My First Comic Book #LOTD 1

Hello and welcome to #LOTD (it means "Look of the Day"). I will post these on Fridays because I aspire to become a beautiful lady on Fridays. In this series, I will feature a weekly makeup and/or fashion look plus product breakdowns and tips, as appropriate. I decided to do this because I'm filling up Google with really unflattering photos of myself due to the Acne Experiment posts. This is an attempt to find balance.

Each LOTD will open with a music video to listen to while you read this, and maybe while you're getting ready for your night too! I'm watching Silence of the Lambs right now, so I chose "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzurus:

The inaugural LOTD coincides with my first ever comic book purchase. I decided on Issue 1 of Bitch Planet because Kelly Sue DeConnick is a boss ass bitch.

I've read comic books before, but this was the first I've ever bought on my own. Here's a closer look:

I'm wearing a shirt with little birds on it from H&M. It's one of my favorite recent purchases, but it wrinkles something awful. The railroad stripe jeans are from JCrew and the shoes are Vans.

The lipstick is Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in "Cruella"

I'm wearing eye makeup too. It's a new palette I bought off Amazon by Sleek (Vintage Romance). If you're looking for inexpensive eyeshadow to play with, they make a ton of fun ones. Here's a closer look:

If you're going to do a cheaper eyeshadow, eyelid primer really helps. I tried this palette without it, and the shimmery eyeshadow fell off over the course of a few hours. I used a cheap-ass primer by ELF (seriously, it cost me 70 cents) and it helped with the longevity and color payoff a bit.

See you next time!
