Make-up Mania #1

  Urban Decay NAKED 3

  If you haven't heard about the newest palette from Urban Decay, then where have you been?  Of course, this palette has definitely been a favorite of a lot of beauty gurus and make-up junkies.  The beautiful rosy hues in this palette will give you a very youthful and sexy eye look for any occasion.  I am definitely a fan of rose gold, that's why once I found out about it, I had to have it!  Pinky shadows aren't for everybody, you either LOVE or hate this palette. 
 
  Is it worth the hype?  I think yes!  It's very unique, I haven't seen another palette like it.  So far this year, a lot of other companies in the cosmetic business have been coming out with many rose gold products. They know what's up! I'm all for the rose gold craze.
 
  My most used colors of the palette are, Buzz and Trick.
 
 How I see the shades:

• Strange- Off white, slightly pink, no shimmer.
• Dust- Baby pink, not much color payoff mostly shimmer/glitter, most fallout.
• Burnout- Pinky mauve, fine shimmer, pink/copper sheen.
• Limit- Matte, light pink/mauve.
• Buzz- Fine silver/pink shimmer, purple/pink.
• Trick- Copper, slightly pink, silver/copper shimmer.
• Nooner- Matte, mauve.
• Liar- Sheen, pinky tan/brown, very fine shimmer.
• Factory- Fine copper glitter, brown, sheen.
• Mugshot- Dark pink/brown, sheen/shimmery.
• Darkside- Dark purple/brown, sheen.
• Blackheart- Purple/Black, red/copper/pink glitter.

*What do you think about the Rosy Palette?*

Pregnancy Story - Hiro.

  Sometime in November of 2011, when I took a pregnancy test inside of Pat Catan's bathroom.  Scared to death whether I was pregnant or not.  I didn't mind being pregnant, I was just afraid of what everyone would say.  Kevin and I then left Pat Catan's and went off into a different parking lot and sat there.  I didn't read the directions and thought the faint lines didn't mean anything.  Turns out it did, so I was pregnant!  Kevin cried a little, but happy/scared tears.  He kissed me and said he was going to be a daddy and that he loves me.

   I didn't tell my family, only friends.  I mean, I was with my friends everyday at school.  I needed to tell my best friend, of course.  I always wore baggy clothing, so nobody really noticed.  My mom was bugging me about how I haven't had my period and it's usually irregular.  I was really annoyed, it's my body and she kept bothering me.  Mom made me an appointment to our doctor and in the room my doctor asked me questions.  My Mamaw was in the room and she goes with us to all our appointments.  I was so scared, because I knew I had to say I was pregnant (I was sixteen).  We sat in the doctor's office and she asked me if I took a pregnancy test, I said yea..  Mamaw was shocked and said I never told her that.  I cried and Mamaw cried, then I got an ultrasound and heard the heartbeat for the first time!  I thought I was about 27 weeks, I was actually 25 weeks.  Mamaw said I had to tell my parents that day and I dreaded it all day long.  I was so nervous, it was the worst feeling!
 
  When all of my family members got home, I had to tell them I was pregnant.  My mom smiled and cried, pretty sure she was in shock.  My dad, just sat there and looked pissed off, disappointed.  I felt like shit for the longest time, obviously I was still living with my parents and felt really awkward.  I believe at 27 weeks, I had an appointment to see the gender of the baby.  Welp, that didn't happen because the baby had the umbilical cord covering its private!  We did get pictures, which was nice.  We just looked at those ultrasound pictures, guessing if it was a boy or girl.  Not knowing the gender is so stressful, I just kept thinking about what the baby was, I just wanted to know! 

  I'm not sure when we told the rest of my family I was pregnant but I know it happened.  My cousin, Courtney and Uncle Bob were coming over and I had to tell Courtney.  At first she was like "what?" Then, she kneeled down and looked at my belly and put her hands on it.  She was excited, I didn't expect a lecture or yelling from her anyway.  My dad called and told the rest of the family.  Later in Spring, I went to Baby"R" Us with my Aunt Tara and Courtney to register.  Not knowing the gender, I had to pick a neutral theme.  I wanted ducks or sheep.  My baby shower was in June, I was due July 8th 2012.  In between my baby shower day and due date, I think I was having contractions, I was hurting so bad.  I just remember hurting so badly, I cried and I rolled up in a ball on my bed.  Then, it stopped, dad said it was probably nothing.  Ever since that day, I was leaking fluid.  I took a shower and right after putting my underwear on, it felt like I peed myself. But, I know I didn't. It just felt like water coming out, it wasn't a lot. It was enough that, I had to change my underwear.  This happened a few times and I wasn't sure what to do.  I called my Mamaw around eleven at night and she said she's coming over.  We called the hospital I was going to deliver at and the doctor was mean, I was scared.  I'm not very assertive and of course, had no idea what I was doing.  The doctor said come in and we did.  He checked if the fluid was my water and said it was, so I was going to be induced and have the baby! 
 
  It was around 12:40am June 28th, 2012. I was being induced and I asked for epidural.  I didn't feel much, which was great.  My Mamaw said they stopped inducing me at some point. In the morning, they had to completely break my water.  It was very uncomfortable and I still couldn't have the baby because I had something blocking inside.  I don't know what it was but they made me cough, so it would move.  That felt crappy, everything about labor was crappy and uncomfortable!  I had 3 other epidural pain meds, pretty sure the last shot didn't work.  I felt a lot of the pain, while pushing I kept holding my breath because the pain wasn't as bad.  The doctors and my family kept trying to get me to breathe, I had an oxygen mask on.  I had my son at 7:15pm on June 28th, 2012 on a Thursday! He weighed 7lb 7.5ounces, 20.5 inches long! 

  I was exhausted, they got the placenta out.  I felt being stitched up and when the placenta came out.  I held Hiro and we had visitors! Around 9, we had to move into the Maturity area of the hospital.  I was in a small room, sharing with my mom and boyfriend.  Then, we were moved the next day into this other room with two beds.  We were in the hospital for a couple days and I remember it was super hot outside.

January Beauty Favorites 2014.

Urban Decay NAKED

  My obsession with eyeshadow palettes started in 2012, since then I've gathered a good amount of them from Sephora and Ulta.  This palette was the first palette I ever bought and it has been a favorite of mine this January and It is the (of course and well-known..) Urban Decay's NAKED palette.  I felt really bad that it took me such a long time to appreciate this palette.  I was so happy when I got it and never really used it because I bought the Lorac Pro a week or so later.  I used the brush that came with it and it wouldn't pick up the shadow, which made me irritated. Who wants eyeshadow fallout?? Not me!  But, I've played around with it and realized that, I like using my finger for the shimmery colors (which is almost all of the colors).  I just think it applies beautifully and it's so sparkly and buttery! We've heard it all, NAKED gets five stars always! 
    

 NYX "Peach" blush

  One thing I really like about going to Ulta is their deals!  Plus, they are one of the only stores (now sold at Target) that have the NYX products. If you haven't tried or heard of NYX, where have you been???  But seriously, NYX is one of the best "drug store priced" products, they really are great. Very affordable and great quality, what else can you ask for?  They are wonderful! The product that I've fallin' in love with this month is the blush in "Peach" (PB06).  What I love about this blush is that it is easy to apply and it gives me a flushed look, like I went outside in this Ohio weather for 5 minutes and BAM! Cheeks are cute and pink. For fair skin girls, I'd say it would look so good on you. I'm a olive/tan, it shows up on my cheeks, but if I was any darker, I don't think it would show.

Creaseless Cream Shadow "Birthday Suit"

  Did you know that Benefit Cosmetics are one of my all time favorites?  I just love the packaging, an eye-catcher that's for sure.  I adore all their products and I have a couple of these "Creaseless Cream Shadow," the one I've been reaching out for is "Birthday Suit". For me and my complexion, I totally get why it's called Birthday Suit, it's basically my skin color but with shimmer.  I usually use it on lazy days or as a base for other shadows.  It is such an easy product to use and they have a good selection of colors.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion "Eden"

  Again with the Urban Decay Products!  In my Naked 3 palette, you receive 4 samples of eye primer.  Wish they just gave a mini size like the NAKED palette.  Anyway, the one primer I liked using was "Eden".  Eden is not shimmery and it's kind of like an concealer for your eyes.  Doesn't mean you should use it as a concealer.  I'm just saying that it is a skin-colored primer.  Highly pigmented and a little goes a long way, so be careful.  Overall my favorite eye primer!
 
                         LUSH "Honey Trap" lip balm

  Last but not least, Lush's Honey Trap.  When I first got the product, I wasn't getting any product out!  No matter how hard I rubbed the lip balm.  I started to rub the top layer of the tinned lip balm and finally, I was able to use it.  The smell and taste of it, made me happy.  I hate the petroleum jelly tasting chapsticks.. I would usually put it on at night and in the morning my lips were pretty much healed.  It may not seem like a good chapstick to you, but to me it is awesome!  My lips are dry all year round, so if a chapstick can make them less chapped within the time, I am asleep, I'll take it!

Myspace Past.

Not sure what I'm doing. 8th/9th grade.

  Today, I figured out my email and password on my old Myspace.  Everyone is curious as to what their Myspace looks like, it's like a website with our past identities. What we used to be, before high school or the first year of it.  It is so crazy, how much I changed, how everyone changed.  Myspace was left behind because of Facebook and Twitter. Myspace has our top ten to one-hundred best friends. Who are friends were back then, when we left Myspace in 8th grade.
 


Freshman

  Without Myspace, I could not see all my old pictures of having a good time with my best friends. But, it was also one of the worst years of my life.  Myspace was a sad reminder of who backstabbed me and who was there for me. People blackmailed me and harassed me. I could not forget all of those memories. Myspace was the last resort I have to remembering everything in Middle school and Freshmen year. People say, forgive and forget. But not me, I'd like to know who and when did people kill my happiness and why they did.  I hold grudges, which isn't very healthy, I don't care though. As long as I remember who I am and what made me the way I am today, I'm okay with holding on to the past of disappointment and depression. 

  I love my life today, but I also miss the life I had before it all.  I don't miss the pain and I don't miss the bullshit.  But, without it I wouldn't be where I am today! I have a family and I live on my own, I'm only eighteen!  I think it's an accomplishment, not being a teen mom at seventeen... But, I don't care what people think of it.  My life is pretty much "perfect," I'm only sad because I had friends and most of them are gone now.  What even happened? We grew-up, we grew apart. College, jobs, or creating a family, that's what changed us. 
 


Me today.

   What else did Myspace remind me?  How I used to look and how I dressed.  I was in the stage of trying to find who I was.  You all know what I am talking about, Hollister to Hot topic to Claire's cheap neon colored jewelry.  I always had body insecurities, I had a muffin top, bad acne, huge thighs and a BIG butt.  I always felt like my body was not portioned right. Always drove me crazy, I tried the lemonade diet three times and diet type pills, before I was seventeen.  What made me so insecure with myself was my parents.  They made me hate myself all the time.  I look back and I don't see a problem with my body, I would die to have that body back.  Back then, I thought I was fat and now I am fat.  Why does being a mother have to take such a big toll on the body.  Don't we deserve it after the nine months of carrying another human-being.

  Since I was pregnant with my son, I wore my boyfriends clothes everyday with sweat pants.  I was a Junior trying to hide my pregnancy from my classmates.  I was a nobody to begin with so nobody really cared.  Anyway, I still wear my boyfriend's clothes.  It is like a security blanket for me, I'm not comfortable wearing my own clothes because most of them don't fit anymore.  I am a lot bigger, than before I had Hiro and I hate shopping for myself.
