Curls & Gold

By nature, I’m an avid reader. My mom took me to the library on a weekly basis from the time I was, like 4 or 5, to check out books. However, the age of the internet began and I’ve slowed down a bit since. I do read, still, but not quite as voraciously as I used to. Well, I’ve recently picked up on it again and it feels good. I get so absorbed in my novels that I feel like I’m living another life when I’m reading. In the series I’m currently reading, there some references to ancient Egypt. I felt inspired, again, to do my Cleopatra-esque, glittery, golden look.

I accomplished this with my Urban Decay Naked palette, using Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, and Creep. I then enhanced the liner on my top lash line with Sephora’s Glitter Eyeliner in Gold. I finished off the look by applying my trusty Ardell #122’s.

I also felt like doing something a bit different with my hair. So I grabbed my Hot Tools curling wand and gave myself some tight, bouncy curls. Tons of volume that lasts and lasts and lasts…no hairspray required!

I LOVE my hair like this, but I’m soooooooooo lazy to do it. It takes more than twice as long as my usual styling routine, so I can only do it when I have time. Well…it takes about 20-30 minutes, which I think is waaaaaaaaaaay too long. <---- no patience :P Anyways, just wanted to let you all know that it's back to school for me starting tomorrow. Boo! :( I've really enjoyed the regular posting and I'll try to stay as regular as possible, but, most likely, posts won't be up on a daily basis. Thanks for reading and have a great night! :)
