Not want to be born again?

Long story short, I wanted to sign up for this Korean website so I could figure out how to order their clothes. I clicked Google Translate to try to fill out the form and realized that their 'forgot password' questions are WAY more interesting than ours are.


Can you imagine if you tried to sign up for Zappos or something, and the security question was about reincarnation?

On a side note, my dad once forgot his security question answer for the bank and had to talk to customer service for a long time to get it straightened out. The question was "Where would you most like to go on vacation?" and he guessed so many places, then had to answer a ton of other things when he couldn't guess the answer. After about an hour on the phone, they worked it all out. He asked the bank guy what his original answer to the question had been and the guy said, "Staying home."

Kiss Me Heroine Make

Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl mascara
I don't usually blog about beauty products, but I switched mascaras a few months ago and for the first time in my life am getting compliments on my eyelashes! My lashes are long, but they point straight down, and until I discovered this mascara, there was basically nothing I could do about it. No amount of curling or curling mascara or even heat curling made any difference; I could curl and apply mascara and within about five minutes, they'd be back down, pointing toward the ground.

I borrowed this mascara from a friend and for the first time, my lashes stay curled and up all day! And this mascara does not move! There's no smudging or flaking, and I can even wear it to the gym and rinse my face afterward. The catch is that because it's so long wearing, it's hard to get off. I use Boscia MakeUp BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil and smear some on my eye area while I brush my teeth, then wash it off. There's also a remover made especially for this mascara that works fairly well.

Just look at the difference!

so sad, so straight

so happy, so curly!

I can see you.....
Is it creepy looking at my eyes like that? Sorry.

Long story short, this is the only mascara I use anymore, and I can't even think of what I'd switch to if they stopped making this. The Long and Curl is pictured and linked, but I'm wearing the Volume and Curl. I don't like the brush on the original (skinny in the middle, fat on the ends) but the new version (with a black top and pink bottom) has a regular brush. You can get it online on Ebay or Amazon, but I recommend Sasa, my favorite Hong Kong makeup and skincare store. They ship to the US for only $6 and have a ton of other stuff I love! More recommendations to come!
