Debbers! It feels good to be back "on the regular." I don't know why but that little phrase cracked me up!
Where you working these days?

I can't do the smokey eye either. I just look like I've got a black eye. Bronzer, still can't do it, so major props to you for making it work. I might have to check out this Dream Matte Mouse formula.

The Notebook is such a great movie. I cry everytime. Crash, I liked, but everyone else in my family didn't care for it.

Kisses to Malachi! xoxo!

Anners..
Sorry about the no sleeping thing. I know it has to be getting annoying.
I'm all about the Neutrogena Lash Tint. It's the only mascara, well it's not really a mascara..just a tint, that doesn't give me racoon eyes. I thought Wenxiao's mom was crazy. You two cool now?
For good eyeshadows y'all should both try Milani. They're sold at Target, Walgreens, and CVS and they're really good quality with lots of pigment. I think the line started out being geared primarily toward women of color, but then they became so popular with all races that they've expanded their advertising a little. Their foundations and such are still primarily for women of color though.
Anywho, that's a great cheap drugstore brand to try. Higher end stuff you should totally try NARS. Their blushes are fanflippintastic.
Skip the pencil all together. They're typically too harsh and you have to do a lot of blending. You should totally invest in a product called Browzings, it's by a company called Benefit. It's a tinted wax and powder and it makes your brows looks natural and well groomed. I got mine at Macy's but you can probably get it at any department store or Sephora.

And Oh My Lanta, I love that hair cut. I think it would be super cute on you!

I have Netflix now so it helps me keep up with what I wanna see and have seen. Pan's Labyrinth is most definitely on my list.

Lol... I think you may be a tinsy bit buzzed, no?
I'm glad you're feeling so good. :)
What did the verification thingy say?

I really wish I could spend my whole life like this:

relaxed from tai chi

happy from the party at the Carp

(teensy bit happier from that shot of Irish whiskey ^^)

full from oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and artichoke dip

(better combo than it sounds)

and just- hopeful

...

I'm gonna go to bed and spend some time with my ball of sunshine and love.




ps. the word verify swore at me in shizzle speak ^^

I want to go McHacky on my hair and do something like this:



Yes? No? Any short haired girl love? I need a lop a lot off anyway, haven't trimmed it in AGES- I have almost 6 inches of growth. Very naughty Anna, need to keep up with these things. But yes? No? You guys actually know what my face looks like. Sort of. I don't look quite the same as I did last time you saw me in person, but I know I posted pics of the last Big Haircut.

Eh. I will continue to toil. Also! Any recommendations for a good medium brown eyebrow pencil? They always seem to be a) too blonde, b) too red or c) too dark. I need something that's *brown* and the trial/error process is starting to get to me.

Insane non-sleeping the other night. Oh my god, I was losing my mind... I kept trashing around involuntarily and everything in my head was one big jumbled mess- 10 different trains of thought smushed into one. It was not. fun. No more of that for Anna, please.

I'm such an el cheapo with my make up (surprise surprise) I'd love to spend the money on the good stuff, but I pretty much stick to Loreal, CoverGirl, etc. I have a thing of Clinique mascara that I *love*- no clumping, no flaking, it doesn't bother my contacts (yay!) and it's super easy to get off (yay!) Interesting thing? I got it from Wenxiao's mom (yepp. I'm down with Yilin)

I saw The Prestige! That's actually why I asked the question ^^ 300 *definitely* looks like a big screen movie and people keep telling me it's really good. I still want to see Pan's Labyrinth, but that'll have to be a rental :/ Amelie- I want to see it, but I always forget. I really need to make a list.

I love The Notebook *warm and fuzzy*

Hey Hey Hey...The Bug is here on the regular!! How freakin cool is that!?!?! The coolest if you ask me!! I don't have a lot of time to talk, seeing as how I'm at work and I'm not even really supposed to be on here, but I just wanted to pop in a say hey...Love Love...and maybe a few other things!

Make-Up...Love it...Mama will be very proud to know that I am all about a brown mascara. I've been experiementing a little myself. I cannot for the life of me do the smokey look with the eyeshadow though, so I've just been focusing on making my eyes look bigger. Oh, and bronzer...for the longest time, I thought that I was too white to wear it, but the Maybelline dream matte bronzer is really cool because it just gives me a little bit of color on my face and still looks like I can tan!!

Movies...Hm. I don't think I've really seen anything new lately, but I have re-visited some old ones. Not to mention, I've watched The Notebook like 20 times in the last few weeks because I just love it that much. lol. Webb and I watched Crash the other night...that's another one of my favorites.

Gotta go, ladies, but I love you and miss you oh so much! Malachi sends kisses too!!!!

I'm with you on the sleeping thing. Sometimes I just wanna sleep so bad that I get mad and start thrashing about in my bed. lol.. It's no fun to be tired and not be able to sleep.

I normally don't wear a lot of color until the spring/summer months. But I do like color...a lot. I have every color of the rainbow in shadows, and I have some pretty intense blushes. I've been obsessed with blushes lately. Oh yeah, what kind of makeup do you use? Have you jumped on the mineral makeup bandwagon yet?

I watched The Prestige and The Departed about two weeks ago. They're probably the best movies I've seen in a while. Even my mom was blown away by The Prestige. It was miles above The Illusionist. Did you see that one? Totally a half-assed story line.
I wanna say I've seen something about this Host movie a while ago. I may be wrong. I'm wanting to see 300. Gerard Butler...mmmmmm.
This is not a new movie, but have you ever seen Amelie? It's one of my favorites.
