a review of terrible lipstick



 I bought rimmel's kate moss nude matte lipstick, after reading some positive online reviews about the quality of rimmel's kate moss line, it seemed good for me. I've always wanted to try a nude lip but after buying a nude lipglass from mac, it was sort of ruined by mac's awful quality, texture, and sheerness. This lipstick managed to be even worse.  It is on par with mac for being both a disappointment and waste of money. It might be slightly better because it doesn't make my lips stick together like gooey oatmeal, but the scent is horrid. I got a  migraine from this lipstick, This lipstick was so bad it was physically painful to use. That is the extent to which it is terrible, and I wish drug stores had a "if this cosmetic product is bad, you should be able to refund/exchange it" policy,... but they don't and that always makes buying makeup (that isn't from aromaleigh) something of an unpleasant process for me. The packaging is very pretty, and I think it's the perfect lipstick packaging. Red, black, classy. yep the packaging is everything I'd want my makeup to look like but the actual product itself is so mindbogglingly poor quality and terrible that I would never put it on or near my body again. Also I tried layering it with mac's see-through lipglass which basically looked ok for two seconds but had an extremely unpleasant texture, disgusting taste, appalling, rancid smell, and over all was a form of brutalizingly torturing myself. I would not suggest anyone try either of those products. I am a mac hater, though i do like rimmel's other lip products. They have a nice black lipgloss, and you don't know how hard it is to find a black lipgloss, much less one that layers well.

Reason why you should not buy this lipstick:
-It smells like nasty watermelon formaldehyde death flavored jolly ranchers.
-It tastes pretty much the same, but with an aftershock of acetone and wax.
-It is streaky and patchy.
-It is way too sheer, even if you layer a nude gloss over it.
-It will settle into the lines of your lips.
-It will settle even worse with gloss.
-It's pretty much as bad as mac's see-though lipglass except slightly cheaper and a lipstick.

Reasons why you should buy this lipstick:
-You're a masochist.
-You enjoy wasting money.

Nobody paid me to say this.
I just feel passionate about the extent to which this product was an absolute shame to lipsticks everywhere and how, for another two years, I will continue just using shades of red or black on my lips. One of these days I'm going to actually buy something that doesn't disappoint me greatly or make me feel guilty for wasting money on it.

of the knights templar

I'm obviously not a member of any secret organization, because I am female and they wouldn't let me in, anyways. They also would not let me in because I can be described as a boarish, unladylike, vile, lude, socially inept monster truck of a female. So I probably wouldn't make it in anyways. However, that doesn't mean anything since anyone can become an honorary freemason, at least aesthetically, just by buying vintage stuff on ebay or etsy. I've always enjoyed hokey, inaccurate representations of the Illuminati/freemasons/knight's templar, even before it was a craze on 4chan. I like it because it's become some silly ridiculous myth that nobody actually believes in, even while those orders and club still exist as meeting grounds for older men who were let out of the nursing home for the evening. I also enjoy cosplay and apparently taking unflattering photographs of myself.

shitty female singers and why I love them

.....Their fashion, obviously! I won't argue with anyone over the 'good sides' of pop punk (there are none as far I'm concerned. fuck that noise) and I don't enjoy this new snarky-pop pastel-alternative idea. It's nothing more than a stand in for preppy girls who don't have the balls to be goth but still want to somehow showcase their inner pain like a goth. However, I really like singers like Marina Diamandis and Taylor Momsen because of fashion.







Terrible musicians, but excellent fashion inspiration. So I like following them around but it's not because I like their music, I just up-to-date on whatever it is that they're wearing, because it's great.

Some necklaces I made recently. I find that the hardest thing about crafting so much is not the actual crafting, because I really love making things for hours on end. I find that I'm really productive but when it comes to photographing, editing, and posting the items in my shop it's so hard to get the motivation to do it all. Especially since I try to make everything as low priced as I can without skimping on the quality of the materials, sometimes it's easier to just give it away to friends than to take all the time it takes to post it online. I think I have 50+ items I need to post and it's just like, I'm broke as hell but is it worth it... I better go ask someone if they'd like it as a gift, first. And so, I make next to no revenue at all. Though I'd rather to do this than to do any other job because I don't really need that much money anyways.

Thoughts about tumblr...

I'm like, "did I seriously participate in that?". It's like high school except I didn't change my name and pretend to be a different person afterwards.

I've started calling things "banana sandwich". I don't even like Dane Cook. I hate Dane Cook and I think he's a terrible comedian. I just can't stop calling things banana sandwich unironically.
What the actual hell.
