Introduction

Hello and welcome to my revamped beauty blog!

I had one at snowbluebeauty.com for a while.  I had all these intentions for it, but then life happened and it fizzled out.  Why did I pay for a blog anyway?  Sometimes I do impulsive things.  I'm human.

I've realized I don't want to "be a blogger" (like with a blogging schedule) but it would be nice to have a home for reviews longer than one or two words on Instagram.  Most people don't actually read Instagram anyway; you're looking at pictures and moving on by.

The name: I'm covered in blue tattoos.  I've been called names relating to my extreme pallor my entire life.  Snow White is probably the most positive of them.  I'm not that white anymore; I'm blue.  Put the two together.  There you go.

What's going to be coming:

  • Product reviews, although not a huge amount!  I am not going to be doing huge hauls and reviews just for the sake of having content.  I'll review things as the mood strikes.
  • Tutorials, sometimes.  Pics of looks without instructions are more likely if I'm honest.
  • Project pans, maybe.  These appeal to me.  I haven't done one yet.  I have a hoard.  Not like hoarder level hoard.  It's more like a stunted adolescent dragon's hoard.  Still, a hoard.  Do I need to keep adding to it?  Not really.  I'm trying to be more conscientious about my choices and avoid excessive crass consumption. It's a work in progress.
  • Organization and maintenance.  This is an ongoing issue that I have.  Another reason to stop hoarding.
  • Talking about specific issues that I have.  Examples include numerous allergies, pale skin, dry skin, hooded lids, and I guess just getting older.  I look young but I'm over 40.  
  • Possibly some hair stuff.  I'm not great at hair.  I'm one of those people who can spend a happy forty five minutes on eye makeup alone but then feel like spending five minutes on hair is sucking my will to live.  And this is why I have long hair.
  • Nails?  
  • Tattoos: Deciding on them, picking an artist, aftercare, etc.  Common questions that I'm asked.  Pro tip: If you see someone covered in 100% blue tattoos, don't ask if they're ever going to add color.  Stop yourself from speaking, pull out your phone, and Google the primary colors.  
  • Anything else that strikes my fancy.  There will likely be corgis involved.

**Disclaimer: I'm just sharing my experiences here.  If it helps you, awesome.  If you end up jacking up your expensive makeup, don't come for me.  This is just what worked for me!  It began with the Snow White palette.  Besame's Snow White palette is freaking beautiful but the packaging, while gorgeous, is irritating as heck to use.  You have to hold pages out of the way every time you want to use an eye shadow.  You can use hands or figure out something with a headband or clip but one way or another, you have to hold pages out of your way.  So I wasn't using the palette.  I paid too much money to not use it!  Time to depot, by which I mean remove each individual pan from the original palette and place it in alternative packaging.  This is not about train depots.  Two different words.  Just saying. The Snow White palette was cake to depot.  The glue isn't too sticky and there are gaps between the pans and the ca...

December 2017 Hits, Misses, & Pans

I told myself I'd update more while on break from school but the holidays happened, and everything was chaos.  So here I am with a monthly update, once again.  Just stuff I've been using. Hits: Real Techniques Instapop face brush .  This brush claims to be great for loose powders and I was struggling a little bit with my loose powders.  My brushes kicked up powder for me to inhale, but I kept applying too much when I used a sponge.  I thought I'd try this guy, and I'm glad I did!  I'm not sure what wizardry is at work but you tap it into a loose powder and the powder actually sticks in the bristles.  It doesn't get kicked up in your face when you apply.  It's similar in shape to my Hakuho-do Wedge Sloping Powder Brush , but I think softer, and it works much better with loose powder!  If you like to use loose powder, save your money and go with the Instapop. Urban Decay Troublemaker palette .  Bought this in the Sephora VIB Rouge sal...

Everyday Red Look

Image
When I wake up in the morning and I don't feel like getting dressed, that's when I'm most likely to revert to a default daily look.  In my case, that involves a lot of red.  I usually read for Modern Renaissance, but I got carried away and added some Geek Chic glittery red today too.   I'll mention a couple of products and where they were placed in the body of this post, but a full list of products is also at the end.   I got one eye right.  One.  I'll take it. The best way I managed to capture the glitter is in a blurry picture.  There's barely a speck of it showing in pics that focused properly.  So we're going with it. I now get to spend my day pretending I meant to do that to my inner corner. Fun with smile bags. I used some random pan of whitish shadow as a base shade over primer.  Then blended Realgar into my "crease" and patted Venetian Red all over the lid, blending slightly into Realgar.  Added Love...
