Bad Face Day

Normally people talk about "bad hair day"... well, today, I had a "bad face day"...

I woke up late this morning, and scrambled to put my outfit and make-up on. Rushing is not a good catalyst to make-up. My liquidlast liner went all screwy on me (actually, my hand was shaky because I was in such a rush), and I had to do some major repair with a wet qtip. Not fun. And then, some shitty thing happened with my lashes, and they didn't get curled properly. I had to apply mascara on half-ass curled lashes. My face looked disastrous... but I had no time to start over. I savaged it as best as I can with a wet qtip and off I go to get dressed.

Since the weather looked ok, I wore a striped AE top with an eBase blazer, paired with a grey denim skirt from Guess and my favourite Arnold Palmer boots. The outfit looked ok, but I didn't have time to accesorize, and threw on a jacket and rushed out the door, only to remember I didn't have my keys nor the stuff I was planning on mailing. As I rushed out the door, my mother assigned me the mission impossible: getting a Christmas present for my older cousin's husband.

I brainstormed on the way to Metro about what I'd get him. Seriously, I barely knew him. He met my cousin when they were both studying English in this college when they first came to Vancouver five years ago. My cousin was 20 and he was 21. They dated, moved to Calgary, and got married last year. My cousin's husband spoils my cousin, and my cousin in turn abuses him. LoL. So much for female empowerment in my family. Anyway, I had no idea what to get him, because everytime he comes over to Vancouver for holidays, he would spoil me as well, and treats me like his little sister. But that's all I know about him, I don't know what he likes or wants. I wanted to get him a scarf, but I was in Metro, and the most high-end store in Metro is like what, AX? AX is fine, I guess, but they didn't have scarves in their store! There are a couple of retail stores that carry Versace, Armani, and other A-List brands, but none of them carried scarves or the scarves were hideous. I even walked into the department store, because they occasionally carry Hugo Boss etc.

After about an hour of fruitless searching, I was about to give up. Before I left the mall, I walked into Bluenotes to check out some graphic t-shirts and BANG, I saw this amazing graphic shirt staring at me. It was this gray shirt with a gift box printed over it, and the slogan was "I'm Gifted". I bought it for my cousin's husband, and bought a shirt that says "Dear Santa, I want everything. Xoxo." For myself.

I also picked up a Vichy concealer pencil and a The Face Shop lipbrush. The lipbrush is make of weasel hair! What the fuck? Weasel hair? But the brush was solid yet the hairs were really soft. So I'm happy. Wanted to pick up a pink lip stick, but couldn't find a shade I like. Oh well, I have enough lip glosses to last me awhile.

This entry will end abruptly now.
