FOTD: Spitfire and a little talky-talk-rant

Hey all! I got to visit Kathy this weekend and didn't have a lot of time to do funky makeups but I had some time on Sunday, so I rocked this look. I wasn't really trying to create anything specific, I just had my Inglot palette and rolled with it. I should have used a white base but instead I just did a few layers of each color. The flash shots make the lime green look INSANE but I promise it's not as garish as it looks.

Under the photos there will be a little chatty rant thing, I put it there so that anyone who isn't interested can see the makeup and move on.







FACE:
- Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #23
- Mac MSF Natural in Light Medium
- Maybelline SuperStay Concealer in Cream
- Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer in Light
- Avon Be Blushed Stick in Golden Rose

EYES:
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
-Inglot eyeshadow in 60 (inner corner), 412 (inner lid and lower lashline), 59 (crease), 385 (middle lid and lower lashline), 504 (outer crease) and 395 (inner corner)
- Mac Pearlglide liner in Black Line
- Maybelline Illegal Length mascara

LIPS:
- Mac lipstick in Spitfire (THANKS KATHY :D)
 
As for the rant, it's related to blogging so at least semi relevant. In recent months, I've lost a lot of the passion I had for blogging. There's multiple reasons and I guess I should go into them. For one, last summer there was a lot of drama that cropped up around me because of a single action, and it really made me start to dislike the community as a whole. I also felt that my blog traffic significantly decreased as sides were chosen and trust was lost. I don't feel that my emotional connection to doing this was ever restored and I often struggle with posting anything. The drama has died down but I think the effects are still present.

Second, I don't really know what to post most of the time. It's partially because I don't feel like my makeup is all that interesting anymore as I don't do much in the way of dramatic or even fun, most of the time. I got a lot of comments via Facebook/Twitter/my blog asking me to post more outfits and then when I did last fall/winter, and even did a few videos, they didn't seem to get many comments. That seems to happen a lot though; I get requests to do hauls and such and no one really comments. Or maybe they watch and don't have time/want to comment? I don't know. I do have a YouTube channel and I post things but putting them here on the blog merits little to no response. It leaves me a bit frustrated and confused as to what my readers want to see. 

Lastly, I haven't done video tutorials or much blogging because my camera is difficult. It's nearly 3 years old at this point and it was older model when I purchased it anyway. I don't really want to spend the cash on something else but I do like swatching for you guys. I do the best I can.

I don't really know the whole point of that rant but it felt good to get it out. I've considered not blogging anymore but I'm not sure what I want to do.

FOTD: Wild Pride (har... har...)

I picked up the Pride and Lust palettes from Walgreens a while ago (it was probably in a haul post at some point) and finally got around to using them. I did a pretty good look with Lust but it creased like crazy for some reason so I didn't have a chance to photo it. I will redo it at some point for you!

Anyway, I won't be doing a review of these as I'm sure you've already seen 17,681 blog posts about them and if you haven't... Google. :)

My only complaint with Pride was the sparkling white shade (upper right). That eyeshadow sucked. Really. Bad. It was just pure glitter and I had no luck trying to get it to stick except on my face! I ended up putting the matte white over top instead and loved the way it came out.

Here it is!
