FOTD: More mattes
THE INDIGO TOMORROW!!! SQUEEE!!!
Ahem.
Now that that’s out of my system: makeup and blathering. This morning I grabbed a L’Oreal HiP Shadow Duo I’d gotten a while ago but not used yet. What I failed to notice was that it’s actually “L’Oreal HiP Matte Shadow Duo.” Matte. I’m not that comfortable with mattes. I also didn’t think to grab any extra brushes, since there’s a sponge in the base of the container already. So I got to blend with my finger, on top of the trouble I have blending mattes to begin with (since I almost never use them). But given all that excuse-making, I actually like how it turned out.

I’m watching Supernatural right now (yay for it being back!), and sweet mother of God, I love Jim Beaver. Especially as Bobby Singer. And the wall of phones! I love it, and I’m so happy it gets another appearance.
When I got home today, my Evil Shades order was waiting for me! Yay! I ordered Rainbow in the Dark nailpolish (how could I not, with that name?!), and six glosses. It came in a supercute bag (that unfortunately I tore opening), and also included a heart-shaped lollipop and a generous free sample of 13th Hour eyeshadow. I love it all so much!

Gloss swatches:

-Top row, left to right: Diana’s Bow (just barely visible, but very pretty light pink), Lillian’s Light, Sasha’s Heart
-Bottom row, left to right: Sinister (green, hells yes!), Venom (black gloss, another hells yes), Deadly
Did I mention I love them? I’m painting my toenails with Rainbow in the Dark. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get a picture that does this polish justice. It’s soooo pretty! But so dark, and the glitter is so delicate. There’s alot of it, and it catches the light, but I don’t know if a still picture could catch that.
Now for the blathering. Or, really, further blathering, on a different topic. My anxiety seems to be pretty much through the roof. It’s awesome. (That’s a sarcastic “awesome,” by the way.) All my tics and triggers are getting worse. And I’m anxious in cars to begin with, especially on long trips, especially mountain roads, and so I’m thinking tomorrow’s drive is going to be extra fuuuuuuun. Blecch. Whatever. So, my spots are almost certainly stress/anxiety-related, and I think I’m getting a cold sore. Ugh. And last night, I dreamt that I flew on an airplane to the moon (which was populated and alot like Earth, actually) – with my family. And by “family” I mean my actual birth family, the one I’m currently estranged from; not my chosen family, and not Greg.
Interruption, sorry – Supernatural just used the sound effect from Lost, that plays with the word “Lost” in the opening credits. Huh. I kind of thought that effect was…proprietary?
Anyway, in my dream, I’m on the moon with my family, and they’re being horrible, as per usual, and I’m miserable. So I get away from them, and text Greg, only he won’t respond. 
So, yeah, I’d say there’s some anxiety going on. Boo. Whatever. This time tomorrow, I’ll be watching kickass bellydancing.
Nice blood splatter on the camera, Supernatural.
Jen/Camellia Rose over on the Meow Cosmetics forums suggested some foundation matches for me, so I ordered a bunch of samples today. Looking forward to trying them out – and apparently my eyes aren’t that bad when it comes to figuring out undertones, and I *do* have beige/yellow undertones. Go my eyes. I also got a haul from Cherry Culture – they were having a sale on Nyx that was too good to pass. I got some stuff I’ve been lemming*, and already know I’ll like, but I also picked up some stuff that’s not what I’d normally consider, but looked pretty and interesting. Warmer colors, browner/oranger/yellower colors. So I’m excited about getting to try that out.
And now I’m going to meet Greg at the Pinhook. Woo woo.
*Let me translate this for those of you who aren’t familiar, since I only just came across it this week myself. “Lemming” is when someone else uses/gushes over a product, and then you want that product. Also, to “read [someone] for filth” is to tell them off (for being nasty, dressing trashy, acting like a dickhead). I don’t really understand the etymology behind “read for filth,” but the phrase amuses me.
