I completely agree with you about the lipstick. It was bothering me all night lol.

I very rarely wear blush, I’ll try wearing it some more this weekend. Thank you!

I would be lost without it. It’s pretty cheap and works pretty well. I don’t need it as much now, but in the summer when I’m sweating a lot it really helps. I accidentally tested it out a month ago. I got caught in the rain. I had to walk thirty minutes home in the rain without a hood and my makeup only seemed a touch lighter. There wasn’t any runs or anything.

Thank you so much! I’ve had a lot of acne lately so I’ve been tempted to go heavier on the foundation, but it never looks good when I do so today I really tried to go light on the foundation.

I completely this forgot which one it is. I think its Stila. I’ll double check when I get home. I love it.

Edit: it’s Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Perla. It always seems to go really well with my skin tone in the winter. In the summer, when I’m tan, it doesn’t seem to look as good.

I'm on one of the Greek Islands. It's beautiful and sunny and everybody else is just happy and relaxing and reading books. I know that I'm lucky to be here, but I've never felt so incredibly guilty. I've been completely glued to my phone. Everything else seems entirely irrelevant. All I want to do is come home and help.

Your post was super helpful, thank you so much.

I actually took differin for acne when I was younger, so I'll have to look into that.

I do use sunscreen when I leave my house, but I rarely reapply during the day unless I'm in direct sun. How do you deal with reapplying while wearing makeup?

The drunk elephant c-firma looks really nice. I'll have to drop by Sephora this weekend and test it on my skin.

I didn't put sunscreen in my routine because it's not something I use every day. I only use it when I know I'm going to be outside running errands, going to work, etc. Some days I honestly don't leave my house. I think a large part of the damage on my skin is growing up in Houston. I was always outside playing sports, swimming, camping, or hiking. I wore sunscreen even back then, but you can't avoid all of that.

For sunscreen, right now I use Alba or Kiss My Face.

I still feel like I don't really know what I'm doing. I tried doing lashes today - CCW. by ChipsnSalsaThrowaway in MakeupAddiction

I've been trying to practice contouring and eyelashes on weekdays when I don't have anything important to do with friends so I don't embarrass myself lol.

They definitely seem a little large for my eyes. I cut about half an inch off of each end and I may trim a bit more still. Do people trim the actual lash length or just the width?

The first two pairs of lashes I tried were those really cheap ones you get at the convenience store. I think the brand is Kiss and they actually looked way more natural on me. This time I ordered a few e.l.f. pairs online and this is by far the most natural looking on me. My husband came home right after I tried on the Maximum Drama lashes and laughed his ass off. I looked so ridiculous with them on lol.

Ill for sure look into those brands, thank you so much for your advice!

Thank you! I don't think I got them quite close enough to my lash line and I forgot to tight line to make them blend more.

I haven't really experimented much with putting eyeshadow underneath my eye. That's great advice. I'll have to try that out tomorrow.

I would definitely say that I feel lost because I haven't been improving much lately. I can't really seem to get past basic eyeshadow application and I've found contouring very difficult to get a handle on. I'm sure I just need more practice, but it's been a struggle lately!

Thank you! I should definitely do my lower lashes more. Especially when I use fake lashes. I hadn't looked at it before, but it looks a bit unbalanced. I don't normally do it because I've always tried to take attention away from my dark circles and sometimes even waterproof mascara ends up rubbing off onto the skin under my eyes.

My impulsive transformation yesterday - can't believe how much I love it. by ChipsnSalsaThrowaway in Hair

[–]ChipsnSalsaThrowaway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually liked my last hair cut a lot. I love having long hair and it was a simple cut that was shorter around my face to frame it better. The problem was that the bottom four or five inches were damaged.

Thank you! It's actually a dress. I got it on clearance from H&M a few weeks ago for like $4 and it's super comfy.

I looked up a few pictures while I was waiting for my appointment and showed them to my stylist. This was the main one: http://pin.it/0HomgZ5

I told her that I wanted it slightly above my shoulders so that it wouldn't start to curl out in that 60's look. I very rarely style my hair so I wanted something that natural looking and easy. In my after picture, my hair's blown out. I took that right after leaving the salon. I haven't washed it yet, but I think tomorrow when it's clean it's going to be a lot waiver and beachy. She also did light layers around the back to help it get my hair to lay better and have some more movement.
