Hello folks!

So I uploaded this a couple days ago and between xmas shopping [ONE MONTH LEFT!!] then seeing friends, and just general "omg I forgot!" [oops!] .... I really haven't published this anywhere except youtube.
[note to all: add my youtube, it goes there 1st always]

This is probably my biggest "go to" look because it goes with literally everything - lip, hair, shirt [even tho I usually wear neutral colour shirts, i love bright lips!] and it's so easy to do!

There's a lot of stuff that you don't HAVE to do, so pick and choose.


Enjoy!

Haul!!!

Good morning bloggers!

Is everyone good today?? I'm .... okay. A little bit irritated with where I live because the company is just not being very fair.

Enough about that, I doubt you really care.

I am so happy to share this! I went to a swap last saturday and got a bunch of things. For those who don't know what a swap is: Usually it's at someones house and people bring snacks for everyone. You bring clothes, shoes, books, etc and everyone can pick nd choose what they want. We also ended up watching "Prince of Persia" Such a good movie! I was surprised because I'd heard some bad reviews.

Anyways, so the swap was good. I didn't get a lot but I do enjoy what I did get. The girl running it had saved me a shirt that she thought I would like .... I thought that was nice :]

Well I did a video on the stuff I got, plus a few other things.

Enjoy!

TAG plus update! [HANDS UP!]

So before i get to the tag [below] just wanna do a quick update.

I'm currently on a mad weight loss kick. I find i'm eating more empty-carb foods that really aren't good for me. I have a goal nd it's to drop one pant size. I'm not a huge person but i find pants easier nd i'm currently enjoying to fact that my current pants don't try to kill me anymore. I've lost some weight recently - more like excess fat that my body didn't really need, like that 'muffin top' some girls have - but i got pants recently that are for summer. Tone down, shape up, eat better, be healthier. I get sick a lot, maybe this will help?

I finished my course.
100% on my practical
80% on my exam
70% on portfolio - i knew that mark wud drag everything down becuz i wasn't 100% happy with my portfolio!!
GRAND TOTAL OF:
83% average!

I've missed makeup counters doing their hiring, so i'm kinda pissed about that. Oh well, pretty soon i'll get my MAC discount nd all will be good.


I'm doing a tutorial on sunday using today's eyeshadow, becuz i got Urban Decay's 24/7 Jackpot eyeliners nd needed an excuse to test out 2 colours. Hahaha! Keep an eye out for that. I'm also doing a haul soon [you'll see all the liners i got] but probably also on Sunday. Saturday there's a swap going on nd i'll show what i got from that.

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich

I have the strangest craving for a dirty martini. I'm not even sure why! I love martini's, they're so classy. Makes me feel like i'm someone out of the 50's or something. They're always drinking martinis in old movies so it makes me feel classy like them. Haha, i swear i'm not a big drinker!

I am, however, a big shopper. Christmas is coming up nd i'm soooo excited! I live at home nd next year i cud be moved, so i'm going a bit pricy for my family.

For my mum i got her the MakeUp Forever Rockstar palette



Plus i'll be buying her a simple kit of brushes from Elf that she actually really liked. I'm so happy she's getting into makeup!


I'm getting my dad the original Tron movie from 1982 [i think] nd a calendar ... not sure which one yet.


Matt laughed at me the other day because of how much i spend on makeup. We went to Sephora nd while buying my mum's palette, i got myself this.




Oh yes ... Urban Decay 24/7 Jackpot eyeliners!

I fell in love with them through the picture posted beside them nd i was about to buy a few, then saw the packet of liners. Hello cheaper! [9$/liner, 47$ for the packet] Cannot resist!





What can i say? Makeup is officially my life.





Gala soon so obviously a haul soon ;D!

MAC and Hello Kitty .... epic.


Coco Chanel. For those who don't know, i'm pretty much obsessed


This cracks me up :D!


I found my iPhone cover!



Kirby. This is who my hamster is named after!!


So beyond true

Found this. So cool.


Tam - r.i.p <3 - made this to a story I wrote about her. The guy is Robin Black

My obsession with Wonderland/Underland will never die!!!

Manic Tuesday or just manic!?

I feel manic. Seriously. It's not a good feeling by any means of the word!!

Friday my portfolio is due and I am a HUGE perfectionist when it comes to this, so I work non-stop so I can get this done just so. I'm lucky that Anna is such a good sport! I've had her come over twice now. Once was for her Hallowe'en makeup, nd the 2nd was today so I could do 2 looks on her.


THiS is the best picture I could get with her whole costume!
[side note: I did message the people who took this and promised to keep the watermark. VERY iMPORTANT!

It was essentially making sure my practical was perfect as well as adding 2 looks to my portfolio. Day and evening look. I was so happy that with all the blending, her skin looked FLAWLESS!!! That wasn't an easy task though, but I do enjoy a challenge!




Doesn't she look amazingly "fresh faced" ?? I loved it! I was so happy with the outcome!
My next challenge was the smokey eye with black. I'm not that great of a pro with this BUT after taking classes nd practice with other colours, I have discovered an easier way for me. Anna's one to either wear minimal makeup or zero makeup. She did love this though.







NOW FOR A ViDEO!!!
My favourite look right now!
