11 Facts About Me
1. I have been vegan for like seven years and straight edge for nearly four years. Vegans don't eat anything that has anything to do with the animal kingdom. Including fish. Ha.
2. I have post traumatic stress disorder, which causes me to have reoccuring dreams (for as long as I can remember), inappropriate emotional responses, poor attention span, and really random flashbacks. I also have related insomnia periods and... mood swings, hah.
3. John and I are child free, but we do share our home with a dog and two cats. The dog is my baby, the eldest cat his baby, and the youngest our baby; I am in general more of a dog person.
4. I have been heavier and I have been thinner. I was much happier at my low weight, both with my appearence and my health.
5. j0hn says, "you make good foods."
6. John and I have our home decorated for Halloween year round. We are really into skeletons and anatomy. Oh, and pumpkins. We love pumpkin ANYTHING.
7. Although I love the freedom of being a freelance artist, I truly love working at Sephora. I love being able to impact a maximum number of lives because I truly believe (good) makeup can be life changing.
8. I went to a tech school for communications and broadcasting, then went on to college courses for Electronic Media. I had to drop out my junior year. I would go back for Journalism on the magazine track. I never thought my life would bring me to a career in cosmetics. I have Lady Gaga and emilynoel83 to blame for that, ha.
9. My favorite movies range from anything from childhood classics to disgustingly gory horror films. I tend to avoid a lot of dramas and comedies, but do enjoy an action film now and again. Also, I tend to prefer films from overseas, and often find my favorite films are remakes of foreign films.
10. I drink a lot of coffee. I am on a friendly, first name basis with most of the baristas at the Starbucks in my mall. They know where I live, where I work, and one may even be my neighbor soon. It's probably not healthy, but I do look forward to seeing them so it keeps me coming back.
11. I don't read as much as I used to. I honestly feeling like I'm losing my intelligence as I age, and it terrifies me. There are days that I can't even string together words with more than one syllable and I wonder what happened to the sharp young lady that learned SAT vocabulary for fun.
11 questions from Toxid.lotus
1. My favorite color is apparently green. It took me a really long time to come to this conclusion, though just easily it could be said my favorite color is black. My decor is mostly black, my clothes are mostly black, and I love a good black eyeshadow. But right after that is green.
2. I have a lot of deep memories. Most of them were not positive. I remember being three or four years old, living in a really poor section 8 apartment, and getting in trouble for spraying all of the exterior windows on a "block" with green puffy paint. I remember having it all over my hands and my favorite Mickey Mouse Safari shirt. Maybe it wasn't puffy paint, just fabric paint. I remember being scared because I was in trouble, but mostly being upset that my shirt was ruined.
3. I have a ton of tattoos. I really, really, really want to finish my right arm, and get my left sleeve done. My left arm is going to be all black and grey, and have one panel images from some of my favorite comics. I need to finish the Year One Batman tattoo, and start my Death of Superman piece.
4. I love green tea and chai tea. I love them even more with disgusting amounts of sugar.
5. I love early fall. Even though Halloween is a little later, I love the weather in early fall. The leaves are starting to change, it's cooler, but not cold, and I am not considered as weird as I am the other nine months of the year. Clearly I'm just really enthusiastic about Halloween! No one dresses or decorates like that year round, right?!
6. One? Indie: MSC despite the lack of foundation. "Mainstream": Urban Decay.
7. Nothing more than toes and maybe some bones in my left foot.
8. I love pretty much any scent I have from One Hand Washes the Other. I also really love Lavanilla's Pure Vanilla fragrance. I am in love with the new Guerlain Le Petite Robe Noire, Tocca's Violette, and Burberry Brit Sheer.
9. See above
10. I have an irrational fear of zombies. I am terrified of not knowing what the government is doing with bioweapons, and am afraid that something could actually create zombies because of it. Not necessarily brain eating zombies, because those aren't as scary, but flesh eating, angry, running zombies terrify me to no end. I think it's because I'm happy with my life and don't want to see something like that happen.
11. I actually haven't given a lot of thought to what I'll be for Halloween. No clue. I'll probably be working and not too worried about it. I love Halloween year round, so on actual Halloween night, I tend to just wing it.
11 questions from me:
1. What is your one must have holy grail cosmetic?
2. Who has been the most influentual person in your life?
3. Do you have any pets? What are they? (Stole this one)
4. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
5. Do you play video games? What's your favorite?
6. What would your "last meal" be?
7. What is the best book you have ever read? Why?
8. What is the coolest animal ever? Why?
9. What is your all time favorite scent?
10. What's your "style"? Home decor, clothing, etc.
11. Tell us one random memory that you want to share.

11 Questions Beauty Tag
I was tagged by Caity to do an eleven question tag.
RULES:
1: What are your top five favorite musicians/bands?
Nine Inch Nails, Dillinger Escape Plan, Acacia Strain, Wednesday 13 (& his many bands), Marilyn Manson; I listen to a huge range of music (Die Antwoord almost made this list, for example) but for bands I've liked the longest & listened to the most, these five are up there.
2: Your top eyeshadow primer?
I am currently using up a tube of Too Faced Shadow Insurance, have a sample of Benefit's Stay Don't Stray & regularly use the vegan primer Under the Rainbow from MTcoffinz.
3: Best lipstick shade for your skintone?
Black. It matches my soul.
4: Favorite drugstore mascara(s)?
None. I don't think I ever found one I'd call a favorite. I did like the Physician's Formula Organic Wear one and the NYC Show Time Waterproof formula & at one time I thought I was in love with the Almay.. Triple Effect One Coat or something like that? Spend a few more $$ and get the Sephora Lash Plumper mascara.
5: Do you enjoy practicing on others by doing their makeup?
lol, it's my job.
6: Can you record videos (or do makeup) with others watching? (Significant other, siblings, etc)
yes. I have over 300 videos & my work is photographed and I'm given feedback/criticism at work from my bosses and co-workers.
7: Which do you prefer; loose pigment or pressed powders?
Depending, but probably loose pigment.
8: Do you enjoy foiling?
With a good foiling medium, yes. With water, no.
9: How many times have you colored your hair?
I dye it at least once a month.
10: Do you like cats?
Not particularly. If they live in their world & let me live in mine undisturbed, we're fine.
11: What is your most favorite full-face makeup attire that you've done on yourself?
I actually didn't think I could pick just one, but here it is:
I TAG.. I don't know eleven people with blogs, sadly. =[

Waiiit. It's 2012? Recap of November/December.
I honestly couldn't tell you what I did the last two months. I worked through the holiday rush at my dream job (Sephora) & even occasionally got to work in "color" (on the floor with clients). I've met a lot of wonderful people at Sephora and really couldn't ask for a better cast.
Here's a breakdown of what happened in youtube world, as that's the only way I know how to gauge my time...
I kicked off November by trying to give closure to October with videos such as the Halloween tag (with j0hn, even!), followed by a long overdue review of Lensvillage.com (fancy contact lenses here!), and then my favorites video for October (I love...). Next came a few tutorials, everything from my face routine at that time (little has changed to date), a bright blue look (oh, that Sally Sapphire) and a look I'm particularly happy with (Ghoulies & Redrum Plans). That was all for tutorials for a while because after that I started working at Sephora & moving into my current apartment. I uploaded a delayed mailtime about two weeks late and a vlog to explain my absence. I launched a since closed contest/giveaway and posted a haul of my small amount of black friday purchases (yes, they came from Sephora, ha). Next came my first holiday tutorial, inspired by the iconic Christmas tree, and one inspired by a lesser know icon, Yo-landi Vi$$er. I ended the month with cheater's NMM vlog and another tutorial, this time of the frosty lavender & gold variety.
Then came December... I started off by combining two tags into one mega-tag, the Holly Jolly Tag & Wish List 2011 tag until it became.. somewhat epic. & by epic, I simply mean long. Another NMM vlog snuck up on me, so I let j0hn do all of the work. I finally posted my December favorites about a week too late, and got into the holiday spirit with a Rudolph the red-lipped reindeer look for a contest (I didn't even place, by the way). I finally got the prize video together for my contest just in time for another NMM vlog to creep up. Then things got too busy & I had to combine a vlog with an impromptu tutorial and OOTD. I finally found time to do something I'd been waiting for, a Frosty the Snowman tutorial that turned out better than I had hoped. I finished off the month with some prize mail from Miss Marell and a joint haul video with Mr. 1313.
Now we find ourselves in January. I want to get up a 2011 favorites video, but I may settle for the top 11 products of 2011 tag.. boo. I hate settling. In the meantime, here's this week's NMM vlog, featuring a Ninja! So what if it's a blender and not a master of martial arts.. it's still a ninja!
See you guys soon, I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season.
