Mean Girls

SO! Yes I love this picture... I must say the background is a LILY PULITZER print, but I loved it and wanted to borrow it for this saying. Which is very clear and straight forward, and is something that has been bothering me forever. Mean Girls is a movie not a lifestyle. Uh, yea I LOVE that movie, just about as much as I love Clueless, but being a bully is no trait you should be proud of having. And honestly is one of the problems that is seldom addressed in school. Now myself, I was mean to the mean girls I ever came across so they knew not to go there with me, but I also had to stick up for many people who couldn't stick up for themselves. Yea yea, I know a lot of pretty girls think they can do whatever they want cause they have flawless hair... but we have all forgotten about your pretty hair and are now focused on your ugly personality. Now, we are all obsessed with makeup, clearly, but what I really want is for us women and young girls to figure out a way to actually get along with each other. Stop competing with everyone around us, or throwing our insecurities on other people to bring them down with us. Everyone should be happy in their own skin, their own makeup, their own clothes, and with who they truly are. Too many of us make decisions because we are focused on what others think. Have you ever heard the quote "do whatever makes you happy because you will get judged anyways"? Well it's true. WHO GIVES what others think about you. And most importantly, stop bullying each other. Stop pointing and laughing, whispering and giggling... and most importantly keep your hands and hurtful words to yourselves. Let's all succeed and love lipstick together. Let's be real, women are a very powerful force, if we changed the way we interacted, we may one day finally get paid more than men. haha whatevs.. but really ladies lets be nice. And shout out to all the amazing guys that rock makeup better than I do. You are all my heroes!!! muah, STAY TRUE and BE KIND!

Loving it!!

So as far as blogs are concerned, I would much rather have conversations than to tell you how to do makeup. Plus, there's plenty of other blogs that are successful in coaching you along the way anyways!! So I would rather be here as a friend, we can have conversations, relate to one another, see resemblances or differences.. Whichever, I don't exactly want to be a teacher. This may be because I was never taught how to do makeup, I had older sisters who I always admired.. But nobody ever taught me how to do anything. I am very visual, which means that is the language I speak. I understand through pictures, so I translate through pictures. Which is why I can appreciate blogs that show you along the way, and especially tell you what products they are using. The beautiful Bobbi Mechelle from Arizona, has a great beauty blog called bobbimechelle@wordpress.com. Not only does she have a great blog, but she was kind enough to use Elle Michelle Cosmetics lipstick, "confident" which is a matte, brick red shade. These are the moments I live for. I love seeing women across the country using my product, and especially enjoying it. And it is extremely fun for me to get to shout them out as well! So this is for you Bobbi, thank you for putting my product on your blog, I very much appreciate your support!!! - Lauren Michelle
