OH MY FLUFFY GREY AND WHITE KITTENS + NARS FUNNY FACE REVIEW

I am losing my mind. Slowly. 

Brandon has an internship and will be leaving for another state by June 18. Portland State still hasn't gotten back to me, and won't for at least two weeks. Meanwhile, we have to be out of our apartment by June 29. I have no idea where I am going to go. I really don't want to move in with my parents. So yes, at this point I am so stressed out that my attention span is non existent, my eyes twitch whenever I close them, and I feel like I could sleep for all eternity but I need to run a marathon. 

In other news, I bought a lipstick! Nars Funny Face is my new favorite. 

I am super washed out, but I love this color! It is a full, rich pink that somehow manages to work with my constantly dry lips. It isn't exactly true to the color in the tube though — 

Which I am grateful for! I would never have looked at it, but the SA looked at me and said I had to try it. I usually don't look so great with rose hues, which is what this looks like in the tube. It is far brighter and much more red than it looks, which is wonderful. All in all, a wonderful offering from Nars. I'm a wee bit addicted!

Thoughts, and an unfortunate picture.

I'm presently stuck in the most boring oceanography lecture in the universe. I typically love this class, but since this is the last week of term and finals are next week, people are asking stupid questions. This bores that crap out of me, and makes me want to leave. I would leave the class, but we get points for staying for the full class. I like getting A's. 

Anyway, I was talking to a friend (S) a few days ago, and the conversation has stuck in my head. We were discussing our everyday makeup/clothing, and which was more important as far as other people's perceptions go. To me, if I see someone in a somewhat boring outfit but with their hair and makeup done, I think it is intentional. I know that when I get stressed out, I wear a cute sweatshirt and leggings with heels and light makeup. I still look semi-polished, but not as "done" as I would normally like. (See above look. Yay finals and nasty landlords!)  

I know that I don't get as many doors opened for me when I wear flats and don't wear makeup. I don't get too offended by it, because I haven't put any effort in. S thinks that is wrong, that people should be perceived the same way all the time because they are the same person whether or not they put effort in. I disagree with this. I know that I get up a bit earlier to do my hair and makeup, and I consider it a part of putting my best foot forward. I don't expect to show up in sweats and be treated as though I'm wearing a gown.
