Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation!!!! And a Great Cause...

It finally came!!! I will absolutely post a review on it once I've tried, probably on both Youtube and on here. First impressions. Silky!! It feels like a primer, and yes it does contain Silica. After removing this foundation, my skin feels super soft like actual silk, really hydrated and smooth. It seems to blend really well, even without a primer underneath it. Color is AMAZINGLY pale!!!! This foundation will need a setting powder!

This Thursday I'll have a chance to try it, because my boyfriend's mom is hosting a costume party for Movember. The theme of this year's party is: Heroes and Villains... so is should be the perfect place! The party will be held in Aspen, and I believe its open to the public... if not, Just tell them that your Penny's Guest! (Can't guarantee anything, but worth a try. ^_^')

Movember: “The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.

Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.

In 2004 the campaign evolved and focused on raising awareness and funds for the number one cancer affecting men – prostate cancer. 432 Mo Bros joined the movement that year, raising $55,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - representing the single largest donation they had ever received.

The Movember moustache has continued to grow year after year, expanding to the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Finland.

In 2009, global participation of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas climbed to 255,755, with over one million donors raising $42 Million US equivalent dollars for Movember’s global beneficiary partners.”

I got this directly from the Movember Foundation website: Here's the link...http://us.movemberfoundation.com/
I think this is a great cause because Prostate cancer is one of the least talked about cancers, and all of the proceeded go to finding a cure! You can find out more about Movember by clicking that link and going to the “About Movember” tab.

So I guess that's all I have for now... I will post the location of the party as soon as I can.

I GOT MY KEYBOARD!!! And Rant on Ubuntu...

sssssssssss

Muahahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! That's all of the characters I couldn't type before yesterday!!!! Which means I just got mu new keyboard and I'm super happy!!! Now I'm reformatting...

BTW Ubuntu, the netbook version, Unity, SUCKS!!!! I can't move the application/task bar.... WTF.. Ubuntu is supposed to be the MOST customizable Software out there.... So Why is it that I can't have the Task bar exactly where I want it??? Okay I wouldn't mind if it was a slim task bare like the top and bottom bars in Ubuntu... but this thing is HUGE!!! It takes up so much room on the left hand side of the monitor that I can barely focus on anything else!!! And you can't make it disappear!! Like the windows task bar.. which I love, but I'm sick of getting viruses!!! Fucking Trojans!!! Piss me off all the time.... every time I look up Kanji I get a fucking virus!!!! Why? Idk... supposedly Asian web sites are notorious for viruses... I know, I know, SUPER stereotypical... but whatever...

Back to the Task Bar... I guess if your Vertically minded it would be okay, but I'm not, in fact, most people aren't. And no it isn't something I can just GET USED TO... I can't focus because its vertical... Its simply not how I think or function. And If your going to use Gnome... then why have the netbook version at all... Especially when the desktop version is soooooooooo much more customizable...

My Solution... I'm going to try Ubuntu Mint, which is supposedly more like Windows...

Okay, I've ranted enough... If anyone has questions or something to add, please leave me a comment!

S.O.P.H.I.E.

Today was Sophie Lancaster's Birthday, she would have been 24. S.O.P.H.I.E. stands for Stamp Out Prejudice, Hate, & Intolerance Everywhere. I know Illamasqua is one place where you can donate to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, there are others too, mostly theater companies. If you don't know who Sophie Lancaster was, she was, in my opinion, a BEAUTIFUL young woman, who was viciously attacked by a group of teens for being Goth. Her and her boyfriend were walking home from a park and were attacked. Her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, recovered,though he was in a coma for quite a while. Sophie actually saved his life by covering him with her body! Sophie, however, never regained consciousness and later died from the wounds she had sustained.

This, for sure, isn't the only place that an attack like this has occurred, but it did get pretty astounding media attention. But today is one of those days where we "Subculture Freaks", a term I use Lovingly, can really band together. No matter where we place on the subculture field, this is one of those days we can really support each other.

S.O.P.H.I.E

Happy Thanksgiving!

Even thought I don't exactly practice this holiday, I think its a nice custom. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!

Why I don't Use Waterproof...

When I was first getting into makeup, I would always wear waterproof mascara. Alas, it was so hard to take off that I eventually just kept it on. Now I wasn't one of those girls that would pack it on everyday, I'd apply my mascara on Monday and wear it till Friday. I know that that's complete un-hygienic, but what can I say... I was young, and foolish.... After a while though I started to notice my eyesight getting worse... not just my eyesight.... but because my eyes are SUPER sensitive they would almost always be irritated. So I eventually just stopped wearing mascara, and when I got back into it, I, now, only wear the regular kind. Honestly, I don't notice a difference between regular and waterproof. Any mascara is going to wear off in the pool... but I don't really cry, the rain/snow doesn't seem to effect it, I don't get smudges, and I don't get clumping. The only difference I notice is that regular mascara is sooooo much easier to get off.

Review: Disana Muslin Facial Cloths

I recently ordered this from ebay, my seller was schoopanella_oznz... Great seller definitely worth checking out!!!! Originally, I wasn't going to do a review on these, but they actually work really well!!! I bought this three pack for about eight dollars minus shipping. These cloths work amazingly!!! Even after using them once, my skin is smoother, softer, and the rest of my acne is clearing up!! I first learned about Muslin cloths from Klaire de Lys... she's amazing and I also recommend her. This link is to her blog, but she also has a youtube. I've been using these for about a week, little less, and their 100% cotton. I hand wash mine, but the package says they can be machine washed ans tumbled dry on low heat. To use these cloths, you simply wet the cloth, wipe your face to wet it, apply your cleaner, NOT EXFOLIATOR!!! These cloths exfoliate your skin naturally! Then wash you face as usual. 10 out of 10.
