Make-up Fun

I know, I haven't blogged in forever. It was the end of the term, I had lots of work to do and I thought I was going to fail my one class (literally, it was a possibility).  Last week was finals week and I was in a complete study mode i.e., yoga pants, big t-shirt, no shoes, study hair, books scattered around my room, don't even bother trying to talk to me. Alas, I finished my finals and I'm actually really proud of my grades this term; I did very well.  Spring break has been relaxing, but yet I have been running endless errands and cleaning like a mad woman. Now on to the actually topic.

When I was little and would spend time at my grandparents I used to play “dress-up” with my sister, cousins, and my Grandmom.  For some unknown reason to me my Grandmom used to make us put Vaseline on our entire face before we put on make-up.  She always said it made it easier to take off, which I’m sure it did, but I can’t imagine why she would have had us do this.  She never would have done that to herself and we must have looked like shiny, sticky, and ridiculous balls of make-up.  I tried to find a picture, but I failed in that endeavor so use your imagination.

I think that’s where my love of make-up started; it was always so fun playing with it all.  And my love has just been re-sparked by Rachel, who I went to middle and high school with.  We weren’t super good friends by any means, but we were involved in similar stuff in school.  About a month or so ago she put up a make-up tutorial video she did on facebook.  I then came to discover that she has this channel on youtube where she does tutorials and hilarious other videos.  She is so right too when she says people always notice her for her eyeliner.  In high school I always noticed that she could do a fantastic wing.  The girl’s hilarious, honest, and has killer make-up skills. So naturally, I’ve watched like all her videos and I have since become re-obsessed with make-up. I already have a list of things she has mentioned that I want to buy. Too bad my co-op’s unpaid. Womp womp..

Seeing as I wanted to try everything she was doing, I went through all my make-up and realized I own a ton.  I’m sure some of my friends (ahem: Ali and Amanda) could rival my collection, but I still have a fair amount.  My mom is also a big fan of using good quality make-up, so most of my make-up is high end.  Especially since, there is almost no reason to buy good make-up unless they have a gift.  Spend like $30 and get about $50 worth of make-up free. See? Why would you just spend the $30? Thus, I own a ton of Clinique and Lancôme products. So I am now going to start going through my make-up and reviewing stuff.  I was going to just do that in this post but it got wayyyyy too long. I know that probably none of you care about my opinion on make-up, but I had fun doing it so I don't care. Read my posts if you want to, or not.  First one should be up soon.

{Some of my collection. And I have no money right so I'm not buying more make-up? Well, I just ordered some Urban Decay. Woops. Now I really have to restrain myself.}
