[underablanketofstars]

Ugh, truck broke down today and I'm told I need a new radiator. 3 weeks before Vegas and I have to take a huge chunk from my vacation fund to fix my damn vehicle so I can continue to have a job. LAME!!!!!!!! Angry at the universe today, though I'm sure it's just trying to teach me something. I hate that!!!

That sucks, sorry. Things like car repairs and broken washing machines (full of wet towels) always seem to happen that way. Hope you still have a fabulous time on your trip.

After you get back you might want to think about opening a Fuck You Universe account. This kind of crap can be counted on to happen only too frequently. If you can manage to put aside even a few hundred bucks over time, it helps to ease the sting a bit.

Hope the rad's not too expensive.

Oh no! I'm sorry this happened to you. Hopefully they repair isn't too costly.

I wore a nude lippie today and felt dead .. I had to change it.

I wore some MAC Honeylove and it looked ok, but the rest of my face looked blah.. I changed and put on Chanel Fougy.. and it's like night and day.

eyes.. Lorac Palette.. don't know the names but it was soft and a bit burgundy beigey..

life is hard with dark hair

Tell me about it. I Want to Go back to blonde. It's been a hard hard day and a hard hard week so far. I'm going to need some serious VINO very soon. I deserve a medal for going through today without stabbing anyone with my pen.

oh I hear you.. I just finished most of my packing. Which isn't much because I have clothes over there.. lol. Mostly my mu items and personal/business stuff. Rough day -- Mom does not want to leave her "Pete" .. his real name.. lol... and I can't leave her home alone. So she travels part way with me, gets dropped off to stay at her cousin's and then I continue the day after. It's exhausting.

Vino it is..

enjoy and don't stab anybody.. lol

Blondes have an easier life.. not.

hang on, hang tough.. and plod.

 

[PeachTwist]

No no no no no.

You're doing it wrong.

We CAN rock dark hair & awesome make-up. I've done it countless times. Black hair, mulit-coloured hair, brown, blonde, ash-blonde, and I'm currently a red colour.

Or perhaps we can't and I just look like an idiot and don't care. Either way, don't hate your hair straight away - major change with hair takes a lot of getting used to, it can/will work for you.

Now I sound like a preacher. Shutting up!

lol yes.. he is a Pedro.. lmao.

cute lil guy tho..

 

[PeachTwist]

Thanks. Thankfully, we can afford to pay the balance. I'm only wanting 1 or 2 things from AA and after seeing swatches of past SS's, probably just the 3 or 4 shadows I don't currently own from MB so I should be relatively safe.


Yeah. I know it's a bad justification, I felt bad even saying it but I guess I was just trying to convince myself it's okay when I know it isn't. I never spend like this. I never have. I usually always pay for everything on debit instead of credit. I think what happened was I'd spent so much time with this list in my head of everything I wanted to try and then when he (very stupidly) set me loose with his credit card I went overboard because I wanted to try everything on my damn list. Included in that was over £100 on damn MAC palettes to depot all my shadows - learned my lesson in depotting all at once, I should've started a long time ago doing a bit at a time.

I have a Sephora order coming in today and I'm waiting on a CP for a couple of drugstore foundations from the US that I can't find here and that's it. On the plus side, I did do my first swap this week. I found the problem is when it comes to swapping though, there isn't actually much I WANT to get rid of. I love all of my stuff, or I've given it away if I haven't. About a year ago I went through my collection and got rid of a ton of drugstore things I just never use and passed them onto a family friend's 15yr old. She had a ball of a time. 88 palettes, sleek palettes, nail polish, lipsticks galore, etc.

I guess my plan needs to be no more than say.. 6 items from each collection max and necessities, unless very unique to my collection.
Don't feel bad one bit doll. I just empathized with what you were saying and wanted to give you some "big sisterly" advice. We've all been there. And we've all found justifications for splurging. I just try to be more aware of it now. You'll get there... you're young and have lots of time to figure out these things! xoxo

Thanks, darlin'. You always manage to cheer me up with your sweetness and kindness towards me, you're a fantastic friend! xoxo

My natural hair is dirty blonde. I swear, since I have started dying it dark brown/black/whatever, it's dark, I tend to feel more confident in makeup that I didn't when my hair was blonde. Could just be that I am more confident with dark hair, so I"m more confident in everything else, I don't know. I've been considering going back to my original hair color (partially because I'd like to cosplay as fem-Kirk ) but then I reconsider and realize how much better I feel dark haired.
