I always wished I had
freckles. Both of my sisters have them and somehow I got totally ripped
off. I really have not a hint of freckle. So I decided not to accept my
fate of being “regular skin person” and instead I took matters into my
own hands. My glorious, artistic hands. Vom. Okay, so I may not have
magical hands, but I have learned a few tips and tricks when it comes to
faking freckles. I know some people think I’m a bit weird for drawing
on freckles, but I thing they’re quite sweet looking and I reckon that
anything that warms up my resting bitch face is a good thing.
May favourites man! For all of you guys this is just one of many, many May favourites, but for me this is an exciting, albeit slightly self indulgent, moment. I have watched and read about people’s May favourites for years, so to finally post about my own... well it’s safe to say I’ve already wet myself three times this morning. Annnnd again just now. I’ll dive in right away because I am really good at accidentally making monster posts.
I have been wanting to do a post on cruelty free makeup for a while now and today seemed as good a day as any for it. The intent behind this post is certainly not to preach to anyone about ethics (because Lord knows I’d come down on the side of guilty if that’s what this was about), but simply to provide a point of reference to anyone who wants to use cruelty free makeup.
It’s time to discuss... *pause for dramatic effect*... ZEE FROWLINE! I mean honestly, it’s abrowt time. I find myself so attracted to full, fluffy brows. Yes, even on the lady kinds. I do love a bit’a’ Cara Delevingne and some Lily Collins ‘ere and there. I’ve got fairly thick brows myself, but they’re pretty wonky. There are big chunks missing from the general structure. I don’t do much plucking these days, other than a few stray hairs. I let my brows grow wild and I shape them by filling them in, rather than taking hairs away. I’d say there are three main things to focus on with brows: colour, shape and setting them in place.
I can’t seem to get enough of Sleek. I think they are definitely one of the best drugstore brands out there. Their packaging is simple and appealing and has a Nars-esk feel to it. They offer a lot of things that I think are harder to find in a drugstore brand – great palettes, bright colours, high pigmentation. I won’t go on for now because I want to do a more in depth post on Sleek soon. For today I just wanted to show you guys a few odds and bobs I got recently that I thought you might enjoy.
