Found a J.O.B in this terrible economy. SO thankful.. yee!

SOOOO because of the new job, some things might need to be "taken less to"
such as my love for youtube. Oh, but don't worry people (all 5 of you lol) a passion truly exists if I'm thinking of how I can squeeze a vid in my schedule. SO, please be patient as always--

Speaking of youtube, I'm just thinking of how its grown into this

superficial-materialistic-metropolis


What happened in the LOVE of makeup & CREATIVITY that used to enlighten those
like artists with a brush & blank canvas... its more like

wallets & promo-codes now

I feel like the love is gone, and there's only a few of us standing who dare not to stray away from that path, especially those who have been around for years & seeing their face is like seeing an old friend.... (even though they probably don't even know you exist)

Much props to those livin' in the underground, your work is much appreciated to me, brava :)

"And I could still draw.

Nothing had lessened it as much
as I had abused it, abandoned it.

It was a gift, and it was still mine.

And everything else was less real.


What can it mean?
That picture of the world.

But when it's true, we recognize it
in ourselves, in others.


We recognize it, like love,
completely undeserved."

Great Expectations

YAY! new look with my new cam!
So, its been awhile...::crickets::

yea! i know, shame on me-- a lot has happened though in the past couple months. I was studying for my boards then while studying for my boards I find out that my uncle whom I'm very close to ends up with terminal cancer. He passed away the day after I took my boards. yea....

So its been a really rocky year for me, 2010 so far has been bittersweet. I hope as this year goes by, it gets better... you know?

So thats what I've been up to.

On a lighter note--

the look that i did was AIIIIIITE, I mean, I was more excited about using the camera than the look that I created lol. I just wanted to see my eye close up, but now that I look at the video I think I should back it up a bit cause my flaws are all up in yO face. haha maybe 2 eyes instead of 1 in the frame. So here are the pictures & the list of products.





BENEFIT High Beam - Base
MAC Woodwink - inner corner
MAC Surreal - outter half & slightly above crease
MAC Club - above crease
MAC Embark - outter "V"
MAC bootblack Liquid Liner
BEN NYE White - Highlight & inner corner color
HONG KONG Faux Lashes - $10 for 60 pairs (yes!)





That basically completes the eye look... I'll be doing more tutorials now that I have a mobile cam, instead of the webcam! yee!

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?


She’s not perfect -- you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can.

She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break -- her heart.

So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there."

Bed Head Crimps!










I had a lot of fun filming this tutorial! I mainly used Jonathan products:





Jonathan Dirt

  • Lemongrass Essential Water: Adds body & shine
  • Sweet Almond Protein: Helps to repair. Strengthen
  • Natural Botanical Extracts: Nourish & stimulate.
  • Botanical Blend: Potent anti-oxidants for protection.
beauty.com


Jonathan Create Volume thickening foam



I love this thickening foam. I have naturally curly hair & when I don't feel like putting heat on my locks, I use this bad boy after putting on mousse. It creates volume even while it air drys. Highly recommend this product!


Peace & Blessings

club look #2

I was so hesitant to record a video today because I have such bad allergies, I thought I'd be sneezing on brushes the whole time-- thankfully none of that happened...

I just sound super congested in my narrative. lol

So this is the next club look i came up with! I've been recording on my macbook pro, and the colors that showed in the video gave no justice! I wish i had an HD camera that everyone else on YT uses. You would've seen the color way better! I really enjoyed this look, my eye shadow looks like its "glowing" and i love that effect! I will be making more club looks-- so pls watch out for the videos to come. Now on with the pictures & the products I used to achieve this look!







Products Used:

.Eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion
MAC PRO Rose
MAC Passionate
BEN NYE Fushia
MAC Rollickin' Paintpot
MAC Deep Truth

Photobucket

This is literally one of the looks I always do when I go out. Its simple, diva-ish, and dramatic-- what more do you want? The red lip is added drama, you can always rock a neutral lippy IF its a bit much. Organizing a quad from MAC with your favorite combos will save you time... especially when your friends call you up last min-- no need for brainstorming colors, just grab your pre-made quad. Loves it! & I hope you do too :)
