Self-primping warning. You have been warned:
Today, I played with my new eyeliner for the first time.
Note: I hate eyeliner. I have blond eyelashes which are the bane of my existence. So when I -do- wear eyeliner, it always looks like there's a gap of skin between my lashes and the liner.
Buuuuuut I spent half an hour carefully administering the liner and then applying a thick layer of mascara. And I spent ten minutes carefully applying my new Russian Red MAC lipstick. That, coupled with my pouffy-yet-manageable wavy hair, parted to the side, made me FEEL like a modernesque Marilyn Monroe.
My mom hates make-up, thinks it makes people look fake, and told me so when she saw my bright red lips. And I told her my bright red lips made me feel like a goddess. So there. AND I wore my new Rockstar jelly flipflops, and my tight boot-cut jeans, and one of my favorite retro-y black shirts, and I just felt like I was rockin' it.
(Granted, when I -feel- like I'm rocking it, there are good chances that I'm doing the exact opposite, but hey. -I- felt good about myself for a change...)
Which leads to: Hoookay. I'm a natural dirty blond. It's more dirty than blond, but it's not brunette either. And I have natural blond highlights. I've been thinking about dying my hair a touch more blond, but I'd prefer to do it myself before paying somebody $100 to do it for me. Anybody have suggestions? Andrew's boyfriend wouldn't give me any, and wouldn't let me buy a dye kit. He told me to look up home remedies first. So... anybody got anything that DOESN'T involve lemons?
