Looks.by.Lauren: UPDATE... Sorry for being MIA :(

Hey everyone!

So I know it's been forever since I made a video, and even longer since I blogged :( School has been killing me and I am up to my ears in homework and other projects. I feel awful for not being able to stay current with the makeup. I really do you understand. But I promise that I haven't forgotten about you. Trust me, I have more makeup looks stirring up in my head and I can't wait until I find the opportunity to share them all with you.

Also.. I am excited to say (even though it happened weeks ago) that I have finally reached 500+ subscribers!! woo! haha I know it seems small but it makes me happy :) Thank you all for subscribing to me.

But here is a cool story I heard not that long ago in one of my classes (turns out one of the girls in there is a MAC MA :D) This is the story of how mascara was created.. or so she says:

There was this girl and her name was Maybell [hmm.. the beginning of Maybelline??]. She was a lonely girl, and couldn't find herself a husband. So one day while talking to her brother, he came up with a brillliant idea. He mixed together coal and vaseline and applied the creation onto her eyelashes making her beautiful. Shortly after, she found her self a nice man and got married.

Pretty neat story huh? I really wanted to share that with you :) Of course, I amnot condoning that wearing mascara will find you a husband. A man that truly cares for you will love you for who you are and will not care whether or not you wear makeup (even though we sometimes disagree!!!).

To be honest, I haven't made it down to the MAC store in awhile. I a trying to get an early start on saving for Christmas even though I am DYING to go to MAC. haha!! I am teaching myself retraint.. at least for a little while. But, there have been a few collections released lately that I think you should check out if you have the chance :)
