As I sat down to blog, I ran through several options...
I could blog on that everymommy moment you have while at a childs' birthday party where another parent is telling you how many times their children have thrown up in the past 48 hours. I could blog about how the ninjanizer thought it was funny to copy Dash and crawl while dragging his head along the carpet - only to give himself a wicked case of carpet burn across his nose and forehead. I could blog about how I swear the ninjanizer is going through puberty and I'm thinking of employing my grandmothers' methods and telling him that his junk will fall off if he doesn't stop playing with it. Or was it that he would go blind? I forget. I may use both.
But instead, I think I'll blog about what I consider to be one of the top three things I totally dig about being a woman. Makeup. Now I have to think of the other two... I'll go with having babies and (EARMUFFS TO FAMILY) multiple orgasms.
Anyway, it all started with a conversation between me and the ninjanizer the other day...

Fin: Mommy, I like her makeup. It's green. I think she's a Ninjanizer.
Mommy: Maybe mommy should try that...
Now, I should know, between the black fingernail polish and the horrid orange toenail polish that I've been rocking lately, allowing the ninjanizer to make my fashion decisions isn't necessarily a sound plan. I mean, this is a kid who wants to put on his furry giraffe print uggs as soon as he gets home and then won't allow them to be pried off of his sweaty little feet until he's passed out cold. But still I needed to get out of the all-browns-and-beiges-with-a-hint-of-black rut I've been in, so green seemed as good a color as any I guess.
We had a costume-themed birthday party today and I figured that this was a good time to try some experimental makeup...

So what do you think? I think it turned out pretty neat. I think I might try all blues tomorrow. Of course, that is if the kids will give me more than two seconds of peace in the morning!

Very Rock and Roll. I can see the Katy Perry inspired look! BTW, I thought if boys played with their junk, thair palms would get covered with hair. I don't have brothers so I could be wrong!!! Love the picks from the b-day party!!

ahhhh, good one. I'll add that to my arsenal :)
Love it! I've a bucket filled with browns and beiges, and one pot of green eyeshadow, which, when I wear it, I blend it so much that it is pretty much nonexistant. I'll have to give it a shot and see if I can't just leave it alone after application. I could stand to bust a rut!
I wear purple eyeshadow all the time. Or I wear purple eyeliner. color as eyeliner on the bottom lid or as a liner with subdued shadows is a great way to start experimenting. I like the green though. I used to wear a super tacky blue eye combo to Michigan games so maybe I'm not the best to ask, but I like the pop of green on your eyes. In fact I recommend playing around with Pop beauty's eye color kits.
But Fin really has orange toes?
You redheads can totally rock the purple. I did a crazy turquiose the other day but forgot to take a pic - I'm certainly enjoying myself though ;)
And yes, I had to change the orange on my toes and Fin was very upset so I said I'd paint his (which made Brooks very upset) but I told him that since it was manly orange it was ok!
