I don’t watch a ton of television, but I’ve been in the hospital for the past six hours.
–
House: You’re turning white.
Mother of patient: What does that mean?
House: It means he doesn’t need football to get a good job anymore.
–
Liz: Oh! Is that where the word ’sad’ comes from?
Jack: What? You think ’sad’ is an acronym invented by psychologists?
Liz: I’ve been stuck at home playing online boggle…it’s messing with my head! Star, rats, arts, tars.
…
Liz: Ah, this is my stop. Stop, pots, tops, opts, post!
–
Jules: I know we’re divorced, but we still have to do all of our parenting together. We’re a team!
Bobby: All right. But I get to pick the team mascot. COLESLAW! I’m going to try that again…
Jules: You’re still stuck on coleslaw.
Bobby: Won’t get out of my head.
The LIL is in Boston for the next ten days or so. If you want to come CHILLAX, hollerrr

“That it’s almost your BIRTHDAY?!” – Me
“Oh…I was going to say, time to pay rent.” – Him

“Hah! They said I was thirty!” – Him, looking at a hospital record
“You are thirty.” – Me
“What? Oh…oh yeah.” – Him
“How old did you think you were?” – Me
“I don’t know…thirty-one?” – Him

“Why are you doing this to me? It’s like showing drugs to a…drug-alcohol-person.” – Him
“A drug-alcohol-person.” – Me
“Junkie. Junkie was the word I was looking for.” – Him

I was working the Stumble Upon Firefox toolbar today…because, you know, that’s what I do with my weekends (SRSLY, it is), when I happened upon this page, which shows a girl using make-up to go from “uhhhh” to “cute.” I love those things, especially since it’s never JUST the power of make-up–it’s also the power of facial expressions, angles, lighting, and hairstyles.
Girlfriend needs to work on those eyebrows. SRSLY.
It will probably not surprise you to know that I was never huge on make-up. I didn’t start wearing it on the regular until I was a freshman in college. I can’t transform myself (for better or for worse) the way some girls I know can. And while I definitely give those girls some serious credit (I do kind of wish I was capable of such 5K177z), I can at least rest assured that no one is ever going to freak out if they see me without make-up. Which is good, considering I’m a swimmer.
One girl I know bought special waterproof eyeliner, just so she can go swimming in it. SRSLY intense, I tells ya.
A make-up-less LIL. I included two pictures, because I hate when you can't tell if the person looks better at the end, or if they're just smiling. So the second is the most flattering non-make-up photo I could take in five minutes.
It should be noted that I have been doing my make-up the exact same way since I was about 11. None of the women in my family (mother, grandmother, aunts) wear any make-up (I think my mom wore mascara once), so I was kind of on my own in that department. I walked into a drug store and picked up some Cover Girl eyeshadow in black…and that was that. I’ve since been to make-up counters where people have sold me various colors of eyeshadow, from light pink to dark green, and I still just wear black every single time. I’m cool. I used to think I was cool, anyway, and now I’m just lazy. But I do have five or six different “shades” of black, so at least I’m branching out.
OMG WHERE DID THE LIL GO?! Oh, there she is. Whew. Blew me away with that stellar application of make-up, she did.
I KNO RIGHT THOSE ARE SOME SRS 5K177Z!!!!!!!111111one1
Yeah, I don’t look that different.
To create this (totally boring look that makes me look basically not at all different), I used the following products:
- bareMinerals Foundation in Golden Medium (I use foundation because it makes me feel better, though I cannot notice any difference at all in the way my skin looks)
- Estee Lauder Soft Matte Bronzer in Bronze Goddess (Swept along the bottoms of my cheeks to make my cheeks look a little less…round)
- Tarte Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride (I got it for free)
- Lancome Color Design Eyeshadow in Honeymoon (Base…keeps my dark shadows from creasing)
- Lancome Color Design Eyeshadow in Click (Covers the whole eye)
- Nars Eyeshadow in Night Clubbing (I also have: Nars in Night Breed, Nars in Night Porter, Urban Decay in Oil Slick, and Urban Decay in Zero)
- Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow in Sugar Cube (I LOVE Estee Lauder Eyeshadows for muted colors–I only tried Lancome because they were like $5 cheaper)
- Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Onyx (Why yes, I’ve been using this since I was 11. Not the exact same pencil, you dolt.)
- Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Blackest Black (I keep trying other mascaras and ultimately coming back to Maybelline…can’t beat the price or the awesomeness)
- Too Faced Lip Injection Plumping Gloss (I don’t think it really works…I just like the way it makes my lips feel all tingly)
- Dior Kiss Lip Gloss in Praline (THIS IS THE BEST PLUMPING GLOSS OUT THERE. But it doesn’t make my lips feel all tingly)
WOW AREN”T YOU GLAD YOU READ THAT ENTIRE LIST?! This is the part where I would do a make-up tutorial, but I don’t really know how to apply make-up. I’ll leave that to the professionals.
