Hey lovelies!!!
Okay so i was going to make a video YESTERDAY ... actually i had a few i was gonna do. Tutorial nd showing off my makeup kit BUT i woke up with the worst sore throat nd body aches, that i just had zero energy. I pretty much slept most of the day nd watched tv ... Stephen King's "The Mist" was on. That is one messed up movie! I hate horror movies but this wasn't too scary. Just a few parts i cud've done without. *shudders* Just gross.
Anyways ... this weekend i'm actually going to be starting my portfolio - which is also for my course. I'm getting marked on it but it's going to be for when i apply at makeup counters. Two of my friends have agreed to let me do their makeup when i see them this weekend. Another of my friends is getting married in a few weeks, so if i do hers or the other bridesmaids makeup, i told her i'm stealing pictures. Also i'm getting in touch with a photographer i did makeup for one of his shoots nd asking for those pictures. [he had promised he'd send them, but never did]
My course is going good. I got my eyebrows fixed for free, which is always a bonus. Now they're sort of even. One side is slightly different, but that's becuz they're different sizes. Don't ask. My eyebrows don't really work well becuz i shaved them
[Note: ***BAD iDEA!!! NEVER SHAVE YOUR EYEBROWS!!!***]
a few years ago when i got my eyebrow pierced. They never really grew back properly. So Friday we learned abt tweezing nd various eye makeup. I did someone else's makeup nd it's really weird becuz i'm use to a) my own brushes, b) my own makeup nd c) not qtips! We're allowed to bring our own brushes - i had to ask! - as long as we wash them before class. Now that we have our kits, we can use our own brushes. It's huge nd wonderful. I also got brushes, but i prefer mine. [which are MAC nd Sephora] I'll be doing a vid on them probably wednesday.
So that's probably it for me. I'll post pictas nd vids here soon soon soon! Promise!

love nd makeup!

I Am Not Afraid to Keep on Living
Today has been so up-and-down.
Woke up at the crack of freaking dawn [which is 7:15am] after not being able to sleep because of allergies. Ended up sleeping [thanks to Benadryl!] but for very little. Urg so not a morning person!
Angel - my sweet fur - came racing in when he heard my alarm nd meowing his little head off to make sure I'm awake. He does this when I have my alarm set [which is pretty much only once a week because I don't usually work until mid-afternoon]
ANYWAYS so not being a huge morning person, I had to drag my butt outta bed asap before I could concider falling back asleep [still tempting ...] Wash face, eat breakfast, shove cats out of my way, find boots, do makeup, remove Storm from my boots, get purse ready, change clothes 2x [stupid weather ...], nd finally leave. Surprisingly, my buses were on time! Such a shock actually ...
Took me 2 buses to get lost.
Of course I got lost!
Where I was going was in the mall I was originally at - so the 3rd bus I took was clearly for fun *glare*
Eventually got there - with a phone call nd assistance to get there - nd realized it was completely where I was suppose to be! It was a total beauty school but I'm only taking Makeup Artistry with a touch in Facial stuff [pretty obvious to me on why they have that involved]
Met with the lady - super nice nd loved her style! - nd i'm all signed up for makeup course! This is my DREAM nd i'm super excited! I start next week. Theory 1st nd idk when i'm getting my kit.
Afterwards I was SO BEYOND EXCiTED that I had to call my mum [yes, I call her lots even tho I live with her haha] She was super happy for me - obv ;D - especially cuz I'll be paying it all myself. I'll be semi-broke for awhile becuz I gotta pay half of it on the 1st day, but once I get my credit card at least I'll have backup for next payment in case I cannot pay the full amount. Ah well, work hours will be changing soon so I'll be able to save faster nd pay off other debts.
Needless to say, at this moment I feel half alive. After work my mum was super nice nd bought me an iced coffee. Clearly I looked half asleep to her also becuz the original plan was for us to share it, she had 2 sips nd gave it to me. *thanks mum!*
My plan is that on Sunday, one of my parents is coming with me to get baskets for my box shelving - it's getting quite cluttered - nd possibly a new laundry basket. Definatly need a messanger bag. Going from work to school isn't gonna cut it for my purse, especially if I'll be carrying my kit with me.
Anyways, tutorials next week! Promise!

The Future is in Your Hands!!!
Hey lovlies!!
I swear. Anytime i write a blog, it's always either late at night or at work! Oh well, at least a blog is written. Right??
What's been going on lately??
Well, actually lots!! Exciting news!!
First i must tell you about my day - because it's serious becoming an awesome day!!
Woke up this morning nd had to call student loan because I'm looking into going back to school for makeup artistry. They said I should talk to the financial advisor with the school [which isn't what i was told on Friday ... hate getting the run around!!]
Whatever. Right? Right.
Going on with my day, I got my dad to find some electrical tape that I can have for makeup. Got a nice roll of red tape!
**For those who don't know, tape helps with sharp edges. Scotch tape will fall off because of skin's natural oils. Electrical tape is epic. Duct tape also works but career flaw on my dad's part, we have electrical tape**
I've been practicing different looks prior to tutorials because I don't wanna mess them up when filming **HiNT HiNT** They're looking pretty good. Also with practising I can see if they need to be adjusted somewhat.
A few:
"Storm" - this is what I wore today
"Angel"
"Water View" - if I get orange, it'll change to a parrot idea
"Colour Swipe" - this was influenced by something a model wore for MAC & Milk fashion show
I do have a neutral one nd a simple single colour with strong liner too. Those are coming nd i'll show you pictas of course.
I DO have vids - just simple ones - on my youtube.

Check it out. Rate, comment, subscribe!
So after doing my makeup I did mad cleaning - dishes, my room, etc - nd started to see Matt. Before I left, I noticed mail.
EYE SHADOW ND CREDiT CARD!! Yay!!
Swapped awhile ago for eyeshadow [www.makeupalley.com] nd came in today! The sweetheart sent a purple MAC paints .... not sure how to use it but i'll find out :D Haha! Learning!
Dropped some books off before going to meet Matt. Yeh i hate the Book Market. 25 cents per book is crap.
Matt went to the bank then we headed to McD's for lunch. Meh. Hallowe'en spirit store next! Found some awesome things. May go back for fake lashes that have red gems in them before hallowe'en.
Decided to head downtown instead of just the reg mall. We wandered around for a few hours. Matt got his passport photo taken, i got nylons nd found an idea for my mum's xmas gift. It was feeling like probably one of my fave days that I've had in such a long time. Then it got better!
After downtown, I had to get cat food nd i decided to get hamster treats [pet photos coming soon - we have 4 pets in total] nd even though it's a HUGE book that I rarely get, i had to get this month's Elle book. Why? Kandee Johnson is in it!!
[www.kandeej.com OR www.kandeeland.com - www.youtube.com/users/kandeejohnson]
Kandee is my hero! After watching videos - especially one she talks about her past nd how she went through all this stuff nd has come out basically on top - she quickly became my hero. Same profession [makeup artistry] so I feel like I'm viewing her as a mentor. Kandee really inspired me to go after my dream - ie; makeup artistry.
So ANYWAYS got home nd saw that my mum basically bought my costume! [okay I have to pay her back but that's beside the point] Claire's had an Alice in Wonderland accessories line to promote the movie nd everywhere I'd looked, all the items were already gone! Around where my mum works, they had stuff still! YAY!!! Top hat on a headband, tutu-style skirt nd glitter tattoos for the face. I pretty much already have the eyeshadows to go with the style of makeup I want to do.
Which is this:
The only thing I'm not entirely sure on HOW to do, is the little eye decales with liner. I can do x's nd possibly hearts. Not sure how to do a club.
Ah well, plenty of time to practise!
Anyways I should crash, between talking to my parents nd MSN going off so much it's taken me almost an HOUR to write this .... damn.
