I haz a style!

Hair, post-party and with tired eyes.

This is my eighty-millionth attempt at doing smoky eye makeup, and my first since watching this pretty effing awesome tutorial on how to do it. I need to use higher pigment eyeshadow. I might toss a lot of my cheap drugstore colors. I love the way they look in the pot, but the colors are never that vibrant on my skin. You get what you pay for.

I'm super happy with my haircut. This morning was the Experiment in Air-drying on the walk to work and it passed with flying colors. Behold:

My sad little old (cheap) camera wouldn't pick up the texture of my hair without washing out my face so pardon the overexposure and poor Photojob of burning-in of my face. Look at the hair!

Wow, I had a wave of genuine jealously roll through me! You look fan-fucking-tastic!

Aw! Thanks! Don't think for a minute I don't know I'm incredibly fortunate to have this hair again.

You look so stunning!! I love the way your longer hair is laying. Amazing.

Gorgeous!

And some Primer Potion will make even cheaper-pigment eyeshadows really stick and pop. The primer is expensive but much cheaper than a whole new eyeshadow collection.

Also you probably know this but L'Oreal is the best of the drugstore makeups for pigment.

I bought some Shadow Insurance by Too Faced, since I didn't feel like making the drive to KC for MAC. Yes! I have some of L'Oreal's HIP line. Gorgeous colors.

The one I use is Urban Decay, so I get it online since ou nearest Sephora is two hours away.

Where do you order from? I don't know anyone in Lawrence who sells Urban Decay anymore. Which is ridiculous, if you ask me.

Sephora.com usually. It's scary how quickly I can fill my cart enough to get free shipping. That place is crack.

Ha! Good to keep in mind.
