like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind

[aliceylain]

I have, strangely enough, been feeling like doing comics lately. So, I've been doing comics lately! And yes, I really do have blush that old, chapstick that old, and a tiny nub of eyeliner that I've had since the beginning of time. This probably says more about me than I'd like it to.

That said, it's a little misleading because I haven't worn make-up consistently through-out my life. There have been times when I went years without wearing make-up unless it was for a fancy occasion. For a long time, I've actively hated make-up because I didn't know how to put it on correctly and I hated that I felt like I had to wear something that I didn't know how to do. Now, I wear make-up almost every day because I feel more confident with it on and I like the way it makes me look. I still don't think I put it on correctly but I did get some fool-proof eyeshadow that makes my eyes look dramatic despite my floundering.

There is no much to report on except that our Technical Lead is going to be out of the office for the next six weeks due to surgery. This is BAD NEWS because he knows everything and always has an answer to a problem and we frequently have lots of problems. It's gonna be a rough six weeks, let me tell you. I have a small poster that I drew up in my cubicle that says KEEP CALM and DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD. I need to keep that in mind, particularly the keep calm part.

Yay, comics! I appreciate your makeup regimen. Mine is only slightly more invested, mainly because I have to re-purchase nail polish since it cakes up in the bottle after too long.

No one really taught me how to put on makeup so it took a while before I realized what the hell an eyelash curler did. SO I FEEL YOU.

I hope the weeks pass more smoothly than you're imagining! ♥

Uuuugh, nail polish. I used to be into nail polish when I was it in college and you're very much correct about the clogging. How often do you put on nail polish? I stopped mainly because my nails were starting to hurt/become thin because of the nail polish remover. I hate nail polish remover.

Haha, I figure there are more of us untaught ones out there than we think! I'd use an eyelash curler more if I didn't accidentally pinch my eyelids every. damn. time.

Here's hoping! The first week went pretty well, all considering. Only five more weeks to gooooooo.

I do my nails about once every 1 - 1.5 weeks. Some polishes stay on longer than others so that's the variation.

Ouch! Pinching your eyelids sounds painful.

Only a few weeks now since me commenting a lot later than I should, hahaha...
