Today was not a great day for me makeup-wise. This look took me much longer than it should of. That's the cost of taking two months off, I guess. For some reason after I messed up real good the third time, I decided to just go with it and this is what happened. I debated whether or not to post this because it's not my best work, but I really love the how well the oranges and copper go together. Maybe I'll do a "remixed" version in the future and use all of the same products to do a different look. I don't know, maybe Cleopatra would have liked this. Haha.

I don't think I've ever (in my life) done an orange eye look. The Venus shade from BH's Galaxy Chic palette was just too gorgeous to ignore! Plus, I know a ton of you really liked it!

Have you ever had an "off" day and then ended up rolling with it?

I think I'm going to start doing more of these (while still posting FOTDs as well) so let me know what you think! It's a little more convenient right now since my husband is still on nights. My desk/vanity is currently in our room and I'm too blind to apply makeup in front of the bathroom mirror. I feel bad cos the lights normally wake him up and I make a ridiculous amount of noise when I put on makeup; shuffling products around, opening and closing drawers, and I am also super good at dropping everything. These eye of the day looks take significantly less time to do, so I won't bother Ryan for too long while I'm applying my makeup. That and apparently I have a skin tag (we think?) located right under one of my eyes. I don't know where it came from and hope it goes away soon because it is less than cute.

Also, I'm sorry that my eye isn't in focus! I took at least 20 pictures and in all of the pictures with my eyes open, the camera decided to say "Oh yeah? Well, I'mma take a picture of your eyebrow now!" instead of focusing on my pupil like I wanted it to. Oh well. At least I learned that if I have time, I should look at my pictures before taking off my makeup so I can retake them if need be. Hooray for learning!

Anywhooo, let me know whatcha think and feel free to suggest any of the products that I've swatched for me to use in a look!

P.S. Holy HD, Batman! You can see every pore and little freckle on my face!

RTT Vol. 6: September 2013 Goals

Here's a Throw Back Thursday picture of me working at Putney Mountain Winery inside of a Basketville (lolwut) in VT. I miss that job so much! I hosted wine tastings and it was awesome. If I move back to Vermont, I would go work there again without a doubt.

I really like making lists. I know, surprise, right? I also seem to be unmotivated to do much of anything recently, so a list of goals seems like a good idea. Having my husband being on nights makes me feel more tired than normal because I hardly see the sun and I feel like if I make this list of goals, it will hold me accountable to do at least a few of these things. Hooray!

Let my eyebrows grow in so they can be reshaped.
I've been dissatisfied with the shape of my eyebrows for a while, ever since I got them done at the salon on base. They did a number on my brows! Though I get really self-conscious about my super bushy eyebrows, it will be worth it to reshape them next month!

Have at least one video done and uploaded onto my YouTube channel.
I still have no idea what video editing program I should use/how to use a video editing program, nor do I have an idea of where I'll be filming. This one will be the most difficult for me, I think, but the most rewarding for me as well.

Figure out how to use my new camera.
I've already started reading the beginning of the manual, which is SO LONG. I still don't have a memory card, so I haven't even turned the camera on yet.

Do my nails at least once.
I was actually going to do this earlier, but one of my nails broke off way too far down on my finger and got all bloody and gross and painful so I'll have to wait for my nail to grow out enough to where I can shape it a little bit before I do all of my nails.

Buy a YSL lipstick.
This is probably the easiest thing on my list. If I don't manage to pick a color before the end of the month, I'll be super disappointed in myself. Haha.

Make funfetti brownies.
I've already made a pie this month, so I'm hoping I'll still have a bit of that motivation left in me to bake more!

Make an appointment to get contacts.
I'm terrified of the telephone. I am so bad at making appointments because not only do I need to talk to someone I don't know on the phone, but then that means I have to go to the appointment. I do know that most people on base need to wait for months for an actual appointment with the eye doctor though, so maybe that will help? Maybe?

Start taking my medication that I was prescribed in early August.
(Oops!) This kind of goes with the point I made above. Once I start taking the medication, I need to make a follow up appointment within a week.

Finish Stone Angel by Carol O'Connell.
I absolutely adore reading, but it seems like once I don't have a job, I stop doing it on the regular. That sounds weird when you don't know that I had some free time to read at work, whether I was done with everything for the day or on my lunch break.

I think this is a good amount of things to do this month. Wish me luck!
Do you make monthly lists?
