Trolley cars, etcetera

So I've been traveling. Las Vegas, southern California, and now San Francisco. But in a few hours I'll be heading toward Lake Tahoe for a couple days, and then back home. It's been fantastic. That's about it.

Who needs a mirror ...

when you have a WEBCAM!


So I woke up this morning looking like this. And then decided that yes, I did need to take a shower. The hair was unmanageable. Oh, and I think I'm going to dye it blonde. And then red. And then black. And then back to brown. It will FABULOUS. Anyway, go get yourself a latte while I shower ...


Post-shower. I used:
-Aussie Mega 2in1 shampoo+conditioner (for normal hair)
-AVON Keep it Clean! Multi-Vitamin Cleanser
-AVON Skin-So-Soft Antibacterial Moisturizing Body Wash in Citrus Fresh (yeah, my mom used to sell AVON)
Then, I got out of the shower, dabbed myself dry, slathered some Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine weightless anti-frizz serum Leave-in through my hair, combed it a bit, and brushed my teeth with Colgate Whitening and a toothbrush from the dentist ("Use the Fuzzy End!, -Dr. Tuft").


Then I dabbed some foundation on, because I was suppoused to be going to the college's counselor (whoops, the appointment is for tomorrow). I used Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in Sandy Beige Medium 1. I don't recommend it. Sure, it looks nice, but it's messy.


Plus two shades of eyeshadow. I feel bad because I know that the brand of all the eyeshadow I used was Mark, but I don't know the colors--I put them all in a magnetic quad palette. But I swept a creamy light tan across my brows, and a sparkly sand-in-the-desert-in-Lawrence-of-Arabia color across the lower half of the lid. And then I did some light maintenence plucking.


Then I swept a medium-dark latte with extra cream color along the lower lid to give me that sexy-anemic-house-elf look. Don't worry, I wear glasses and have short hair, so I have to use some extra eyeshadow.


Followed by some, well, a lot of dark Mississipi-mud brown around and along the crease. Note the hopeful adventurous gleam in my eye.


And some brow liner. I don't like whispy ambiguous brows. So if anything, I lean toward the Sedgewick.


And then some green eyeliner along the inner lid (upper and lower) to add depth and bring out my pretty hazel eyes.


"Darn, I forgot to curl my lashes before I put on mascara. WHY DO I ALWAYS DO THAT?"


Here is the finished product. Just a little lipstick and I'm all ready. Well, minus the glasses. I wasn't wearing them because they have this awful glare.

Well, that's the end of it.
