One Trick Pony

Or the reality of burnout in a super-saturated industry. I stopped keeping up with the latest-and-greatest releases in makeup. Even skincare. I'm tired and I just don't care anymore. Edit # 2: After some tinkering, here is the GIF that should have been here in the first place: One (if not THE NUMBER ONE) unspoken …

Jelly

Today's mood is me being irrationally jelly. Of people in the mall who walk around with Sephora bags. No doubt they are happy with scoring something from the store. Or maybe they finally got the chance to get a gift for someone else. There will always be that air of mystery surrounding those black-and-white striped …

Frank on Depression: The MLM Adventures (Part 1)

Hey, Beautiful Blossoms! Yesterday I had the pleasure of reading an interesting (and occasionally funny) blog called "The Not Quite Fairy-Tales of Elle Beau," courtesy of a makeup Discord group I participate in.

The more I tried to get myself to be enthusiastic about cracking open my Vice 4 palette, the more frustrated I became with using it. And no brush I owned in my arsenal could transfer the damn eyeshadow from pan to palette the …

Day 3 of 30: Frustration Outlet

Heylo, Beautiful Blossoms. I felt well enough to make an entry from this year's flu (very, very contagious) which had me tossing and turning in bed because my joints were achy - something that I've never had happen to me in all my years of having the flu. I also needed to let out some …

Trying to Find My Way Back

I remember the time when blogging was still in its infancy: people were posting regularly about their personal lives, innermost thoughts, secrets and gossips shared, . Blogging served as a place to vent frustrations, share dreams and goals, or promote enthusiasm about a personal favorite. Viewership wasn't a big deal back then - at least, …

Hobbies are Expensive.

And makeup is no exception. Right now, makeup is a hobby to me. And holy shit, it's burned quite a hole in my finances. But it's not something I regret at all - I'd do it all again if I could. Except I'd probably skip the contouring shit because my contouring products are barely touched, …
