Talk about cobwebs over here. I haven’t written in forever, I know. Life outside of makeup is quite time-consuming. The only time I ever do a full face is special occasions as work is so casual. I haven’t even bought any make-up in months! It’s not like I’ve lost interest in make-up, it’s just M·A·C hasn’t come up with anything that’s truly “buy-worthy” for me. I’ll slowly ease my way into this whole blogging business again.
I swear I make an appearance here once a month for like three days straight and then it gets quiet again. Sorry for the lack of updates. Work, which can get so stressful I worry about it even when I’m out of there, gets me so tired. I work before 8 AM, mind you, and by the time I’m off, all I want to do is knock out. I haven’t worn a full face of make-up in weeks! All the make-up I wear throughout the weekdays is concealer, foundation, eyeliner, blush, a little bit of gloss (which I don’t bother to re-apply once it goes away), and eyebrow “gel” a.k.a. clear mascara to keep my brows in place (FYI one of the features in anyone’s face that I obsess about are eyebrows). I totally scrimp out on the eyeshadows and mascara. This all takes about 10 minutes, which is great because when it’s that early in the morning, who wants to spend more than that on their make-up? Clearly not I. Hell, I get tired of putting on make-up, I go out without any of it, at least lately.
I also haven’t bought make-up in a while, M·A·C or otherwise, although speaking of M·A·C, they’re having a Friends & Family discount going on from the 11th to the 16th, which got extended tomorrow. I may stop by my local freestanding store after work and see if there’s anything worth getting. By the looks of it [from swatches online], this new color story called “Cool Heat” looks so dupe-able. As much as I love teals and blues, I find it hard to work with the latter, at least on myself. I guess I’ll just have to see.
I’m still moving, but by the end of this week, I should be completely settled in, so maybe I’ll actually be able to squeeze in a video. It probably won’t be a tutorial, though. Everyone and their mamas makes one. YouTube is starting to freak me out with all the crazy people on there, so I may just use my own server to upload the videos.
Will update soon and some more, I promise. ‘Til next time!
I don’t know if anyone tried to access the site these past two days, but if you did, sorry if it was down. My web host was doing something on their end that had to be done and something I couldn’t control. I contacted them about it and everything seems to be fixed now. It was for the best anyway. I don’t mean to be a downer and I don’t mean to include my personal life when it doesn’t involve make-up, but I thought maybe at least one person would care (although I don’t want any sympathy; for some reason, I don’t handle sympathy well). My dog that I’ve had for about 10 years died on Monday and I’m still devastated by it, so I don’t expect to update for a few days. Hopefully my head will be clearer then. ‘Til next time.
Hi, lovelies! I know it’s been a while since I last updated and it’s now April. Just wanted to check in to show that I’m still around. Here are some features coming up for your information:
- Eye brows: shaping and grooming
- Another drugstore haul
- [Long awaited] transformation from daytime to nighttime make-up
- Basics
Stay tuned for those! I promise I’ll be updating within the next couple of days.

All right, so YouTube is down, which is a bummer because I actually finished editing a video before 8 PM for once. I figured I would do a quick update before I eat dinner (veggie burger, yum!).
Heatherette (new limited edition collection by M·A·C) is supposed to come out tomorrow (original launch date was the 27th, but it got pushed up). I’m going to call up my nearest M·A·C store(s) and see if they’ll launch their stuff tomorrow, so I can check it out and maybe buy something that catches my eye. I need to stop by to pick up a few things anyway (seriously, it sounds like an excuse, but it isn’t!).
Tomorrow is all about errands because I also need to go to Target to repurchase my concealer/color corrector (N.Y.C. cover stick in green, which I love), which I finally ran out of, and Whole Foods to stock up on some groceries. Maybe I’ll stop by the Japanese bakery and get a Milk France too. That’d be nice.
I’m trying to compile a list of products I’ve been using that I love, so I can do some reviews on it. I’ll get back to you on that, but for now, that’s about it. I hope YouTube is done performing site maintenance soon. I’m not a patient person. ‘Til the next update!
