It’s not the end of the world, and it’s easy enough to cover them, but part of me says … that’s my lip! I’m a perfectionist! I can’t! It’s a lesson in the Japanese practice of “wabi-sabi”, [...] By Sheila Arkee And now for the total breakdown on the look for today’s Breaking Down Beauty. I can never say no to a fabulous fuschia eye!

I used Maybelline’s Color Tattoo shadow in Fierce & Tangy to give the gold duochrome lid shadow [...] By Sheila Arkee Because sometimes I can’t deal with the whole process of nail polish drying, I’ve been avoiding doing my nails for a while. All it took was a flashy dark blue and flakie top coat to reel me back in. The combo is delicious – I can’t stop looking down at my sparkly nails. Now [...] By Sheila Arkee I made the conscious decision to revoke my membership in the Singles Awareness Day club. You know what, at the end of this chocolate/roses/hearts filled day, it is just another day. A thought came to my mind a while ago – if you’re wondering why love hasn’t found you yet, [...] By Sheila Arkee I hate to admit it, but this look is inspired by Kyle’s makeup on the Real Mean Girls of Beverly Hills reunion show.
