Musings of a City Girl

Katy Perry (and Perez Hilton)

I am thinking about chopping it off…my hair that is ha ha ha. I want to get what is referred to as a “collar bob,” similar to the cut Katy Perry (above) and Heidi Klum (below) are sporting. However I am having a difficult time deciding.

On one hand it will give me a more mature look. I’m going for that cutthroat executive look. My baby face does not say that at all lol. However, if I go short that means having to spend extra time on my hair each morning.

On the other hand my hair does not grow fast. If I hate it, I am stuck with the shorter hair. I don’t think I’ll hate it but I’m just concerned I’ll like my longer hair more. Short hair means no pony tails. I could still have one but it will look like the end of a broom, like a tiny bush sticking out of the scrunchie. Not cute. But no pony tails are good because wearing them constantly caused a lot of breakage.

Obviously this is ridiculous and not a real problem. I just don’t know what I want. I am so risk averse it is ridiculous. It is astounding that I was a finance major. You guys can relate right? Sometimes making drastic changes can be difficult. But I feel like new life chapter=new hair.

Heidi Klum

So what do you think? Should I stay or should I chop?

After my post on my Eyeliner Woes yesterday, I tried Make Up For Ever Aqua Black Waterproof Cream Shadow (available at Sephora) on my waterline and guess what..success! I was a little hesitant to try it because I was not sure if it was safe for the waterline. I’m still not sure, but I wore it for a few hours and my eyeballs didn’t fall out so it is safe on me ha ha ha.

It was a little faded by the time I checked 5 hours later. However, it held up a lot better than anything else I tried. No raccoon eyes here.

Thanks for all of your helpful suggestions. I am sure that others having  my issues will find them helpful as well.

My watery eyes are my “Achilles heel” when it comes to makeup. I don’t mind reapplying eyeliner but I have yet to find an eyeliner that will stay longer than 10 minutes on my waterline.

I have tried:

• Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner – partially came off within 15 minutes.
• MAC Fluidline – not safe for the waterline for a reason. This baby burned.
• MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil – the infamous Feline runs all over the place.
• Stila Kajal Eyeliner – just as runny as Feline.
• MAC Technakohl Eyeliner – didn’t last.
• MAC Eye Kohl – bust.
• Setting it with eye shadow trick – wild guess…didn’t do the trick either.
• NARS Eye Liner Pencil – womp womp womp!
• Benefit Bad Gal – No surprise here.

This is not to say that these eyeliners are bad. These lemons end up being used on my lids and lash-line. Many people praise these liners that work for their waterlines. I am, however, a special case. Nothing I try works.

What are your holy grail eye liners that stay on your waterline without giving you raccoon eyes? Maybe your favorite will be the answer to my eyeliner woes.

After writing a post on my love of Steve Madden shoes, I feel like making a video on my shoe collection and show you what my style is like in something besides makeup.

Would you be vehemently opposed to a video of my shoe collection? So much so that you would unsubscribe to me on YouTube? Vote in the poll below.

Are you as obsessed with MAC as I am?

Do you stare at the upcoming collections and make mental lists of what you want to get even though you will completely disregard them once you see the collections in person? (more…)
