Upgrade: Makeup

Posted on by Fireborn Eli

I rarely make New Year’s resolutions. But there was something different about 2014.

Maybe it was the fact that I was still dealing with weight/hair/skin issues after having my second child. But a conversation with my cousin Paloma finally lit a fire in me. I promised myself that this year I would make some changes. No more excuses.

So I started subscribing to ipsy so i can try new products every month, joined Ulta‘s reward program and invested in some quality makeup. I started with one of my favorite features: my eyes. I got new glasses, watched YouTube, got creative with my eye makeup and started filling in my eyebrows.

Instant improvement and I took a whole bunch a few selfies to show off share.  😉

My fave beauty gurus:
♡♡♡Nicole Guerriero
♡♡♡Michelle Phan
♡♡♡Ruby Golani
♡♡Makeup Geek
♡♡SMLxO
♡♡Lauren Curtis

Bottom line: I want to look good I want to feel good I want to turn heads I want confidence I want to be sexy I want to be a bombshell. I’m already all those things. I’m a work in progress.

If tears be the ink of the poet
Then sorrow is inspiration.
My soul can speak volumes
With no set limitations. 

If tears be the ink of the poet
Then shouldn’t I not waste them?
But who can reverse waterfalls
Once they’re rumbling toward the edge?

If tears be the ink of the poet
Then my art shall never perish.
Though it hurts, it brings relief
These outpourings that I cherish.
