Woman Owned Makeup Brand Challenge

So I wanted to post something on here for International Women's Day and I wanted to do a makeup look using woman owned brands (or that have a female founder) So... I thought I'd post it here instead of on my beauty blog.

showing a picture in my glasses because Benefit did an ad that had a woman in glasses and it said "yuck" and I like how I look in glasses... so yeah! 

Face 
I don't actually have a primer from a Woman Owned Brand... most of the Urban Decay founders are women and I do have a makeup forever primer and the founder of that is also a woman... but for the most part I use Smashbox... so I actually improvised and used the It Cosmetics CC Cream as a primer. This feels a little sticky... but I kind of like it. For foundation I used the Fiona Stiles Illuminating Foundation Concentrate. I love Fiona Stiles, she does makeup for celebrities, Lilly Collins is one of her clients... but she also takes the time to respond to instagram posts and she actually helped me use her foundation a little bit better... so Go Fiona Stiles! I'm still starstruck at that lol. Anyway I used that as my foundation. For blush I used my Becca Blushed with Light Palette... 90% sure Becca has a female founder... yes Trendmood did an interview with her so that's true lol. And for highlight I went in with my Makeup Geek Kathleenlights Highlight Palette and I used the shade Nightlight. Love this palette.

Eyes 
I used the Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk as a primer... again 90% sure the Nyx founder is female. Then I used the Kat Von D Metal Matte palette. I used Twinkle all over the lid, Velvet in the crease and Synergy on the outer corner. On the browbone I used Linen. For eyeliner I lined my upper lashline and lower lashline with the Laura Gellar I Care Waterproof I pencil in Gunmetal and for mascara I used Bareminerals lash domination... I'm not sure this has a female founder... I think it said so on google... but currently I have that and Ulta's mascara opened and Ulta is not owned by a woman... so yeah.

Lips 
I used the Jouer Matte Lip Cream in Dulce de Leche.

Brushes 
Okay not all the brushes I used were woman owned... but I thought I would mention the ones that are. I used a Tarte Eyeshadow brush, an It Cosmetics for Ulta brush for the crease and a Real Techniques Blush Brush. I don't know if Real Techniques is female owned... the girls from PixiWoo are the spokespeople for it... but idk if they actually own it or not... but since there is so much female influence in the brand I thought it would be fitting.

Perfume 
Usually I don't say what perfume... but I'm wearing Elizabeth and James Nirvana White, which is owned by The Olson Twins... so I thought I would mention that.

P.s- this is the video I got the idea for this challenge from. Go check out her channel! She is awesome!

Byeee!

Why Catcalling Isn't Okay, and Why It's Okay Not To Like It

Today I went to the grocery store with my mom and grandmother and while we were checking out, some older man says “Ohhhh, Nice! Young Lady! Have Mercy," to me! I was really pissed!  The thing about catcalling though is that a lot of people kind of make it seem like its less of a big deal than it is and that women should be okay with it… And no one should have to be okay with being catcalled. Here are my reasons:   I wasn’t asking for it  A lot of times people shrug it off and say something like “Well if you dress like that you’re just asking for it.” Nope… I was wearing a sweater… a mock turtleneck actually, jeans, and a large peacoat. This isn’t any different than how I normally dress. I shouldn’t have to modify my dress for my safety… also I’m not sure how I could exactly be wearing anything more reserved. It’s a striped sweater with a slouchy turtleneck… I definitely wasn’t asking for it.  I was wearing makeup… but that’s another thing I do every day. I have a be

Feminist Disney: Zootopia

Zootopia is a really great Disney movie with some great messages about accepting others... but I also think this is a good feminist movie also. Disney has a lot of strong female characters, especially as of recently... Disney does sort of underrepresent women in movies because of marketing. I swear... all The Force Awakens toys I saw were Kylo Ren... and that isn't okay... but anyway this is kind of cool that it isn't marketed as a girls movie or a boys movie but the main character and -SPOILERS- the villain in the story are women. Judy Hopps and Assistant Mayor Bellwether have a lot in common also. They are both "Meek Prey," they are both trying to succeed in a field that is mainly filled with male predators... they're both very ambitious, smart characters. They have similar dreams- they just get there in different ways and handle their mistakes differently... which defines them as a hero vs a villain. They don't really mention the difference between me

Feminish TV : Black Mirror Season 3 Episode 1: Nosedive

I had been wanting to see Black Mirror for a while, and this is the episode Netflix decided to play for me. Oddly, they have Black Mirror starting from the Most Recent Season and then going back to the first season… so it’s the opposite of what they normally do.   Also, in case no one knows, Black Mirror is a horror/sci fi series kind of like The Twilight Zone, but a lot darker and scarier. So each episode is different, different cast different characters, different story… so its kind of like its own movie… but a little bit shorter.  This one stars Bryce Dallas Howard as a woman living in a world where Social Media is everything. People have something attached to their eye that brings up everyone’s profile whenever you look at them, you can see their “Score” which shows how popular they are. 5s are the highest… most people are in the 4 range. Bryce Dallas Howard’s character is in the mid-4’s and she’s looking to bring herself up to a higher 4. There are advantages to being a h
