Today, I woke up to an important message on facebook. I had slept through most of daylight and I realize that this could probably be one of the most important messages I would ever receive in my entire life. (Yes it was that important to me.)
I had to do 20 million other things, just so I would be able to focus on this message alone. There was so much I has to do (approving things for the magazine, talking to Danyy, conversing about Udoli) that I left the message as a reward for taking care of everything else.
After joining Black Diamond. I feel like I'm starting over again.
I feel stupid like I haven't heard of what Gyaru is, and I have to be on Charisma level instantly. I hate seeing gals I don't like, look ten times better on a whim, when I'm struggling to get that "right" look for me. I'm only trying to look like the best Gal Version of myself. I'm proud of my progress, but I've got a long way to go.
I've have this photo for the longest time. You can obviously see how it intrigues me. I've got a basic understanding about how to make something similar. My main concerns are how to deco it. Does anyone have any ideas?
As a Scorpio, I go through a cycle of life, death, rebirth. Right now I'm at the cusp between death and rebirth. Why? Because there are issues that I don't want to deal with... Or.. I'm trying to deal with now. It's funny how one small decision to save my own sanity can be the cause of world war. The pieces of my chessboard are being setup right now. All I can hope for is a stalemate.
Note: This started off as a facebook status. And with my personal blogging methods, it became a small post
I personally Love Makeup. I would horde is if I could (and sometimes I have). But I hate it when it takes up space! You can spend $1000's of dollars on makeup, and end up needing a whole room dedicated to it. Not that I'm knocking it of course, who wouldn't want a room dedicated to makeup?
But as a mama that shares a bedroom with a husband and a toddler, I value all the space I can get.
So the first thing that always comes to find are palettes. Yes! Palettes... MAC, Unni, MUFE, Z, DIY, etc whatever! There are lots of ways to store your eyeshadows and blushes. Usually it's the glosses and lip sticks that screw you over.
Do you realize how many "closet room" and "makeup collection" videos where you see these *throws up the air quotes* "GURUS" show what all their YouTube money managed to get themselves? It's sickening how much they've invest to keep shit in the original packaging. But there's one Guru (well actually two) that did something that made sense to me. They had lipstick palettes.
Don't believe me? *shouts to hubs in the background* Roll footage!
Go to 0:53 for the beginning of the "proof"
Are you still with me? Good.
Now hopefully you've gotten a peek at the handfuls of lip palette containers shown in the above video. Wasn't that fucking brilliant? I'm telling you, all my prayers would be answered. I only need one decent one. Seriously how many lipsticks does a gyaru need? There's nudes, pinks, and any color you need to color correct.
Now then, where can we purchase empty lip palettes? Let's start with the expensive shit:
Behold this Japonesque 14-WELL PRO PALETTE. This baby holds 14 lip colors in mini wells (or spaces for you common termed folks) that can travel with you, or look cute on your vanity.
The JAPONESQUE® 14-Well Pro Palette includes 14 compartments (14 large
wells on one side and an open space on the other). This palette features
a thumb-notch center divider attached with a long hinge. 6-1/2" x 4" x
1"
You can enjoy this little slice of Gal Status heaven for the super high price of... *drum roll* $31.00USD!!
This isn't a big price for me of course. But some may find this ridiculously steep and elitist. After all if we rather use our money for gal meets instead of Circle Lenses (esp. when we don't own any), how can we foot the bill for such a sleek palette.
Let's see if we can find something more... GAL approved, shall we?
But of course everyone is not a Hime Gyaru or a Anna Sui freak. So maybe we should find something a little more universal hmm?
I know! Let's find the acutal lip palette shown in the Pixiwoo video?
Honestly, what I did manage to find on Amazon is interesting... but you should check it out for yourself. I personally think it doesn't warrant enough to be mentioned. And please don't ask about Ebay. Just... no.
Anyways, if you would to figure out how to press lipsticks into a palette, check out Goss's video below.
Now, if you're wondering 'I don't know why this bitch is talking about
color correcting with lipstick," then stay tuned to this blog, (the GFC
is to your right →) because I will explain the elements of color theor. I
will show you how to use it, not only fix shit, but make others think
you're extremely talented, or have money to blow (trust me on this).
