When One Link in the Chain is Missing, It Does Not Go Unnoticed.

We are transient beings. The things that surround us, our situations, our emotions...these are all fleeting,always coming into and out of existence after varying lengths of time.So when you're upset, take solace in knowing that it may seem like forever,but its never permanent...and when you're happy treasure it because that too can change.And never underestimate the effect we have on each other, because sometimes all it takes is one simple action shift the scale one way or another.

A freshman at my college committed suicide on campus yesterday. Even though I didn't know her or am no longer on campus, it still affected me and my mood today. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Sadly, it is not until times like this that we remember we are part of a greater community or make it known that we are always here for each other.

Just felt like sharing some current news. =/

Foundations and Books

I've been somewhat on the hunt for another foundation. I love Graftobian...but I prefer a liquid for most occasions.

So I picked up the Maybelline FIT ME foundation.

Mix for perfect shade! (for me anyway)

I didn't have a problem with the wear or even the formula which made me happy. However, I did have an issue with the color that mixing didn't end up resolving for me. The mixed color seemed like a match, but it wasn't as close in undertone as others that I've already tried. Long story short, my search continues.

Bought myself a book for my birthday (22 on the 27th) since I haven't really wanted anything makeup or life related. (The above isn't really an immediate want or need since I still have something I can use...kind of just passing time)

The book is called Makeup Is Art by Jana Ririnui & Lan Nguyen.

I haven't read it yet, but flipping through it, it looks pretty promising. The pictures are gorgeous and visuals catch my attention quickly.

Anyhow. That's all for this update.
