done and done

so my very small portfolio and my resume w/ coverletter has been handed in to MAC at the freestanding location at WEM. I really ask God to bless that and make it happen. *Every*one knows that has ever talked to me, how much i love cosmetics and MAC is the way to go to go further....

that said....a cosmetic recommendation for today...mmmm....how about on the mac note....i really like mac jellees....SO sparkly, so much product, somewhat sticky and the core color line isn't fabulous...but they are GREAT with limited edition releases. Unfortunately with limited edition releases, the gelees that have been released have been somewhat redundant in terms of color. The january release from mac had 2-3 gelees and they were of the nude variety, and they were fairly similar to the gelee released with the villains collection; and again with the fashion flower collection released in may, some some redundancy as well to this same-ish color. please understand though, that there is a slight difference in color, but not enough to warrant purchase of the three gelees because really, they will all show the same on the lips.... I think mac ought to do a collection on lipgelees only. how AWESOME would that be??!?!?!?!?!? The end of the world awesome!!

Adele

I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

When laying with you I could stay there
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you's play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/set-fire-to-the-rain-lyrics-adele.html ]

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time

Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you

I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

one of *those* days

ever have one of *those* days? it could be pms but it definitely isn't....the cranky core of dark grump that ensues is from the intense feelings of inadequacy that ripple out from the core of one's being...yea, one of *those* days.
feeling like a burden and not an asset is a horrible, gut wrenching feeling. it is such a visceral feeling that tums won't quell the tumultuous turning deep in being...the rising nauseous feeling...if one felt like this on a daily basis, i can see the light in the rescuing arms of a crack-ed out savior (that isn't a reference to faith either).

Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

a revist

 oh lovely lovely CK.....indeed, is too late to call you on the phone...A revisit to CK because of an old thought of an old friend that wasn't ever really...which reminds me of OLP's line, í confess talking is just masterbating without the mess... Besides that soured memory, its been lovely to embrace the music and the emotion i attached to the songs and sounds from a previous chapter.


is too late to call you on the phone./too late to tell you im alone/i wanna wake you from another lonely night...

:)

hmm...makeup review....maybelline has released a new line of quints that compliments the eye color studio line, called eyestudio color explosion luminizing eyeshadow. coincidentally, i have forest fury, which is featured on the website. this product is AWESOME! it is similar in concept to lancome's quints but better.
i have forest fury and applied to one eye with primer and one eye without. i was pleased that both eye applications resulted in smooth, intense and vibrant color. the primer did however, serve to keep the color in place and avoid creasing. that said, for an oilier lid, these are still great shadows and i did observe some creasing after about 7 hours of wear, which isn't too bad and that was without the primer; with primer, there was no creasing! This eyeshadow is NOT limited edition, which is nice, so one can wait patiently (hopefully!) for these to go on sale; the price point isn't bad to begin with, but if one wants to indulge in more than one palette, its  easier to indulge when they are more affordable.
these luminizing shadows also feature a glittery top coat kind of shade as well, which blends nicely, and of course is deliciously glittery! It is a real treat that is often not encountered in mass brand eyeshadow palettes (if ever).

seriously! LOOK AT IT! GORGEOUS I SAY!

i shall finish this post by referring to the fact that i am listening to 'surrounded'.....and indeed (which is apparently a favorite word), i am surrounded....
