8 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Kim Kardashian
I Need a Vaca...
Source: On this surprisingly warmer-than-usual March day, my desire to go on a vacation somewhere warm is increasing... since I know that after today, the temps are going back into the 40's :(
I definitely have not traveled much (I hate to fly), but I've gotten around enough for me... A year ago from today, I was in the Bahamas with a bunch of friends from school basking (or frying) in the sun, drinking "Supermans," and going on drunken booze cruises. Two years ago, I spent an amazing semester in LA, and while there I visited the beautiful city of San Diego and beach towns in the O.C. such as Laguna Beach. And yeaaaars ago, I went to Disney World a lot... therefore making it prob my favorite place in the entire world (I'm not very "worldly"... I've only left the country once, so this is bound to change - unless, of course, I never leave the country again).
And that leads me to where I am right now. Bored, looking up flights, looking up vacations... AKA making vacations without clicking the purchase button.
My favorite resort I ever stayed at was The Beach Club in Disney! It was so nice. The pool was awesome... lots of room to tan. The views were amazing - the Boardwalk was right across the water and you could walk to Epcot. Such a nice atmosphere, so classy, so fun... I vaguely remember a hot tub too. I want to go back.

My family used to stay at The Polynesian which is one of the Magic Kingdom hotels on the monorail... OKAY, after looking at these pictures of the hotel, I'm beginning to think I underestimated the awesomeness of this hotel... It's soooo nice! I remember walking out the back door to the beach (it was right out the door) and watching the electrical parade go by on the water. Aww, I used to love that :( Anyway, I think that The Beach Club is def geared towards an older crowd... both are pretty awesome though.

Staying at The Polynesian was the reason I had an odd love for Tikis. Or maybe that was one of my brothers... or both of us... Who Knows.
Now, here's a hotel I never actually stayed at, but it was right next to the Polynesian on the monorail and I always loved it. The Floridian! Such a beautifullllllll place. There were always people getting married there, and I so wanted to be one of them. I remember we went to this Disney character breakfast there all the time. There are horrid pictures of me sporting a fanny pack with Minnie and Mickey Mouse... The experience was good though.

8 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian has transformed herself from a closet organizer and stylist to a multimillion-dollar brand. If Google’s most recent list of the most searched people is any indication, she’s one of the most famous people in the world.
Wear it dry, and you’ve got your standard dusting of color—classic and predictable (in a good way). But wet! Wearing it wet opens a whole new world of opportunity. “What you’re doing is bringing out the pigmented nature of the shadow,” makeup artist Vincent Oquendo says. “Whenever I wet an eye shadow, it’s when I really want it to pop—but it really has to be a special kind of product to be able to blend after it sets. Because a lot of the times when it sets, you get streaking.” Nobody wants that. In order to avoid any wet shadow mishaps, follow these guidelines:
Product
Kardashian sister hasn’t left much to the imagination.
First, go with the obvious: any eye shadow labeled wet-to-dry. The Nars Dual-Intensity line is the standout—the singles come in 12 different shimmery shades, and there’s a corresponding brush (then there’s the newly released Dual Intensity Blush line, which was all over Fashion Week—but that’s a product for another post). Burberry also makes a few very versatile shades specifically for this in their Wet & Dry Silk Shadows. And the technique-specific eye shadow category isn’t just a ploy to get you to buy more product. “You can’t just use any eye shadow for this,” Vincent says. “Certain ones will harden up on top and become unusable because they’re not made for this.”
Baked shadows are also fair game—we’re fans of Laura Mercier’s Baked Eye Colour Wet/Dry and Lorac’s Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in particular.
For more advanced players, Vincent suggests moving on to straight pigment (MAC or even OCC’s Pure Cosmetic Pigments). With the added moisture, they’ll become easier to layer with other products. For a look with more depth, try using a cream shadow as a based before swiping with a wet powder shadow. “It’s like insurance,” Vincent says. “You’re doubling your wearability.”
Brush
After Kim’s near decade in the spotlight..
This all depends on exactly what you want to do. “Mind the resistance,” Vincent says, particularly if you’re looking for uniform color across the lid. “I tend to recommend a blender brush, which is the brush that looks like a feather duster. If you do it with a stiff brush, you’re defeating yourself before you even start. The joy of a wet-to-dry is you have to get it right amount of product loaded up, and then it blends itself. If the brush is too stiff, it will leave the shadow streaky and then much harder to control.”
However, if tightlining or waterlining is in the cards, a much thinner brush is required accordingly.
Liquid
Do not, repeat, do not put eye drops, water, or any other sort of liquid directly on your eye shadow. This’ll screw up your product for later use. “Lately, I’ve been wetting the brush with the Glossier Soothing Face Mist, but Evian Mineral Water Spray is good for sensitive eyes,” Vincent says. If the top of your powder does get a little hardened by wet application, there’s a trick to remove it: Get a clean mascara spoolie and “exfoliate” your compact, Vincent recommends. This won’t crack the compact and will make it ready to go once more.
