Sooner than later they will breathe air for the sake of realism, will have a robotic skeleton, machine like genitals that massage and secreet lubrucants and programmable Ai. They'll get better and do laborious tasks and other non sexual things with finesse while looking fantastic.

I feel like this is what happens until one goes rogue and turns into Tay Tweets or Skynet.

This is kind of random but, I’ve been having a “lash issue” 

 

so, I’m sort of figuring out that my eye shape is not suited for most lashes on the face of this earth. I had to waste enough money on trying different lashes to realize, none of them work for my eye or my face, or aren’t going to give the look I’m going for. 

 

It’s a lot to explain, lmao. But basically the actual curvature of my eye is not suited for lash bands. Because the inside of the corners of my eyes curve so far in ward, and the outside of my eyes, push so far forward, it causes lashes to not stick to my inner corner. 

 

And, on top of that, they don’t even ‘look right’ on the eye shape, because it’s so curved, the inner corner area of the lash that should be sticking upward for most people, and be sort of like, flush across the line of the lid. For me, that inner corner, the lashes are actually pointing or facing toward my nose. Inward. Instead of facing forward and going up, they’re facing inward and going sort of sideways. 

 

So this forces me to not put the lash band on the inner corner at all, which looks weird, because- you have this lash band starting in the middle of the eye lid. 

 

If you try to cover the empty space where there’s no lash band in the inner corner with eye liner, it accentuates the deep set-ness of my eye there and the hooded ness of my lid and deep set lower brow bone. And makes me look, kind of cave-man esc. 

 

It’s not a look. 

 

The next problem I run into, is the lashes are too long for my very short lid - to brow bone space. 

 

A lot of lashes are too dense as well, which doesn’t suit me. And if they’re cruelty free like I prefer, the lash band is often thicker and more plastic like, and the lashes look shiny and unrealistic, thick, plastic. Not the beautiful undetectable natural lash I need. 

 

And the next problem is the length of my eye, from inner to outer corners. It is actually very small, compared to most people’s eyes. So, most lashes don’t fit the length of my tiny eye properly, and thus the curvature of the lash design, just doesn’t measure properly and hit in all the right places it should be, being placed. I end up having to cut off half the lash. And then it looks stupid, and once again, unnatural. 

 

And lastly, the final problem is that my eyes are almond shaped. Majority of lashes are designed to suit the curvature of the “round eyed” eye lid, with a taller brow bone, and lots of lid space. While I would love to have a round eye and I think they’re beautiful. This is what I have, and no lashes are designed for almond eyes (that I know of). 

 

I’ve found that lashes suited for a natural look for monolids are closest to what I’m looking for. But even then, it would be really nice to have a lash brand that is designed for people with, the ‘less common’ eyes. 

 

No amount of finessing works. 

 

So for that reason, as a solution. I am finally doing what I have to do and just, going to use individuals. 

 

I’ve never tried them before but I think I’m going to be very happy with the results, and the application will be much easier for me. 

 

Someone who has a similar eye shape to me, and who gives great advice on individual lash application is Roxette from youtube: 

 

 

As you can see from the thumbnail, the difference between lash band lashes and individuals, is definitely worth making the switch.

TJ Max early access alert: 

 

huda beauty is available at TJ max: rose gold remastered palette, desert dusk palette, and mercury retrograde palette for about 20 dollars off. 

 

Also a Dior lip in rose gold is available, and these are my favorite lip product in sephora. The shade is nice, for about 20 dollars. 

 

There is also high end skin care like SK II and Laniege, and some Tatcha face masks. 

 

Also there is a beauty blender, from the original beauty blender brand. Which is, the best one. It’s also the most expensive, but here it is 10 dollars off. 

 

Don’t sleep on TJ Max fam

Savings Alert! 

 

Shoptagr now has a cash back option, sort of like kohl's cash. Which we love. 

 

It's not like credit like a victoria's secret card or TJ max, it's more like targets reward system where you literally get money back on shit you buy. 

 

It's not like sephora points or boxycharm points either where you get like 80,000,000 points and that equates to like 50 cents US lol 

 

it's like, actual money. lol 

 

all websites/businesses should do this because it makes the frugal people spend more, and choose to use their store (or in this case, shoptagr is an app) over others.

I fucking love Rare beauty and I wish I could be a spokesperson for them. I don't even know if that exists but if it did I'd be like sign me up. Literally where do I sign. 

 

This brand is just so beautiful, I could go on about it for ages, all the reasons it is literally the bomb.com but yeah. 

 

Seriously, if you want to support Selena Gomez's initiative to raise 100 million dollars for mental health centers around the globe, then seriously go pick up a lipstick, order some samples of foundation and see if you wanna buy a shade or two. It's so beautiful. Also a lot of beauty guru's are still raving about the launch after the initial hype has died down, which speaks volumes in the true quality of the products. The #1 raved about product is the primer actually. So yeah, those three things. Go try them, support the cause, and get some bomb bomb products in return. I don't see why not, and you're also missing out on these amazing and unique formulas and finishes that are just, so every day and stunningly beautiful and wearable at the same time.

Also a great go to gift for your friends, co-workers, family wheover. Young, mature, all skin types and complexions. It's going to look beautiful on anyone. With the holidays coming up, I'll definitely be spreading the word about these beautiful products to everyone.

 Instead of lash bands try using the little individual cluster kinds

So I just had an idea. Obviously makeup PR teams are not doing launch parties anymore because of covid. But, back in the day (2019 lol) in LA it used to be all the rage. 

 

It would be really cool to hire those dudes who make 'realistic' looking items out of cake. And have them make your makeup products you're launching in true to size, out of cake. 

 

Alternatively you could send that out as a PR package to celebs as well. Idk, I don't work for a PR company but it's just an idea I would have if I worked for one.

I am so for this idea, the videos would be great tbh

Oh my god this months boxycharm was so bad holy shit 

 

i really wanted to try to like it too... i gave it it’s best shot. 

 

I got exfoliating pads, which smell like a monkeys ass with orange rinds grinded into it. Really foul like, death. And then the serum remaining on ur face afterward, dries down so sticky its really gross 

 

and i really dont think they do anything, at all. Shit.

 

and then, a palette which i had to re-swatch four, five times to get the build up to the level I’m used to. I just really wasn’t impressed with the formula of the eyeshadows at all dawg.... none of it made any sense either and wasn’t cohesive. The formula felt like chalk. 

 

And then a faulty Fenty brow product that wasn’t my shade. If it wasn’t faulty and was my shade i would of loved it. But yeah like, the pen was broken-ish. 

 

And then a Kosas liquid tint bull shit, which had no coverage and made me look orange, and dried down so Matte, i just don’t understand.... why lol it reminded me of stage makeup but then without the coverage. The shade was def wrong for me. If i had perfect skin maybe i would of liked it but i dont so like... just not for me i guess? 

 

And then a liquid lip that smelled kinda off, and was such a thick formula it was like gross but then dried down matte. To the point where i had to scrub it off. Yeah, one of those. Even then, i can still work with that but. It was so drying, and smelled like, buttery vanilla but like, starting to expire. The packaging is cheap and bleh. And the brand is something I’ve seen in tJ max for 3 dollars in a pack of five. It’s just a shitty brand that is lowest quality like, gas station quality my dudes. I’ve tried them before from tJ max and they just suck in every possible way you can think of i don’t understand. And the shade is like a mauve dark color. So i was relaly surprised to even see that in there. 

 

And then a Murad toner which, they keep giving us MURAD shit and i dont WANT IT. STOP. It’s all stupid. like thats not exciting at all c’mon. And I’ve tried Murad’ s shit before and didn’t like it every time i get a product from them so i just didn’t even bother trying to toner it’s probably the equivalent of a CVS MICELLAR water like c’mon...... you know this doesn’t do anything... c’mon man... 

 

honestly, what a joke. Rip off artists.

I’m going to give the makeup palette another chance and try playing with it. 

but yeah I sounded a litttle harsh I think I was kind of tired when I made that last post but, these products aren’t terrible just none of them were what would work for me 

 

And on top of that weren’t the type of products I would be wanting 

 

So this months box just wasn’t for me (and they got the shades wrong but tbh I can go in the system and change that) 

 

but it still over all isn’t bad stuff it just was the right stuff for me personally or what I wanted to see 

 

but yeah, I’m going to play with this eye shadow palette because the swatches are pretty in the video I did of them it just took a second to build them up. 

but I also will remain honest in my review of the palette, I just haven’t put it on the eye yet so how can I comment yet really on how good or bad it is 

 

 
here is swatches of it. I built these up by applying the color 4x tho for each one 

 

I love Isabelle badoya and this does honestly look super pretty swatched out perhaps it’s not bad formula we will see
