Creating matte lip colours from non-matte colours

I bought a new It Started With a Kiss from Lush yesterday so that I could have one for home and one for my purse and I discovered something amazing. It Started With a Kiss, like all Lush lip tints, is a glossyish finish, but, just like glossy lipsticks, you can powder over them with translucent powder and turn them into matte lipsticks! So now I have a lovely matte red to play with yay.

So in more detail what I do is apply the lipstick like normal, blot with tissues, powder the lips, reapply lipstick and repowder. It also makes the colour last longer so that's yet another plus.

Things my English teacher says

In one day my English teacher both threatened to shiv a student (because she's from out west and she could) and set up a student (in the class) rapping on youtube on the projector.

She talks in a Southern American accent (Louisiana to be specific) whenever she watches True Blood

She thinks that True Blood is too sexy for me and won't fangirl with me about it

She tells us all to be quiet, but is so easily distracted that a simple question will allow everyone to start talking again

She says "gosh darn!" and "con sarnit!"

She refers to us as "you guuuuys!"

One time I saw her carry her laptop by the screen, like fully extended and by the screen at her side. I thought I was going to pass out

Things I do in English
These are some things that I've googled in the past week of English:

For one I was trying to think of racial slurs for my assignment on shakespeare so this happened:
"Shakespearean racial slurs"
"Shakespearean insults"
And did you know that there's a shakespearean insult generator?

I just posted something really angry on tumblr and someone reblogged me

I'm pretty excited about it, even though I'm somewhat regretting my angry Rick Santorum rant.

You can read my anger if you do so please: Rick Santorum is a dick

I'm really bad at tipping

Like really, really bad.

In Australia tipping (in terms of delivery people) is kind of a you can if you want to thing, like no one is going to go crazy and nock over your mail box if you don't and people are overly grateful out if you do. So I like to tip, makes me feel warm and fuzzy, but I'm so terribly bad at it, it's embarrassing.

I just ordered a pizza and they didn't have enough change for me, so I said "I don't mind, I'll just take the $20" when it was $30 change, but the delivery guy just kind of ignored me and then gave me $29 change in coins and I was like

Again?!
I was trying to be nice and helpful! I love that pizza place and 2pm on a Friday can't be a fun time to deliver.

Notes I wrote myself for my English assignment

I don't like Shakespeare; I don't understand how I can be expected to write to his standard when he was supposedly the greatest playwright of all time, seems a little unfair, don't you think?

So my notes for the last two hundred words of my English assignment is as follows (we have to write an intervention in the play Othello, mine is between the Duke and Iago)

It's gonna be amazing and enthralling.


And oh my God, that last thing I posted was my 500th post!

The perks of living with a vegetarian

Whenever there are weird chunks of something in the sink, I can be positive that it's not meat, it's probably just chick peas

I feel strange!

I just had a really weird feeling come over me, like in Misfits when Nikki does her teleport/transportation thing, I didn't know if I was going to throw up or discover that I have a super power...Neither happened, how dissapointing.

I don't feel very productive today

I'm sick and don't want to do anything, but I have to do something otherwise I'll go mad. So I've been rewatching the IT Crowd and I love it so much, I especially love all of Moss' lines, eg. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I came here to drink milk and kick ass, and I've just finished my milk

You're my wife, Roy, you're my wife! We should be married to ladies, but we're not, we're married to each other!

I've got a gun! I've got a ruddy gun!

Jen: Dungeons and Dragons? Is that some sort of sex thing?
Moss: Far from it, Jen!

I love him so much.

New Lush thiiiings!

Oh man, you guys, we have finally gotten the new Lush stuff, only like 3 months late, but whatevs. It's so exciting!

I want to try:
British Nanny moisturiser

I'm so excited about this, it has spf! Straight up sunblock continues to break me out, so I've been relying on the sunscreen in my makeup to protect me, but hopefully now this will work! I am a little skeptical and wondering if it'll aggravate my skin, but we'll see.

Lustre dusting powder

I don't know why I want this, probably because it's sparkly and I am drawn to such things. Well done Lush and their marketing.

Peace massage bar

One of the lovely Lush ladies told me that Therapy massage bar was being discontinued and I was devastated, so I decided that I would find a new bar to become obsessed with before they pull Therapy, so far I'm really liking Hottie, but Peace could be interesting too, they don't say much about the smell on the website, but it's based on their spa treatment, Synaesthesia, which uses oils for "forgiveness, acceptance, calm and content" which sounds nice.

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner

How interesting does this sound? You put it on in the shower and wash it off leaving your skin all lovely and soft. Super stoked to try this.

God freaking damnit

I went to a friend's house last night and, classic girls, we stayed up for a majority of the night, so I was really damn tired. At 2pm I decided to have a nap until 3pm, when I was going to go and see my horse, so I hunkered down, set up an alarm and drifted off to sleep. Next thing I know, it's 6pm and I feel completely cheated out of my Sunday, I did absolutely nothing the yesterday. My phone decided to go silent for no freaking reason.

What's worse is that I'm still really goddamn tired, so I'll be going to bed at like 9pm.

Bodily reactions should not be included in assessment marking

It's not fair, I can't control them.

Every time I have a speech I get marked down for shaking like a leaf because it makes me look less professional or whiter, which I think is unfair because I have no control over my shaking, it just happens whenever I'm petrified.

Kind of ridiculous that they expect me to be able to control that. They don't ever give me any constructive criticism, just stop shaking. How would I go about doing that?

Dancing!

So I didn't end up going dancing this afternoon, I did, however, dance at school.

What with our formal coming up (nearly a month away, guys!) they thought it would be prudent to teach us some dance moves so that we don't all embarrass ourselves on the night. Jokes on you, I'm going to embarrass myself anyway.

Last week we were learning what they call "the jive" which was weird and difficult and I didn't like it one bit. I had no idea what was going on and I was terrible. But! This week we learned to waltz. Which was very exciting because just mere weeks ago I was whisked away by a creepy little old man and taught to foxtrot, which, from what I gather, is exactly the same as waltzing.

Yeah, so, don't mean to brag, but I was pretty good at that. Only problem was that the boyf wouldn't let me lead and he didn't know what he was doing, so that was a minor difficulty. If he would just let me wear the pants! I hate pants though*, so it's all good.

*I don't mean that I walk around bottom half naked, I mean that I only wear dresses or skirts. And when I say "only", I mean I do not wear pants, ever.

It's been a while

Hey guys, I feel kind of weird typing to you because it's been some time now (pssh 10 days isn't even that long) since I posted anything...I've got nothing going on, I haven't bought any news things, I been immersing myself in school (mostly art, ugh, takes up so much of my time) and may have forgotten about the whole blog thing.

I do have some little bits and bobs that I've written down in notes on my phone that I want to remember for some reason, so here you go:

I want to look non-threatening on the bus, I get this weird sort of satisfaction when an old lady picks me over the creepier people on the bus

Life goal - want people to think I'm lovely

Buy more moisturiser

When you're on a bus and it's really bumpy and it feels like your whole face is going to fall off (I write a lot of these on the bus)

Why is time so slow?

I am going to choke on my straw and die
...I don't know what that is, but underneath it, it says:
"Why do I have this on my phone?
...That's strange
Maybe I nearly choked on my store somewhere...I do not know"


Oh my God, it's been raining for so freaking long, like two or three days, you guys, I hate it.

Oh and I'm going Latin-Rock dancing again, but this time the boyf (that's right, one month strong!) will be accompanying me and keeping the old guys away. So I'll tell you how that goes tomorrow.
