Unintentional Rasta EOTD & some very unfortunate drama
I guess the first thing I should say here is that I received the eyeshadow in shade "Raw Shock" for free. Veronica, being the darling that she is, sent me 3 sample size eyeshadows and one full size (of Sugar, the perfect white I've talked about, yay!) eyeshadow for free. It was such a great surprise for me when I got home from Texas and found a nice little package I didn't even order. :) As you all know, Hi Fi is my favorite company ATM, and has been actually ever since I first tried Veronica's products. I'm trying to DRASTICALLY cut my spending on makeup right now, like $40 per paycheck or less. There's a sale at Hi Fi right now so I know where that money's going, teehee.
This look ended up looking all Rasta-y, I didn't see that at all when I planned it. Unfortunately, pictures never look as good as the real thing. IRL this looked soooo much better- Raid the King looked like it had this kind of glow to it with the way I blended it. I feel like my looks as of late have been pretty sub-par, so I was really happy with how beautifully this turned out. No full face pics cus I looked icky today and my lips are all dry and fucked up.

The last picture is pretty dead on. LOVE ITAnd now here's something not pretty or nice, and it really saddens me that I'm talking about something like this. I recently found a great new blog, but by unfortunate circumstances- by hearing about the drama surrounding her and Miss K of Aromaleigh. If you visit her blog, you will see the post she made about her recent Aromaleigh order. If you read the comments, you can see the things Miss K said to her, the highlights of those including calling her a "lying, selfish person", a "nasty, unappreciative thing"... etc. She also said she didn't want her as a customer anymore. It doesn't matter WHAT Jennifae said (even though what she did say was extremely fucking mild)- what Miss K said to her is not just unprofessional as a business owner, but it's plain fucking mean and nasty. You don't treat people that way, ESPECIALLY if they are a paying customer- ever. You can read the review and see for yourself. I also took screenshots of Miss K's finest moments here, in case she sees the anger she has caused in me and other readers, and takes down her comments. I don't know if she thought she could get away with saying things like that to someone because their blog is new and small, and she didn't think anyone would find out, or what. I don't care. I am truly in utter disbelief she could ever say things like that to someone, especially considering how completely unprovoked it was. I can't tell you where to shop, but I will say I am never ordering from Aromaleigh again.On that downer note, I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. To cheer you up, here is baby sloth (from Cute Overload, obvs)
