OK.  
per mass-request ... (ahem, no names necessary.  YOU know WHO you ARE *COUGH* *COUGH*)
i give you ... 
my make up bag...or really just pictures of whats inside...

... i have played around with ALOT of cheap and expensive products as well as everything in between (we'll not go into the long gone used up makeup I'm probably still paying for, sigh) ... and these are my favs ...

*********
A.)  CONCEALER!  ... BARE MINERALS!
I know there are some massive rules concerning concealer and foundation (which came first the chicken or the egg, yadda yadda) ...
BUT ... I don't wear foundation.  So i cannot help you.
 Sorry.  
 but i will say this...i have always went with what makes me FEEL GOOD ... what is that quote?
"ITS MASSIVELY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN WHAT I'M WEARING. IT JUST MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. THEN MY FACE LOOKS BETTER. WHEN YOU SHOW YOUR BEST FACE AND YOUR BEST SELF, YOU QUITE OFTEN GET THAT BACK"


This stuff is AWESOME!  NOTHING covers like it does...P.S. works great as EYE SHADOW BASE TOO...
 (WHY WOULD YOU PAY EXTRA FOR EYESHADOW BASE WHEN CONCEALER IS THE EXACT SAME THING...? Craziness)

2.)  LOOSE FACE POWDER  ...MARY KAY!
  (IVORY, I'M A PALE ONE)

My Mom has sold Mary Kay since i was in HIGH SCHOOL, so this is just a product that i have stuck with.  if it AINT BROKE why FIX IT? right?

C.)  BLUSH!  NARS. ORGASM. 'NUFF SAID.
Some things ARE worth spending more on, I SWEAR!
THIS!  IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.  Period. 
the BEST BLUSH EVER! 

4.) BRONZER!  ...PHYSICIANS FORMULA SHIMMER STRIPS!
ANOTHER STAPLE.  i go through this stuff like CANDY!


P.S. You can use this as body bronzer/shimmer too *WINK*

E.) ANOTHER BLUSH! ...HARD CANDY 
i have no IDEA why i started this, but it just stuck...
Just go over the upper part of your cheek bone with this, it highlights the nars really well ... Takes your Orgasm into overdrive (HAHA)
sorry.

6.)  CREME EYESHADOW ... HARD CANDY!
You just CANNOT BEAT the cheap stuff at Wally World!
I use the peachy color, and ONLY put it on the lid (TO THE CREASE)...

G.)  MORE...SHIMMER STRIPS...
actually, I USUALLY JUST USE the BRONZER for this too but didn't want to put the same thing twice!
SO...
this goes OVER the creme Hard Candy Creme Shadow...

8.)  THE CHERRY ON TOP ;) ...EYESHADOW!
STILLA! KITTEN!!
 
If you READ my BLOG, you know that...me and Kitten have had our rounds...
SUPPOSEDLY to get the super sparkly little crystals so PRETTY Stilla has make this powder SUPER FINE and thus SUPER CRUMBLY...
(I've actually made my kids brush their teeth in the kitchen for a month before while i salvaged KITTEN POWDER spilled into my sink)
BUT...I HAVE TO SAY ... still, WORTH IT. SIGH.
this goes under the brow and in the corner of your eye...

I.)  EYELINER! Bare Minerals (AND a lil' PHYSICIANS FORMULA)
 

FIRST, the BARE MINERALS, then BLEND...then the LIQUID PHYSIC ANS FORMULA FOR DEFINITION...

10.) FINALLY...THE MASCARA!!


LAYER. LAYER. LAYER.
Multiple coats = BIG PRETTY LASHES :)

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
Jung
"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself."
-Soren Kierkegaard

My new ink ...

...AND THEIR MEANINGS...Since so MANY have ASKED ;)


written in HEBREW:

(Hebrew word translated) QAVAH = to WAIT/HOPE

According to Hebrew definition, waiting is like wound up strands of rope.  Those strands are PATIENCE and HOPE.  Waiting must have the elements of PATIENCE and HOPE otherwise the integrity of it's meaning is compromised and the experience is invalidated.

PATIENCE:  Is bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.  It is the willingness to suppress restlessness when confronted with delay.

HOPE:  Is looking forward to a favorable end result with expectation and confidence.
The Hebrew word for QAVAH (WAIT) is sometimes translated "HOPE" or "LOOK EXPECTANTLY"
BE PATIENT AND DON'T QUIT.  HAVE HOPE AND DON'T DOUBT.  THE WAIT WILL EVENTUALLY GET YOU OUT.




written in HEBREW:

(Hebrew word translated) EMET= TRUTH

In the Hebrew meaning of TRUTH, it is not a question of WHAT but WHO.  TRUTH is not a thing.  TRUTH is a way of living, a mode of existence.  TRUTH is intensely personal.  It is a feeling, an emotion...it is compassionate and angry.

"TRUTH IS A FIERY BREATH THAT BROODS OVER THE EVENTS OF THE PHYSICAL WORD"

Truth is in the formation of the character and the restoration of the world.  The nature of TRUTH becomes grounded in the moments of decision.



"My DRAGONFLY..."

DRAGONFLY SYMBOLISM:

Change, Dreams, Deep Thoughts

the DRAGONFLY represents the ability to see around things by looking from different angles. 

Life can bend, shift, and adapt in various ways, making life's appearance never be what it appears to be.

The MAGIC of the DRAGONFLY shows us to see through life's illusions and find our true vision.

DRAGONFLIES are the keepers of dreams. 
They embody a stripping away of all the beliefs that say we cannot achieve a dream or goal; they are to remind us that anything is possible when we really get the understanding that we are part Spirit and as such we have the power to manifest anything that we desire.

Dreams are like stars. We may never touch them, but if we follow them they will lead us to our destiny
Sometimes you need to be a bitch to get things done.
- Madonna.
I know change can be scary, but it's part of growing up. It's how we find out who we are and who we're gonna be.

why-crossfade

"Why"

Walking madly - feeling strangely and I'm not sure where to go
I got a funny feeling - Have I lost my meaning
I wish I could go home
When you said you were leaving I didn't let it affect me
Sat on the bar and let them flow
Now I'm lost and lonely
I wish you never told me what I didn't want to know

And I will crawl on my own -
I'm taken by your smile
As I'm lyin beside you dying inside
I don't know

Why I try to save this when all I ever want to do is get as far as I can go
Where there's nothing left of me and
You're now worthless to me you are no more
I'm as far as I can go -
nothing left of me and you

I thought the buzz would help me
I think it just made me crazy
Can't pull me out of this hole
You say you could not save me -
You wouldn't stay to watch me
It was too much on your soul
Now I'm feelin alright to get us back to right
And you're nowhere I can find
No longer living blindly
Just seemed to be bad timing
Cuz you walked into the night
Why
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”
— Rumi
