Playing Around With Some Nail Design

2009-09-05T02:22:00.004-05:00

Hey Ya'll!!!!

So besides makeup, I also like to play around with my nails and I sometimes get questions about my nails from my subbies. Some have request tutorials, but I dont think Im that good to be doing tutorials lol. Im trying to grow them, but they are so soft and weak, so when they do grow, they break easily. If you guys have any suggestions on something I can use to strengthen my nails that wont break the bank LOL Im not into spending $10 plus dollars on any kinda nail stuff. I use the Sally Hansen now...

But anyway, here is a lil something i did...I wasnt really sure where i was going with it when i started, but it turned out kinda neat...its abstract. I knew I wanted to use red and black so here is what happened lol

Hope you guys enjoy

If You Were A Bride, Would You Wear This Look??

2009-08-28T19:05:00.007-05:00

Hey Ya'll!!

This is my 3rd post today...Im on a roll!! LOL So you guys know my style, Im complete dramatic and over the top. I love any and all things BRIGHT and it totally reflects that in my makeup. I know sometimes I will have to tone it down, especially for weddings and whatnot. Im very good at following directions, and brides usually tell you exactly what they want so I can deliver with out any problems...but I was thinking that for my wedding, I dont want anything too subtle and I dont want the entire focus to be on my makeup either LOL.. so I've been experimenting with a few bridal looks that I would definitley wear and I was just wondering if anyone else would wear it or if my style was just too much LOL. But anyways this is a look i did today.

This look was achieved with the 28 neutral palette and the Loreal HiP Pigment in Progressive. I also used NYC liquid liner and cover girl perfect point plus in black for my waterline. I also wore Red cherry lashes #138. I also did some major contouring...but here are some photos...

What I've Been Up To

2009-08-28T09:37:00.005-05:00

Hey Beauties!!! Hey guys!!!

So, yea yea, I know, its been awhile since I've posted a blog...and Im totally sorry about that. But honestly, do ppl really read these things?LOL Well, I sure hope you guys do, because I really enjoy reading blogs.

So, I've recently just gotten over an illness...I was having a very bad allergic reaction..and guess to what...MOLD!! It wasn't black mold or anything, but never the less it was mold. Thank God it didnt affect my kids. For some reason I was extremely sensitive to it. But Im all better now and ready to get back at it.

I haven't purchased any new products lately :-( My kid's birthdays are like months apart...my daughter's bday was in August, my oldest son's bday is Sept , my bday is in Oct (maybe i'll get to treat myself to some makeup lol) my baby boy's bday is in Nov, then I have my boyfriends bday on Dec 24 and of course there is Christmas...So im really having to save money for all that.

I've found a great way to try and get some free makeup is ENTER CONTESTS ON YOUTUBE!!! Of course I dont win them all and I know Im not gonna win them all, but its just so much fun! So I would encourage EVERYONE to get in on these contests, especially if you are on a tight budget like I am, and try to win some stuff...But the key is, stay encouraged even if you dont win, even if you felt like you should have won, dont let it discourage you...keep on keeping on, it'll change in your favor!!

Okay...so Halloween will be here soon and I've been really enjoying doing face painting. So I'll be posting some Halloween tutorials...I would ask for requests, but im not LOL I already have lots of requests I need to get to. Below are some looks i've recently done lately, some better than other, but they were all really fun to do!!!

2009-06-20T23:29:00.008-05:00

Ok Guys, so I know that the paint wheels are whats HAWT rite now, but the price tag may not be so Hawt. Some are cheaper than others, but they are the same products...F*ck wat ur heard!!! But for someone who is just beginning in makeup or who are on a pretty tight budget, Then you will enjoy this. If you have the 120 palette then you are Good to Go!!!

In this post, I will be showing you the 120 Palette dupes for the Forever Glam Wonderland Paint wheel..which is the pink one. Now the colors by not be EXACT, but they are really damn close to it!! You dont have to have the Paint Wheel to achieve the paint wheel look. But being the makeup FREAK that I am, I wouldn't feel right not having them all in my Collection LOL I know ya'll know what Im talking bout. Also there is a video below that will show you guys the exact colors in the 120 palette that are the dupes for the Wonderland Paint Wheel. The Top row of swatches are from the Forever Glam Wonderland Paint Wheel and the bottom row are from the Manly 120 Palette.

42 Color Matte Eyeshadow and Blush Palette

2009-06-15T19:35:00.019-05:00

Heyy Beauties!!!

I've missed you all so very much! I haven't been able to post anything because my mouse totally pooped out on me, But now I have a new one and Im so excited to be able to post again!!!!

So I received my 42 color double stack palette. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I got the Matte one. I purchased mine from Ebay from this seller Jolieeeee Boutique and got a great deal on it. I paid like $25 for this palette and that is with shipping included. She has is on sale now for $14.39 plus 10.00 shipping fee!!!!! That is wayyy cheaper than Coastal Scents!!!!!!!

The colors are Gorgeous!!! They are incredibly pigmented. They are very easy to apply and blend for a matte shadow. Usually matte shadows can be a PAIN when it comes to blending, but these seem to be very smooth.

You get 32 Matte shadows and 10 blush. I haven't used the blush, but from swatching them, I don't think I'll be using them much. They aren't bad quality, its just that Im not fond of very pink blush. There may be a few of the golden ones that may compliment my darker skin tone. They can be used as a cheek highlight. Below are some pictures and swatches of the palette and a look i did with this palette!

This is the Look I created using this palette

Other Products used in this look :

NYX Jumbo Pencil Milk
L A Colors Black liquid eyeliner
Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner Black
Red Cherry Lashes #138

Swatches!!!!!!!

Base used for Eyeshadow Swatches is Mehron Clown White

Blush Swatches : No Base

Recommend : YES!!!

I would recommend this palette for someone who loves color but doesn't like a lot shimmer!! The blush are just OK, but still have good pigmentation for someone who wants to experiment with color!
