LIFE LESSONS 232

It's true what they say about the stages you go through in life. Denial. Anger. Acceptance. All those things don't happen as clearly as the books with tell you. Reality is a soup. Everything happens all at the same time. Just because you can't get over the dark parts in your life, does not mean you can't get to the good ones. Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest places.

Makeup Quiz! Part 1

1. When did you start putting on makeup?
o If that sticky dollarstore eye gel glitter and teal thick liner counts – I’d have to say grade 7! Where I got that idea, I don’t think I even want to know lol



2. How did you learn to put on makeup?
o Mainly self-taught, when I realized I had a passion for it I did a private course with Jannel of Sacha Cosmetics, then Sheridan for a couple smaller courses. After you know the basics it’s just a matter of looking at images, practicing and teaching yourself. I definitely want to take a couple months for advanced training now though and push myself past the box I’ve created around myself!

3. Favorite Brand?
o Cant pick one! I LOVE LOVE LOVE NARS <3 Their colours, textures, longitivity... amazing. Love Sacha because the yellow tones in foundations, Makeup Forever, some MAC and I’m working on developing and launching my own line and already I’m in love with some of the products – completely natural, vegan organic super smooth khol liner, Luxury Mink Lashes, and bronzer/body/highlight – perfection in a jar! (Love, Neelu)



4. Do you like wearing foundation? If so, what's your color & favorite?



o You’d be shocked by my foundation collection LOL. I use to love it, love the finish but I’m really trying to cut back, switch to minerals and take care of my skin! When I go out – it’s a must. What do I use?

- NC40 MAC Pro Longwear, Studio Pro, Studio Fix) [NC42 in summer]

6. Do you like/wear false lashes? If yes, strip or individual?


 LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Did I stress that enough? I LOVE lashes so much I’m developing my own custom sets! Strip lashes, individuals require too much maintenance for me. One of my favorites right now are from my Luxury Lash Collection (bit of tweaking but I’m seriously in love) Super natural, light weight, fluffy ahhhh <3






7. Favorite eye shadow color?

o Oooooouuuuuuuuuuuu this is a hard one. How about pigmet instead? Mac Reflects on top of anything (the real ones, not bootleg) make any shadow look amazing!
