The Migraine
The Spiel 
So I follow this dope Instagrammer, @makeupmouse, and today she posted this amazeballlsssss eye look. This flawlessly blended yellow, orange & black eye. It was glam, it was intense, it was fucking inspiring!!! And then tonight I'm laying in bed, plotting this pixie look to do, when I get this idea to turn her eye look into a character look! And I've been wanting to do a migraine inspired character thing for a while now because they, for better or worse, have been a huge part of my life. I've suffered them since I was 11, and since I was 16 I get rounds of cluster migraines. 2-3 a week. It made my teenage years rather... difficult, to say the least. But I don't think without them, I would be where I am today. Would I have found makeup? To be completely honest, probably not. So that's why I kind of look at them now as a blessing in disguise, no matter how shitty they were to deal with. Also, shoutout to any Brisbane Migraine sufferers, get your ass to the Brisbane Headache Clinic. That shit is amazing! Anyway, the pixie look has been put on hold, and tonight it was all about transforming @makeupmouses's beautiful eye into an intense character makeup (even if I can't blend like she does :p)

All the Kids Are Doing It!
The Spiel
I've been seeing this picture pop up on all my social media sites of this chick with glitter stars under her eyes and a caption saying something like "new way to cover the dark circles under your eyes", or something wittier... Same message though! Whatever, details are besides the point! So after a very long day at work, preparing for the new store to open on Saturday, I came home exhausted but still really wanted to do a new blog post. So what better option that chucking some glitter to hide my obvious exhaustion from the day!! Plus, I mean, is it obvious yet that I will use any excuse in the book to use glitter...? Chyerrrrrrrr.
