Hey pretty people! I hope you can still forgive me for not writing again. I have been super busy as I’m sure you all have. Today I have a rant for you. Not necessarily about beauty, but bare with me. Over break, I went to a pub in downtown Naperville. When I was there, I ordered a drink and they checked my ID. Apparently, they refuse to accept any IDs with red on them. Huh? But I’m 21. Yeah, I guess that doesn’t matter to them. They said they only accepted it 2 weeks after you turn 21. Well, it had been 3 weeks. And I was going to the DMV the next day. Too bad for me. I am still outraged over this. My license is a legal document and is valid. WHY CAN’T YOU ACCEPT IT PEOPLE?!

Luckily, I don’t have to worry about this anymore because I did get it renewed. Now, we all have had our drivers licenses since we were 16 (well, most of us) and we all have had to live with those pictures since we were 16. Renewing your license is a chance to finally have a fabulous picture.

With that in mind, I smudged charcoal eyeliner on my lids, darkened my brows, swiped my lashes with my Diorshow mascara and put rosy blush on my cheeks. After being at the DMV for an hour and a half, I was finally ready to take my picture. The pièce de résistance of my look was the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme that I put on right before camera time.

This lip plumper actually works because it has something in it that stings your lips, so your lips swell and get a hint of red color. They sting for a few minutes and then voilà! Plumped, pretty lips with a glossy sheen over them.

I thought this look would be good for my picture, but alas, I forgot about the florescent lighting. A girl’s worst enemy. Of course my picture turned out looking ugly, again, and I am now resolved to the fact that I will never have a decent license picture. Why won’t people learn that florescent lighting isn’t good for anyone??

But life goes on and I will just have to live with my picture!

To get the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, check out good ole Sephora.com. It’s $27.50 and right now Sephora is offering free shipping with orders over $50. Christmas presents anyone?

Also, I would love to know what you all think about this concept. Good or bad idea?

Let me know! MUAH. xoxoxo
