Sorry!!!

Totally forgot about the blog...I'll have to get it going again...it's been a while!!

Makeup Pics from 2006!

This isn't every single pic I have from '06. A lot of them are just horrendous and should never see others' eyes. haha I had only been doing makeup for about a year at this point & was still very experimental with colors and placement. These are just the ones that kinda worked!

MAC gold pigment, green smoke & Velvet moss eyeshadows with ricepaper to highlight.

MAC Plumage, pompous blue, and rice paper to highlight

Make Up For Ever white eyeshadow, with blue pure pigment, MAC felt blue eyeshadow & freshwater on bottom.

This was for a myspace makeup group challenge..it was something goth-ish themed. I drew the shape around the eye first and filled it in with black eyeshadow & used red to "drip" down the face..its super sloppy! I wish I had mixing medium when I did this!

Rachel Perry Lip Balm inspired..it's m fav. lip balm!

on the eye: make up for ever black & yellow eyeshadow, with MAC true chartreuse & chartreuse pigments, & orange eyeshadow.

I remember doing this for Halloween, even though I didn't dress up or actually go anywhere..I was bored! I used lace and make up for ever eyeshadows all over.




MAC deep truth, freshwater, and Ricepaper on top with MAC platinum pigment on the bottom



Make Up For Ever matte lavender and violet (92) eyeshadows

MAC Chrome yellow, Dusty Coral Pigment, and Make Up For Ever Hot pink eyeshadow. And Dusty Coral along the bottom

MAC bitter, lime, and velvetmoss on top. With MAC lemon pigment on bottom. I forget what's on the lips, but most likely I mixed a bunch of stuff together.

MAC chrome yellow eyeshadow, Make Up For Ever black e/s, and MAC ricepaper to highlight. MAC red lip lacquer on the lips.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...

Is this thing on?

I can't believe I went ahead and made this little blog deal. Although, I'll most likely enjoy having another outlet for all my crazy up and downs whether it be with makeup or my personal life. I find keeping them separated isn't easy, or at least to me it's not. The two just get all mushed together. I have a feeling this will soon become another public diary..

This thing will be kept pretty simple. One, because I'm not familiar with blogs, and two, I know nothing about designing things with codes or whatever it is people use. I like the black background and easy to read font..That's all I need, I'm good for now.

Today was rather uneventful. I took Malaea to school, as always, came home, and plopped on the couch (folded some clothes). The teacher didn't really need my help today, so no staying at school for me. I caught up on my fav. shows though!

Project Runway always makes me happy. I know NOTHING about fashion, to be honest, but I do enjoy that show. I feel so out of the loop for someone who's supposed to be living and breathing all the fashion & makeup "stuff". I don't know the snazzy terminology, I don't keep up with the runway shows or up coming trends, or designers. Most of the time I don't find it interesting. I'd rather stay in my own bubble and decide what looks nice as it comes, it's just not that serious to me.

Sadly, as I was watching P.R. , a bizarre commercial came on. I'm still trying to process why in the world Loreal made a foundation you have to ROLL on your face.. I don't even want to talk about because it'll irritate me more than it already has.

Anyway, after that I switched on The First 48..another great show on A&E. I love me some A&E.

Sooo...yea, basically I watched TV til it was time to attack another load of laundry and time for my parent/teacher meeting with Malaea's teacher.

1st grade has been quite the experience. It's left me kind of feeling hopeless, at the moment. Malaea is a smart girl. And I'm not saying that because I'm her mom. If she had learning issues, I wouldn't be that mom in denial trying to fool herself and everyone else. pshh.. Malaea is actually above average, especially in reading. That's awesome. I hated reading, still do. I hated everything about school. So the fact that she's doing well is something that really makes me proud and I hope that it continues for her and doesn't die down.

Now, the problem is she has an issue with listening and following directions. She refuses to sit down and not run off to play with the other distracted kids. It's driving me crazy. She does the same thing at home and I'm almost sure if I had more discipline support, she'd be okay. She acts as if she can do whatever she wants because she knows as long as I'm not around to bring consequence to her not-so-awesome acts, she has nothing to loose by doing them.

I feel as though we'll be struggling with that for a while, until I get proper funds to move out and to freedom. Until then, I will continue to love and nurture the great qualities she does have and are starting to develop. We will continue reading & writing daily.

SOOOO haha...that has been my day so far. Now I'm here typing my life away with my now uneven eagle claw nails. The evening is still young! Who knows what will happen...but most likely nothing. HA!

I think I'll go attempt to post/organize my makeup pics on here, I've almost 5 yrs worth to go though. FUN!!!!!

Now let me go twitter about this first entry..hahaha
