I realized this morning, that I haven't really sported my personal inspiration as much as I should. Sure, I wear her lipsticks and eye shadows. Sure, I read her blog every day. Sure, I show her to my closest family and friends, but what I'm not proud about is that I'm not shouting it to the world. This is my inspiration, Doe Deere. She lives in New York, and is from Russia. When she arrived in the states, she didn't even know a lot of english, her family had no idea how to speak it, and had practically nothing. She currently runs a company called Lime Crime, my favorite makeup company. This company doesn't run a normal makeup brand... and you can't go from zero to where she's at now without success like her. Everything she makes is outstandingly pigmented.. and her lipstick is moisturized. It can stay on all day, all night, and wake up with some of it still on! Her eye shadows only need a dash on the brush, and it can give your eyes a big punch of color. She models occasionally, and used to make clothing and sing music. She has two cats, one being a Persian kitty named Puffy Fluffles. Speaking of which, she is definitely sweet with the animals; she helped with an animal shelter in such a generous way! Her husband's name is Mark, and his photography name is Grenouille. It simply amazes me of how inspiring one woman can be... I honestly would cry of happiness if I got to get a big hug from her. If I need something to do, if I feed sad and need something to cheer me up, and if I need something to keep me going when I have little to no motivation to even breathe left, I honestly read her blog. Now I know, it may seem creepy to be just so moved and practically 'in love' with a person they never even met... but she is just something different. I feel like she knows exactly how to make me smile, and doesn't know me. She may be about 15 years older than me, but my goodness do I care about her. She is my inspiration, and I am not afraid to admit it. But just to clear it up.... it's not a celebrity crush!! ...She runs a company! ;)xoxo Sara
