Click on images to view in full size :)

Did a bit of tweaking while waiting for something to do. oh boredom.





Blue and Black :D

Lashes I got from evilbay. 6 pairs for $4 I think. Dont really remember. Had to do that odd angle to show how insanely long they are haha.

What I used:
M.A.C. Paint pot in Delft
M.A.C. e/s in
Clarity (Lid)
Deep Truth (Crease)
Prussian (Outer V/Corner)
Club (Crease, Outer Corner)
Carbon (Outer Corner)
Vibrant Future (inner Corner)
Vanilla (brow area)
Femmie-Fi (just below the brows for highlight)
and a few of the blue e/s from the shimmer palette from Coastal Scents.

Dont worry you wont need as much to get the same look, lol. I think I use too many e/s. I promise i'll use just 3 or maybe 4 or 5? (haha) the next time. This started out looking summery. mixed blue and yellow to get a green shade in between but I got bored with it haha sooo thats what came out.


Bought a new book the other day and finished it in one sitting. I found it funny in a sick twisted way haha. Its not that horrid but it may not be funny to some.

Fun read! :)





Preparing to review for NCLEX: A bunch of stuff. I love school supplies haha. I am quite obsessive with notes and usually focus better when I have the right pen and the right kind of paper. Look! I have a pencil case! haha I have too many pens and pencils I have a whole box full of writing stuff.

Dirty Mirror, Uneven skin tone haha. I hate that I rarely see the sun because of the gloomy weather (aside from the fact that I normally wake up late afternoon). I have to go about 2 shades darker with fdtn instead of my regular shade to make my face match with my arms. Lets not even go the legs haha. I need sun! oh well. Self tanning soon :)

Lippies

I have not bought makeup since I came home and I got used to buying at least one thing every week lol. Not that I need to, but a few of you get me. Its an endless urge to have everything lol

You think you know..

Currently: "Doublethinking"

The labyrinth world of doublethink:

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying to claim to it......to forget what it is necessary to forget then draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly forget it again, and above all apply the same process to the process itself - that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unsconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word of "doublethink" involved the use of doublethink."


A sort of descrition of how my mind works. Lifted from the book 1984 by Orwell. It is mind blowing to ponder on it and I think I just spent the last 30 minutes doing just that. I am applying it to a predicament I am facing haha.

This is the best explanation I have to why you think I am what I am. I doublethink to believe what I need to believe for whatever reason - to get through the day, to lessen anxiety, to avoid conflict, to be normal, to not hurt someone". Meanwhile holding whatever I believe is true in my subconscious only to bring it out when flashes of a mental picture of the word "ALARM" is going off in my head. All my thoughts momentarily freeze as the mental picture becomes clearer and clearer until it fades away in less than a second. Yeah, reeking a little bit of insanity huh? Another vague post to get something off my chest. Yeah, i'm not dense.


BRAIN DAMAGE: I dont know how I can read a book and think I havent read it until reading the last few words. :/

Juicy

Reading: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Feeling: Lazy
Wondering: What sort of trouble she'd get into in the 1800's
Says:

In the Clearest Night,
I see
A reflection that is far from she
In her essence another
breath, a soul!
Reminders of a life bestowed.

Abandoned dreams, she lives! she breathes!
Til the moment she conceives
Righteous, not! we all must go
Abstracted paths, altered lives.

A heaped reverie
We've all been had!

Can you imagine If thats how I talked or how everyone talked all the time? lol We'd all be scratching our heads. Of course I know what I meant by it, what do YOU think it means? haha. Its a pretty nice way of expressing yourself without being overly obvious though :)




Scarlet Letter

America’s first psychological novel, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter is a dark tale of love, crime, and revenge set in colonial New England. It revolves around a single, forbidden act of passion that forever alters the lives of three members of a small Puritan community: Hester Prynne, an ardent and fierce woman who bears the punishment of her sin in humble silence; the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, a respected public figure who is inwardly tormented by long-hidden guilt; and the malevolent Roger Chillingworth, Hester’s husband—a man who seethes with an Ahab-like lust for vengeance.

The landscape of this classic novel is uniquely American, but the themes it explores are universal—the nature of sin, guilt, and penitence, the clash between our private and public selves, and the spiritual and psychological cost of living outside society. Constructed with the elegance of a Greek tragedy, The Scarlet Letter brilliantly illuminates the truth that lies deep within the human heart.
