Review: Haus Laboratories Sparkle Lipstick – Burlesque

Review: Haus Laboratories Sparkle Lipstick – Burlesque

by Mia Violet | Dec 20, 2019 | Lifestyle, Makeup, Review

Lady Gaga’s Haus Laboratories have set an admirable mission statement in creating makeup that’s about self-expression and self-love, a quality brand about acceptance and finding your identity for an affordable price. After holding off on the initial wave, I finally...

I’m alive! And I’m pink~!! Yes, I finally did I’m alive! And I’m pink~!! Yes, I finally did it and got lovely vibrant pink hair! I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time. So meanwhile, where have I been?…

I realise it’s been a year or so since my last post which is kinda ridiculous. But honestly I’ve spent most of it in a slump, still struggling with fatigue and wobbly mental health.

But!

I do have some cool news: I’ve started training to be a counsellor again! 🩷

It’s been going really well and I’m loving it. I’m actually close to finishing my level 2, and I’m really excited to jump into level 3 in September (assuming I pass level 2!).

The course has sort of been an anchor for my life over the last 6 months or so. It’s helped get me outside again, and along with shaking up my medication I’ve been slowly getting back to normal bit by bit.

And the hair helps a lot too, obviously.

So that’s my little update. How have you all been? What have I missed?

Oh and I know I missed a bunch of DMs! Please nudge me so I can reply! A lot of them are buried 🙈

P.S. I look a little disheveled! I’m currently travelling back to Yorkshire on 5 hours sleep. I thought about doing a more curated and posed “OMG I’m back and pink” post, but… meh! Reality is better! Embrace the imperfect! Right?

Hair: @mycesare

Contour: @jeccablac as always~
Eyeshadow: @AnastasiaBeverleyHills
The rest: Ehh… hell if I remember

Happy 1 year vagina-versary to meee~!! 💜 Yes, s Happy 1 year vagina-versary to meee~!! 💜 Yes, somehow it’s been 12 months since I had surgery. Isn’t that wild? I wish I could say life is all flowers and rainbows now but if I’m honest, the reason I’ve barely posted in the last year is that I’m still depressed.⁣
⁣
Bummer, eh?⁣
⁣
I wrote a long (and kinda bleak) Patreon post about my thoughts and feelings on the last year, but I don’t want to be too much of a downer here.⁣
⁣
But I did want to post something, just to say hi because I miss you all and I’d like to come back and start hanging out here again.⁣
⁣
I never really made the choice to stop posting, I just lost so much energy that taking nice photos felt like a lot of effort when most days getting out of bed was an accomplishment. After that even logging in and interacting in any way felt overwhelming.⁣
⁣
I also didn’t really feel like I had anything to say.⁣
⁣
~~⁣
⁣
So what will I post now going forward?⁣
⁣
I don’t know.⁣
⁣
But I’m here for the social aspect, to just chat and connect. I’m here for you, my friends. So maybe I’ll just do little updates? Or whatever is on my mind?⁣
⁣
Anyway, how have you all been? 💜⁣

⁣
I’m still alive! Where have I been? Up to someth I’m still alive! Where have I been? Up to something very exciting, perhaps?… Nope! I’m afraid I’ve just been super depressed and sleeping like 15 hours a day, mostly while contemplating the overwhelming question of what to do with my life…😬⁣
⁣
…⁣
⁣
Yeah, sorry that’s a bit of a downer! I wish I could tell you some cool or inspiring story but I’ve just been feeling lonely, sad, and tired for several months 💀⁣
⁣
The good news is that I’m getting better. Thanks to therapy, meditation, journaling, and the ever wonderful presence of anti-depressant medication, I am starting to feel like myself again!⁣
⁣
Yay! 💜⁣
⁣
I could write a lot here, and ramble on about my thoughts around being over 6 months on from surgery (I already kinda did over on my Patreon, if I’m honest), but for the minute I just wanted to say that I’m okay, I miss chatting to you all, and I hope you have a relaxing holiday period.⁣
⁣
Also I’m sorry I have months worth of DMs to get back to! I promise I’ll try check in with everyone.⁣
⁣
Love y’all! ♥️⁣
⁣
~~⁣
⁣
Oh and I’m going to do a Twitch stream on Xmas day evening, especially for anyone who hasn’t gotten anybody to hang out with. Feel free to pop in and say hi if you’d like, or just have me rambling away in the background for a bit.⁣
⁣
My plans to come back to Twitch after my surgery recovery kind of went up in flames, but hopefully 2022 will see me go back to a more consistent schedule. Streaming has been a fun way to do something social in a year where I’ve barely left the house, so arguably it’s also good for my mental health. Win-win! ✨⁣

Whoops! So I didn’t realise it had been months s Whoops! So I didn’t realise it had been months since I’d last posted an update. Hello, friends! I’m continuing to heal from surgery and all is well…⁣
⁣
Kinda.⁣
⁣
I’m healing slower than the average girl, but I am healing!⁣
⁣
I would be already due to return to everyday life, as it’s nearly been 4 months since surgery(!!). But due to the slower rate I’m healing at, I’m still dilating 3 times a day (TMI?).⁣
⁣
And annoyingly, on top of that I’m dealing with a lot of fatigue. I think it might be an iron deficiency thing? I’m spending a lot of time sleeping again and lying around in bed, as I just don’t feel up to anything else.⁣
⁣
But I can’t complain! ⁣
⁣
It’s pretty good news overall, right? I was worried about surgery complications and all sorts that could happen, so I’m very happy that fatigue is the worst of it.⁣
⁣
…I can also confirm that I discovered everything definitely works as it should do, so that’s exciting 👀⁣
⁣
Please continue to bear with me! Thank you for being so patient while I get back to normal 💜⁣

With colourful Pride eyes, I have returned to the With colourful Pride eyes, I have returned to the birthplace of my vag! Why hath I made a voyage to the my vagina’s origins? My vagins, if you will?⁣
⁣
An excellent question!⁣
⁣
But with a kinda boring answer. It was just for a checkup as I’ve had some little issues with my healing that have worried me a lot more than they probably should have (thanks, anxiety!).⁣
⁣
Thankfully I can confirm now it’s nothing serious, everything is still on track and will be totally fine, we just need to keep an eye on things as she’s a little weepy still.⁣
⁣
Which makes sense I guess. She is mine, of course she’d take after me and be a sensitive weepy bitch.⁣
⁣
 ~~⁣
⁣
Sorry all my posts lately are just vagina posts. And selfies. Lots of selfies lately too and no full outfit posts, I know. ⁣
⁣
(No vagina selfies at least)⁣
⁣
But I mean, there’s not much else really going on in my life right now beyond lying in bed and healing.⁣
⁣
Soon though! ⁣
⁣
Soon…⁣

Not dead! Not missing! Just sleepy. So, so, sleepy Not dead! Not missing! Just sleepy. So, so, sleepy. Turns out being given entirely new genitals really takes it out of you! Also, what takes it out of you even more, you ask?…⁣
⁣
Being on a round of antibiotics to deal with a lil’ infection your new genitals have.⁣
⁣
…Yeah, sorry.⁣
⁣
TMI, right?⁣
⁣
Anyway that’s all I got! Sorry I’m too exhausted for anything more interesting or profound. This isn’t even a new photo, I’m pretty sure this is like 3 months old? At least?⁣
⁣
Just pretend I did some big post about finally feeling in tune with my body and the wonderful joy of having my nether regions actually make sense to my brain and blah, blah, blah, gender euphoria, yada, yada, yada, 🌈⁣
⁣
Hope you’re all doing well?⁣
⁣
Give me another couple weeks of resting and I’ll hopefully start easing back into regular posting, stories, and Twitch streams.⁣
⁣
Love y’all!⁣

I lived, bitches. Surgery went perfectly and recov I lived, bitches. Surgery went perfectly and recovery is on track! How cool is that? The weirdest week of my life is now in the past and I’m back home recovering. All is well! ⁣
⁣
I’m sorry for being so incredibly patchy with replies and updates lately!⁣
⁣
I saw every message that came in, and in my sleepy achey headspace every single one made me feel loved and safe. Thank you. Knowing you had my back was everything in getting through this 💜⁣
⁣
I’ll try my best to get caught up with everything soon, but I’ve basically blocked out May as my healing month. ⁣
⁣
So far most days are all about unscheduled naps, and I have a feeling today is going to be no exception.⁣
⁣
So before I crash, let me just once again say thank you for all the support 💖💖⁣
⁣
~~⁣
⁣
P.S. This is an old photo but I figured it’s more fun to look at than me looking disheveled and bored in bed 🌈⁣
⁣
Hope you’ve all been well! 💛⁣

It’s vagina-eve! I’m in hospital! Hi! If the s It’s vagina-eve! I’m in hospital! Hi! If the surgeon is cool with me when we meet tomorrow at the crack o’ dawn, then in 12 hours from now I’ll be in surgery…⁣
⁣
How do I feel?⁣
⁣
Terrified! Excited! Like I’m going to throw up, cry, and dance for joy all at once.⁣
⁣
It’s a lot.⁣
⁣
This is (assuming I don’t need any revision surgery) the last step of my medical transition. Something I started over 6 years ago.⁣
⁣
Half a decade.⁣
⁣
There’s been lots of tears, but more than anything there’s been so many moments of happiness that have felt a million times more pure and overwhelming than anything I’d ever experienced in my old identity.⁣
⁣
This has been a process of letting go of all the performance and protection I’d clad myself in growing up while trying to stay safe and fit in.⁣
⁣
Now here I am with a new life, a whole new identity, my true emotions and personality set free to giddily frolic through life every day.⁣
⁣
…Yeah I just used the word “frolic”.⁣
⁣
I’m feeling a lot of emotions and I’ve been off my hormones for a month, I’ve earned some purple prose.⁣
⁣
~~⁣
⁣
Anyway.⁣
⁣
Whether you remember the early days of blurry and filtered bathroom selfies, or we’ve only just started to get to know each other: thank you.⁣
⁣
Thank you for being my eternally dependable little family and cheerleading squad through all kinds of nonsense.⁣
⁣
Tomorrow morning it’s the last step and then this chapter is finally finished.⁣
⁣
Thanks for having my back one last time.⁣
⁣
I love you.⁣
⁣
See you in the next chapter!⁣
⁣
💜⁣
⁣
P.S. I’ll be putting updates on my Stories, and I’ll add them to a highlight on my profile too, for anyone who wants to follow along.⁣
