Where girly meets guitar?

I've noticed that throughout these past few months I've been getting more and more girly. I first started really getting into the artistry of makeup(though I've always been interested in it) about...I'd say 8 or 9 months ago...progressively, I've been getting more and more girly...which is okay, but sometimes it's hard considering being a guitarist is not really a girly job.
I mean, there's the sweating off makeup onstage, you can't apply makeup with the fingertips on your left hand(the skin is tough and it peels, so you can't apply concealer under your eye or anything like that)...but I think what I dislike most is that I can't have really pretty nails. I use my hands so much, the polish inevitably comes off pretty soon(mind you, I paint my nails most of the time anyway) and I can't use fake nails or anything because they're too long :( It sucks, but if that's the price that it comes with, that's fine with me :)

I did go shopping yesterday, nothing too extensive. I stopped by Rue 21 and picked up a cute blue tank top- it's really pretty, it has this rainbow flower detail on the front, but it's really subtle. It brings out the blue in my eyes, which is always a big plus :) Also, I picked up this gorgeous cream and bright pink halter dress. It's really cute for summer, and it has that fitted bottom with this subtle poof- but it doesn't make me look shapeless. It's actually really flattering, so I'm very happy about that!
But best of all...of course I had to stop by The Cosmetics Company Outlet! Unfortunately, I had to limit myself to one item as I just found a new website, but we'll get to that in a sec...I was thinking about getting a paint pot, and I was going to get the Rubenesque paint pot just because its gorgeous and it would enhance so many of my looks...but I wanted to check out the brushes. I'm still working on building my brush collection- as any makeup addict knows, brushes aren't cheap. I have 5 (now 6) MAC brushes, just very basic, the bare essentials. Anyways, I found the 239 brush for only $17.50, which is awesome since it's $24.50 if you buy it from MAC :) So I'm very happy, now I can start saving for face brushes! ...that will take awhile. haha.
WEBSITE THOUGH! I was reading some blogs(my new favorite hobby, yay) and came across allcosmeticswholesale.com, and just had to check it out, of course...the MAC deals are pretty good, yeah...but the Urban Decay deals are fabulous...I did some research to make sure it was all legit and was satisfied with what I found. Soooo, I bought 2 Ultraglide Lip Glosses from Urban Decay, for about $4 each(retail $17). What's awesome is that out of the 4 colors they have, they had the 2 colors that I decided I wanted a few weeks ago! So I got "Lust" and "O"...I can't wait to check them out :)

Onto my music- my brother(he's a bassist) and I have been playing a lil bit of music lately and I'm starting to really feel passionate about it again...my passion kind of ebbs and flows, I'm told that's just the way it goes, so it's cool. Anyways, I'm playing a lot of acoustic stuff lately- acoustic covers of The Used, acoustic Bayside, Death Cab For Cutie(I want to learn "A Lack of Color"...sounds easy, but fun), etc...So that's all cool.
Speaking of which, I think I'm gonna go play some guitar now, so I'll be sure to update later. :)
