asked "What mascara do you use?" and it kind-of changes over time but
I wanted to talk about this new Revlon one I recently got because it's so impressive for a drug store brand. Forget that- It's just impressive mascara.

This Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara is bananas!

I didn't curl them today either. This Revlon stuff crazy-good.


This nail polish is Essie in Geranium.


The wand is enormous. The Revlon brush on top of the MAC studio fix brush.


After -----------------------------------------------------------------Before

I got a big bag of Revlon make-up from a gift bag from a benefit-thang Matt attended.
If you come over, remind me to let you grab bag from this monster bag of stuff!
People keep coming over, and I forget to share. 

I also tried this Color Stay lipcolor - lipstick in Ultimate Orchid. I don't want to call it gloss because it's not really glossy.  It feels kind-of dry, but it didn't go anywhere all day. Serious staying power.

I believe Revlon's Color Stay products are the most long-lasting. Sometimes hard to remove even, but isn't that the point?

Beauty Injury Day

I had a terrible beauty injury today. I hurt myself doing something I've gotten away with for about 19 years. I thought I was going to permanently be wearing black-out shades like this:

So sad. 
I hurt myself doing this-



My left - your right. I was late to work because I had to sit and let it cry and water-out for about 10 minutes. 
I'm going to pick up a MAC 204 brush - To Avoid this old-fashioned injury. But I know I can't quit the 'pin. It's the best! 


Funny there were safety pins at the self-timer spot I went to in the park this morning! What a coincidence!




Thrifted gold necklace - Forever 21 leopard top - Ribbon belt - H&M dress shorts - Forever 21 bow flats. Really glad I can wear shorts and skirts. Sorry, dudes. 

Yesterday I dressed like Little House on the Prairie and wore sensible shoes.

Target dress & fake keds. Belt from some Charlotte Russe shorts. Wal-mart $5 sunglasses.

Back to today's little top; it had this little bullshit bowtie thing and I cut it off and used a more substantial belt.




Cute tshirt I fawned over pulled the trigger on today.

And I might go to this because I'm a fan.

On my way home- Summertime.

Ruffles and Flow!

Two watches. I don't trust my McDonald's Happy Meal watches so much lately. I suspect they're slowing down. I have a legit watch to be for-sure-for-sure what time it is.

This outfit was kick-ass for riding!

The shirt is vintage Victoria's Secret. The tag has a font that looks like the Vivienne Westwood font. The skirt is from H&M - recent purchase.

Today was a very pleasant day!


I had a peachy eye, coral lipgloss & blush. Orange skirt. A couple of my co-workers had on shades of orange and coral too. I was like "gosh, should we leap-frog this trend and get to the next?!"

Right now I'm using MAC Studio Fix Lash and I'm loving it. I put one good swipe on top of my top lashes then proceed as usual by coating them upward. Mmm...Mmm...Good Stuff!

Sick Lashes

My eyelashes looked sick/badass/awesome/fake this morning. This is just MAC Pro Lash in Coal Black.
I applied it to the top-side of the top lashes first. Before hitting the roots and moving in an upward motion.

I'm saying I started by pushing down on the tips of my top lashes then doing traditional mascara application. I just love Pro Lash because it's black as hell and it never gives me attitude.

Coral Face + Opulash!

The other night I went to get some make-up education from my good friends at MAC. I've always gone to the one at Henri Bendel on 5th Ave., because it's the best location walking distance of my apartment and of course, Bendel's is fancy. Who doesn't want to have a fancy time? And now I have these Loves!



I am into "Lady Make-up" lately since I work at such a lovely, normal company now.
See my outfit of the day?

Total "Lady" style.

I got a grey eyeliner, coral Cremesheen Glass - it feels amazing. (This is not my first shade in this formula.)
I got the Cremesheen Glass in the shade/color "Richer, Lusher"

The Power Point eyeliner in a completely matte Grey Utility.

And I got their new mascara - Opulash. Their answer to Dior Show, which I love. OMG I just looked it up and Opulash is HALF THE PRICE of Dior SHOW! Get into it.

This is the very first application of my new tube of Opulash and I don't think the wand-brush is even saturated. I'm saying it's going to get better than this:

I took this pic because I can't get over the huge wand on the Opulash. And now I can't get over the fact that it's half the price of Dior Show. WHat's up with that?! It's awesome, but dang! This wand is as big or bigger than my eye.
