Life: The Beautiful Struggle Part Deux

This is only my second post for the month of May. Second. Segundo. Deuxieme. I don't know when life got so hard but I'm actually legit over it.  Over it.  I was supposed to be down 20 lbs by now.  Ask me how much I'm down, ask me.  Just send me positive vibes so that I can in fact get down to my ideal weight before August.  Life remains resolute in being an obstinate pain in my ass. However, June 1 is when I'm going to turn it around, hopefully, maybe, possibly.  So the next post, God willing will be, Life: the Awesome, Phantasmagorical Adventure.  

On the eyes:  Make Up For Ever ME 304 (Emerald) on the lid; ColourPop Central Perk in the outer corner; and NYX Roll-On Eye Shimmer in Sea Foam to add some sparkle.  For lips I have on  Milani Matte Glam lined with MAC Currant Lip Pencil

Life: The Beautiful Struggle

Hey guys, you know how life comes at you fast? And then proceeds to beat you within an inch of your life only to pee on you and then walk away? That's what my life has been in the last few weeks, which is why I haven't been able to blog.  Don't get me messed up now, I've been wearing makeup and taking photos, I just haven't been able to put pen to paper and document it all. You know how when you wake up you hope it's Saturday but you know it's only Tuesday? That's how I've felt everyday these last two weeks. Life, a series of missed opportunities, happy accidents, minor disappointments, and Game of Thrones can be so fraught with responsibilities that we rarely have time to enjoy it.  As a young person pseudo-killing the game out here, I encourage you to take the time to soak in the 70 degree weather today.

Faux locs on deck! Broke out the Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Exorcism and paired it with MAKE UP FOR EVER ME-728 (Copper Red) and Kiko Milano Eyeshadow 102 (Dark Pearly Gold) on the lid, Kiko Milano Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadow 37 (Burgundy)  in the crease and MAKE UP FOR EVER M-846 (Morello Cherry)  in the outer corner

Who's messing with Reese? Not me! Be careful, she's got on MAC Matte Lipstick in Sin

If you need life here it is. Robyn came in with Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick in Kiss of Fire and It's Cherry Gel Lip Liner from SEPHORA

Vic is easy breezy in ColourPop Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick in Panda (no relation to Desiigner)

I'm jealous of anyone who can pull off a blue effortlessly. S/O to Yulonda in Blue Velvet from Jeffree Star Cosmetics
