Saturday Snippet: Mardi Gras

Hello everyone!

So for anyone that doesn't know this yet: I don't like Mardi Gras.

Or Halloween.

I know, I know, many of you are probably gasping and thinking this is the worst blasphemy since forever, but I blame it on my teachers making it obligatory to dress up for Mardi Gras back in grade school, which of course ended in me disliking it immensely.

And my family isn't big on this, either way.

But yesterday, a couple of girlfriends and myself went out to check the scenery, and I sort of compromised with a Venetian-style mask, which didn't really need anything but some regular makeup from me then.

It was a nice outing! But Mardi Gras or Halloween are still a no-go for me.

Saturday Snippet: Lipgloss

Hello everyone!

Okay so, I've said this before and I will say it again.

I'm no make-up person.

It's the truth; I own a total of one mascara and one concealer, both of which have only found their way into my routine recently because I'm naturally pre-disposed to shadows under my eyes, and the mascara was more or less something my friends foisted on me. They say I have long eyelashes and have to show them, or something.

Back to the topic at hand, which are lipglosses!

Because, for some reason, I have a lipgloss addiction. I can barely walk by those cosmetic stands without at least looking at them, and I usually end up taking at least one home or something.

Those are the ones I currently own, as listed below. The first one is actually so old ... but this is where the fact that it's from a high-quality brand comes into play, because it's still perfect as the day I wore it first, which was at prom. I know the silvery one will be perfect through Christmas time, and while I'm not too sure about the matt I'm sort of going to test it and see. And the Cinderella one ... well, I HAD TO. The last one is the recent purchase from Maybeline though because it's the closest I can come to the first, Max Factor Silk Gloss in tone. I just love the first one and I'm hoping I'll see it again soon. No such luck yet!
