This is the longest week ever. I swear it seems to be dragging on and on and on. I hate when time plays tricks on you. Like my youth. It seemed to last forever when I was in the moment but now that I'm older and am noticing lines on my face and a lower metabolism I realize how quickly my youth has passed me by. If I could give advice to the younger me I would tell me. "Wear sunscreen every day. Buy all the limited edition Guerlain meteorites and store them away for 10-15 years and sell them on ebay. Exercise every day so when you are 10 years older it won't be a chore, it will be a habit. And lastly. Do not sweat the small stuff. Seriously. There are worse thing in life to get upset over than a dented car or annoying co-worker." What I really need is a time machine. It would be awesome. I'd buy IBM stock in 1930 something and store it away, then sell it later. I'd get in with Bill Gates and own a piece of Microsoft. And I would still marry Mr. Sith all over again. OK. Before I get to gushy...on to the poll!
1) Blush Of The Day? - Chanel Joues Contraste in Caprice. I lovely neutral pink. It's sheer but buildable. I wish Chanel would come out with more pink blushes in the JC formula.
2) How many blushes do you own and how many do you use on a regular basis? - I think I own about 22 and I use about 10 on a regular basis. I'm in the process of "purging" my blush stash so I can simplify.
3) What is the last thing you ate? - Home made chicken pot pie Yumm. It's super fast & easy to make and tastes even better the next day.
4) What Foundation are you using? Do you like it or hate it? What foundation do you want to try? - I'm wearing Vincent Longo Liquid Canvas Healthy Fluid Foundation. I like it very much but sometimes it is not matte enough for me. I would like to try La Mer foundation but I'm afraid I will love it and it will be a slippery slope into debt and the La Mer abyss if I ever do.
5) If you could go back in time to visit your "past" self for 30 seconds, what would your future self tell your past self? - I listed my stuff above but I would also warn past self about 9/11 to see if she/I could warn others...not that it made a difference since there were warnings anyway (ahem. sorry for the political aside) and I'd tell her/me to get married a week before 9/11 rather than the week of; since that basically screwed up the day....to say the least.
AW, what a rough week to be married- I feel for you. I can't even imagine what that was like.
ReplyDeleteHey, you got Mr. Sith out of it though!
1) Blush Of The Day? BB Summer Pink Rouge Pot with MAC Blushbaby on top.
ReplyDelete2) How many blushes do you own and how many do you use on a regular basis? A lot. I dunno how many I have but I also rotate about the same 8-10 blushes. I can't let the others go.
3) What is the last thing you ate? Two pieces of Arnold Double Protein toast with my own truffle olive oil spread (1/2 truffle-infused olive oil, 1/2 olive oil, mix and freeze until it's set,then refrigerate. Spread on things like buttah.
4) What Foundation are you using? Do you like it or hate it? What foundation do you want to try? GA FF - I love it. It's my ideal foundation because you can't tell I'm wearing anything but it covers my pores. I can't say there's any other foundation I'd like to try...maybe something really high-end like Chante or SK-II just so I can know in my heart that there's nothing better for me out there.
5) If you could go back in time to visit your "past" self for 30 seconds, what would your future self tell your past self? Don't waste so much time with relationships that didn't work. Focus on yourself. Go to culinary school instead of grad school.
1) Blush Of The Day? Despite of my huge collection I did not wear any makeup today (tropical temperatures and nothing important to do or visit only grocery shopping)
ReplyDelete2) Ohh, I own over 50 blushes...ooops, I love those suckers too much. I use about 7 on a regular base. I swapped or sold a couple of them which were not flattering, so I ended up with 50 (semi) flattering blushes..
3) What is the last thing you ate? I just munched on a slice of Indonesian cake; low in fat but high in delicious flavour...
4) What Foundation are you using? I rotate between RMK ex powder foundation, Illamasqua powder foundation in 210 and a sample of Lunasol oc20
5) Good one. I love this question. I would tell my younger self to stay with my dad and watch him closely, so I could monitor him when he had his stroke. Mum had enough friends to take care of her (and I did not like the country she moved back to). I would tell her to use sunscreen, enjoy her body for the few years to come (before psoriasis would hit me) and to ignore so-called friends directly. Oh, and go out to study english literature, instead of 10 years later...
1)BOTD- it will be MAC Dollymix
ReplyDelete2)I own About 8 or 9, and about 4 are in my normal rotation.
3)I use MUFE F&B and sometimes Revlon Colorstay (just to ration my MUFE one). I love it because it feels like a 2nd skin, and looks as natural as a foundation can be.
4)I'd love to tell my past self to relax and not take every little thing so personally. Ignore those who have any problems with me, and to drop the tough girl attitude. Its not cute.
I'd also tell my 10 yr old self to start taking care of that acne now, before I'm left with major scars for a good portion of my youth.
phew... :)
oops, forgot to answer the poll -since i commented i might as well.
ReplyDelete1- Honestly, NYC bronzer. Yup, I'm cheap like that. It works really well for me.
2- I keep my MU pretty much down to my essentials plus some sparklies for going out, so i only have three blushes at the moment but i've hit pan on all of them and want to get a nice rosy one for fall. recs?
3- er, Moroccan stew over couscous for lunch, followed up by M&Ms. :)
4- i use L'Oreal True Match liquid and it's my HG. the texture is perfect, the coverage is flexible and natural, and i can easily find or blend my shade to match exactly. (i add a liquid bronzer for summer.) i'd like to play with GA FF sometime, but realistically it probably won't happen.
5- Oh, hmm. Er, I'd tell myself to tell that boy I had a crush on for 6 years how I felt so I wouldn't wonder so much afterward; I'd tell myself to step it up in physics and keep my freshman scholarships; and I'd pick up that Classical Studies minor and then take some culinary courses post-college so i could open my own chocolaterie.
1) Blush Of The Day? - None,
ReplyDelete2) How many blushes do you own and how many do you use on a regular basis? - I have no clue - maybe 10? But I haven't used anything much in the last few months other than my Body Shop Moroccan Rose Blush in Fuchsia.
3) What is the last thing you ate? - My mom is over at my house and she made be some chicken alfredo for work lunches - aren't moms great?
4) What Foundation are you using? Do you like it or hate it? What foundation do you want to try? - I have been using Korres but I want something else as, as good as it is I want something that is absolutely smashing. Maybe Guerlain but I need to wait to try anything else out for awhile.
5) If you could go back in time to visit your "past" self for 30 seconds, what would your future self tell your past self? - Yikes - so many things. I'd go back and tell myself to lighten up, take a up the Govt. Intership on International Trade instead of being in debt for GINORMOUS student loan for a degree I have never utilised, visit my Grandmother more and tell my dad to take care his health so he wouldn't have to have gone through a quadruple by-pass - I can go on and on. But hindsight is always 20/20 and I suspect I wouldn't have taken my own advice because my old self would still be young and foolish.
1. BOTD ~ I did 3 FOTD's LOL. MAC Blushbaby, jane Blushing Blossom, BB cream blush (dont remember the name)
ReplyDelete2. I have probably over 2 dozen and use 10 of them on a reg basis.
3. Swanson's Turkey pot pie LOL.
4. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Rev ColourStay fndt but I tried the Maybelline Matte Mousse fndt today and WOW. IT was really nice.
5. HMM! Well, I would tell my little self that what my stepfather was doing to me was WRONG and tell my mom right away.
(btw ~ no feeling sorry for me OK? I love ME!! Just the way I am.)
1) Blush Of The Day? - Milani Luminous blush, the new one. Not the old one. It's ok, shows up nicely on me.
ReplyDelete2) How many blushes do you own and how many do you use on a regular basis? - I own 70+ blushes and highlighters. I use a different one every day.
3) What is the last thing you ate? - Bread and butter lmao!
4) What Foundation are you using? Do you like it or hate it? What foundation do you want to try? - YSL Matt Touch. Hate it. Want to use up all my foundations so I can try to find a new powder foundation. I've decided I need to go back to my roots! I still love powder foundation the best =)
5) If you could go back in time to visit your "past" self for 30 seconds, what would your future self tell your past self? - Wow, oh wow...nothing. Sorry. Absolutely nothing. I'm being a party pooper, but I wouldn't want to change anything about my life so I wouldn't want to say a word. If anything I'd only be reassuring and not give advice or warnings. Ok, so maybe I'd say to my 17 yr old self: "He's the one who's never going to stop caring, so don't worry." Only because hearing that would have saved me a lot of heartache...
