Hello from Southern Cali!!!!

[darkishstar]

I guess I'm a little backwards here, I posted in the Hauls forum first out of excitement. =D (Antiquitease RAWKS.)

Anyways, I'm Elaine and I'm studying at UCLA as a neuroscience major. And I adore MAC and though I'm not that great at makeup, I'm always experimenting, especially with eye make-up! I learned so much from Specktra (I have been a notorious lurker for a long time now.)

Now I just need to learn about foundation because I have horrible skin. =(

And I'm from Los Angeles from the wonderful SoCal! =)
Nice to meet you all!

Hello and

from another SoCal resident (I'm from OC). I have horrible skin too, blemishes the size of Krakatoa

and I just bought MAC Studio Fix in NC40. I'll let you know how that goes

.

Welcome from a Bruin alumna

Welcome to specktra Elaine. I'm a SoCal native too!

Welcome!

 

[darkishstar]

deathsex67: How awesome! I have nothing against USC at all. I blame the brainwashing during orientation.

The running jokes are horrible when you hear the faculty lay them out! But it's all good fun.

mandragora: Yes, please let me know how that goes, I think my problem is I need to actually start wearing foundation and powder.. those kinds of things. Thanks for the welcome! =) (I love the OC btw. I have a really good friend from there.)


meiming: It's such a small world! What year did you graduate if you don't mind me asking? What was your major? =) (It was REALLY cold Halloween night in Westwood.. Santa Monica must've been freezing!)


addicted_2color: Sweet, the In-land Empire! =) Thanks for the welcome.

MsCuppyCakes: Cute screename! =) Yay, so many SoCal people.

n_c: Thank you.

Heya, just I wanted to let you know what I think of Studio Fix (NC40). I love it, I dusted some finishing powder (by Alima) over it and voila! Almost flawless skin (not really, but close enough for me

). I love the coverage and finish. If you want, check out my latest FOTD using Studio Fix over here.

Welcome to Specktra, Elaine!

I graduated 2001 in Psychology but I started out in Psychobio. I dropped that in a hot second the moment I decided not to be premed =P I was still working there at the bottom of campus at the Med Plaza until mid 2005. OMG it was soo cold on Halloween but I had a bit of liquid warmth that night

I was in WeHo and it was insanely crowded!

(Liquid warmth is always good.)
That's cool.. I'm nothing but South Campus too. =) I'm considering changing majors.. but I'm not quite sure yet. I don't know if I want to truck through all those years of med school.

MAC_Whore: Thanks! =)

 

[meiming]

Yup that's sort of what I kinda went through too. I thought it was a lot of work to do if I wasn't on that track. The nice thing about switching is that it freed me up to take other classes I was interested in but it wasn't in my major like language classes and aa studies.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing you around Specktra

Heya! What's crazy is that I almost went to Johns Hopkins University instead! In the location you're currently in. That's pretty wild I say.

I don't think I could ever ever leave SoCal..
