Rosacia girl does blush!

Well as I mentioned in my previous post I have only really gotten into make up in the past two months since I started watching youtube and learned the tricks necessary to do it right. As that goes I have done quiet a few hauls in order to obtain the things I needed to create my "look" so I decided I am going to start with the most recent purchase(today) and go a little backwards. My camera is on charge so tomorrow I will post the pictures of my pinkish face along with the products.
LETS BEGIN:
As the title of this blog mentions I have rosacia. I have struggled with this issue since my teenage years and have never really been able to come to some sort of a solution. My face is super sensitive and I guess the slightest wind makes it all red. I've always dreamed of achieving the perfect complection but it managed to avait me. Having told you the basics I can't forget to mention that I've always loved the look of bronzer and blush. I always thought that wasn't for me since my face already has that "pink" going for it..so putting blush on would be redundant. That is until I learned the proper way to apply foundation and then discovered I look too emo white(LMAO)I NEED A BRONZER AND BLUSH!!!

So as you can imagine I went on the research spree to find the perfect blush and bronzer. I purchased a NARS "orgazm" blush about a year or so ago and I wasn't happy with it at all. It didn't really show up on my face so I watched a video by a great guru on youtube DRBROOKLYN730 where she talked about a new blush NARS came out with which is "SUPER ORGAZM" now if you look at that blush you will say "WHAT?!? that has tooo much glitter to use for every day!!" BUT if you put the pruduct on your brush, tap off the access ALL the glitter falls off and you are left with this wondeful color for your cheecks(what in my opinion the original "orgazm" was supposed to look like. So I tried it out in sephora and of course bought that. Also the famous "laguna" bronzer was right there so I just HAD to try it out..and I MUST tell you that I was impressed. The color isn't too dark and doesn't look yellowy on the pink tone like mine. Of course bought that too.

So I guess there really IS a solution to all your make up problems. YAY!!


My next post will be all of the great brushes that I've accumulated and that helped a beginner create a flawless face.
Til then

The new hobby

So my very first entry into the blogging world was one related to politics. I think I am going to be done with that on this page since it's more fun to indulge my other hobby. :) I don't quiet think I am ready for the full picture posting as yet but I guess I never thought I would be ready for a blog about this either :)
It's amazing what I've been missing all these years. I've always been fixated on and loved make up. I've bought so much of it over the years(I am only 30 I am not THAT old LOL) that my mothers friends used to come and pick out what they wanted since it would all just lay in my beautiful cosmetic bag. I would buy it, come home, try it and it would never look as I pictured it to be.
The problem has been that I never really knew how to put make up on properly. My mom does not nor has she ever worn make up and I pretty much did not have anyone to learn from while growing up until I by accident stumbled on to youtube, LOL, and it has been history ever since. :) Besides having the very best time watching all the videos I've learned sooo much!!!! I've added a few things to my collection ever since and I couldn't be happier. One example is that I've owned two MAC make up brushes but I didn't really want to spend a lot of money on more because I wasn't really sure what was good and what I would really need. I don't really trust the MAC counter people because their recomendations never really work. I've found videos of this girl Suzy(http://macNC40.blogspot.com) and I couldn't be happier. I watched her video on brushes and went out and bought my own and OMG!! THANK YOU THANK YOU..I've bought brushes that work PERFECTLY for me. I've found some wonderful people on youtube that are super duper umber talented and I love watching their videos but some of their work I couldn't wear to work(accountants don't really wear super bright colors to work). Her videos and Laura's( http://lollipop26writes.blogsot.com) are definitely more wearable for my life and I love them and can't get enough :))). You guys should DEFINITELY check them out.


Well this is good enough for the intro. I shall be posting more and I will be doing my best to try and post pictures of what I try out. This is soooo much fun!!

A new world for me in many aspects

I am sure I am not the first one to write a blog about this but I think all that has been happening in this country lately allows us all a chance to speak out.

I must admit that I am not one of the people that voted for the president elect but I have to say that in the 18 years I've lived here I've never seen an election like this. It made me proud and sad at the same time. Proud because this is what the rest of the world has been envious of all these years. The fact that we can all rise up and make a choice for our country. I think yesterday every single person in this country realized that your vote matters. Everyone realized that in order to see the difference we must make a difference. Yesterday was the stuff great novels about America are made of.

Here is the part that made me very sad. We've just elected a president to the most important office in the world that is already admitting that he would not be able to fulfill the promises he made. In his acceptance speech he already admitted that it will take a lot longer then may be even he has to fix all our problems. It made me very sad that, no matter what anyone says, most African Americans voted for him not based on the fact that he will be a great president but because the fact that an African American will for the first time be in the Oval Office. It made me very sad to see that most that voted for him were not voting based on researching what he stands for but voted for what he might represent. I asked two people in my building complex yesterday why they were voting for Obama. I wanted to hear some good reasons that might make me go and vote for him. What they told me was "well..he is a democrat and he said he will change things" To me that's very sad. Children running to the poles yelling his name, asked why were they voting for him, said. "I dunno...that's what I was told in school is the right thing!"
People is that what we want in our White House?!? I guess it's too late at this point but I am just amazed at how a country that was once a dream to aspire to has become an embarrassment to live in.

Lots of talk was made of his associations with different people and lots of people came to his defense that it doesn't matter. How can we honestly say that and then turn around and tell our children not to hand out with kids that we do not approve of?! We can no longer use the phrase "tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are" because we choose to override that notion. It's amazing to me that when asked why Obama would allow his non citizen aunt donate to the campaign he answered that he was not aware it wasn't allowed. WHAT?! When he was asked how he could have been such good friends with reveron Wright all he could say is that he wasn't aware and that he didn't hear.

PEOPLE ARE WE SURE WE WANT TO ELECT A PRESIDENT THAT DOESN'T KNOW SOOO MANY THINGS?????!!!!!A PRESIDENT THAT CONVENIENTLY chooses to disassociate himself from things once people don't agree with him? I want a president that stands up and answers for his choices and will know what the laws of this country are. We deserve that for a change. (I guess it's too late now) We made our bed.

Some might think that I am being very racist. To those I would like to ask you to read a letter by a very very bright African American man Mr. Thomas Sowell."

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.

I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words 'money' and 'special interests' come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job!

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend 'God Damn America' Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your 'spiritual mentor. BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a 'discouraging word' in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades. Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out on your campaign. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the 'N' word. Yep. And Bill Clinton 'did not inhale'.

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you.

I am deeply sorry, that in a country teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

This leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit loony, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these 'world leaders' to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your nightstand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other dopes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are ticked at him and the conservatives are ticked at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a Jew whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally ticked off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally, John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America. When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was 'nothing special.' Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the 'average American,' and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot on election day for John McCain -- warts and all.'

Since I still plan to live here..for a while at least...I would like to wish us all a good luck..and I TRULLY hope that some good will come out of all this...otherwise we are truly the nation that everyone should make fun of.

Regards everyone until next time
