Makeup, MMOs, Me & More.

My obsession with makeup, online fantasies, etc.

On weekends, I work as a home caregiver for a woman with Alzheimer's Disease. I stay at her house to take care of her all day and night for about 48 hours. I'm pretty much on my own there, and I run things my way, using my best judgement with as much as I know as a student nurse. 

Anyway, today I had some time to do makeup, so I kept the colors natural. I decided to use my Micabella mineral eye shadows again.

On this day, I was totally stressed out about my OB nursing quiz and my midterm for Islam. I used up the whole morning to study, and that left little time for makeup.

I went with my mom to downtown Los Angeles to do some errands with her, and afterwards, we went shopping in the fashion district around Santee Alley. They have a lot of inexpensive makeup there! I ended up buying a lot of NYX Cosmetics. I hope to go back there and try one of those really pretty looking palettes by Santee Cosmetics sometime.

I got:
NYX Mosaic Powder - Dare
NYX Eyeshadow Base - White
NYX Lip Gloss Palette - The Naturals
Italia navy blue eye pencil
a blue glittery eye liner
Super Lash by Apple mascara - blue
a pencil sharpener - of course, blue!

Valentine's Day is coming up soon. I saw Too Faced had this contest until February 14th, so I thought I'd give it a shot. So here is the look I did for it. I was feeling very adventurous and ended up using a lot of bright color in this look.
