I would like to paint you a picture before I show you how quickly I can paint my face.
It's Tuesday evening. I'm exhausted from school. I'm longingly awaiting when I can finally go to bed and sleep.
Then I realized I had a text.
"Do you wanna hang out with me and Misty today?"-Nancy
A sane person would have said,
"Sorry, had a long day, next time for sure! Ily!"
But am I a sane person?
I post pictures of myself without makeup on the Internet, so obviously not.
It's been a while since our schedules have let us hang out, so I hang out with my friends whenever I possibly can, whether I am dog tired and still slightly sick or not.
They were at the gym and wanted to go the movies afterwards so they said we all had time to get ready.
I decided instead of going in my tee and jeans combo, I was gonna make this a shoe save and look nice doing it!
The race against the clock began.
This was 6 p.m.
I washed my face and took down my hair.
At 6:05 p.m. I:
-Ran a large-barrel curling iron throughout my hair.
-Pin curled sections while the hair was still warm.
-Stopped to eat the Carl's Jr chicken stars my dad brought me. Eating is important!
At 6:15 p.m. I:
-Quickly applied Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer on my lids.
-Applied Prestige Eyeshadow in "Ivory" to my lids
-Blended the shimmery taupe shade from my Smashbox Eye Shadow Quad Picture Perfect into my crease and browbone
-blended the dark brown shade from the same palette into just the very corners of the crease.
-Blend blend blend. Blend again.
At 6:20 p.m. I:
-Applied Stila's black Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in a subtle cat eye shape
-Curled Eyelashes and Applied Rimmel London's Glam'Eyes Lash Flirt Lift and Volume Mascara.
(there was a picture of me applying the mascara, but it looked like my eyes were popping out of my head so I left it out. I just had to save you from the nightmares)
At 6:26 p.m. I:
-still wasn't looking too pretty, so I threw on black tights and a red dress I thrifted for $5. Score!
(In hindsight, I really should have ironed it, but there was no time people! Trying to beat that clock remember??)
-took down the pin curls and ruffed them with my fingers. (That bottom picture is me "ruffling," not trying to pose, which I wouldn't have time for, still racing!!"
-then I ran Too Faced Borderline Anti-Lip Feathering Pencil around the outline of my lips. (If you wear red lipstick and don't like red lip-liners like me, this is a MUST product. No lie, I never wear lipstick without it)
-then prepped my lips with some of Rosebuds's Strawberry lip balm and moisturizer.
(I'm going to go ahead and be vain here but oh my gosh how cute is that bottom left pic!? I looked like a zombie 10 minutes ago now I'm semi-cute! If I was ever on Dateline or a VH1 special I want that picture to be used, not my high-school-yearbook ones. K, thanks)
-and the best for last, Buxom's Big and Healthy Lipstick in "Barcelona."
Yes, that is how awesome my friends look after getting ready after the gym.
I'd hate them if I didn't love them so much. :)
34 minutes isn't really all that bad, and I wonder how much shorter it would have been had I not kept stopping to take all these pictures! :D
