Lash Logic

Hola Divas…
So today I thought I would try something different and tell you about 2 things that happened to me in regards to my lashes recently…

I’ve always had short lashes, and I felt that my makeup looks would look better if I had longer lashes. So off I went to the the local spa and got lash extensions. Below you will see a picture of the “AFTER” affect.

And I couldn’t have been happier…. until… the removal. When I removed them I lost 90% of my lashes. I went from having “okay” lashes… to having barely anything for mascara to stick to. It was depressing. So because of that I stopped wearing makeup completely. It sounds silly but I think lashes bring an entire look together. And therefore, I felt why bother putting on makeup if the look was going to look “incomplete”.

So I’ve been using my usual mascaras which would include one from Sephora (a plumper volume lash mascara), Maybelline Falsies, and Loreal Power Volume. All of which I would mix and match and still I wasn’t getting the desired look. I knew my lashes were growing back… but just at a painstakingly low pace…. Then yesterday I read on AshleyGaGa’s blog (one of my fellow #blmgirls) that in order to  NOT cause lash damage with mascara that I should tr Maybelline Great Lash BIG (which only costs $4.44 at Wal-mart). Needless to say… I loved it so much… I was inspired to do a makeup look… I hope you enjoy… Have you ever tried lash extensions? If so, would you do it again? What mascara do you use daily? Do you think the lashes above would help the look below? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

MOTD: Your Help Is Needed

I love makeup… yes I do… And I realized recently that I love makeup and that I want to do it professionally. So now I have to send in a picture and a application to a makeup artistry program. But I am having the worst time figuring out which picture to send….

So this is where my wonderful readers come in… help me pick a picture… please?

See why it is so hard? Not to mention I suck at decision making… And which closed eye picture should I send?

Makeup Looks: Feeling like a MUA

Lately I've been having some phenomenal luck with my makeup lately. I know I am no where near being as good as a makeup artist... but considering where I started (seriously perouse my blog for my first posts and see how far I've come... lol). But here are the looks I've rocked over the last few days... I will do an outfit post (hopefully) a little later :)

Today's Look

Yesterday's Look

Saturday's Look

I hope you enjoyed my little makeup distraction... How are you doing? Leave me a comment... I promise to reply this time... I'm so so behind on blogs and comments but know I love and miss each and everyone of you :)

DOTD: Building from the bottom up

I decided that today... in order to go shopping to all the consignment shops in my area (Midnight Madness with 20% off). I wanted to be comfortable. So this is what I put on. But I wanted to show you how I got to the end result:

Outfit Breakdown & Explanation:

First I begain with a basic bottom layer. I put on my strapless bra and felt that the ladies weren't strapped in enough. So my bottom layer consists of a "too small" tube top & leggings. I bought an XL... cut out the teeny tiny built in bra... and used it to pull the ladies in a tad.

Tube top: MaxRave
Capri Leggings: Newport News

Then I added this convertible dress/skirt over it all

Dress: TJ Maxx

After adding the dress... I decided to add a wide belt (also to please Unique I.D.) and a shrug. I love the outcome. I did it unbuttoned and buttoned but ultimately liked it buttoned. I think its a perfect outfit for shopping. Slapped on some blue warpaint today... it seems stress and depression agrees with my makeup application. Another fairly good makeup day.

Sweater shrug: Torrid

Belt: Torrid

Shoes: Victoria Secret

Earrings: Beauty Supply Store

Sunglasses: Coach
