Frivolous

Oops...misnamed the photos but I'm too lazy to rename and reupload.

Very quick series of photo taken on auto/custom timer. Cropped trench, wrap dress, favorite wedges (not saying much since I only own two pairs) and my most oft used handbag.

And, just because I was thinking about it the other day, my beauty routine over the years (not that anyone cares but this blog is mostly read by just me anyway)

Eighth grade
Daily I'd use a little bit of eyeliner on both my upper lid and the lower waterline...before I even knew what a waterline was (heh). This is also when my eyebrows started to bug me (aesthetically, of course) but I was afraid of tweezers so I used a razor to clean them up...which worked for a while but ended up with me shaving off the end of my right brow accidentally. My beauty routine temporarily included my mom's brow pencil after that :P

Tenth grade
Ughhh makeup overloaddd. I got over my fear of tweezers and tweezed my brows on a regular basis...unfortunately I also decided my brows were too light SO my daily routine also included clear brow gel and too much brow powder. I also wore concealer, translucent powder, lipstick and eyeliner (lower waterline, thick smudged line on my lid). OH, and I frequently slept in velcro rollers to get pretty, wavy hair. It didn't turn out so bad, but I can't believe I did that almost every night.

Eleventh grade
I think that my sleepless, puffy-eyed junior year was a blessing in disguise. Due to lack of time and perpetually irritated, swollen eyes I pretty much gave up makeup for a good chunk of the year.

College
I don't really remember what my daily routine was through college...I think it probably varied with my schedule. But I think that when I did wear makeup it was a thin line of eyeliner (always pencil) on my lid and waterline, translucent powder, eyeshadow, and lip balm. Not too much.

Present
I've fallen down the slippery slope that is high-end makeup...namely eyeshadow (*sigh*). I've also discovered the wonders of mascaras and curlers and have been toying with the idea of using false lashes (!) the next time I go out (like...nightclub type out). So daily? Eyeshadow over Urban Decay's primer, mascara base, mascara, brow wax or gel (clear), and lip balm (usually Smith's Rosebud Salve). My skin has gone from crazy oily to crazy dry, but it doesn't look so bad now so I don't even wear powder anymore :P

So yeah, I don't know what the point of that was haha. s'all good.
