Break time...

Ugggghhhh. I hate filling out job applications. They want to know every Bubba you've ever known! (ok so maybe not everyone you've ever known, but they sure as hell ask a LOT of seemingly-unrelated questions).

I have to finish tweaking my CV for tomorrow and send that off in the mail and I'm still waiting to hear back from the people I interviewed twice with! 

All this waiting business ain't none too fun. 

In the meantime, I've decided to start making jewelry again.  I've always had a passion for jewelry.  I've been making jewelry since I was 12 years old! I really don't know how I learned to do it; I just kind of picked it up and went from there. I really enjoy it. It relaxes me. I think I might make a tutorial on it.  

I'm kind of scared to make makeup videos for youtube because I've seen how cruel with comments people can get and that scares me. But, surely there's nothing wrong with jewelry, right? (i.e. it can't draw as many cruel commentaries?) I mean, I fully expect when people find out where I'm from there will be a flood of "backwards, backwater, dumbass, racist, redneck" type comments, but that's a stereotype, and that's dumb. Most Southerners are not like that at all. But I know people are still going to say it. . . C'est domage, mais c'est la vie. 

I'll edit this post later with whatever I decide to make. ^.^

Alert - 1.98$ Shipping from E.L.F.

Only good for the days! (read 7/16/2009).

Use code EGSHIPT at checkout.

I would suggest either their studio brushes (the black ones), fake eyelashes, or the mineral make up line.

happy shopping

Found it!

Here's a tip that some may not know:

E.L.F. products are available at most cheap-ey like stores.

Here's a list of where and what E.L.F. products  I've found in person:

K-Mart - eye shadows, lip gloss, lip stick, brow tamer

Holliday's - eyeshadows, lip gloss, lip stick, mascara

Fred's - Brushes, eyeshadows, lip gloss, lip stick, mascara

The trend seems to be to carry the essentials of makeup. However, if you luck up, you might find that the store carries E.L.F. brushes (unfortunately, they aren't the black studio label), and they are still just a dollar!

I've ordered from E.L.F. before and it is true that the have bad shipping and it takes for-ev-er.

So, if you're wanting to try their stuff out first, or you like having cheap brushes, give your local dollar store a try. You'd be surprised at what you can find!

So...

Got my hair cut, and I must say, I am a little surprised.

I was ready to give Syd free reign, and after about six or seven years of having the same hair cut, I told him he could do whatever he wanted. When he saw how long my hair was, he said, "Omg, you're hair is so long. I'm kinda liking it. It's very rocker-chick. That natural curl?" And then he started dishing dirt on celebs...it was great!

And he gave me the same hair cut I've had for over six years...only better.

I'm still adjusting. I usually don't wear my hair curly...I like board straight hair, but for the past two days, I've been poofy and curly (but not frizzy thanks to Syd). It's growing on me, but currently the jury is still out. Before and afters to come soon. Also, possibly a little tutorial on spring looks and product reviews: UNDER EYE CREAMS THAT WORK! WOOT!

One of my (acrylic) nails just popped off. :( Speaking of which, my fiance and I are having hard times finding jobs. He says he's going to take up construction. I told him if he does that, I get to go to beauty school. He agreed. But I'm seriously thinking about saving up money for nail tech school. Only 2 months and about 2,000 bucks. Not bad...

UGH! Lost Makeup

Ladies,

If you would spend two hours looking for a particular product, you know that particular piece of makeup is worth it.

I lost my brand new almost-for-free NARS lipgloss...I could kick myself.

What products have you lost that you couldn't live without? Tell me about it!
