Beginners beauty blunder- eyeliner.

Although I am no longer a teenager, I only recently felt really compelled to wear makeup. Being a beginner means I have had many makeup application blunders.

Young or old if you are new to makeup don't despair and be realistic. You will need practice and trial and error to learn how and what best fits your face.

My biggest most recent struggle has been eyeliner. I struggled to make straight lines and to keep the liner close to my lash line. However over the past couple of months I have learned some tricks and have mastered keeping a steady hand.
Quick tips based on what I have learned. Try to take the line in parts from corner to your iris (colored part of eye) then across your iris then from iris to outside corner. Have a light hand, you can always go back over to make it thicker, but it hard to take away. If using pencils which is what I use. Keep them sharp. Just like in grade school. Dull pencils don't write.

Best thing I learned is while your starting out if your lines tend to be jagged don't despair. Get a straight edge eyeliner brush and drag it across the eyeliner before it sets. Take one lid at a time. This will help to blur your jagged edges until you can practice making perfectly straight lines. Plus it makes the eyeliner appear smokey which is super in right now anyways.

Happy practicing.

Chronicles of the creamy crack

So as of a couple of months ago I am trying to grow out my relaxer, which I have been getting relativity consistently for 12/15 years or so. I got maybe 1 inch or so of new growth and I am already going crazy and only wearing my hair pulled back.

I have googled and googled solutions but everything involves so much work. Blow dry, flat iron, roller set, and wrapping are just way too much maintenance for me. I know I know. I am a lazy bum. I did break and relax just the aides of my hair with a drugstore relaxer. I have such nappy sides and this has helped it lay down.

I think I will continue with this technique but switch to a better relaxer. I need to get my hands on a lye relaxer so I don't have to throw away the extra. Rule of thumb- if it needs and activator you probably shouldn't store it. Most Lye relaxers don't need activators so store away ladies and gents.


So as of today I am officially campaigning, it's 2013 shouldn't there be some futuristic pill or something that lets us change our hair at will?
