revised opinions and Google Plus says who?

I want to start my post with revised opinion on gel liner.  As you may have read, I wasn’t impressed with Avon’s gel liner.  I thought it sucked.  However, I think I spoke too soon.  I’ve been using my eye pencil recently.  I love the smudgy undereye look – it really helps to open up my squinty little eyes – and I’ve also started to apply a little outward flick on my upper eyelids for a 1960s cat eye look.  A crisp line is needed for the perfect cat eye but my pencil gets rather smudgy after a while, leaving me looking like a Victorian chimney sweep in the eye area.  Not great.

This is where gel liner comes in because that stuff does not budge at all.  In fact, trying to remove it from your eyes with make up remover is a real pain in the butt.  You can use it to create dramatic lines and it stays put so I’ll concede and say yeah, gel liners are okay (but liquid liner is still tops in my book).

In other news, I’m going to be helping out an organisation called ‘women’s networking hub’.  I’m going to help with twitter updates and creating content for the website which sounds pretty fun.  I met the lady who runs it and she’s really cool and has done a lot despite no funding.  2012 is going to be my year inshallah so this is the first of good things to come.

It’s come to my attention that my rishta post has been Google plussed.  I have no idea how to use Google+ and I’m not a user so I don’t know the identity of the person who Google plussed it or who they shared it with. 

Who is this enigmatic person?  I’m not trying to start a witch-hunt – I’m genuinely curious!  If the person reading this is you, can you tell me what you liked about it?  Or why you wanted to share it?  You can leave me a comment if you wish.

I wrote that post in a very agitated, angry state of mind.  It was one of those ‘I have to get this off my chest’ moments.  It’s funny how eloquent and articulate you can be when you’re upset and pissed off.  After I wrote it up and posted it, I spoke to my friend over the phone and talked it all out which felt great.  I don’t harbour any ill-will towards the guy. 

However, I’m still waiting on my phone call.  I’ve given up hope that he will phone.  I think his kind words were just hollow, meaningless words – oh, the drama of it all – and that he has no intention to phone me.  Part of me is totally fine with that because I don’t hold a torch for him but on the other hand I could really do with the career advice he could have given me!

Damn it.
