drowning in my id

sometimes i feel for all my good intent to continuously evolve my look and be somewhat more polished and pulled together in my older age (bah!), i'll always be a gutter punk at heart... because these tatters, layers and reverse ombre hair... definitely feelin it!

you could stop a clock

As I sit here slowly melting and trying to figure out what to wear to the Macy’s 4^th of July fireworks (air conditioning is over-rated… and actually over-priced in NYC… damn doubled electricity bill!), the one thing I’m actually not concerned with is my make up… Last week I was fortunate to be invited to a preview of the new Stila Loves Roxy waterproof make up collection where I was treated to a mini makeover and given a few amazing samples to try out at home.

Available now in Quiksilver and Roxy flagship stores, as well as online, the collection includes custom-designed packaging of a special selection of Stila’s best selling waterproof and SPF products including Stila’s first ever sparkle waterproof eyeliner.

The new eyeliners are undoubtedly my personal favorite of the bunch… Available in three fabulous colors- Sequins (black), Royal (purple) and Bora Bora (teal)- this stuff not only looks great but it. does. not. budge. Seriously! I took some Bora Bora our for a test spin to see a friend’s open mic performance on one of the muggiest nights of the year and the liner remained in place and totally vibrant the entire evening. Major thumbs up! I’ve also been into doing a thick wing in Royal and then subtley contouring the rest of my eyes with “Beach” and “Bronzed”, two of four eye shadows included in the travel palette. The palette also includes cheek color and a bronzing powder, giving you everything you need to create a gorgeous beachy look, concrete jungle be damned!

So now if you’ll excuse me, I'm off to get my fireworks on… Happy 4^th everyone!
