Up dated 2/7 Make up look of the day- pic. Post on Instagram

 I was laying in bed ,sick as usual with a holy devil of a flare, Extreme Pain  topped with  the worse Headache I have ever experienced .
(Let's just say  It felt like I was being shocked,  literally )
I had absolutely No energy to move,  Not even to cry .
I hate these days and they seem to be coming a lot sooner and more frequent!
Have I said How Much I hate This disease Called Lupus ?

 I  decided enough was enough. I had to force myself to move for the sake of my sanity . 
 I got out of bed and decided it was time to do something ,anything just to feel like I mattered to something more than just my Bed and this disease . I started to think of what I could do . 
What's easy and won't take me to long? better yet that won't drain me of the lil energy I have?
After a few failed attempts and laying back down .
My feet hit the floor and the only thing I could think of was makeup!
I know I was just going back to bed and to most people that would be a waste  but I didn't care. I just needed something to make me feel normal.  



Needless to say with just a few stops to be sick , a few times to close my eyes in hopes this electrocuting headache went away.  (Not so lucky there.)

  2 hrs later my face was highlighted, glowy and rocking a purple  smoky eye. 

 I posted the look on my Instagram acct before I was forced to sleep and 
so many of you saw my photo and asked for  a step by step for this  look. 

 So  Here Ya Go ! 
 It's almost 1 a.m and I can't sleep. Go Figure !! But that's just part of being a spoonie. Why Not Blog ?



                This was after I laid down for a few hours. 
             And yes I know I didn't finish my one brow. 
The gorgeous look is from the Makeup Revolution- Mermaids Forever palette
 colors are beyond pigmented and they last until you take them off. 
I love this Brand .
This is a high end product in my opinion but very budget friendly at just $15.00  😱💜💜.

  I started with My Almay  color +care   Liquid  Lip Balm   #600  Blooming -
            


Eyes primed with #Elizabeth Mott Thank me later 

Base color - all over lid #Maybelline Color Tattoo in -Barely Branded 
Eye shadows are not named so I will have to show you the colors i used by numbers 

1- FOREVER all over the lid to brow bone 

 2- CREATURE crease as a transition color 

 3-PRINCESS outer V and barely in  the crease 

 blend , reapply , blend (however deep you want the color )

 4-OCEAN in the outer v just to deepen color a bit more 

 5-IMAGINE on the eye lid ,but only in the middle 

 (I have hooded eyes so you really can't see any color there .)

 3 PRINCESS  & 4 OCEAN On the lower lash line (smudge out) 

 1FOREVER- on the inner Tear duct and brow bone 

 Tight line- my eyes with a black liner  from #ITCosmetics 

Mascara's Used  -1st  my base  coat -Revlon Grow Luscious waterproof in black 
2nd coat was the Revlon Bold Lacquer Grow Luscious  in black .

 I find that when i wear the Grow Luscious brand 
 My lashes are slowly growing back .
because a side effect of  having Lupus is  loosing your hair .

 On a Side Note 
If anyone knows of any remedies or products they have tried to help grow lashes and brows please let me know .

(Now to start on the foundation and covering the rash on my face .)

 #Almay CC primer in luminous complexion correcting.

 Foundation #Almay smart shade  CC cream In the shade Pale.
I used my beauty blender to lightly dab all over . 

 #ItCosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye- Concealer for under eyes Because man did they need it .






Set my Foundation with  Maybelline -Fit Me Powder 

                           
                      For my Face I used the #ItCosmetics  -My sculpted Face palette 
                            Love Love this palette it's so easy and Gorgeous 





          I chose the Bare Minerals blush in -SECRET  such a gorgeous light pink                                                      blended into the cheeks 

 I started to fill in my Brows With the Anastasia Brow pomade in Taupe .
(I didn't quite finish them Both  as you can see in my Picture. )

  Water line -with Rimmel Nude 

 And to highlight I used my Laura Geller In French Vanilla 

There, Just an easy look !

 I had originally wanted to just add a Milani Eye Shadow all over and be done But this palette was calling to me
 (It's a Miracle I could hear it over my headache) 

 If you have any questions let me know and Yes I know it would be easier for me if I had a YouTube channel But like I said Not Ready for that Yet .. Thanks for the Encouragement I truly Appreciate it.

 Now Back to a Computer game until I can take My next dose of medications and most importantly my Pain pill..








Thanks for taking the time to read as always 
Stay Strong and keep Fighting   Don'tHideEmbraceIt


   Love Always 
           Misty

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

ESSENCE MAKEUP REVIEW

Makeup can be high end and really expensive or drugstore and very budget friendly.  Just because a drugstore brand is budget friendly doesn't mean it is bad quality. Right? Recently while perusing my local Ulta store with Jayedyn                      (on the hunt for a blue eye liner )  after looking at all the different brands from Urban Decay, Ulta , Nyx etc. and coming up empty and disappointed we were ready to walk away when i suggested one more look . Tucked away on an end cap of the isle was a small product line. I had never even looked at this brand before but sitting on the shelf was the perfect blue shade of eyeliner that Jayedyn was searching for & on a 15 yr old girls budget too. I started to take a closer look at some of the products . The nail polish is what  drew me in, the colors were so pretty, it also looked like there were a few dupes for some high end products as well. I ended ...
