FOTD: Meh
I was tired as shit this morning, but wanted to wear makeup, so I thought I’d do something simple with some new eyeshadow I’d gotten. It ended up not terribly impressing me – but maybe I need a stickier base? So I’m not giving up on it, but I felt kinda “meh” about the look. I mean, it’s cute, but after looking at all the awesome color combos on other blogs, it’s a little…meh. Maybe I’ll try something else later tonight. Or, since I’m still pretty tired, maybe I’ll just go to bed early.

I am not into the weather lately. It’s changing too much, which usually means I’m going to get sick (stupid allergies). Today? 36 when I checked the weather right before we left for work, and the high was 72. WTF. It’s a huge pain in the ass to dress warmly in the morning, and then lug around all my extra clothes in the afternoon. Lame.
I asked Greg what color I should paint my toenails, and he suggested orange. Orange is definitely outside my comfort zone, so I thought I should give it a try, but also thought I’d sort of ease into it. So I picked up China Glaze Coral Star. And then I picked up China Glaze Love Letters for my fingernails, since it kind of looked nice with the Coral Star. I’m not really sure how I feel about Coral Star. It’s still a little too orange for me, I think. I don’t know, I’m still getting used to it, though. Shit chips like a motherfucker, though, even with a topcoat. (I put on Milani Purple Pop Art Saturday before last, and it hadn’t chipped at all when I took it off Monday. Very little tip wear, too.) Love Letters is nice, I just wish it was more opaque. It’s lovely in the bottle, but I don’t want to paint a gajillion coats on my nails to get that color.

I also seem to be breaking out or something. Except it doesn’t look like my normal breakouts, which actually aren’t that bad – like one spot at a time.I guess “breakout” is kind of a misnomer. But this time I’ve got three spots in one day. It could be allergic, I guess, but I doubt it. Probably just stress from EMDR and shit, but I’m getting all self-conscious about it. Ugh. Ah shit. I just realized I might be having more spots since I’m not taking birth control anymore. Oh well, fuck it.
I’m watching Hitman right now, and so far, I’m enjoying it. Olga Kurylenko is so pretty – but that fake labret is obviously fake. Just lazy. It looks like they glued a rivet on; I know they’ve got better faux piercings than that. Whatevs. I love her makeup, though. Although I’ve never really been able to do a good raccoon eye. Maybe that’s something to add to my to-practice list. Tightlining is definitely on that list already. And contouring. And a bajillion other things. Back to Hitman – I’m about 45 minutes in, they’re in the train station. I swear they just changed Kurylenko’s lipcolor in the middle of it. From a dark, matte-ish crimson to a glossy caramel shade. Don’t they have like a continuity editor for makeup?
Speaking of makeup, time to go play.
