Fab/Drab Makeup or People?

As I write these, I realize how much people's personalities and actions influence my reaction on their appearance. I can appreciate a nice face and fabulous makeup as much as the next girl, but when you're an a** it's nearly impossible to ACTUALLY appreciate that beauty.
Beauty on the outside is nothing without beauty on the inside.
I'll be signing off for a bit, so let me leave on a note that does not involve me trying to make myself feel better or cutting someone else down for the giggles.

Makeup is fabulous. It makes people feel beautiful. But it's not the end all, be all to beauty!
Beauty comes from within. Keep a positive attitude and positive vibes will be given to you in return.
I know it sounds cheesy, being a natural self- deprecator,  I thought it was at first too. But, I thought, hey why not? And started beefing myself up every day. A compliment here and there. A sarcastic "I'm all that attitude". It all helps you train your brain, until you really do feel those things about yourself. And you DESERVE to feel good like that. All the time!

So, don't just take my word for it. Get a journal and make yourself write something positive down every single day. Whether it be a great quote you heard, a story from a friend, or just a nice compliment that you feel you need to hear. Write it down, and soon enough you'll really mean all of it.

Once you've got that attitude. Go ahead. Literally beef yourself up with some makeup. But always remember, YOU are beautiful. The makeup doesn't create beauty, it enhances it.
So, even out that skin, pump up those lashes, and color those lips.
Enhance.
Believe.
And there's no telling what you can achieve!
(I love Dr. Suess by the way...)

And with that, I bid you all farewell, my loves.
But, I shall return, so keep a look out!

Much love.
And as always, stay FAB <3 nbsp="" p="">

Is narcissism fab? Pt.2

I'm sorry, but I'm giving myself another shout out. It's been a rough, rough few weeks. And, frankly I deserve it!
I'm generally pretty self deprecating by nature, which is why I try to act like I'm far more into myself than I really am (like I said before). It's like my way of making myself feel better about who I am. Looks, personality, life choices, etc. Always try to find the positives.

Anyway, this shout out is going out to my lips. I've been told many times here in Georgia that I look "mixed," aka a mixture of black and white. Which I'm not. I'm full blooded Italian. (So, I suppose I can see where they get that idea.) Fitting the stereotype, I have some full lips. Not crazy full, but definitely not in need of lip plumpers; and I'm totally proud of this. I feel like I pull off lip colors really well and can get away with just some lipstick and mascara and call it a day. (Thank you, thank you. No applause, please.)

My go to lip brand is *drum roll please* RIMMEL. Again. They're lipsticks don't leave your lips feeling dry after a few hours and totally keep the color looking fresh for at least half the day. It's a great product. I tend to get my coral and pink shades from them; while my more "outrageous" shades come from Wet n' Wild (guess the name alone screams "outrageous"). They have my current favorite shade in stock right now; I like to call it "Nicki Minaj Pink," based on the shade Nicki always seems to wear. I think it's beyond fabulous and really makes a statement. Especially on a nice pair of lips like mine.

Thank you for putting up with my me, myself, and I attitude.
Feel free to spew some stuff back at me, so I have to listen to you talk about yourself (seriously, sometimes I think I should have become a shrink).

Much love.

(Duck face? PSH PLEASE)

Is narcissism fab?

Let's face it, we're all a little narcissistic. You have to be; gotta love yourself for someone to love you back, right?
Well, I'm no different. Of course I have my bad days. But, pretending you're far more into yourself than you really are can boost your self esteem for real. Hence my sarcastic attitude and self compliments.
So, here it goes, a post about me.

I'm pretty proud of my lashes. They grow pretty long on their own and really make my eyes pop. And, well, I know how to work em'. Let's just say these eyes have gotten me an iPhone 5 for $10. Well that and the fact that I'm an Advertising major; it's my job to sell things. Anyway, simply put, my eyes are my favorite part about myself.
Even on my "fat days" I can always say, "hey girl, calm down, you got yoself sum beautiful eyes!" (Definitely say it in a voice like that. It seems to me, that this entire generation of males speak/type like that.)
Since this is about me, I don't even have to be creepy and ask about my secret, because I know it!
It's all in the mascara. And, although I love MAC, there is no way I would actually buy any of it. My go to mascara is Rimmel Lash Blast. It's literally just a normal straight brush in a black tube adorned with the Rimmel logo. And guess what; it's 2 bucks!

Get yourself to Target. Pick up a 2 pack of Rimmel mascara for 4 bucks and have a fab look like me.
Narcissistic rant complete.

Yes, I Photoshopped my eyes making em a BIT whiter. It's finals week y'all, aka I forgot how to sleep.

Everything I see is Drab.

I think it's that time of the month, because everyone I see has first made me mad because they can't blend their eyeshadows and then sad because I'm being such a b***h for no reason. Yeah it's about that time. Anyway, I'll just tell you about one girl in particular that sent me over the edge.

I went to apply to work at the Lancome counter in Dillards (I know they should've hired me on the spot right?) And the woman I spoke to for information had THE weirdest eyeshadow going on. It was a mix of a teal green and bubble gum pink. Does that even sound like an appealing color combo?

So colors aside, the way she put them on her lids was absolutely ridiculous. She didn't blend, she just put them in rectangular patches, one after the other. Like a checker board of sorts.

It was at that point I realized that I needed to manage that counter. And as my first order of managerial status I would teach the employees how to handle the makeup they were trying to sell.
Now my only issue is finding time to apply.
Wish me luck!
And remember to stay fab <3 br="" nbsp="">
