A Dream is a wish your heart makes, so says Princess Aurora in Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
I believe this is true and I also believe our dreams aren't easy to follow.
Life can surprise us and take us for a loop, turn us upside down and inside out in a second.
If you're still passionate about your dream after all of that, then its worth pursuing. There are times when I question what I do, with so many people asking why do you do this if it serves no purpose to you.
The problem is, they don't see what I see. They don't see my long term goal or my vision becoming a reality.
Are you going to give up on what I want because someone else can't see it?
Dreaming your dream is what makes it all worth it.
So you keep dreaming little dreamer.

I am back again with another installment of my blog growth updates! Since my last update I experienced a little growth spurt and then things died down, so I made a few changes and hopefully things will pick back up again :)
Twitter:
I currently stand at 2,042 followers! I truly love twitter, although I have to admit I haven't been tweeting much, That's still 333 new followers since february.
Instagram:
I have 866 instagram followers that I interact with on the daily! There are some talented makeup artist on there. Since February I have gained 244 new followers. I have a giveaway going on here, but I am not expecting much from it as I am giving away a product that isn't well known.
Pintrest:
I have 108 followers here, I just can't get into it. I have tried maybe its the app that I don't like. I still gained 45 followers for an app I hardly use.
Google +:
I have 285 people in my circles and 316 people have me in their circles. I stopped using G+ since I switched my commenting to Disqus. I do miss it as it helped me see the blogs I follow easier, but the app has changed for me, maybe its a setting I applied I dunno.
Facebook:
On the Makeup Squid Page I have 1,329 likes, 288 friends. Interwebs Chic has 59 likes.
Bloglovin:
Interwebs Chic has 255 followers I have gained 44 followers here, The Makeup Squid has 340 I gained 54 followers and the new kid on the blogging block The Relationship Daily has 9 followers.
YouTube:
My Channel The Makeup Squid has 281 subbies as of right now, I am currently running a giveaway, so I expect this to grow. I have gained 75 new subbies since my last update which was in february.
I am happy with my growth, it seemed to be growing at a steady pace, then it stopped. So I have learned that you have to keep on, keepin on to keep your growth coming.
Here is the video of my giveaway.

is beauty with an edge. Feminine, dangerous and fun, it appeals to women who relish their individuality and dare to express it. From our insane range of velvety Eyeshadows—including the bestselling (and often-copied) Naked Palettes— to our award-winning eye liners, budge-proof mascaras and legendary Makeup Setting Sprays, we've been shaking up the industry for over 15 years.
URBAN DECAY is one of my all time favorite makeup brands and they are just getting better and better with every new release. Today I want to share with you some of their products I find needable and wantable.
I cant even explain how bad I am wanting these products! Whats on your urban decay wantable list?

Friday is here again. Is it just me or is this month going by very fast? If you follow me on twitter you would have heard that last night someone tried to come into our home at 4 a.m. This person was obviously intoxicated and got really lost, after the police came and a few hours later I finally got some sleep.It's very gloomy and drizzly here, so I shall go blogging today :)
Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails
FLAKE
COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER
I have heard people saying that this powder is great for setting concealer and hiding fine lines in the undereye area, but I have to say this was a complete fail and the smell reminds me of a bingo parlor ladies restroom.
FAB
COVER GIRL CLUMP CRUSHER
I know I have been going on about this mascara, but wow. This stuff is amazing! It separates and thickens up my lashes in a way I never thought possible. I love that my lashes don't get crusty and the drama lasts until I am ready to take it off. This is a definite fab for me.
FAIL
NYC DUO 814B
I feel that I shouldnt say what I really feel about this product because a child may be reading this. But man this sucks so bad I can't even think about it. The black comes out a soft weathered grey and the white is not even there. There are no other uses for this product except to hold up a rickety night stand. FAIL!
So there you have it my Friday Flakes, Fab & fails.
Do you have any experiences with these products?
Can you give me another reason for the NYC duo? lol.

When I hear the word secret, the things that come to mind are friends and their dirty little secrets. I mean there has to be someone in this big world that knows that stupid thing you did with you know who long ago. Right? Thank heavens, I thought it was just me :) What if we couldn't trust that person? What if that person decided to spill the beans? How would I handle it? What would I do? The horror!!
Well, thankfully I am at the stage in my life where I just don't care who knows what anymore. I can tell you it's a very liberating feeling. So since we are on the subject of secrets I wanted to share some secrets that I have found around the net pertaining to beauty and makeup. Some of these are tricks of the trade and some just make you go aha!
BEAUTY SECRETS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW
Skin
Adding that milk of magnesia works best on normal, oily, and combination skin and helps minimize pores, evens out skin tone, and keeps foundation from oxidizing and changing color. I know during the summer months I am going to be doing this for sure.
Lashes
Bring lashes out with gel eyeliner and a lash curler, First, take the lash curler and paint the liner on the sponge area of the lash curler. Wait about 10 to 15 seconds to let the liner dry slightly. Then, place the curler as close to the lash line as possible, hold for a few seconds, and release. After, apply a few coats of clear mascara to finish the look. It creates the perfect full lash and defined lash line but the look is a bit more natural and edgy. This sounds so nice for the days when you want a little something, but don't wanna go all the way.
Lips
Trace the outer edge of the top lip with a highlighter, concentrating the product at the Cupid’s bow and fading out towards the outer edges, a pearled cream highlighter is perfect for creating this effect. I personally do this often as my lips are disappearing as I get older,
Brows
Dust a bit of translucent powder using a small brush over your brows before setting them with a tinted brow gel, it immediately boosts the brow hairs and amplifies your natural brow shape even if you have fine or thin brows. Then just fill in any sparse areas with a pencil to get the definition you need. I know my powders always enhance my facial hair, so this makes sense to me.
Do you have any secrets to tell? Do share, I promise I won't will tell.
P.S
I am having a giveaway on my YouTube channel! Come by and enter for a chance to win some awesome skin care products from around the world!

I have been busy with youtube videos and re designing my beauty blog. I wanted something simple, but eye catching at the same time. I wanted a brand logo and this is what I came up with. I am in love with this logo, I wanted a circle, I feel circles are very welcoming shapes. I also added my moto and repeated it around the logo itself, with my T, M and S in the center. I added the established mark and year, over all I love it. I still kept my black and white, but found a soft pink number #ffcccc that I am in love with for a pop of color.
So what do you think?
This is the banner as a whole. I had to add the stripes because Blogger would not center it and it looked bad in a corner all alone.
I am in love!! If you need or want a tutorial on how I made this just let me know down below :)

I was looking through my twitter the other day and I noticed that I have been missing a lot of what's been going on with my friends and their blogs and I noticed that I have been missing out!
I have to admit, I haven't been posting as much as I would like. I have been putting a lot of effort into my YouTube channel trying to establish some growth there. I have not gone blogging in a while and I am going to try to get some time and visit my favorites!
I made some changes to the blog, I made all the images myself. If you would like a tutorial on banner and button making let me know and I will get on out as soon as I can.
