It’s a little early for 2014 retrospective posts, but I also don’t want to wait to write this one. It’s not been a great year for internet culture. We had GamerGate. We had ShirtGate.

You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been writing as much this month. I thought about waiting until December and then posting about how I was boycotting blogging because I think National Blog Post Month/National Novel Writing Month are ridiculously stupid.

It’s no secret that I’m a make up junkie since the age of 5 (blame Lip Smackers, every make up girl’s entrance drug). From drug stores to high-end specialty stores and mascara to nail polish, if it’s make up, I’ve probably tried it. Love it or hate it, I have overflowing drawers
