Review – ColourPop Sailor Moon – Pretty Guardian Eye Shadow

Review – ColourPop Sailor Moon – Pretty Guardian Eye Shadow

by Mia Violet | Mar 13, 2020 | Makeup, Review

The Sailor Moon collection from Colour Pop sold out in, what? About an hour for the entire thing? Although I didn’t get everything I wanted (I’m not bitter, honest), I was lucky enough to grab a couple of items, including the Queen of the collection: The Pretty...

One of the most helpful things for my career as a One of the most helpful things for my career as a writer and an influencer (though I still struggle with that word!) was changing my mindset to one of abundance.‬⁣ ⁣ ‪By which I mean I stopped considering every opportunity that came my way a once-in-a-lifetime career changing chance that I absolutely 100% had to take or else I’d regret it forever.⁣ ⁣ Because I used to take every chance I got and you know what happened? I ended up writing for free for places that exploited me, I reviewed products I had to feign interest in, and I spent money going to events I didn’t even want to be at. ⁣ ⁣ All because I was scared this chance would never come again.⁣ ⁣ But the universe is abundant, not scarce. That becomes more clear the more you practice that mindset.⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ ‪Whatever your passion, there will always be more chances. It’s okay to be picky.‬⁣ ⁣ ‪For clarity, I mean things like turning down working for “exposure” or turning down an event because you know it would be a strain on your mental health.‬ ⁣ ⁣ If you don’t want to do something, that’s valid.⁣ ⁣ ‪There’s this narrative that to be a success in your field you have to be constantly hungry and hustling, and sure it’s true that hard work pays off... But we live in a big world full of opportunities.‬⁣ ⁣ ‪As long as you keep trying, you’ll make more opportunities.‬ And you’ll make your own luck, and your own path to success (with whatever success personally means to you).⁣ ⁣ 💜⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ Photographer: @loretta.rose.love⁣ ⁣ Makeup: @limecrimemakeup⁣ Coat: @yoursclothinguk⁣ Glasses: @redordeadlondon ⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ #ThisIsYours #YoursClothing #limecrimeliquidlipstick #limecrimelipstick #lgbtblogger #lgbtinfluencer #youcomefirst #selflovery #newauthors #femaleauthor #authorsupport #queerbook #queerreader #redordeadlondon #redordeadglasses #rodldn #lcxme #freelancelifestyle #freelancingfemales #freelancerslife #freelancetofreedom #girlbossmagic #freelancerlife #biwomen #queerandproud #queerwomen #abundantmindset #abundancementality #mindsetmastery #abundanceliving
Apocalypse chic! Anyone else feel a bit weird abou Apocalypse chic! Anyone else feel a bit weird about the fact that so many people are acting like the pandemic is over?⁣ ⁣ I finally got out of the house for a bit today and it was absolutely glorious. ⁣ ⁣ But it was pretty weird to see only about 25% of people also had a mask?⁣ ⁣ Like yeah, I get it. It’s inconvenient, it makes communicating trickier. As someone with ADHD and a history of anxiety I use my expressions a lot in communication, and I take a lot from reading expressions too.⁣ ⁣ …But I’d rather be inconvenienced and a little confused than y’know, dead. Or potentially out there infecting people?⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ Oh well. At least my Revolution makeup looks nice and trendy with my mask and Hell Bunny dress! Yes, it’s the end of the world, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to throw out coordination and style 💖⁣ ⁣ Seriously, doing my makeup during this lockdown has done a lot for my mental health. It lets things feel a bit more normal even though they’re very clearly not. It’s grounding and reminds me to spend time on me.⁣ ⁣ How about you? How are you feeling about the lockdown and pandemic at this point?⁣ ⁣ P.S. Yes, the straps are around my buns instead of my ears. When the size is wrong you’ve got to improvise! ⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ Makeup: @makeuprevolution⁣ Dress: @hellbunnyofficial⁣ ⁣ ~~~⁣ ⁣ #lgbtqmakeup #transbodies #biwomen #lgbtblogger #lgbtinfluencer #makeupnewbie #makeuptherapy #aspiringmua #makeupunderdogs #newtomakeup #adhdadult #adhdwomen #adhdstruggles #adhdbrain #adultadhd #adhdadults #adhdqueer #coveryourface #transfemme #queermakeup #queeraf #queerfemme #transgirlsrock #transpride🌈 #biwomen #hairbunsfordays #transblogger #revolutionmakeup #makeupformentalhealth #revolutionpro
How messed up is it that a large part of me wantin How messed up is it that a large part of me wanting major surgery is just from knowing that I’ll be protected from people’s prejudice?⁣ ⁣ Here’s some common sense: What genitals you have dictates how you have sex with your partner(s). That’s it. ⁣ ⁣ And yet we’ve built a culture where they control everything. A completely artificial set of expectations that dictate your entire life based on what’s in your pants.⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ As a trans woman, I was assigned male at birth due to my current body configuration. I am lucky enough to be on the wait list for surgery that will change that.⁣ ⁣ My gender isn’t on the outside.⁣ ⁣ The outside is irrelevant. Except some people don’t believe that, to the extent where whatever my genitals look like will directly dictate how they treat me.⁣ ⁣ Whether they let me use certain facilities. Whether they consider my gender “real” and valid. And even what prison I’d be sent to. ⁣ ⁣ Presently, despite living as myself for over 5 years, I would be sent to a male prison if I broke the law. Despite who I am and how I live, the configuration of my body would dictate that.⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ In a just and sensible world, I would be able to make my choice about surgery based on how I feel within my body and what I want for it.⁣ ⁣ But I can’t. I have to factor in all these ridiculous things that our culture have decided.⁣ ⁣ I’ve come to the conclusion that I will be safer getting surgery. ⁣ ⁣ Safer from other people.⁣ ⁣ That should not be my main deciding factor on if I change my body or not.⁣ ⁣ And yet it is.⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ For more on this topic, I wrote a longer piece on it for Patreon today exploring all of my thoughts and fears. ⁣ ⁣ The link is in my bio 💜⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ #transbodies #biwomen #lgbtblogger #transfemme #transpride🌈 #lgbtally #transfeminism #transwomenarewomen #genderidentity #weshouldallbefeminists #transwomen #feminsm #feminismisforeveryone #lgbtinfluencer #intersectionnalfeminist #feministasfuck #equalforequal #feministmovement #intersectional #checkyourprivilege #intersectionalfeminist #transinclusive #lgbtqiapride #transfeminist #transissues #queerliberation #transgenderpride🌈 #feminismisforeverybody #queerrights
Happy Birthday to my book!! It’s been two years Happy Birthday to my book!! It’s been two years since Yes, You Are Trans Enough was released. My very first book, which I genuinely thought nobody would read and maybe people would hate 🌈⁣ ⁣ Seriously. I had no idea what the reception would be. ⁣ ⁣ The fact that I’ve had a consistent stream of people, trans and cis, telling me they loved the book and they found it so funny, interesting, and informative, warms my little queer heart.⁣ ⁣ Thank you to everyone who took a chance on it! 💜⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ Can I also just take this moment to say to any unpublished writers out there that you’re awesome and you are absolutely 100% going to be a huge success? Because you are.⁣ ⁣ Trust me. I was convinced I was never going to be published. I had actually given up right before I got my contract.⁣ ⁣ But I’m not special, I’m just like you. I’m another scrappy misfit just hoping that somebody will want to listen to what I have to say.⁣ ⁣ All you need to do is keep pushing and look for opportunities and it’ll happen. I guarantee it.⁣ ⁣ Never, ever, ever, give up. It’s just a matter of time.⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ Dress: @hellbunnyofficial ⁣ ⁣ Photo: @loretta.rose.love⁣ ⁣ ~~⁣ ⁣ #newauthors #femaleauthor #authorsupport #debutbook #queerbook #queerreader #lgbtreads #lgbtqauthors #lgbtliterature #queerauthor #transauthor #diversityreads #queerbooks #authorphoto #authorofig #selfloveauthor #softgoth #altfashionblogger #alternativestyle #hellbunny #hellbunnydress #hellbunnyclothing #myhellbunny #yeshellbunny #myhboutfit #queerstyle #bitchesbewitches #fashionmagick #queerwitches
